Aside from the fact that they look incredibly cool in the manuals & shiz, maybe we could have some as a pack or something.

I dunno, I just think they might be cool to have if someone can come up with something useful for them

Like, being able to fire 2 weapons @the same time (ie: being able to have mortar equipped while still being able to chain down people or something). Saves time switching weapons, can double rate of fire, but on the other hand you expend ammo like a mofo and don't get any other pack bonuses and whatnot.

Meh, now that I think about it, it doesn't sound that cool anymore.

But it sure as hell would look nice :p

for those of you who don't know what pyro's refering to:




Personally I think it's kind of a cool idea for heavies or something. You just have light versions of weapons that take the pack slot and would be weaker than their counter parts (light blaster, light chaingun, light grenades, etc) but still use the same ammo. I can see it being really useful for Heavy D and HoF as the ability to chain AND disc incomming cappers would be a HUGE advantage.

I don't see it as gimmicky and I think it could be well balanced.

I don't know about T2, but a few T1 mods had this kinda thing.. were the more unbalanced mods to start with, so perhaps not the greatest thing to look at in that respect...

Well, you can balance stuff out beren. Make 'em weigh as much as an inventory station for example.


I dunno tho. Who knows? Not me that's for sure.

A slow painful death.

I <3 teh tribes art.


It'd be nice if we also had real melee weapons instead of the ghey shocklance. Stabbing heavies in the face all gangsta style.
Bah.
I'll find a way to mod that. With like different swings and blocks. That'd be so leat.

It has the same retarded mentality that the worst Mods do. I mean..look at those guns. You just KNOW the artist was drooling on himself while he drew that. "OMFG!!! This is soooo cool! I drew it with THREE BARRELS!!! I have to change my pants, that's so awesome!"

Definitely calling that retarded. There's no swords in the game, and the gun has two ****ing barrels for no reason at all.

Luis Royo is an exceptional artist. Generally the artists DON'T design the game play and mechanics.

Look at every single cool anime and you're bound to find the occsional LASER AS BIG AS A PLANET. Now granted that would just be STUPID to have in a game, but it looks pretty damn cool!

See, you're opinion is just silly b/c if shoujou artists designed multiplayer first person shooters the tribes dudes would be getting in crazy love triangles where their parents switch spouses and the voice commands would always end in ellipses.

"She's at...the waypoint...?"

I AM OPINION!!

Anyway, That would be great. I'd love to see a shoujou-based FPS. But you forgot the cherry blossom petals continually flying across the playing field.
