I just recently saw the movie Mission Impossible 3 and the turrets shown in the beginning gave me an idea. They were M249-like weapons mounted on tripods that shot the hell out of an enemy building. I think these would be a nice addition to Ballistic. Remote controlled sentry guns that could replace a super weapon. The player wouldn't have to worry about getting shot or be hindered by the weapon's weight and recoil and could provide ample defense in games like Invasion, Assault and Capture the Flag.
Alternativly, maybe the M353 and M925 and could be set up like this. The special function just props them up and gives them a camera.
Imagine running around a corner and meeting face to face with an automated M925 or watching as all the enemy's turrets get run over by a speeding Scorpian. :p

I've seen these type of weapons in lots of movies...

I think it would be a great weapon...very nice for "holding" or "defending" an area of a map. you can setup the weapon to cover your back or blind spot whilst you hold off the baddies...make for some interesting ctf (and others) matches...

This idea reminds me of the Laptop Rifle in Perfect Dark...
But really, deployables are quite common nowadays, Tribes had them, other UT mods like Chaos UT have them, etc. I'd like to see BW taking a more creative approach. How about AI-controlled drones, replacing the UT superweapons? If someone here is familiar with the WH40K universe, think of the Tau drones.
They would be quite easy to create, because they could use Invasion monster code. Left klick deploys a hover-drone that roams the area where it was deployed and fires upon every member of the enemy team who gets in range. Altfire could set it up to follow the player who activated it, providing covering fire. That way they could be used for defense and attack.

This totally reminds me of the sentry machine guns in Half Life 2. Those things were so awesome cause they shot out pulse rifle projectiles and they were powerful!

It would be cool if like the sentry guns (mentioned in my last post) for BW could fire at ANY enemy target in the area. The sentry gun shouldn't have a full 360 degrees field of fire maybe like 150 or 140!

Or 170°, almost half a circle but not quite enough. :)
