A UT99 classic that would be absolutely perfect for BW because of the realism, fun & tactical possibilities. The name pretty much speaks for itself, but for good measure: when fired upon ammo pickups explode, each in its own unique, deadly way. Clips and ammo boxes spray bullets everywhere, mines and grenades send shrapnel flying, rockets might fly off and kill innocent bystanders, Skrith energy cells light up the sky with plasma bolts etc. etc. Mad fun for all the family! !lol

And yes, obviously this would be an option, not a fixed feature...

Definately worth the trouble to create that possibility!

That would be awsome,that was one of my top 5 favorite mutators for UT99.It would be realy cool to see someone shoot the ammo of something like the sniper rifle,instant headshot for the people next to it! :D

I always played UT with explosive ammo on. I'd love to see this in Ballistic.
I wonder what would happen if one of those ammo bags got shot! :D

I think the railgun ammo pickup should give an extremely vast & powerful explosion; since each round packs a lot of punch. :O

Afaik the railgun's ammo pickups are just solid metal projectiles in a clip. The power source is in the backpack. So ironically this would be the only ammo type that doesn't explode when hit! !lol

BUT, it sure would be fun if you had exploding railgun backpacks! Deal a certain amount of damage to the pack and BLAM!!!, it completely vaporizes the railgunner and whoever's standing next to him. Wasn't there something like this planned for the flamethrower, btw? That would be pretty cool as well...

I guess that is true, I always thought the backpack was a part of the pickup for some strange reason. !dodge

railpack explosive?? i dunno if it would in real life.. its basically a bunch of capacitors, and some power source of some kind.. :) the ammo is actually like standard bullets.. enough powder to push them through the rails at the time of the power surge!

An explosive Flamethrower sounds like a bad idea, no one would use it because they are afraid one of the hundreds of bullets will land on the fuel tank...

use the double plated something or other Deus Ex has in its flame thrower discrption

Isn't there one of those nuclear symbols on the backpack? You'd need a seriously badass power source to shoot projectiles at or near the speed of light, and I'm guessing anything that contains that much energy in such a small space would blow up pretty good when damaged! !lol Besides, big explosions are cool and not everything has to be 100% realistic... ;)

The tank would have its own 'health', and would have to take, say, 100 damage before exploding. So unless it's already severely damage it won't blow up from a stray XK bullet or whatever. I'm guessing the flamethrower will be a very powerful and spammy weapon, so the exploding fuel tank thing would balance this a bit. Also it's simply realistic and fun to take out an enemy team by shooting their flamer guy, people used to do that all the time in WW I etc. 8)

They never perfected the use of Flamthrowers in WW1 they only got it working very well in WW2, the Allies in WW2 put flamthrowers in the Sherman tanks to fight the Japanese in the pacific theater!

*i know way to much abot WWII*

WOW, I cant even think of something more devestating..........So all the railgun shots would be unleashed.......wich can go through walls...............wich would hit other ammo.......wich would cause a giant chain reaction.............So theoreticly"don't think I spelled that right" if you were in a small enough map............it could instantly kill every one :O !!

sure... you keep thinking that!

As pointed out, the backpack of the railgun should rather cause this explosion I spoke of earlier. :)

ok ok.. maybe it could make a small something :)

and our flamer will be vulnerable to explosion.. tho there might b some time b4 it actualy xplodes.. maybe catch fire first.. then go off a bit later :)

Maybe give it some health at first, like a shield that can take some beating before the gun goes on fire prior to exploding.
