I know i didn't include all the possible choices but from what I've listed please tell me which you would most look forward to in the case of new weapons. I chose the replacement of the suppressor.

TR Special Assault: Conquerer
50mm Mortar Rifle
4 round clip of Scaled down Marauder shells

Cost: 5 certs

So what if I'm dreaming, at least it's a sweet dream :)

I want a sword, but I think either Common Pool Heavys or Empire Specific Specials would be good. ;)

I agree, swords would kick ass but would probably suck when you try to charge someone with gun.

those choices are not the ligical ones :p

we need:
Empire specific Intercepters
Like flying versions of the AA maxs to shoot down those libs :p
*if not, at least give the skeeter a 35mm cannon*

But a sword would be very cool as well (esp if you could 'block' with it (8-10% shots bounce off sword)

*as would a few other toys here and there*

However, what I belive would also ver very good is more defenses for the bases (forcefield doors, blast doors, more turrits, internal defences *turrits/blastdoors*, etc etc etc)

I can see the Empire-Specific aircraft, but a sword would be absolute crap unless you're practicing for Olympic bullet-catching.

not really. it would be identicle to the knife, except do a load more damage, but takes up a rifle slot. not too bad.

Wow, I actually inspired some thinkig. Cool. I was more or less going off of the images of the over-sized Terran chianblades on the inside cover of the Planetside box. I don't know though, there wouldn't be much use for a sword when you could pull out a rifle and empty a clip onto a would-be Samuri.

But let's see about that...
Who really uses knives? Infiltrators. Who has no rifle slot? Infiltrators. Who would rather shoot to kill than stab to be killed? The people who could actually tote this thing around.

Hmmm..maybe make it collapsable, like a lightsaber.

That would be pretty bad ass. Vanu by far have the best looking armor. Although we already kind of have that with MAXes.....

I would rather have a sword than the hunchbacks for CR5. Just make the sword unusable, decoration.

But, if you bring lightsabers into the mix....Jedi Knight all over again.

Good times. :)

i voted special assault, cuz i used to have the cert but dropped it becuz it was basically a weak version of anti vech for wut iused it for, killing maxes and all. even tho the thumper does pwn sometimes, an empire specific weapon would definitely make me consider picking this cert back up.

Why not steal the armor as well and act like a spy or have the armor with different looks in your own empire color :D

I think that if Infils stab anyone with a knife in the back it should be an instant kill (like in TFC). Doesn't include MAXs though!

eye-laser implant. would take the place of repeater, beamer and scatter-pistol, but a little more powerful without taking up a slot.

heavy ass jetpacks.... they'd be heavy, have one rifle and one pistol slot, run really slow and can't be dropped and cost like 2 certs. that'd pwn for snipers, jump into a tree and stuff...

Actually, while new weapons would be cool, I'd like to see new ammo for special weapons and/or vehicle weapons.

Ideas might be:
- Snare/stun grenades
- launchable stationary micro-turrets, like mini spitfires, with limited duration
- flying micro-turrets that seek out movement, limited duration, probably rocklet-launched
- launchable force walls
- door-freeze grenades, like jammers that make the door bug work for us for a change
- Tank shells that work like Lib bomblets against infantry

Not that I'm complaining in any way whatsoever, but this seems to be turning into 'PS Official Wish List' part 2. Before they start adding weapons and more vehics etc etc, Gameplay and Bug issues should be addressed first. It's not the limit of equipment thats pushing people away, its the fact that its laggy as all hell, and people are paying for it thats pushing people away. I know that most of us, myself included, are loyal enough to stick through whatever comes because we love the game. But, instead of adding more things to create lag, the existing probs should be taken care of first. Aw hell since i'm here, might as well drop a few wooden nickels worth...

More outfit insignias! Either make more or let people submit their own if they've achieved a certain point..i.e

-Member total
-Point total
-Time of activity total.

In answer to original poll though..

-More common pool weapons--->Nerf bats and foul language

Common pool to stop people from whining so freaking much.
