1.1 Marine Weapon Question

colt45

<div class="IPBDescription">Can they hold multiple weapons?</div> First off, im not new to this forum so i do try to use the search engine, but i swear it is down half the time for me. Anyways, my question has to do with the posts about the 1.1 stories by the playtesters. From what i have read it appears that they can carry multiple weapons. i.e. One story claimed a marine carried a gl plus a lmg. Another i read sounded like he had every 1st slot weapon available. Is this going to be a new feature or is it part of a mod for a server because i have played on a CS server that allowed u to carry several weapons at the same time.

Erm... not sure which posts you're referring to. I can't seem to find anything which mentions multiple weapons. Are you sure that the posts you're looking at are referring to the 1.1 playtesting, and not the beta testing?

BTW, the search box at the bottom of the screen should work even if the search page doesn't.

Sorry, ive never used the quote deal so i dont know how to pull the page onto my post so ill just give the address to the topic. It was one Monse started that has stories by the playtesters telling their experiences so far.

Go to Monse's story where he talks about running from a onos, drops his gl and whips out his lmg. Gimme a sec and ill find another story by a playtester that talks about one marine who had a shottie, lmg, and hmg.

In testing we could carry multiple weapons. It was changed for 2 reasons:

1. Encourages teamwork. Not so one can zoom along with his HMG and kill aliens. Pull out his GL and take out turrets, pull out some mines and mine along the way, etc. You get the idea, Forcing the guns to be spread out forces the marines to stick together
2. Lamers picking up every gun they can and just dieing <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Will it be changed back? I highly don't see any reason to.

Yeah, that's actually a reeeeaaaalllyyy old thread from before version 1.0 was released. If you look at the very end it has a new section for 1.1 stories, which don't mention multiple weapons.
