Something that is... well completely pointless, the ability to wipe blood off you knife with alternate fire or something like that. Could be quite fun... but like I said completely pointless.
Also, I noticed quite a good idea from the "ChaosUT" mod, when you use a melee weapon, it went to third person view which I thought was quite effective. Granted you could just use "behindview 1" but it would be nice to not have to bring up the console.

Well, I have yet to kill anyone with the alt-fire of the knife, so I wouldn't mind backing the first idea.

That is very true, but most of the time you can find a gun can't you ^^
Nevertheless, I don't think we should CHANGE the alt fire, but perhaps get a different knife that you could wipe blood off. Perhaps it might be better in Junk, I mean, you could get a meat cleaver or something.

it'd be kinda neat say when you kill someone with the knife or Katana that at first its all shiny but once you start hitting people blood (all types of it) covers the blades, could be cool with JW too.

Same for guns, shooting up close sprays blood all over the gun. :D

yum... blood !lol the Shotgun would end up with so much blood on it, it would end up looking like a big red rectange

. . .You people are psychotic. Personally I don't really car whether m,y knife gets all bloody after I kill someone, but if blood on melee weapons ever become a BW feature, wiping it off with the "cock weapon" key would be fine, and wouldn't incinveniece any current features, as none of the current melee weapons need reloaded.

Edit: Behindview is useless. All it does is obscure your target. So while you're aiming at my feet so that you can actually see me over yourself, I've just dispatched you with a single knife blow to the head from first person. Have a nice day.

NO NO NO Carsomyr, you have to think in terms of psycho's... That makes the game so much more fun, I mean, a) why else would you get UT2K4 I mean, it's basically futuristic gladiatorial combat, and b) why else would you download Junk wars?!?!?! Hello!!! you hit each other with blunt and pointy objects!!!!
On the blood side of things, blood on stuff is exactly what I'm talking about, it would be such a neat feature... But the cocking weapon idea is brilliant. That shouldn't be removed, I mean, so far I've only been able to play against Bots, but I just love coming up to Xan and then cocking the pistol before I gat him in the face, gangsta style!
But maybe thats just me ^^
Also, blood splattering the screen!!!! that would be fun. Also, some levels have water in them and this is going way too far, but wouldn't it be cool if you could WASH blood off your weapons!!!!
I just like very realistic unrealistic games. ^^

Blood splattering the screen is too much in my opinion, blood decals attaching to weapons is enough.

hee hee, I thought I said it was too much... oh wait, that was the water bit. When I'm older, I so want to create a completely relastic shooter. ^^

Gameplay and 100% realism is a bad combo.

Author:  macintosh [ Mon Jul 31, 2006 11:33 am ]
Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

I suppose that's how you make serial killers, but sometimes, in a game I just want to go so realistic that it's... unreal. It sounds strange, but thats how my mind sometimes works. heh.

Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

The closest you can get to realism in a FPS right now, is SWAT4. But that game is very different from the usual FPSs we know.

Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

The only highly realistic shooter I've ever really gotten into is Red Orchestra. An that's mostly because of how it makes things flow. It makes it VERY realistic without making gameplay choppy.

BW doesn't want or need that much realism.

Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

I love Red Orchestra, brilliant game play, I prefer it to DoD... Surprisingly...
Anyway, back on topic, what's with everyone having the same arms in BW. I suggest that in the very last update, we get either BW characters or a bit more variety in arms ^^

But SW Republic Commando had it and it was cool.

yeah thats true, that game was way under rated...

StarWars isn't for everyone.

yeah its too good for you damn Trekkies.

ha ha, I like both... to an extent.

I think both StarTrek and StarWars suck, although ST is somewhat less silly.

Author:  macintosh [ Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:10 pm ]
Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

You being serious? Star trek is less silly than star wars??? Look at all the franchise SW got compared to ST and "Set phasers to stun!" WTF was all taht about? lol
Did everyone dismiss the 3rd person idea? I mean, I don't actually like behindview 1 but CUT pulled it off better than normal some how...

Author:  Mr.UglyPants [ Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:11 pm ]
Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

ST sucks a ton of month old horse crap.

it would be great to see if you threw the knife and it hit someones head and the announcer said "OMG HEADSHOT!" and you'd see the knife in the dudes head.

Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

XIII style? Get a little cutscene in the top right corner. They did that effect really well. I was surprised in UT99 that you could actually get headshots with the ripper... now there is a classic example of an awful, yet origional idea.

To put things short: If you like scifi fantasy, you will love SW; if you like realistic scifi, you'll love ST.

As for the 3rd person, I have nothing against it, but you can already download Aerial View or simply type behindview 1 in the console and press enter.

Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

Like I said, those are okay, but some how they weren't as refined as CUT... maybe its because they only did it with melee weapons... good idea if you asked me, very much like unreal championship 2

Author:  Mr.UglyPants [ Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:36 pm ]
Post subject:  Pointless knife idea and perhaps a not so pointless idea.

yeah Aerial View works very well with BW, use t all the time in DM-BlackHawk.

You will need to describe better how you want the 3rd person to be, because the only one that can read your mind is you. :)

well, I think it's because it sort of disabled the axis that made it go up and down... thats what the BIG let down of those sorts of mutators is... The mouse is too crazy, if you can somehow calm it down a bit, it makes using melee weapons a little more fun.

For mouse crazy thing i dont know what your talking about its fine to me but go to mouse sensitivity at options and bind "behind veiw 1" to a key problem solved i love playing in first person with melee weapons so some people dont want the change or just press F4 and it will five you a different view also not the same but if you want 3rd person there is your thrid person
