Title: drop weapon
Post by: vcxzet on July 18, 2006, 01:13:33 am

droppable weaponswould be cool. for ex You buy a weapon for your team mate and drop it so he takes. Moreover you can drop weapons to some strategic locations for later use (maybe this is too much)
and for the aliens droppable evo points! (a small egg :P)

why would you drop your weapon when you buy a new one unless you already have 2k creds? but they should drop when you die...

I can imagine a tyrant picking up and trying to use a chaingun

:D yeah.. aliens that can pick up guns and camp just as hard as the humans! Teach them!

Drop i don't think would hurt anything really.. its your credits.. if you want to buy a gun for someone who didn't earn it.. i don't see the problem.

I don't think weapons dropping when you die is a good idea though.. i think that would help humans out too much when they run into a new area, if they could get easy ammo that way. That is.. unless aliens can pick up ammo to!

Definitely not drop on death - that would be absurdly unbalancing as once you were halfway through humans wouldnt have to buy weapons ever, and the alien base would end up littered with lucy cannons lying around.


Dropping weapons manually? Hmm not too sure tbh - there are pros and cons, but the short arguement to it is, If it aint broke, dont fix it.

lol, unless you make evolves droppable :D Dretch turns into the dead tyrant and beats the humans with it.

Though a drop weapon/donate evolve point option would be kinda cool. As it would add to the teamwork factor.

How about both the aliens and the humans drop stuff and players can go over to pick it up for some extra evolve points or cash regardless of which team its from. That way you'll have greedy bastards who run around and loot things like in a MMORPG and occasionally find themselves in an ambush.

Think of the funny scenarios that could result! Two humans kill a dretch. One runs back to base because he's low on ammo and the other one thinks "oooo free 20 credits!". Comes up to the dead dretch and gets jumped by three other dretches hiding in the corner. Hehe.

We do not need an RPG in this game.  The humans already have the Lucifer cannon, they do not need some stinking Rocket Propelled Grenade Terrist weapon!  What is this?  F*@$#%ing Quake?
