I think you're starting to slide away from the original, BALLISTIC concept of...Ballistics. =|

But that's just me.

hey hey..

not really... crossbow is tactical, sniping weapon.. possibly with interesting properties..

fire axe is simply another melee weapon..

I think a flail would be funnier than an axe, assuming the (3rd person) anims can be done somewhat realistically... B)

Re the crossbow... if you could nail people to walls or even each other (while still alive!), now that would be interesting! The 'pinning' effect would last long enough for you to load up & fire an incendiary or poison gas arrow, if you catch my drift... :evil:

Or how about a radioactive arrow that sticks in players and terrain, and creates a deadly radiation field that lasts for ~7 seconds and drains health fast?
Shoot one of those into a group of enemy bots, and chances are he'll kill one or two of his teammates for you as he runs around all glowing 'n' stuff in a ball of radiation. Could also be used to clear out vehicles without damaging them too much, just like neutron bombs supposedly could be used to capture cities largely intact by killing the inhabitants with radiation.

Morter, would you like it better if the Axe blade was made of crystal and sharpened with a high latency laser? ;)

What about a high tech nailgun for that job? ;)

Howsabout somewhat feasible, if not, currently existing guns?

Versions 1 through 1.7 seem to be doing a good job of that.

How necessary is a fire axe? XD

BW doesn't need a Fire Axe or Crossbow they would defeat the entire purpose of the mod!

unless the crossbow shot energy than maybe it would be cool but the fire axe WTF would it do? Is it just a axe on fire?

Post subject:  Crossbow? FIRE AXE?
I doubt the fire part is meant like we think, it is probably just an axe that you swing.

We could make the axe have ionized uranium caspules inside the axe to form a supercharged electroshock when you hit an opponent.

u really dont like the firaxe hey?? i mean.. wouldnt it be fun to swing a big red axe at people? maybe we can give it some interesting properties..

I want a flail, lol. :lol: Though I'm guessing it would be hell to animate! :S

Personally I don't have anything against the axe, btw. Smacking people with axes is cool 'n' all, but it would be nice to have a melee weapon that does more than just slash (we already have the knife, katana & skrith gloves for that).

How about a stun baton ( http://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/batons.htm ), for example? Prim swings the baton & beats people to a bloody pulp, and alt pokes & zaps them with electric shocks. Favored by cops the world over!

Or the exploding mace I mentioned once upon a time...

Or a telescoping spear like the Predators use. Can be used for both medium-range stabbing and throwing (perhaps it pins players to walls and such, just like in the movies).

Or simply a good old fashioned baseball bat... :)

But then it isn't a crossbow.

Then it's a weapon that shoots green plasma on crossbow bolts, is called a crossbow, but isn't a crossbow in actuality.

Plus, green plasma doesn't exist as far as I know. Plasma is always yellow- or red-ish if I remember correctly. :S

At least make it an energy charge with 55 nm wave-length to at least make it unreal rather than silly.
:S

hmm.. flail starting to sound better!! so is the crossbow, we can give it some wierd effects!

The stun stick is on the list.. the Tazer its called!:)

You could add the tazer as the alt. fire of the UTC Energy Pistol.

WE could have a atun stick like the Combine Police have in Half Life 2. Ill try to take a pic.

That is not a bad idea, but I don't feel like it is Ballistic if we take ideas from other games. At least change it heavily in design and function.
