  • New Weapons - Good or Bad
  • 12
     

    I have been reading alot on the forums and have heard some say they would love new weapons (one being me).

    But then I hear others saying they want no such thing.

    I want to take a tally here of who wants what.

    Say whether you want new weapons or not, then explain why.

    I wonder what the outcome will be...

    Good.

    This game is interesting because of the building mechanic, not the single gun and the WWI setting some claim the game takes place in.

    More guns will make it interesting.

    I want new weapons to add more variety to the game. It's already a boss game as it is, but like any game it can always get better.

    2 more weapons
    0 keep it the same

    More guns will make the game cliche and remove the simplicity.

    Bad.

    It depends. As long as the weapons aren't overpowered, I'd love to see some. My favorite idea for implementing them is the slot system,where you have 5 slots to carry weapons and tools in,like so:

    Primary Weapons
    Rifle,Shotgun,SMG

    Secondary
    Grenade,Pistol,Landmine

    Blocks
    Normal(50), Concrete(25),Barbed wire(10)

    Tools(pick 2)
    Pick,Shovel,Ammo Box,Health Pack

    This is not a real post, it can't be.

    I don't want more guns just for the sake of more guns, I would like to see a medic and an engineer class added, each with their own unique weapon.

    4 for it. 1 against. Plus other non decided or non voting posts.

    Just to keep a running total. :-)

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

    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

    Good.

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

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

    Zing!

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

    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.

    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...

    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.

    @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

    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.
    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.
