new weapon concept

[Flying Steel]

Option 3: Make a mutator for melee only and have this be the weapon? (This could be done with option 1, as well)

I think and hope folks will just vote for option 1 in either case.

But if they didn't, could this mutator work more like laser-guided-missiles, where it only modifies how one weapon works (the laser in this case) while allowing the player to still pick up and wield the other weapons as well?

I would do it as melee _only_ -- As in just this weapon. But well, now that I think about it, I could add a mutator for it in any situation, even #2.

I think it can only get useful (and playable) when its NOT off-hand: otherwise it would be really hard to balance it properly, and also doesnt make too much sense that someone carries a huge weapon like this on his left hand or something. If its off-hand it will totally encourage camping on the other side of the corner since either if he misses hitting the opponent, he can shoot with the actual (ranged) weapon or use this "gauntlet" in combo with it; that would be abnormally strong.

I vote 1.

Will help coding it for sure, give me the model asap when it's in a usable state (does not need to have good texturing yet). I'll use it in Nexrun right away

First, who drags themselves along walls? Second, how could they predict when a person is coming?
I'd suggest option 2, though 1 could work as well, but not 3.

Are you still working on this model yoda?

Very old-school DooM players

If you are, me can haz GPL'd model?
Already implemented gauntlet code in Nexrun.

[Yoda almighty]

I really like it from what I've seen of it. But to me it looks like a more elagant version of the UT Impact hammer... Makes me wonder...
