I think having an Ice based weapon would be an interesting twist to the FPS shooter genre. A weapon that can incapacitate lightly armoured enemies and hinder larger ones and vehicles. For this I'm thinking of an Ice Missile Launcher. Primary Fire would fire a large rocket with a blue-ish trail that travels at the speed of the current G5. The blast would look more crystalline than the current explosions and damage any opponents in the radius. A direct hit will result in the target getting frozen for a second or two; enough for the player to follow up with another. Secondary Fire would allow the player to charge up a missile and fire a more powerful version of primary with a large blast radius. The blast would move outward slowly, damaging and potentially freezing players who linger in it. The weapons special function would be a suicide bomb, detonating the weapon and it's payload in a massive blast of pain and suffering.
Gameplay would be like this: Player 1 picks up the Ice Missile Launcher and walks into an open area. Player 2 comes in and starts to electrify Player 1 with the HVC. Player 1 charges up a missile and freezes Player 2 and an advancing Player 3 before firing a secondary missile to shatter Player 2. Player 1 runs away to reload the weapon. Tell me what you think.

I like it. I'd just love to see how opponents would shatter! Maybe it could have a air-burst feature in it. Like you'd switch to the air-burst using the weapons fire mode key. |

If a ice missle explodes on a surface, make the surface slippery for some time

If I drew it I'd make it look somewhat like this. A large destructive cannon. [br][img width=600 height=450]../../files/public/1168990270_105_FT24775_fusion-large.jpg[/img]

What's that form again? That look's really cool for an ice cannon weapon!!! I'm gonna feel stupid if it was something obvious and I just can't recognize it right now... |

Quake 3 maybe? Did Quake 3 even have ice guns? |

Okay, at least I won't feel stupid if UP doesn't know either... |

I guessed in my head that it was UT99 with some mod... considering the year at least. |

While I made it look a bit like the Covenant Fuel Rod gun, it's supposed to be the Fusion Rocket Launcher from Red Faction. That thing was awsome. It shot a massive star that obliterated half the map. Literally due to the fact that the game's walls were destroyable.

Hah, the Fusion Rocket Launcher, a very powerful weapon. Isn't it going to be a problem firing ice missiles? What about a crystal launcher? Pretty similar looking but a lot more dense. |

Well, it wouldn't really be a missle made of ice. Just a rocket with a super-cooled payload. Something like liquid nitrogen or Poly-Fracticide, for example. |

![]() still want it though. the shattering part would have to be cool ![]() Any chance we'll see it soon? I'd hate to wait until 2007 comes out mid-summer/fall for new weapons.
