The Skraaj Weapons are nice. I'm thinking of a more human approch. Something similar to the starwars style of guns, with a differnt style of flare. The idea is to have a bit more veriety. Allow the lazers to have armor penatration, or to hit like its not there. This could be used against targets with body armor, or vehicles to bring them down faster, where as it's generally seen as weaker against the standard non armored target. The damage would be 6-8ish heal per hit with the smaller gun, and 12-16 damage per armor, where as the larger gun would be obviously more. Laser Gun (side arm) A small futuristic looking gun, with either a rechargeable (over time) clip, or a 12 clip energy mag. It could be used akimbo. It would have a similar rate of fire of the current hand gun. Primary Fire: 1 laser blast, low damage, extreamly accurate Secondary Fire: Recharge's Ammo, or Fire's a blast that leaves a small fiery burn (Burns away armor) Blaster (primary/secondary) A Rifle, that fires full auto lazer blasts. It's known for armor penatration, and is very accurate. Primary Fire: Full Auto Lazer Blasts Secondary Fire: Limited Mag Scope w/Full Auto The other thing i have been really wanting to play with is a gundam style missle launcher for ground troops. Missle Launcer A missle launcher that fires missles that can split into multiple warheads. It can only carry one missle per reload. Each missle would do the same damage as a normal missle, though it would be divided amongst the amount of warheads fired. If there are 8 warheads Primary Fire: Fires a missle with multiple warheads that split a few seconds after the missle is launched (generally spreading fairly close) When the warheads hit, they have a wide explosion that covers a large area, but does not instant kill everyone. Secondary Fire: Launches the missle up in the air, much like your missle launcher, and sprays the ground with multiple warheads. Missle Launcher V2 Primary Fire: Fires 8 small sidewinder rockets at once, Each hitting for low damage (each hits for 1/8 of a normal missle) Secondary Fire: Fires each missle seperatly |

There is an UTC Energy Pistol planned, but probably not for the next big release, version 2.0. But I'm a big fan of energy weapons so I hope to see at least one new weapon like that. About the missile launcher, it would be pretty neat, a rocket that explodes into multiple small grenades. This would be really devastating if used properly. Oh, and welcome to the forums.

i suggest taking a look at the cluster redeemer mod and maybe pulling that idea, large rocket that has an initial explosion and throws out grenades...and if you wanted to do the airburst thing then you could have it user guided as the redeemer is....a good twist on this would be to code it so that the burst fires most or all of the grenades in a downward cone |

That cluster Redeemer mod was crazy, it made my old 1.2 Ghz AMD Athlon look like a panzy in early 2003.

The energy pistol will go in at the end right? I really hope so!

we will probably release a version with just some new weapons.. 5-6.. then another big version with all the gore, physics, more weapons and so on.. vehicles will probably be seperate, and so will maps.. gametypes are somewhere on the list as well.. slowly slooging along.. |

You mean there will be a 1.9 release with new weapons before the massive 2.0 release? *drools* |

I played the cluster redeemer on the original UT. That wasn't exactly what i was getting at. Clustered redeemer is slightly unbalanced..... I was thinking more of multiple smaller damage missles, like the apache hellicopter shoots. Gundam style, where you perhaps could spray a fairly large area. |

You mean something like the cluster rocket launcher from one of the Quake expansion packs? It fires many small rockets that spread, and they cause each, smaller damage that one big rocket. |

Yea, Non guided rockets, something as an alternative to the RPG, which is powerfull, has a tracking device, and pretty much can hit anything in sight. This would allow for a more effective anti tank method, have the ability to spread an area which would be very effective against jumpers/sprinters, and just would be allot more fun, if your in a ONS match, or VCTF where there is a battle field and you have a few hundred missles flying overhead. Give it a quick reload, like a missle pack, or something of that nature, where as the RPG has to have eatch individual rocket loaded up. This would be fairly quick, around the reload of the skraaj energy rifle. |

I hope you mean Skirth energy rifle! Sounds like a cool gun! |

i dunno about cluster missile weapons yet.. have a fun time trying to figure out an infantry version. weak ass rockets or whatever.. maybe we can figure it into a small rocket launcher..

Sounds more like a vehicle weapon to me, like one of the armoured cars from BF2: Primary is a small anti-vehicle cannon, secondary arcs a missile (like the mortar fire of the G5) to airburst above the target |

You guys still have a lighter rocket launcher planned? That'd be great.

yeah,, somwhere on our *list* is a lighter RL |

How long is the list? You make 8 or 9 weapons sound like a little.

What about cutting muscle tissue, major nerves, etc. Not to mention that pain from laser burns is EXTREMELY painful. The only disadvantage of a laser wound versus a bullet wound is the lack of bleeding, which takes too long to make much diffference in BW anyways, except for majotrarteries. |

that UTC pistol might well be done somewhere down the line.. maybe if not hard 2 code..

- Shyke, military weaponry. Yes, but they could categorize plasma guns as energy weapons. And plasma not only burns you badly with it's millions of celsius degrees heat, but kills you pretty decently as well.

GOT IT!! missle launcher and UTC pistol are simple weapons!! as for the laser cauterising theory.. wouldnt a hug hole through your body cause damage.. and cauterising isnt the most painless of processes

i wouldn't bother with making the whole shoot someone with a laser than they have a hole in their gut, maybe just leave that for UT2k7. |
