My thoughts on the weapons

Postby ☃ (snowman) » Sun Dec 21, 2008 7:05 pm

I'm usually not compelled to do this but, I think some of the weapons could use some improvements. Here are my thoughts:
    ∙ The HLAC's secondary fire really makes you jump too high (of course, there is a huge price to pay but, still).
    ∙ The HLAC's primary fire starts accurate and gets inaccurate. So as soon as you stop shooting, it becomes accurate. I think the accuracy should just be constant.
    ∙ A lot of guns use the same ammo. I think the hager and mortar should use a new ammo type and, the HLAC should use machine gun ammo.
    ∙ IMHO, the mortar's secondary fire should be completely changed (Perhaps a close range thing like HLAC's secondary fire?).
    ∙ The crylink primary fire should spread just a little bit faster.


edit: These aren't really bugs but, I didn't know were to put this.

I like your idea about the HLAC using machinegun ammo, especially since no other weapon except the machinegun uses it.
Possibly not the worst mapper in the world.

Sec mortar is sometimes useful: two, three sec mortar + 1 primary mortar -> same as electro trap.

Hagar sec is really useless.

It just seems too similar.

I use it when someone turns a corner. I think most maps aren't really made for it.

Regardless, what do you think of my suggestions?

Well yes , but i think its not that usefull, most of the maps you can't jump that high and it costs about 100 HP. Ok in Mentalspace its pretty usefull.

No i think its fine and some kind of realistic. (wait, Nexuiz + realistic = NOT :D )

1st point: No , Hagar and Mortar and the RL are using a kind of rockets so they should have the same ammo type. 2nd point: Agree.

NO, the 2nd mortar secondary is awesome :D

Yeah, at least we could try it ;)

I always thought they looked like grenades myself.
edit: I meant the hagar and the mortar

The ammunition shared between the Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher, and Hagar are warheads, not rocket motors.
