Topic: New weapon suggestion...

Just a quick idea:
Slug Gun:
Max. ammo: 8 needles
Damage: 1 armor and 2 health
Rate of fire: moderate
Behaviour: When shoot, long steel needle will travel straight at very high speed, piercing through every Tee at it's path.
Usage: Useful for attacking multiple opponents, gathered on straight line, and fighting with high-armored enemies. IMHO, great alternative to laser rifle.

Discuss.

It's too similar to the rifle. Although I do think the rifle should not stop after it hits one player (act like the rail in Quake).

More cool would be if when Friendly fire is off, u could bounce the laser off ur teammates. xD

We will meet again when the flowers spread their glorious scent of victory and the birds sing us the melody of justice...

Re: New weapon suggestion...

the idea is not that bad, maybe a weapon that only reduces health and not armor?

Good from balace point, bad from logic point. How can needle fly through armor not damaging it ?

Well, we don't actually see any armor on the tees, like kevlar or such, which leaves it up to imagination to explain what kind of armor we're talking about here. Maybe it's some sort of hardened skin, or maybe something else. Whatever the type, maybe some small projectile filled with a poison could slip between two plates or something, and then just have the poison enter the blood stream. A slow effect, that takes one heart every x seconds would be another possible interesting effect of the weapon.

The proposition "I am the center" need never be uttered. It is the assumption upon which all certainty and all doubt turns.

Computer games don't need to make sense. What is a Tee, and why are they trying to kill other Tees? Why do weapons and health float around the map? This is unrealistic. How do they float there? It doesn't make sense.

... Point being, video games don't need to make sense.
