some weapon ideas
« on: May 15, 2012, 11:27:02 pm »
I think it would be a good idea to have a sort of plasma gun, not like halo, but more like the lucifer cannon, tap it to fire normal bursts, hold it to charge and fire a blast that explodes on contact spraying more plzma across a splash zone.
Or give humans the ability to build low barriers for cover and such.

Finally, i think someone should create somethink of a remote controlled combat drone for the humans, enabling them to scout out enemy bases without having to leave cover, whether it be rolling or airborne.

Tremulous does not need a BFG, the stuff that is there is fine and plenty to balance as is. The flamethrower and Lucifer cannon already do what you want.

The low barriers would not add anything to gameplay IMHO and they'd be conductive of camping. If you must wall something off you can always throw down an armory. You can even build forward turrets, which allow for aggressive builders. Aggressive gameplay is generally more fun than defensive gameplay.

Remote controlled drones and guns have been discussed many times over the years, it just means someone is sitting around in base out of the fight. That increase the boredom factor. Not to mention the problems with coding them.
