Another crazy weapon idea... I'll try to keep it as short as possible... DESCRIPTION: A Skrith "Tactical Compound Bow" - A weapon best-suited for outdoor and stealth combat. Primary Fire: Shoots the arrow/s currently on the wielder's hand. Holding it down increases the arrows' velocity and accuracy. Iron-sights gives the wielder instant-accuracy, enabling him/her to fire arrows in a arc, without having to hold down the primary fire for accuracy. Once a single arrow or volley of arrows are fired, the wielder must press the Reload key to re-equip him/her with new ones... Reload: As mentioned above, re-equips the wielder with fresh arrows from the inventory to his/her person. Take note that wielder can load up to 4 arrows to fire, and once s/he presses Reload again while there are 4 arrows in his/her hand, it goes back to 1. Arrow Capacity: The wielder can only have 40 arrows in his/her inventory, and each Ammo Pack adds 8 arrows. Fire-Modes: This weapon has MULTIPLE fire-modes. See page 3 for details. Secondary Fire: Swings the bow around, enabling it to slash nearby targets with its attached blades. SPECIAL FIRE: Orients how you hold the bow: Horizontally, Vertically, or Diagonally. This affects how you fire multiple arrows. So, whacha guys thunk it...? |

I like the idea of a bow, but I'm not sure how it'd fit in Ballistic Weapons. |

RS just has to make it look as modern as possible... |

That's true. I'm sure they could figure something like that out. |

toss out the concept of longbow completely and make it a compound bow...those are the modern bows of today, to take it further one could model the bow used by whistler in blade 3 |

I'll take any Compound Bow design made by RW... as long as it suits BW. |

this culd barely fit BW, possibly JW but not BW. |

Not JW at all, but possibly BW if it is made in a futuristic way. |

Hey as long as it's a cool weapon, who cares? As I mentioned before, U4E for UT99 had an absolutely WICKED SICK long/compound bow with multiple ammo types: regular, explosive, plasma, incendiary, poison & nuclear. It may sound like overkill, but it actually worked really well... Oh and speaking of nuclear... I may actually sponsor a triple (?) firemode radiation grenade at some point. You have been warned!

I think a tactical bow more like this would fit BW better than a longbow. This is the type I'm aiming for sponsoring. Anybody recognise the game?  [br][img width=640 height=238]../../files/public/1157907347_105_FT13611_c1a2b0001.jpg[/img]

Close, it's Half Life 1. That's one of the Office Complex levels. |

Looking forward to that grenade. Heck, we're going to have loads of weapons if we all have the money to back up the things we want to see made. Anyhow. . .I think a longbow wouldn't be a BAD idea. . .might be kinda hard to work into the military atmosphere of BW, you can't just explain aay everything non-military as some kind of random collectors item scrounged up for battlefield use. Here's an idea, though. Make it a skrith weapon designed for operation inside energy dampening fields the humans set up to prevent use of skrith energy weapons. |

HalfLife is only 8 years old... |

Yeah, really. It always looked like that. Just because it's on the Quake 2 engine don't mean it has to look like something my video card threw up after binge drinking. |

Meh... I must've had really bad graphics settings when I used to play that game... =__=U |

When I first played HalfLife, I didn't even know what a video card was. 
One has come a long way in 8 years... |

let's get back to the longbow thing. personally i think a longbow wouldn't fit in BW, but anyways the crossbow will. why? because its easy to aim (like a rifle), the shots are more deadly (the arrows are faster and have more mass), and if anyone has played Half-Life 2 then he will understand what i mean if i say the crossbow fits more to the modern world then a longbow. so actually Sgt. Kelly's idea is the best i think. So let the scoped crossbow come.

Nope.
I use custom models. They're really pretty in game. I sent Bjossi a link to a site with some stuff but it didn't seem to work for him.  It's [url=hyperlink url]http://hl-improvement.com/[/url].

I was thinking that looked too detailed for the original Half Life... Still, I like it. It's an awesome looking crossbow. Much better than that strange uranium-rod tosser in Half Life 2 (IMO).... |

It's not uranium. It's chunks of rebar. Steel bards made to reinforce concrete that they're embedded in. They glow becasue the xbow runs an electrical charge through it, heating it up. |

Whatever it was, it was glowing and looked very unsafe :-/ |

What makes you think Uranium glows? As far as my knowledge goes, there are Beta, Alpha, Neutron and Proton-radiation, and none of those make stuff glow afaik. |

Skrith and bow weapons just don't fit together in my mind... |

Yay! Skrith bow! *Carsomyr leaps about in glee. |
