In fairness, there are a lot of situations in combat where a sidearm can be a lifesaver. If your weapon jams of the magazine runs dry in the middle of storming an enemy-held building it's quicker to draw a sidearm than to get your rifle working again, and some weapons like designated-marksman's rifles or medium machine guns like the M60 are a massive liability at close quarters.

"Cause THEY DONT ADD STUFF THAT IS IN THE REAL ARMY LIKE PISTOL'S!!!!!"

real armies dont carry spades and rarely will they have a side arm.

mario check the op date, it was made a week ago, it had a point when it was made.

All of the above) .60 Suggestions are pointless... it comes out tonight.

This is why AOS sucks right now of all the douchebag's that play it saying AOS DONT NEED A PISTOL ALL IT NEEDS IS A BATTLE RIFLE AND A MACHINEGUN!!!This is why AOS will never be a big fun online game.Cause THEY DONT ADD STUFF THAT IS IN THE REAL ARMY LIKE PISTOL'S!!!!!

Ever since AOS was made the creator is just been working on the rifle and SMG and he never work on a pistol and AOS ANT A WAR GAME WITHOUT A PISTOL!!!!And plus i know alot of pussys out there that cant kill with pistols that why they dont want them.Like you insertcake.There already is a rifle the semi and already a machinegun the SMG and did anyone thought about the pistol's NO!!!!So i say pistols should be in the game.

Pistols, really? how unoriginal I for one vote for a batlle rifle and instead of pistol just have a webley revolver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webley_Revolver therefore reducing spam-o-matic pistols and introducing a skilled weapon. taadaah

tip: use this! :DDDDD : http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=645

LOL *trollface.jpeg*

This is what I heard..

And yes i do mean pistol as a secondary weapon :D

Look i actly do hate some of those idea's but the idea i love the most is the pistol one.cause i really do get annoyed when i ran out of ammo and i must go back to tent.And yeah i do think SMG should be changed into a AK-47 :D

that is good to hear

Ben,Said he is going to ADD a looting system(Looting bullets of the victim you killed) and a Pistol and will add a inventory where you can customize things and such.

dinosaurs :D

Auto team balance.

Id like to see an assualt rifle replace the smg, that way you can change the rate of fire and the rifle could then become a sniper rifle

What is with all this pistol bullshit we've been seeing over the last 3 months? Why the fuck is it taking so long to get a proper machine gun (not that SMG bullshit)?

Come on now.

@Fluttershy
You sound like the pitol would be a stand-alone weapon.
I'm pretty sure he means secondary for:
"OH SH*T I'M OUT OF AMMO!" situations
&
to balance the short range of the shotgun with a weaker, but more accurate weapon.

Also, besides pistol I disagree with everything.

No, your ideas are bad. Your arguments are all invalid.

0.60 AOS idea's what? WHAT IS THE POSSESSIVE NOUN???

Here is what i think to those responses:

1: No- You dont need a pistol if you know how to conserve your ammo, and you can refill at the tent
2: No- This game is perfectly fine with capture the flag, we dont need another version of TF2
3: No- If you want to switch teams you could just exit server and join as other team so dumb idea
4: No- The texture is fine and simple, we dont need to lag the servers anymore than they are already
5: NO- Vehicles are a dumb idea that dont fit in this game
6: Use a Mod- I made my intel into a backpack
7: Absolutely NOT- This is a WW1 or WW2 game, no zombie modes. Go play COD or something

THIS GAME IS PERFECT THE WAY IT IS

Pistol's will be good (ON A WAR GAME AND AOS IS A WAR GAME) so flut im sorry but ant my fault you hate pistol's even know pistol's are IN WAR GAME'S AND aos is a war game so yeah...

Wow i just give my idea's and i get people saying how crappy they are but pistol's are a great idea cause i see alot of uses for them like if you ran out of bullet's on your main gun and your far away from your base you can use the pistol till you get to your base then get ammo then you can go on the field and please use grammar cause kid's dont use grammar.

^Agreed.

1:pistols are a crappy idea, making guns that by design are worst than the other guns is always a stupid idea
2: ben said hes adding them eventually, but yes.
3:nope, i switch teams often to balance them
4:what?
5:>flat maps
no
6:just mod it into a flag
7:what? no....if you really want zombie mode just play on a modded server

COMMENT IF YOU LIKE THESE IDEA'S AND GIVE SOME IDEAS IN OCMMENT'S ASWELL!!

idea list :D :
1:we should have pistol's so incase we ran out of ammo on are rifle or SMG or shotgun we can use the pistol :D.
2:More gamemode's like king of the hill.
3:No team swap till the game is finish so no griefer's can swap team's to grief then go back on there team and no one can go join the winning team.
4:When you make differant texture's for AOS dont it get annoying when you change 1 pictor look the over one change too?SO we should be able to custom both of them and make them both look differant from eachover.
5:We should have car's into the game but only on flat map's :D.
6:The intel should really be a flag so i think AOS should turn intel into a flag.
7:(got this idea from nazi zombie's on cod) A zombie mode so it's like cod nazi zombie's but in AOS And we only allow 4 people in each zombie server and they can kill zombies till they die AND buy ammo off the wall.

These are my idea's and well i really do wish they would do my 7 idea and first idea cause i love nazi zombie's and i really hate it when i run out of ammo and im far away from my base.
