Chainsaw Balance suggestion

[Kurrus]

I think it should be:

 -A one-shot kill weapon, instantly kills anyone who touches it.
 -No reload time, or very very short.

But in order to balance it:

 -A short Startup time, just like the real saw.
 -A really small auto-bink in Realistic.

What do you guys think?

Byes!

[Toumaz]

I think it is fine the way it is. It's a weapon that demands pretty good agility and skill from the user, and this would make it a tad easier to use. Don't mess with my saw!

[TCO_SPARKY]

It kills you almost instantly anyway... if you turned it into an instant kill weapon, it would be unstoppable!
But i like the start up time idea

[Kurrus]

The instant kill is, well, damnit its a CHAINSAW! What would happen if you cut your body in half? You die! That is! 

Maybe more ammo and less reload time, but short start up should be enough.

Sidenote: I also think that the saw is OK right now, but it's only for balance and make it a more serious weapon. BECAUSE is more of a joke weapon (its quite funny to kill knifed bots! LOL) than a weapon itself. If you don't think so, Look at the knife, for example, its almost the same, but throwable...
But i still like it! 

Byes!

PD: I modded my own saw to work like I described, and it's perfectly balanced!
...
Oh my! Why didn't I EVER think of that? Make a modded saw!

i just dont understand wat the reload is for, i know it balances it, but wat do u reload every like 3 seconds but takes like 1 to do

Due to lag, you already need to waste 10 ammo before you even hit the target. this would make it even harder to use.

if u get shot by, say, a mp5, u die too, so do u want all guns to one hit kill?

Actually in Realistic, all weapons except autos can be a one-hit kill shot with a bit of practice.

[F3nyx]

Startup time > reload.  The frequent reload is ridiculous -- a one-time startup would balance it well.

Wrong. The Soccom isn't an auto :p

ya, we die, but it takes a bit of time to get it through our body....and that amount of time is just right in soldat

[cr4sh]

Reloads are fine, you have to change the gas sometime in real life.  Start up time would proablly be more realistic, but not for how it's used now.  People that use it as a normal seccondary (meaning they use their primary more than the saw) would logically only take it out when the oportunity for a quick kill arises.

So putting the start up would convince people to use it for a longer period of time than just a quick change to kill someone. 

The "whip it out fast" tactic is much more practical for soldat.  Maybe a good mod idea though.

[X-Rayz]

No thanks, i like the saw. And i want it to stay this way.

FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_>_<_<

The only problem I have with the saw is the reload time. I think it should removed as the weapon is crippled already. Removing the reload would make it more versatile.

[Cato269]

The saw isn't crippled. the the hands of an expert it is the most lethal weapon in the game. think about it, almost instakill every time, and you can kill very fast when enemies are on the same screen, unlike most other weapons you need a good 8-10 seconds to wipe out 3 people on the same screen. unless you use saw as a primary, then you really ought to be quiet.

[Axel]

if ur having probs using the saw to the fullest, when your chasing someone, right before you reach them and your in the air you go prone and look back at the exact moment that you pass them. instakill and your on your feet, as if you didnt even press the c button.

When I say crippled, I mean that its a close range weapon. If a sawer was charging/suppermanning toward a loaded barrett......

.....You do a backflip, and unless they guy has super good aim he will miss.

[ArmedManiac]

Cato, all I have to say to that is secondary. Anyway, no, saw is already quite good with a few select people, if it were better it would be a crazy death machine of doom and death.

[SadistAtHeart]

No startup time. Bad bad bad idea. In fact, most of those ideas are bad except the instant kill.
