little 2.0 rant

[dontai]

k i am gonna go on a little rant and post a few thing i thought of while i was playing in 2.0 labs. If their was ever a patch i would like to see the base ball bat back, i don't see why we couldn't find in west london or somthing. I also miss boxing with the zombie, i wouldn't mind having that back eithor. Alt fire sound cool like you hit them with but of your gun/rifle/what ever. Throwing knives sound cool to me, Throw the thing and then the knife falls to the floor so you can pick it back up. Teach those siren a lesson when im out of ammo. I also like to see some more real world weapons like a m16 or ak-47. Honestly i never hurd of the bul - up before now.

I also like a feature to set up wave settings, so that we dont have to go in to the ini to change it, mabey a feature like unreal tournment for changing wave setting and health ect. So wave one nothing but clots with 200% extra health that run 20% faster. Mabey head shot feature that you can turn on or off? Also a gravity gun to move objects, since object movers dont seem to work perfectly. Already know this has been said but land mines for blocking door way and keeping hall ways clear. Remote bombs enough said. I have no idea if your working on more bot features. Thats another thing i would like has a final patch once you get in AI coder. Servers for the first 10-15 min are empty after that they fill up quick. Last and most importentent remove the player Limit or increases it to eight. Ty

Huh. I agree with the wave changing. And landmines. But Dontai, the bat was just reskinned to the pipe... it's still there. Fists are pretty useless as a weapon as well. I like the hitting things with your gun, might be hard to code though.

The number of people in a server I think is six for a reason... I would like 8 too, would make team play more interesting and free up others to do what they need to, but this keeps the servers smooth... it's hard enough getting six.

Also, all of the weapons ARE real world weapons... the US army uses M16s, not the British, and they wouldn't take them into an Urban setting, most likely an M4 carbine or something. AK-47s are used by Asian and Middle East countries, where the ease of making them can help arm a large army or help reduce costs for a poor one.

I agree we need different assault rifles, but that's a LOT of work to add that in... give it time, Alex promised a surprise for us.

A gravity gun is retarded, honestly.

A KABAR combat knife is extremely hard to use as a throwing knife effiectivly due to the balance issues.

[udyrfrykte]

I'm into knife throwing, and I can say that it's pretty much random if you throw a combat knife that is not balanced.
At least it's much harder if you can do it at all

[uwasawaya]

Throwing a knife is pretty damn tough... I'd say most military wouldn't equip their soldiers with throwing knives, but most militaries wouldn't equip their soldiers with Winchesters, Crossbows or Hunting Shotguns...

And there is no way there will be a gravity gun... besides being utterly useless (what could you possibly use it for? The karma system is twitchy enough as it is...) it's pretty out of place... I don't think the game engine would support it.

If you want to build stuff like that, maybe deployable sandbags or buildable barricades would be useful... however if you ever played any Battlefield 1942 mods, you might see how those can be abused...

We do need another assault rifle, or at least a decent one... I know ZB and Abyx agree on that.

Go play Half Life 2

[Abyx]

If anything, the bullpup should be changed to a SMG of sometype, and then have the bullpup be a normal assault rifle.

What would also be awesome is a LMG, I'm sorry but that'd be so god damned fun.

[kyben]

lol, an uzi.

[tabcef]

MP7, dawg!

[uwasawaya]

True, but I don't know if European forces use the MP7... do they Abyx? Still be a nice addition...

A SCAR would be a nice addition perhaps... whichever variant.

LMGs would rock, but I think the rocking is what the mounted MG is made for...

Portable M60s or MG42s would be fun though...

[Abyx]

MG42 and M60sw are so god damned out dated. Seriously.

SCAR is in use by American special forces, still in it's testing phase..wouldn't make much sense.

Uwasa, the MP7 is an HK weapon, HK is German. Therefore, it is a European weapon.

First of all, you'd REALLY dispute how outdated the M60 and MG42s are when you signature weapon is a Winchester?

And I just suggested the SCAR because it was different.. maybe to provoke a discussion. Personally I'd like a FAMAS.

And as for the MP7 being German... umm... yeah, you got me...

[Abyx]

The winchester is still a reliable weapon. The m60 and the MG42 are not by today's standards.

A FAMAS would probably make more sense than a SCAR, but either way.

[tabcef]

FAMAS? Bleh..

I see too many of those while playing Rainbow Six, thank you very much.

Gimme a FAL or some sort of AK knockoff..

7.62 would be enough to justify the power upping from the Bullpup..

The MG42 is a World War 2 weapon.. That's why it's outdated. This is just a guess, but I am guessing the 42 in MG42 stands for 1942..?

The M60e4 is a little outdated, but it uses 7.62, unlike the US's standard issue support weapon now, which uses 5.56, doesn't it?

Also, the most important issue to me is that the mighty flak-jacket beret is gone..

[Abyx]

The M60 is a peice of shit, honestly. Which is why I say don't put it in.

The MG42 would be extremely hard to handle in the field against the creatures.
