M79 delay?
« on: June 15, 2006, 11:39:35 am »
Since both, the M79 and barret are one-shot weapons they both should have delay.  Each has their own advantage making them equally powerful:
-) barret has long range and has fast-flying bullets
-) m79 has (relative) short reload time can get into angles that let the shooter be 'out of sight' (as opposed to the barret and it explodes making it more useful in real mode.

omg jesus christ, the only thing m79 can do well is close range combat, but if you put a delay on it, you're taking away all it has left.....the bullet's arc are hard to aim, and even if the guy aimed right the bullet speed can miss an elephant...not those fast kinds of african elephants neither.

barrett can take a delay because you'll be able to spot them, and even with delay, to kill them at a fairly long distance. you'll have chance to hold it down before you guys get close enough is what i'm trying to say.

but m79s are better sued for close range combat, and if the m79 hold down the fire too earlier, the enemy can just turn back and it'll be a miss; likewise, if they hold it down too late, it's close range after all, they'll be dead.

jesus when will this end???

m79 is for close-range combat.  You want to give a close-range weapon a delay?

M79 definately needs a StartUpTime. So people can react before they're blown to pieces.

It's a one hit kill weapon - the others aren't...  that's the difference!

If you're suck too much in the game that a guy can so easily surprise you from behind then you do deserve to die.

we need to have at least one one-hitter with no delay, i would rather it be the m79....i have no problem dodging m79, it is fine how it is.
Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

Remember that there is no player with 100% accuracy, and keep in mind that yo can always press X when u see m79, to dodge.

Go screw another weapon and leave the M79 alone.
It's a damn attack weapon, it's supposed to be fast.. we don't need a delay.

wow, i vote we put delay on the MP5, the Ak-74, the minimi, and the steyr. Why you may ask? Because it's cheap that a gun can shoot that many bullets. [/sarcasm]

Delay!!! Pleeasssee put delay! M79 is currently just a weapon for noobs and newbs. If you don't put delay then make it take two hits to kill and faster reload time. That would be good.

RIGHT ON!  lol
everytime i try to teach the game principals to a friend he always chooses the m79 cuz it's a very ez gun to use cuz he always just runs around and when he sees and enemy he fires the gun and kills usually if the enemy was close...

Me, personally, i agree with mr. jenkins and zyxstand. I think the M79 is a noob gun. but hey everyone, everyone thinks another gun is noob too. I just think a point-and-shoot gun that not too much skill requires is just noobish. Others say the barret is noobish, but do you see noobs acually hitting people with it? the delay has driven away noobs. I am thinking maybe the delay with an M79 will do that too.
