I like that idea, it seems strange that you can run fast while carrying immense amount of weapons don't you think?

What about having the players move slowe if they carry more/heavier stuff? And what about changing loadout so that you can choose if you want 1 sidearm and 2 bigger guns or the other way round? (maybe even 3 sidearms and no bigger gun). And add an option to take less weapons with you when using loadout. This would have the impact, that you can choose to take light equipment and then go for the enemy flag, or take more/heavier stuff and defend. |

so your saying the more weapons you pick up the slower you move or do i have it wrong? If so thats pretty dumb, but if you want it i won't stand in your way... just make it optional. |

I oppose this idea. Carrying lots of weapons happens al the time, even when you aren't trying to hoard lots of weapons. Slowing people down would just detract form the VERY GOOD THING that BW allows much more tactical gameplay in UT without getting rid of the frantic lapeing and dodging about. Slowing people down would be a severe detriment to the game. But I'm with Ugly. If you want it, fine, jjust don't make all of us play according to your whims. Optional is good. |

Then what about using the same system as FEAR, you can only carry 2 heavy weapons + melee & siderarm at a time? Or make both this and the thread starter's idea, but mak'em optional. |

I mean you should still be able to move fast, but only without all the heavy weapons so you could kind of specialize on beeing a flagrunner by keeping only the sidearms with you for example. This sort of spezialisation would be supported by not picking up everything you touch automatically and by the option to choose between sidearms and heavier weapons or no weapon in the loadout menu. And that is primaily meant for loadout anyway. |

hmm.. currently the larger weapons do make u move a bit slower.. its been there since v1.50.. and a different loadout, where u can choose diff weaps like that is a possible inclusion somewhere down the line.. we only recently thought of something like this

Wow, I had never noticed that you move slower! Perhaps you could make it slightly more visible in the next version?

Hey, I don't think they like being called stupid. I think correct term is 'Void of cognitive thinking'.

But only if they are selected. Think of what happens if you implement that feature: You no longer would try to just get as many weapons as possible. Instead you would try to get exactly the ones you need, no more no less. Especially with loadout i think this would be intresting as it already has that kind of gameplay in it. |

No, i mean'y you can't cross the any map (i mostly play on DM-Trident) with the Machine guns getting crazy arse killing sprees since you move slower with them than before. *another sigh* |

That is my point. The bots are stupid enough already, no need to make it easier killing them by allowing you to run fast. |

Yes, we intend all that kind of stuff... We'll have a buying mut where you have a grid of 'space' and you stick in whatever fits (if you can afford it), lots of sidearms and grenades or one BIG gun... Also this might come with features like your whole inventory affecting your speed and inventory being visible on your player's back... |

Don't forget to take ammo size and weight into account, especially for the rocketlauncher. |

Ooo. . .sounds like a pleasant mix of Counter-Strike and Deus Ex. I'm looking forward to it. Deus Ex had VERY un multiplayer. Not everyone agrees with me on that one, though. Definetly worth at least trying, though, in my opinion. |
