Imploding Electo

[Psychcf]

we need something like the hyperblaster from q4, but it should be innovative. how about a combination hyperblaster and dark matter gun (referring to quake 4)
It would fire imploding dark matter like a machine gun. Mabie also the gravity gun from half life 2 when they get loose/breakable objects working.

Alternatively, the primary could be Hyper Blaster-like, and the secondary be to launch a grenade-like object that made a plasma implosion.

A 50 cell attack? That actually sounds like a neat idea - super powerful attacks that wear down ammunition. How many times have you dominated a game with hundreds of shells or rockets? A move that would reduce all that to zero in a few seconds would be interesting.

It wasn't very much fun.

Because it was the laser secondary, you ended up with a BFG on a pogo stick, and you couldn't kill it until he ran out of ammo.

I made the Electro shoot a hack of a lot faster and do 999 damage, imploding would be good for secondary fire i think, but in my case, no imploding for primary fire (unless its triggered by...say left click, but then there would be no secondary fire because secondary fire would be to make the primary implode)

If you cant use the Crylink, make it shoot more stuff at a faster rate with more damage. Thats what I did.

The Crylink is tricky.

I've been toying with it a little bit lately.

The trick seems to know when to use each firemode.

The secondary fire is actually extremely useful. It has a much farther effective range than you would expect, and it's easy to hit with since leading isn't as much of a problem. It's doesn't have the range of the mg secondary, but it's still surprisingly long reached.

The primary seems to be a medium to medium-close range thing. Too close is bad, since other close range weapons are meaner. The slow and widely spreading projectiles are difficult to compensate for, though.

There is a tMod om my server (http://zdev.dvrdns.org/) however thats a 2.x rewrite of it that does not yet have thise extra weapons.

tMod being rewritten=AWESOME
please make support for LOTS of guns

I think there should be a game mode with wacky, unbalanced, totally fun weapons.
Off topic I know, but i can't contain myself.

Another idea: Make crylink primary fire a little faster between shots ans make it a little more powerful. It seems to take a lot of hits to frag anyone with it. The altfire mode is great because it usually gets more hits to target per shot.
Or, make the primary fire mode a large ball of energy, which explodes and sprays out the little balls upon impact. That way, you get can get a lot of hits on the target once it hits on\near target, but not necessarily instant death if the target moves away.
Btw, at first I was thinking about the cluster bomb thing as an altfire for the hagar.
