MH-12 MAGHOOK

a compressed air powered launcher with a magnetic head for addheasion to metalic surfaces and set of spring loaded hooks for attaching to rocks and trees etc.

i think the player should be able to dual weild this weapon with handguns and smg's (though controls may be tricky to figure out)

havnt figured out a back story for this yet but i have mad a crappy photoshop mock-up using an m4 carbine as the base.

with this you could deploy the magnetic head on to a raptor and use this for a rapid insertion or pick up. (u could even ski off the back of a scorpion or manta)

this could also be used for ambushes by dual weilding and using the maghook to get above doorways, in rafters, trees, knooks and crannys and patches of darkness above enemys.

this may also be used for repeling from buildings by firing near the edge and jumping off while holding a button to unspool cable.


just putting this in here for now but i will update when i come up with a decent story and button config for the weapon (it fires with such force that it could dish out about 20% damage and close-medium range with a drop in power over distance))[br][img width=800 height=510]../../files/public/1212927464_478_FT0_maghook_prototype_.jpg[/img][br]

Cool, although why does it need a fire mode selection?

I really liked the ability to drag corpses :d because with bloody hell you have those "innocent" drag marks. 8)

Yeah, I use ninja rope, which is a great mod, and performs basically the same role as the OP suggested. A little more compatibility with BW would be nice though.
