now for secondary fire. I say lightning fountain.

I dont like the lightning fountain idea. How bout a lightning gun, but it would have a range limit, and the range and/ or power of each hit would decrease by x.75 or something. I think basic is better in the long run.

Sorry but if that happens im off, why on earth should it decrease? if anything it should INCREASE.

[torus]

What if a couple players rush a base- a lightning gun that increases in power with each hit could easily wipe out an entire team. imo the point of a LG is to add some cool manuevers, like hitting a person you cant see yet (around corners etc). Maybe its just me.
in any case, if a lightning gun is implemented, the lightning should "arc" from player to player, not just travel in a straight line.

Damage and range should increase as you fire, cyan? That's a novel idea. Explain your reasoning?

wtf is the difference? Hes idea is better because its tried in 10+ games?

Anyways just think it would be cool?

The difference is that when it's done a lot, there is usually a good reason. Having damage increase as you fire would make the weapon stupidly over-powered. Having an initial high damage, and then lower damage (like the machinegun, if it still does this) makes some level of sense.

if damage started at 0.01 and ended at 1.0 i cant see how its overpowered (example)?

[torus]

First off, I never said my suggestion was "novel." Second, its in 10+ games (?) because its a good idea. Third, you start out with something that underpowered, and its only usefull vs a large group of people, if at all.
