Making the crylink useful

[Bnonn]

Oooh, a plasma fountain. That sounds sweet (:

If you do some sort of lightening gun, you should have it do more damage if you are touching the ground.

[Bnonn]

Heh, that's quite a cool idea. If you're being hammered by the LG, just keep jumpin! Seriously, I reckon that would be pretty neat; especially if there was a discharge to the ground when your feet weren't touching anything. It would make the weapon quirky. Quirky is good; it stops it being boring and copyist.

I tried to show dave that the crylink is ok...mid-air anyway, secondary it's not bad you just need to take your time with it, me and esteel were doing a pretty good defensive job with him using the machine gun and myself only the crylink to proove a point.

But anyhow, it's too hard to use for the average player, way to hard.

I'm in favour of a lightning gun, don't make it draw rainbows or something if one is going to be used....just make it simple and effective

I'm telling you lightning guns are unoriginal, the plasma fountain would be freaking awesome

Yes exactly what i said before, as long as it doesn't make rainbows....and that my friend sounds pretty close.



But on a serious note, Lightning gun sort-of same thing please!!!

I remain convinced that the Crylink needs a gimmick.

As it is, it's boring and not terribly useful.

Maybe a cloaking device that would just burn through cells.

Maybe something that would give you a movement trick of some sort, although I can't think of anything useful that you can't already do or something that wouldn't unbalance the game (or at least CTF).

Maybe a short ranged grapple.

Maybe a shield of some sort that would burn through cells.

Maybe marginal auto aim.

Maybe a something with massive bounce, like a scaled up laser. Or maybe a tractor/repulsor beam.

Maybe a Turok Rage Wars style flare gun.

Something that lets you switch places with another player.

Maybe a cell intensive powerful attack that needs to be charged up.

Maybe some sort of jetpack function.

Maybe something that would project a hologram of you.

Maybe a smoke bomb (if it wouldn't murder framerates).

I dunno. Just tossing some ideas out.

Nice ideas! Alot of those rock I particularly like these ones:

Maybe a cloaking device that would just burn through cells. - I like!

Maybe a shield of some sort that would burn through cells. - ut-esque?

tractor/repulsor beam. - I like!

Maybe a Turok Rage Wars style flare gun. - cool idea, but im not sure what use it would have

Maybe a smoke bomb (if it wouldn't murder framerates)- less so, I can imagine that a particle based smoke could be defeated by turning particles low.

Recently Ive tried to use the crylink more often, but really only the secondary fire is in any way usefull. The primary is so innaccurate that at close range, where it might be usefull, the shotgun does a better job- cuz its mo powerful.

Lightning-Gun, simple and effective!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Some fuky ideas i admit kozak but i dont think theyd fit the gameplay at all,
smokebombs....were going into CS here.
and a repulsor beam? i dont even think the USS Enterprise has one of those.

[torus]

agreed. but if the c-link is turned into a lightning gun, then it should change names wit the electro imo
