The Forth Weapon

EZero

well......i say the 4th slot is used for a grenade
now not just any grenade
but it can be a "sense" grenade
well..... more like a ping grenade
and the commander needs to research per marine
and the researched marine only gets 1 grenade on each spawn (with a minimum timer so he doesn't suicide for another nade)
this wouldn't really overpower and besides....all these sensory towers needs an effective counter-attack (other than pinging it every 5 seconds)
just my 2 cents

No no no. You got it all wrong, guys.

The fourth slot actually activates the teamwork cheat. Frankly, I think it's overpowered <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

i think something like a phase grenade which would be activated as a spawn dealy when the marines research phase tech, it would be a bit like redemption but it wouldnt be automatic, almost dead? phase nade!

Phase nade? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'd like the ping nade. Although researching per marine is a bit hefty. How about you research it once to get it, and two more times to increase the range? And you couldn't get them at the armory. One nade a life. You could research it in the Observatory.

i've always wanted the 4th slot to be reserved for equipment(mines/welder)... it just isn't quite fair for equipment to replace your backup weapon..

I like the idea of ping nade yeah, but you wouldn't get it on spawn, I think it would wourk like mines but u throw em and they explode... and could only expose players... and would be one of the last things to research.
Oh dear my grammar has died.

Doubt it will ever happen neway.

I think the most we'll ever get out of slot 4 is putting the welder and stuff there.
