Do the Mass Driver needs a Sniperscope?
« on: November 12, 2006, 09:02:23 pm »
Just wondering if a sniperscope would be fine for the md but i don't know... but it would be a nice gimmick for me.I play mostly with the md and it's just weird that a human can look 20-30 meters far without a scope.

Hm. You know, I never noticed that the MD model doesn't have a scope on it.

Not really something that needs to be fixed right away, but it seems to me that one should be added to the model.
Stop it. Seriously.

Also noticed that zoom is the only bind that can only be used with on weapon, no classes.
Not even advanced dragoon has a zoom.
Only the mass driver.

Take that weird thing on the side of the shotgun, and slap it on the mass driver with a new color. Prolem solved. But make it so you can only see it when you sprint, slightly.

Thats the ammo clip :D

The reason why you can't see the scope is because its a tiny gravity lense, which is also why the aliens aren't really at the place you're aiming at most of the time :D

Yes, adding a scope to the Mass Driver is seriously the biggest thing Tremulous needs, everybody stop coding and add it right away.

NOT!

That, sir, was absolutely pointless.

let's say it this way.

i'd have the scope if i could, though i'd go for the gravity lens thingy.
BUT! the gravity lens sounds awfully high- tech, much more high tech than the rest of the hummie equips.

so it wouldnt really fit.

what we are saying is that if the mods have time, they CAN do it. We are not saying they MUST. It's just an option.
Now stop putting random posts about you argument and if you have something to argue about, write it in a non-pointless way.

The gravity lense idea was me just being scientifically sarcastic, as it comes up for the reason why aliens are never where they are supposed to be when you pull the trigger :D

If I understand correctly, this whole thread is about a change to the appearance of the weapon, not even its functionality. If you want a new model for it, make one or find someone else who will. If it looks good, it might even be used for the next version.
