Limit Electro Ball spam

[torus]

I like -z-'s suggestion. Have the weapon overheat. Shoot too many, overheats, then you need to wait a cooldown period before you can shoot at all.

doku, my comment was not refering to ctf , forgot to mention it. i dont play enought ctf to know if its good or if it should be limited to 5. but from what i understand you are refering to public ctf, i do think that experienced players should not interfer too much on the gameplay of public ctf server since those server are meant to be fun for begginner players and i think that super spamming is pretty fun when u start playing

of course, a player that does that on a server that is stated as not for noob, like the phoenix one, should be warn once that this is a nuisance to his own team and than be kicked if he continues to do it.

It should shoot 4 balls. Switching between the modes would be cool, tho.

Or at least it could spam like this, but after the 4-5th ball, the reload time should increase in a drastical way.

Shoot too many, overheats, then you need to wait a cooldown period before you can shoot at all.

It doesn't seem like an overheating weapon to me. To me it would seem more like a plasma accumulating thing. The plasma is loaded from the ammo tank into a balling process which only has a certain volume and refills slower than the use of ammo.

Whichever way, it would need some kind of readiness indication.

This means animated weapons.

Isn't the FP weapon models are already animated?
They pull back when you fire it, but I haven't seen any reloads or any other FP animations in the video though, but I haven't got the game yet, so I'm going off the video...

But the game could make it so the guns pull back with out animations, but I wouldn't really know, I didn't make the engine.

Pullback is not an animated weapon (reloading, pulsing, etc..)

[gjsdeath]

Do you mean the pull back is not an animation?
But reloading and things like that have to be, unless you don't see them on screen when they reload, I wouldn't know till I download it.

...A lot of noobs do the same thing in CTF within their own base.

I run over their balls and hope they will quickly die
