Have you ever played Quake, UT, or any fast paced FPS? There are always weapons (with some exceptions) that you can't avoid if your opponent got a good aiming.

but in UT there are shields and other pickups etc.

@ spl0k :
Well, first Quake and Warsow are 3d games, so we can't really compare. And the projectiles of weapons like rocket launcher, plasma gun, machine gun aren't curved, so it is easier to attack an opponent who is far away.  Also, the shield would be an anti-laser but an anti-hook. It would be pretty useful.

the solution: lets make the laser show us that we should avoid it by letting it charge! It rumbles a bit with a decent charge sound, making its reload time longer and its impact position predictable.

How would it make it's impact position predictable? If you know where it is going, then it would be way too easy to dodge.

If you just needed to charge it, then it sounds a bit like the gauss gun in Half-Life.

I should have said "more predictable", thats what i thought though. Giving the laser a charge time and sound would result in drawing more attention to it, giving you more time to avoid it and think about counter measures.

Okay, I see now. The only reason I wouldn't want this is because it would make the rifle harder to use big_smile

yeah i think so too, right now the laser is just point n click cause there is no gravitation of course which would make the line curved. Imho it is hard to be a laser master rite now, but its just nearly impossible to escape a laser pro.. I just think its better to make the laser harder instead of running around with a shield which is impossible to use for even experienced players with the parameters ubuntu suggested smile maybe u got an idea too gordzo?
