LAW back blast

[SuperSissi]

The LAW is a recoilless weapon, so shouldn't there be a back blast that kills people who are too close behind the shooter?

[homerofgods]

Negative.  In reality yes. In soldat, you'd have to justify why, because soldat is not reality.

[~Niko~]

yeah, remove the jet boots too, or the minigun. That's a helicopter mounted weapon that can't be carried by a soldier.

No. Straight no.

I'd only ever agree to being able to MOD the LAW's fire sprite to be able to make it appear to have a backblast.

[tehsnipah]

I think that is useless. It requires severe luck to kill a person I bet.

I actually think this is a great idea to bring back some of the LAWs popularity. yes, you've gotta be lucky to kill someone this way but it would definitely be very cool. especially with a new graphic for the back blast. also imagine aiming at an enemy in front of you and at the same time killing or injuring a guy trying to creep up behind you.

you people are wayyy too critical, no wonder this game just seems to hover over the same spot

[EnEsCe]

The LAW definitely needs something changed about it; but not what has been suggested in this topic. I am open to other suggestions though.... Reenable firing in air while proned perhaps?

If that is supposed to be in the next version I quit Soldat

New animations? No way, all mods that have been released till now wouldn´t work properly. LAW is already popular, I dont see a point with shooting from the ground with high speed, nice ricochets and a big explosion

I am with that, it is almost useless

[scout]

the law should have a different separate firing animation. It should be fired over than under armed. and yes back blast would be a good idea too, but killing or even injuring someone is not feasable in soldat.

do not re-enable the 'prone-in-midair-and-shoot' ability, there were lots of complains back when this was possible and re enabling it would just make it a rocket propelled knife

also, at least add the graphic. I highly doubt a little puff of smoke coming from the back of the law will destroy mods

That's the most I'd like to see - a graphical change, but being able to kill with that backblast (thus affecting gameplay) is a big no-no.

Mid-air shots are also terrible, another no-no.

[croat1gamer]

Well, not really killing the enemy, more like setting him on fire and lowering his health for 1/3.
Or at least pushing him away.

Also to add, the backblast affects the people BEHIND the law shooter.

F11 for mid shots, because it is obvious.

Bit of offtopic:

Change in the .ini setting the law bullet type to spas bullets, crouch on the ground, and fire at the ground, hold your click.
FLLYYYYYY

I found out that when i was testing the mecha mod.

[Dairy]

I can imagine in teamplay with friendly fire on when your mate would stop behind you and you just blast his nutts off.

It's not really bad idea but I guess F11.

Addin' puff to the back of the law would work nicely. =)

Mid-air law shot - F11

[Rook_PL]

This idea is dumb. Even as only image of flames on back of the pipe. And I suppose the mid-air shot was taken out for a good purpose. Don't bring it back.

Reenable firing in air while proned perhaps?

I got my thumbs up for this! It cannot be too overpowered because of the startup and other things.

You can make your own soldat with that kind of setting. I swear, if that ever happens I will quit soldat as Dark is willing to.

It would help, as often when you stand on the edge of 2 polys you sometimes "fall" and to shoot you will have to change your position to a single poly, to stand firm, which takes precious time.
But adding it some bigger nerfs, like barret like bink when you try to prone shoot the law in mid air, to prevent Majors rushing on that way.

[scarface09]

That black smoke would actually look pretty cool. And it would be really hard to kill enemies from it so it actually sounds good,

[LtKillroy]

How to improve LAW: Remove startup, significantly lower reload (like fuggin' halve it), fire while standing (not in the air), make it able to fire in air but being inaccurate, increase speed. Pick one, some, or all. This is not it.

[p0ppin]

I'd think all of those are good, except the speed increase - there are so many perfect shots on Ash that will never work if the speed is increased even just a little 

Sorry I'm a rico-whore
