New Stuff For Ns

in NS General Discussion
<div class="IPBDescription">anyone else think so?</div> I was playing ns with my bro last night and after wards he was complaining that the marines have no choices for weapons, and the game doesn't have enough variety. After a while he convinced me that that some new feature should be added to combat and Normal NS, or just combat. But anyway here are some of them:

-------------------------
M A R I N E S
-------------------------

1: Marines should be able to get duel pisols maybe with 15 clip size.
2:As a separate upgrade, exploding pistol bullets for extra damage.
3:A rocket launcher! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
4:Maybe some spider mines(like claymores except they seek out the enemy.)
5:A different armor upgrade, like a battle suit or something.
6:A different armor upgrade, like a spider suit were you can climb walls(I didn't like this, too much like spider-man.)
7:A BETTER KNIFE! I thoought this idea rocked, a energy knife or something that could deal like 40 damage a swing or something.

-------------------------
A L I E N S
-------------------------

1:An alternate evolution path ex: an alternate lerk class, fade class, maybe even an alternate skulk and onos class.

-------------------------
A W I E R D I D E A
-------------------------

Another thing would be the ability to buy turrets and oc's for combat, maybe 2 points each, but this would be hard to balance.


Thats about everything. I hope you consider these suggestions. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I take that you haven't been to Suggestions & Ideas Forum.

    In which case, <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=739' target='_blank'>here</a> are some common suggestions that won't make it in.

    Trust me, the Rocket Launcher and dual pistols were posted lots of times....

    Lol sorry but no to everything IMHO. Just look at your list, how overpowered would marines be? I mean a rocket launcher? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> ROFL

    NS has basically everything it needs - just needs a few more tweaks here and there.

    Oh yeah and to everyone else whose gonna reply - be nice <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The "variety" comes from the tactics and not the amount of weapons you can carry.

    A lot of the suggestions you made were already posted and were vastly denied.

    The rocket launcher is a no-no, since some if not all maps are based either on a ship, or on a planet, a rocket would just make a blow in the wall and kill everything inside.

    The energy knife doesn't match the "gritty" feel Ns tries to keep.

    The turrets/Oc in combat would lead to massive farming.

    Dual pistol was also denied as not "gritty" feel.

    Yeah use the search option and go browse the I&S forum <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    you suggest 5-6 crazily overpowered marine upgrades, then proceed to the "buildings in combat" idea, which too is old, and remark that "it would be hard to balance".









    lol. and please, play aliens before suggesting new weapons to ns.
