This post was giving trouble, so I had to delete it. Here it is again, orginally posted by Redshift:

If the Beretta 9mms can't be added, or at least not anytime soon, this would be the next best thing.

The current .45 is an OK gun, but it's not an AWESOME gun like the magnum will no doubt be. Here are some suggestions to make it more interesting:

-Better accuracy (afaik this is a given, but I'll mention it anyway).

-Add a compensator / muzzle weight! Not only is it a huge cosmetic enhancement, but it would also explain the gun's increased accuracy. See pic below for how it could look.

-Make the gun more black-ish than grey/green-ish. Personally I love stainless slides, but I guess that would be too much for some folks... !mistrust

-Greater mag capacity, say 14 instead of 12. This is well within realism limits. You could even extend the mag a bit (which incidentally looks pretty cool!) and add another 2 rounds, for 16 total. But 14 would be fine too.

-A burst that's actually a (single) burst, not just 3 faster shots. Busts should have plenty of muzzle flash and appropriate sound fx. Also they should be accurate enough to be of practical use. Again, see the Underworld movie for reference (if you can find, obviously...)

(sorry RedShift, but it didn't like you images either, please try and insert them again!)

Hm, so this one did get through after al...and it messed up the forum somehow?? Weird! :? Afaik the only thing different about it is that I posted it using the Opera browser instead of my usual IE. And the pic was just a regular JPEG. I'll repost it, see what happens.

Wot, no one wants to pimp the .45? :? Come on now, doesn't that USP Match look mighty sweet? Now imagine shooting 2 of those akimbo style. Improved accuracy, 14 rounds in the mag, genuine burst capability... now that's the ticket! 8)

I think Lara looks better, but that's just me. :P

But yes, that pistol would be a really nice addition to the Ballistic arsenal. :)

A 9mm would be the little brother of the .357/.44 Magnum. :P

I want a machine pistol (full auto) not something with a burst, (i'm aware of the uzi but i mean something more like the glock 18)

Post subject:  Pimping the 45 pistol
I think you'll be able to toggle between burst and auto like with the current machineguns.

I'm hell sure you will be able to!

Post subject:  Pimping the 45 pistol
yeah.. the UZI's will probably have fire-modes like all other.. dual wield, some sorta auto tracker to make each gun fire at different targets.. more weapons coming along :)

Post subject:  Pimping the 45 pistol
The auto-tracker idea sounds like a brand new idea for akimbo weapons. If you guys decide to code that in, I bet it will be great fun. :D

That sounds very interesting...it would be a pain to code, especially if you balance it with decreased accaracy or kickback. Curious to see how you would normally target with them. It would be cool to walk down a corrodor with doors on each side, and have the guns pointed in each differnt direction shooting anything in the rooms....though yea, that might be slightly unfair....

Auto tracking might be neccesary though, manually pointing each gun can be extremely tough. You'd need two brains and two mice to successfully shoot and control both guns in a firefight.

Post subject:  Pimping the 45 pistol
Auto tracking sounds pretty cool, but in some cases oldskool aiming (one fixed crosshair for both guns) can be more effective. One possible solution would be to switch back & forth between aiming modes with the Special key.

Post subject:  Pimping the 45 pistol
just keep it old school aiming (as redshift just said) but leave the special key for some special ablity and have the fire amount (burst fire, automatic, semi-automatic etc) button to fire both guns at the same time and a another aditition to it would be to fire the opposite gun and second time you press the prim fire!

ex: Gun A and Gun B

you press prim fire and Gun A shoots once than press pirm fire again and Gun B shoots repeat until guns need to be reloaded!

Post subject:  Pimping the 45 pistol
Yeah, it would be nice if you could also switch between synchronized and alternating fire. You should definitely be able to do both...

i'm pretty sure thats almost exaclty what i just said!

I like how FEAR handled akimbo guns. When you clicked fire it fired the two guns randomly but had an invisible ammo count for each gun so neither fired past it's *capacity*. (It still had an overall ammo count so you knew when to reload your weapon.)

Post subject:  Pimping the 45 pistol
we'll figure out tracking nicely.. it has to be cool above all else.. and somewhat fair.. :)

I thought they fired visa versa; first the left, then the right, again the left, again the right, etc.

Bumping threads is something you should only do if there is a reason.
