Give every weapon a special ability. Extra ammo, mini-scope a simple grenade launcher to just name a few.

Sounds cool,but that would require new weapon balancing...

It kills game simplicity and complicates weapon balance and is currently not necessary.

Actually, this depends on what gamemode

It'll completely destroy normal game play and weapon balance and make the game less desirable to be played by most.

Plus a lot of this stuff can be accomplished easily with scripting and weapon modding. (and has)

I dunno. I f12'd but it might ruin the game

Maybe just another power up box.
Basically the same concept as what you're saying, though you only receive it after picking up the box.

Doing that would have no harm on normal gameplay!
Since powerup boxes aren't used on every server, and when they are, they're quite rare!

No...Reasons are clear and mentioned already.
It's too complicated, and how would you operate those special "scopes" and "nade launchers"?

pinOi32 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 21, 2009, 03:23:14 pm »

I think its a good idea

L[0ne]R · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2009, 01:20:25 pm »

Every weapon already does have sort of a special ability. LAW doesn't get binked, barrett has zoom, DEagles shoot 2 bullets at the same time, knife can be thrown, etc.
Anything more than that would lead to balance issues, take away some of each weapon's style, take away the importance of secondaries (why use LAW if you have built-in grenade launcher?)

Just it needs to be unhardcoded and added in the weapons.ini file.

scarface09 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2009, 08:42:52 pm »

Its not that bad of an idea...if he means for game modes like rpg or wcs then its cool. But not for the original gameplay and everything.

Also I suggest that you can also turn it on or off, based on the admin of the server.

demoniac93 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 23, 2009, 06:11:01 am »

Ugh, no means no, you couldn't get this running on any server whatsoever, I wouldn't even take this into TTW.

There are already special abilities:

-Desert Eagles: 2 bullets for each round => double damage.
-HK MP5: Better aim when being crouched (test it).
-Spas 12: Shotgun mode and special roundreload.
-M79: Instant kill on direct hit and splash damage.
-Barret M82A1: Scope function when being crouched or prone.
-Combat Knife: You can throw it and you can stab enemys.
-M72 LAW: Doesn´t get binked.

Add extra ammo? The weapons are balanced right now. Adding extra ammo ruins the balancing. MiniScope? On which weapon please? Maybe add a scope to the minigun! I would laugh out loud on that one. Oh! WHY NOT SCOPE THE KNIFE!?

Grenade launcher is similiar to a new weapon that would need to be added and as that it is in the Don´t-Suggest list that you should have read before posting this right here.

To end all weapon suggestions, EVERYTHING to do with the weapons needs to be unhardcoded and added to a weapons .ini file...

Seconded.

And maybe add some sort of pickup bonus that ads scope to every gun?

Nice one.
What if you have barret though?

Maybe make the barrett scope go even farther?
