Man I wish Nexiuz had one of these:
sword, knife, lightsaber,
pointy sharp drill or green glove of death (GGD)???

sword: well u can slice and dice
knife: you stabe only
drill: ouch... .... I'm bleading
GGD: radioactive robotic glove *Now with glowin the dark green light*

This has been discussed over and over. and also tested, and allthough its a good idea, the overall conclusion is that nexuiz is too fast for a melee weapon.. The green glow of death could be cool though

Well... UT's impact hammer would work fine in Nexuiz I think... but just because it automatically "discharges" when touching an enemy.

Does UT's translocator count as melee weapon? At least I used it as such...

Green Glove of Death... or something similar. I'm always bumping into people, might as well do some damage while I'm there.

The pointy drill gun would be fun to play around with...

If it gets included, prepare to get MUTILATED!


M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL!

No. The translocator is clearly a projectile weapon

I know it's hard to resist the GGD (Green Glove Of DEATH).
trust me, I get the feeling everytime, when I o3n ppl,
thinking baout o3ing ppl even harder like having that.

it would me amazing if when u touch the enemy with it,
there screen gets smoky and grey like and whey they
get the punch of death with the GGD. there whole screen
goes black, and no sound can be heard of there death, that
would be insanlly sick and scary as heck.

oh eyah the faster the game the better think about it,
tag ur it, oh what happened he's dead, oppps. forgot to
tell u I have GGD.

oh yeah, bu the GGD must be limited to 1 like the
sniper rifle.

After having thought about it, my favourite would be the glove, but not killing but stealing all the ammunition from my opponent by touching him.

Would be da shit

You do have a point, but if it was to come true, the green glove of death should be only able to use on a few weapons. You don't have to pick it up, but on certain weapons you can press "F"

Hmm, i'd like a "dis-armour" hand weapon, that would do no damage, but remove half the opponents armour. You all know what sort of opponent that would be come in handy for...

After having played a few hours of nethack how about cursing weapons when touching the opponent?
But i still think nexuiz has enough weapons, so maybe one of the wepaons with only one function should get a secondary mode and as this would be a bad idea for the nexgun we are left with the laser. Something like a small shockwave around the player.. it could even be used with those various ideas of removing or halving the opponents armor or make him drop his gun instead of doing 'normal' damage.

But i still think nexuiz has enough weapons

Never. There could never be enough weapons.
As soon as i learn QC i'm gonna make a ton of revolutionary weapons for nex.
I always thought that there should be a mode where RANDOM weapons spawn, with only the one fire mode (either always normal or always alternate). Force people to use some of the less popular weapons.
By the way, the hook should be a pickup also.

That's already in 2.1, try: g_nixnex 1

We would need a cool item model for it first

Imagine being able to grapple an individual while wielding a short-range weapon like a sabre or whatever. That's an interesting way of attacking somebody. The grapple would do damage, but the grapple would also pull you to them and do further damage.

I like the option of the grapple being a pick-up item as well. I've heard of a couple of good ideas for the grapple, including it requiring "fuel" in terms of energy cells. That would reduce the "spiderman" tactics (or tarzan, your choice) and require people to think before they grapple.

hmmm I don't like the grapple ammo suggestion, if you've played the facingworlds map before you know why. I could make the grapple model, it would give me something to do during decemeber break.

Don't bother until something is decided. But you can do it for kicks
