<div class="IPBDescription">Minor Tweaks (and MOAR HATS!!1)</div><ol type='1'><li>Need a bind key for "Welder!" with icon over my head (think TF2 medic call)</li><li>Welder carrying marines should have a white shoulder arm patch with a welder icon</li></ol>
The arm patch would alert other marines to the awesomeness that is the welder (kind of like hats, people love hats), more marines will get the welder.
The welder call would actually get other marines to weld me (no one does this in pub play). The overhead icon should be the same as the arm patch, and awesome.

Thoughts?

    i especially like the shoulder patch to indicate people with welders -- it allows you to stay immersed.
    the only danger is people spamming "weld me," but that is easy enough to fix

    i like to run around the map with the welder on 24/7

    my only gripe is that once I day i can't go and pick up the welder again (it doesn't drop)

    Nice idea. In my opinion, the welder needs to be more useful. Why should I spend res for something, that does not have any favor for me? Sure it's useful for our team. But I pay personal res. And if I die, its lost. Some times I haven't even used it. So why should I waste my p_res? If the com wants me to weld something, he should drop one. But wasting my res every life on a thing I hardly use...

    Just saying. I think its not rewarding enough.

    Maybe it should not replace the Axe, but the standard building tool.
    And maybe it could speed up the building time when you carry one.

    You should be able to keep your knife if you have a welder.

    Not a single good reason to have the current system.

    Because people love hats, just look at all the grief over black armor.. this is why I the super-awesome-shoulder patch is a good idea :)

    if the welder was an arm attachment, we could adjust the actual player model. A gauntlet looking thing of some sort. Would also give the welder some identity, rather than looking like the build tool.
