for some odd reason the lightning gun seems to like shooting at flags, mines and bombs, this doesnt interfere with shooting the enemy, and looks quite cool but its just something to say. the one thing that i think needs fixing though is that the LG does not set off the mines and bombs...but just targets them, if this is fixed then you have a really effective minesweeper, which would be quite cool |

It does set off mines and packs you just have to play the volts around on em a bit. |

really...maybe i didnt shock them enough..i'll go check checked it...primary fire doesnt do squat against mines....looks cool, but doesnt set them off...the alt fire works great though... the test consisted of placing 5 remote bombs at my feet and then firing directly onto them with the LG, primary fire first, and then full charge from secondary fire...took pictures at all 3 steps too |

Ok, Ok, We know about this, and we have fixed it for v2.0. I know it doesn't detonate FP9s , but I'm sure it works on the BX5 land mines! 
Reason: BX5 has health that runs out when damaged. Health <= 0, BOOM!!! FP9 had a threshold of 10, LG does 5 damage. FP9 now has health as well...
I've seen the flag bug and its on the list. We'll see if we can get rounf to fixin it... |

Can the lightning gun detonate G5s? I tried but the rocket didn't explode until it hit a wall. Could it be made so it detonates quicker? I'm sure that the camera and tracking system would short out and ignite the explosives when hit with an electric current. The current itself would probably set off the explosives too. |

that would be cool, making the LG detonate G5 missles, i like that idea, should be implamented. |

That would be pretty cool. The only thing is, you can make a complete rocket-free area with just one person with a lightning gun, but it would still be fun.

well maybe it takes a couple seconds for the rocket to explode so some might just explode right in front of you. |

Yeah, that would work, methinks. It would be pretty cool to see a couple of rockets coming towards your team and suddenly the sky fills with lightning and detonated rockets. |

Wouldn't that make rocket launchers pretty much useless if a lighting gun is in the same map? |

i guess so.. maybe it could make it drunk, or suck it towards yourself

I was thinking that it might make ther rocket launcher useless with the LG too, but nonetheless, it would be pretty cool to see sometime.

That brings up an interesting idea! Why not make it so that sometimes when shot the rocket gyroscopically destabilises and comes twirling towards the player? The rockets in HL2 did that, and it was pretty neat. |

like in HL2, when those damn choppers shoot it down? i never had one come at me
interesting idea though, instead of simply exploding

maybe it could disable the G5 rocket, it would then fall and land on the ground (well it should) then if someone shoots it it could explode. |

That would be pretty darn cool. You know, I was thinking about how it would be kinda neat to use rockets as extra explosives that you could put some where to make a bigger explosion, although there really wouldn't be much point to it, considering that the explosions are pretty darn big already.

Maybe it could have it where the G5 would be sucked to you, but would explode if done with too much damage. Like a risk/reward system. Risk: Missile sucked to you Reward: Missile explodes after being shot too much, or just becomes undetonatable and falls to ground to disappear after 5 seconds, like BW weapons that are dropped. |

...well there isnt all that much range on the LG so its not going to make the rockets all that useless...not to mention not everyone will carry one or will be able to get it in time, so making the LG adversly affect rockets by detonation or destabalization would be very cool and very balanced more strategy and tactics is always a good thing |
