I'm for no new weapons

I'm in favor of new weapons, but not anything with low-accuracy or where recoil needs to be managed.

I think you could add weapons without wrecking the balance if everyone could carry them all at once Unreal Tournament style, but the rifle is just so well suited to the game already. The only way you could bring in new weapons would be to lower the rifle's effectiveness, which would completely suck. So I'd have to say no to new weapons.

And a trench gun/shotgun? Are you serious? An enemy with a rifle could kill you six times over before you'd even have a chance to use that useless thing. Even more so for a knife. Besides even if the knife/shotgun was an instant kill below a certain range, a rifle shot to the head still renders it obsolete, and anyone with half decent aim can do that. If your aim is so bad that you think a shotgun in this kind of game would actually be a good idea, then you're really probably playing the wrong game. So yeah, no to new guns.

Except for a satchel charge, we definitely need that.

@Brojangles: I stopped reading at "Bayonet/Knife" in the DO ADD list. No, no, NO, NO NO. I wouldn't give two shits if an automatic grenade launcher with 10 block radius and instant kill was added, but a fucking instant kill knife? No. To be honest, though, if you mean something that functions completely different from the CoD4+ knife, then it's only kinda no. The insta kill would still make it overpowered, though, in my opinion. An instant-kill backstab only, however, would seem fair enough.

Random rant, sorry. Something about knives in games just hits a nerve for me.

Yes for new weapons. Trench gun, please. Maybe even a coach gun.

I think new weapons would be a good idea, just as long as each weapon has it's own strengths and weaknesses, which all equal out.

new weapons yes
but the key is to blance them right,so as to have no one weapon left behind.

Seems like there is more support for new weapons

The trench gun idea sounds interesting, but that's what a headshot is for.
The rifle really covers most weapon's jobs, but isn't very flashy doing it.
I personally don't want any new weapons because it's not needed.

shit

"You choose to take land mines rather than grenades, after being placed on the ground they become invisible to enemies after 3 seconds. Friendlies can see transparent versions of the mines. If an enemy attacks the ground with his knife, a mine there will appear for a moment (to indicate it was there) then be destroyed. Walking on a mine would be instant kill, of course. "

No.

A yes to more weapons, but I've seen some weapon ideas I am strongly against

DO NOT ADD:
Scoped/sniper rifle - The current gun is enough of a sniper and a scoped weapon would just promote even more sitting in a hidey hole for hours and less dynamic play
Mortar - It's no fun to get killed by shells coming from somewhere you can't see and it's not satisfying to kill something you can't see. If they destroyed blocks they would also render topside fortifications near useless.

DO ADD:
Trench gun: A shotgun would be ineffective on the ground, but much more useful in closed environments like tunnels and structures, this would promote varied playstyles
Bayonet/Knife: Instant kill, but only range of one block of course. Could add another dynamic in very close range and would be useful as an emergency sidearm.
Mounted MG: Yes it's been suggested a thousand times, but I think it would promote holding locations more, which is more enjoyable than throwing yourselves at the intel tower alone.

ON THE FENCE:
Handheld full auto weapons: Unless they did low damage I can see them taking over use of the default rifle completely, alternatively they could add to the game if added in a balanced way.

The knife gave me an idea for a way to include mines.

Yea, besides it is said that the rifle is Gewehr, which was not even created before 40s.. world war 1 much?

Yes new weapons, so I guess it's
Yes: 9
No: 6

@thedeucelink like what @chosen said, the doesn't based on single WW1 alone, but also from another war like Vietnam war. This leaves us some freedom for imagination.

In term of weapons, i would like o see another weapons aside from our "beloved" default rifle. I also want the weapons have each other pro & cons, making the more balance.

So yeah, i couldn't agree more

Actually, they had a very small variety. Anti-tank, machinegun, and bolt-action. The bolt-action rifle is already present.

And the developer told us in an that the game isn't based on a single war: http://www.aceofspadesblog.com/2011/05/exclusive-interview-with-ace-of-spades.html Read question one.

Nah, we don't really need new weapons. In the first world war, they didn't used a big assortment of guns weapons. It would be nice maybe an "extra weapon" you can get at the tent in a random roulette (or based on how many kills you have done?).
An heavy machine gun (that you can't use anywhere but you have to put it down), a flamethrower, a gas granade...

no
i agree wit beef
7-yes
5-no
1-both

meh, new weapons could be cool - but what would be the point? You die so quickly in this game that there's really no point in anything beyond the simple rifle. Fix the mechanics and add other new elements to the game first.

It's 7 for new weapons
and 3 for keeping it the same
and 1 guy taking both sides apparently

i quite like using just a rifle but more weapons could add variety but takes the SHEER skil of using a single accurate weapon.....can i vote both sides?

Zing!

I vote for more weapons, provided they aren't ridiculous and/or overpowered.

Let's kill that feeling as soon as possible

No. It is fun to play as generic soldier #9001. If there is even a slight difference in the soldiers, it kills the feeling.

Good.

However, I'd prefer mounted guns be added first.

lokiamis is the best poster on this forum

but anyway, i do not really know, i think just adding equipment would be a good idea. maybe new guns, but they'll have to be balanced. i think that Ben can probably implement them, he's pretty good

@Aqwerty
Under tools, add in mortar that takes up both.
^_^ balanced.
