Random Weapon Assignment

[DarK]

Hi all!

This could be an intertising additive!

Players would spawn with a random primary weapon, but could choose their seconary.

This would enforce the usage of a particular gun to be shared.

it would also assist people to change their ways from 1-shot-kill weapons, and encourage the usage of the chosen secondary weapon.

Would be dead easy to implement so this may be talk that can be put into action.

Thoughts on this little idea? ::

YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY MY BARRET, NEVER!


It'd be hillarious to scrim with this, people using weapons they suck with.

A lot of your suggestions are based on what all the other games are doing. Not one for thinking out of the box are you?

This idea on the other hand has potential.

i like the idea, its kinda like something off of starcraft called Race Wars...you choose random races, and same races team up..anyhow...i like this idea, it would be a fun gametype

Random weapons is a common setting.

Good idea, server side option.

[Svirin Kerath]

how about a random weapon /combonation/? you don't even choose secondary... tho i suppose that's not too original either.

this is an awesome idea tho.

Random weapons is a common setting.

It's also already available in Soldat, too. I've played on servers where you start off with a secondary and unlock a primary via killing the enemy. If you die, you stand a chance to lose an unlocked primary. This is my favorite Soldat setup, though it is horrible once one team gains a primary weapon advantage over the other and keep nade spawning so that the team never has a chance for a primary weapon.

I don't at all like the idea of this as a server option, but a local random select would be great.

Domino, you speak of Advance Mode.

[CheeSeMan.]

This could be funny though

I GOT THE MINIGUN AGAIN OMFG!11!!!!

HANG ON a minute!

Uh, no it doesn't. In Advance Mode, you earn a number of random weapons depending on how well you score, and you still choose among them.

this is an alright idea - could be quite funny and stop people using barret for the whole time.

I tried to suggest this before also, but it didnt made it through (i wonder why) but my varriant of it had so even the secondary would be randomly selected. 

Nevertheless i like the idea...
