Proof:

[16:48:27] <bcoolface> a sidearm is the next gun to be added

------------------

[16:52:59] <bcoolface> yeah - the whole point of the sidearm is that its a backup weapon... but itll be a little shitty

_____________

What did i tell you guys huh?

I shall now also direct you to a very detailed proof of concept i made a while ago: http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=5012

That's my public service announcement for the day....

Discus.

- DE

Sounds good, yet bad.

1) but itll be a little shitty-Will that mean that's how he'll make it?

"yeah - the whole point of the sidearm is that its a backup weapon... "

We'll have it for the same reason other games do, as a last resort back up =] its MENT to be weak :D

Yeah, true. But, is there a different between shitty and weak?!

In the context of what ben and I and others were discussing, he means "weak" as in, the primary weapons would be more powerful, but the sidearm would server a good purpose as a back up weapon.

so pretty much itll never be used on pyspades? please dont tell me we lost pick for this...

^ What are you talking about?? why would we loose pick? the sidearm will be game integrated while the pick melee is a pyspades addition.

He said he was adding sidearms before you made that thread though...

"^ What are you talking about?? why would we loose pick? the sidearm will be game integrated while the pick melee is a pyspades addition."

i say that because ben recently removed pick, seemingly to declutter the invatory, to reclutter it with a new side arm means he probably removed it so he could add the shitty side arm noone would ever NEED to use on pyspades. im well aware of the fact spade now has the melee thing on pyspades, but on pyspades you get your ammo back every 6 kills. meaning you never need to use this shit. id much rather have a pickaxe than a shitty gun thats made to be shitty on purpose thats only a bandaid to the problem at large.

"noone would ever NEED to use on pyspades."

^ So you can honestly tell me right now, that you have NEVER been in a situation where you were out of ammo and too far away to melee the enemy?.....

Think about it for a second.

"^ So you can honestly tell me right now, that you have NEVER been in a situatio where you were out of ammo and too far away to melee the enemy?.....

no, i either get 6 kills or i die, i never run out. i usually never run lower than a third of my ammo either unless im fucking around and spraying everywhere.

You can still use pickaxe.

And hopefully this pistol isn't awkward looking in-game like it does when you replace the semi with a pistol skin. The last thing I want is for my Mauser C96 skin to look bad while using it.

Also, it ain't likely that you'll run out of ammo, as you have a shit-load of bullets.

fluttershy why is shams server down?

What if you face the enemy and you are out of bullets (in magazine/clip). Then you simply switch to side arm and waste the bastard. Otherwise you are the dead meat.

I was in this situation many times.

id rather not get off topic but hes moving to a dorm or something for the brittish equivalent of college, and hes figuring out how to rehost. he said "hell find a way in a few days:.

"What if you face the enemy and you are out of bullets (in magazine/clip). Then you simply switch to side arm and waste the bastard. Otherwise you are the dead meat.

reload V.

something you do AFTER the enemy is dead.

Sometimes enemy isn't dead from my shooting. And what if there are 2 or 3 of them?

Then you die and accept it. Jeez, you guys are acting like this is some complex concept.

6 kills and you get ammo is pretty crappy game design. hopefully with a side arm pyspades will deprecate that nonsense.

^ That.

Also that refilling HP is stupid.

"6 kills and you get ammo is pretty crappy game design. hopefully with a side arm pyspades will deprecate that nonsense."

surly theres a better way to fix a broken leg than to put a hello kitty bandaid on it and hoping it heals itself.

I would like to see health and ammo drops from freshly gunned down bodies

second...ed

u spelled discuss rong.

I got the idea that will make the pistol even more usefull......FIX RELOADING! It makes no sense!

why doesnt it make sense?

^Say you have ammo like this:
25-120
It dosen't change it according to clips it just moves the bullets because after you reload, it looks like this:
30-115

ohhh ok, some games do that some dont.

The pistol shouldn't have a look down the sights option
