<div class="IPBDescription">Last Line of Defence Trowing Axe</div>hi,
As you all know already know marines run out of ammo pretty quickly. First you unload all you're clips into 2 skulks, bam! over. Then Pistol gets
depleted, BAM!. Then all of a sudden. Finally you pull you're last line of defense out Switch Axe to the rescue! Wait...that Gorge runs away in fear
for his life. You are faced with a dilemma. THROW THE AXE. Boom right between his eyes. I really think giving the marine a chance to throw his
Axe would put a different and challenging element to this already a hit game. Please post any and all comments.

Also how do you run out of ammo? You start with like 250 rifle bullets and quite a lot of pistol ammo. I don't honestly know how you can run out before you die.
Implemented I do think it would do think it would do very well. We all ready have the drop system for any and all items when you die. So this isnt much of a strech. Its easy
You thow Axe it should do alot of damage. If you fail to hit youre target then it falls to the ground waiting to be picked up !Its a Axe!
-Well, as I see the problem of nuklear bombs, the point of Obama saying USA and Russia had 'more than necessary' of them, means that his nobel price should be retraced. The main point may be true, 8,500 bombs on American and 12,000 bombs on the Russian side is more than necessary, but should we have any of them?
-Beer is one of the only dignified invention of the western culture
-I like the idea of a throwing axe
Thank you!
There is an ideas and suggestions sub forum, you should post your ideas there :P.
To you idea: I think the gorge is pretty much the only you can hit with that :P. But yeah, it would still be pretty cool.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm sure the OP meant running out of the first rifle + pistol clip.
At first, I didn't like the idea of a throwable axe. Even if you were able to throw your axe at the gorge and kill it, what if a skulk gets the jump on you? You would have no melee weapon and, most importantly, no loaded weapons. Instead of switching to the axe and throwing it, I'd rather spend the time on reloading my weapon and possibly letting the gorge get away. This game is about conserving ammo and reloading at optimal times; sometimes you have to let your prey go for another shot at him later.
Then again, a throwable axe that does the same melee damage would be nice for getting the last hit needed on a runner in case you unload your primary/secondary clips. A throwable axe that does more than default damage might be OP since you could team up with some ppl and take turns throwing/picking up axes.
him than me. Not one wepon should be overpowed, i understand that. Creating stratagies knowing when do bow out is what is all about. I also dont feel this would be
exploited either. Why first of all would you thow youre axe second anyways, that does not make any sense. This is a what if senerio. This Axe would have to have a "quick
change" feature. When youre reloading to halt it immediatly and then point and thow. For expample Grenade Launcher is slow to reload and the Flamethower
Ermm..... Yeah, nah.

In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your peices.

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
