How To Use An Armory.

Ollj · May 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">ever wondered?</div> This is no discussion about humping or strategy, its more a technical logical question:

Its just a game and gameplay > realism.
When I use the armory I see both of my arms holding the gun that is being reloaded without a special movement.
I always search for my 3rd hand when using the armory.
Watching teammates using it theres also no special "klicking" or "kicking" like using a coke machine.
-Are armorys mind controlled, do they have a humping detector, or what?

So the ammo gets teleported into my bag when "I want to"?
- I could live with that solution but if so why did the TSA never develope armorys that reload you long range.
- And why doesnt the ammo get teleported directly into my empty magazine.
When we can teleport stuff from the armory into my pocket why do we even have to reload manually?[/b]

Nanites.

I guess the easiest explanation is the correct one: So far, a 'armory use' animation has just not been done yet.

Actually, I like the mindcontrol thing better.

They dont.

Quite simple. The armory have drawers! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Next thing you know, you'll be able to pull them out and whack aliens with them. Talk about stronger melee weapons.

That sounds like something you could do on Half Life 2.

*whack whack*

crack · May 2004

You use your eyes and your special powers to move the ammo into the weapon. Problem solved.

Right up there with:

"Why can the Nanites make complex machines out of then air, but can't connect a pipe with steam coming out of it with another pipe from the RT"

Suspension of disbelif my friend. Useful in video gaming.

Armory has a store of nanites. When you press use on it, nanites move from the armory your armory through your body and into your gun, where it changes into any type of bullet.

Norml_E_High · May 2004

Lol... I always just figured it worked by marines inserting their empties into slots and having them refilled, or getting more full clips. Short of special animations that is.

They can, but there is safety measure that prevents them from assembling working structure. Marines must "activate it". At least this was in old manual..

But we all know, that nanites are just TSA propaganda, their secret black-ops division simply re-discovered magic and witholds this information from public to prevent people changing to frogs and other anomalies..

Recoup · May 2004

Should we really be worrying about loading animations when people are still bitching about respawning and combat?

keep_it_Gangsta · May 2004

yes the armoury, well what can I say.

Not too much I'm afraid.

But then I'm freaking drunk.

Just adding to my post count really.

Please dont suspend me, cus I wont remember what I did tommorow.

I use it slow at first... Then speed up and go HARDER AND HARDER AND HARDER UNTIL!.........

I've got enough ammo. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

how come TSA can create phase gates which can moleculy transport people but can't make a gun that shoots underwater.

UnderDOG · May 2004

H2O reacts with nanites

Edd · May 2004

Because gunpowder uses fire and water keeps killing fire whenever he sees him because fire slept with water's girlfriend.

ahho · May 2004

hump it well and the armory will give you goodies

panda_de_malheureux · May 2004

if h2o reacts with nanites how come bile bomb - a waterbaloon - doesnt take off armour, and why don't wet attacks disable guns.. and huds.. and why arent there waterpistol aliens? explain me that.

That's because those are waterresistant nanites, but they're rather naughty and the TSA has not yet succeeded in taming them for their use.

Damned waterresistant nanites.

Church · May 2004

You guys DO know that the human body is 80% water right? And that nanites run are everywhere in marines?

meatball · May 2004

Always the nanites.

Got a question? Think again, it might be the nanites.

Zaggy · May 2004

Lol NS has no such thing as realism and things like armory animations have not been done because......Why actually?

Perhaps an animation where the player holds a bag in front of him under an armory hose distributing thing <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Anyone ever notice the rines never dig latrines or build dunnies to have a dump??

Nanites take care of it for them... Thats how the armoury works...

When you can explain why rines dont go poo-poo's then you can explain how the armoury works.

Remeber in the original Half-Life you could dispense cans from vending machines? Just steal that model and use that as the armory.
