i do not think most people complain about the range, it is actually fine, now, but more pellets/increased pellet damage would really help it, and make it more useful.

@thunderstorm

Depends on the size of the buckshot, for example, a 12 gauge 00 shell has only 9 large pellets.

Need's to shoot incendiary/phosphorus buckshot.

Needs more pellets.

Agreed, it's actually luck of the draw with the spread cone.

I have seen a lot of people going on about " 0Mg dah shotgun has too much range!!!!! Someone killed me from 18 blocks with a shotgun!!"

They obviously have never even held a shotgun IRL, They must have came from halo or COD, where shotguns are useless more then 5 feet away. In real life, shotgun with heavy buckshot and full choke could kill something from 30-45 yards perfectly fine. Maybe even further.

Now, they have a point when people kill you at max render range with the shotgun, but still, I wish people would shut up about mid range shotgun kills.

This thread again.

@TOPO

... Please don't revive dead threads. If the thread's last post is a week or so old, please don't revive it.

why would you bump this?

hi people , in these years commandoes carry weapon, sidearm, combat knife, grenades or tactical grenades

so make it something like 25 blocks, and then the bullet drops untill ~33 blocks?

Ok, in reply to the OP

>75 block range

Master Paradox has found that AoS stops rendering at ~78 blocks. Sooooooo....

@ anaconda.
what do you mean pistols should have no recoil. that just be EXTREMELY stupid because the guy would keep tapping the mouse and also due to the fact that ALL real life weapons have recoil

I don't see the point of pistols in AoS. It's not like the rifle has restricted movement in confined spaces (like it would in real life), and that's really the whole point of a short-barreled weapon. If the pistols were implemented with any realism, they'd just end up being like lame versions of the rifles.

Actually, I'm kind of curious as to why this was even necromanced in the first place. I thought this idea had died down.

People do bring "side arms" into battle. Usually strapped into a pocket of their tactical vest. They don't really use it though, but its there is case they do need it.

all of Russia approves of this idea...

@Boom, I already made some. Just searchbar my thread

Yes! This would be great for mid-range smg fights!

And here I thought this thread was new.

id like it if someone made a akimbo pistols if possible tht wood be cool

Call of duty has griefers though, ever heard of team killing?
Battlefield has it worst if they just want the chopper, they kill you take the chopper, and because they suck at flying they crash it within a few seconds and the guy riding with them is all fuck you.

what the hell? did this really need necrobumped TWICE?

...Ace of Spades dont looks like CoD at all.
Why is that :

1. Destructable Stuff...

2.Griefers

3.Has a spade and a Pick.

4.Hasn't the greatest ghrapics (voxelstein is better)

5.Granades blow in hand.

6.Griefers

In all ..pistols would be nice ( SKINS!!!)

Oh yeah, and please, for the love of all that is good and holy, never add an SMG to Ace of Spades. I'm seriously opposed to the idea... the game would spawn spray-and-pray COD kiddies, and at the short fog distance, we really don't want that.

@Sgt.Newman: No, they don't. I recommend you check out a history book. Sidearms are generally only issued to officers, and possibly NCOs.

Pistols aren't a completely bad idea. The number one warning I would give to Ben is this: No more than three typs of guns. Ever. For any reason.

Of course, if we DO get pistols, the choice should be rifle OR pistol. Not rifle AND pistol. Plus, pistols need to be carefully implemented for best balance. The game right now is really well-balanced through sheer simplicity: everyone has the same weapons, everyone has an equal chance. The only deciding factors are skill and luck. Maintaining balance will get a lot harder if new guns are added.

For starters, it might simplest to give players a choice between rifle and grenades or pistol by itself. The pistol would be better in bunkers because of its close-range advantages, and the fact that its shorter barrel wouldn't show around corners (although I'm sure some cheaters would modify that. A length-limit might need to be implemented). On the other hand, grenades are also very useful in bunkers, and the pistol-user wouldn't have any. This could set up an interesting mechanic for bunker-crawls between pistol-users and rifle-users... or it might just suck.

I definitely think pistols should be tried, at least. If they have to be removed in a later update, then so be it, but a chance to see what they do to AoS could be interesting.

I really think pistols are a bad idea waiting to happen,

I rather simply have enemies drop their remaining ammo/grenades upon death.

what if the next cod includes everything in existance?
"oh, you can't make games anymore, all new games are COD clones"
thats the most retarded argument i've ever seen.

I approve pistols, but they should do 10-20 damage... and 40 damage if hits the head

@Zak the cool dawg.

True too all of that. Things like a shotgun or a submachine gun, unless it is extremely similar to CoD, is not like that. the link I put up was a link to a weapons forum. Place your ideas there folks...
