new armor idea

[BIGTROJANMAN]

ok i was woundering what u guys would think if there was an armor that could hold 3 rifile slots. i thought of this wwhen i was sniping some nc(if u are an nc player sorry u had to hear that.) a couple of them thought it they could take me out so i polled out my sweeper and teched then a lessen, the next thing i know a damn max killed me and i knew noneof my weapons would of had a chance. so i thought hey if i could carry arochet rifle or a Striker would of stand a chance. i just want your thoughts on this.
:rock:

nah. don't think its a good idea.

EDIT: although, i think it would be useful. i'd sure use this feature is it was in-game. but i think its not a good idea, personally.

3 main weapon slots is a bit too much,imo.

There is a solution for you though.
Cert special assault, and carry 1-2 decis in your inventory. When you see a max, quickly press i, right click your decimator, whip it out and kill him. Works well if you can switch&unholster it quick enough.

I'm guessing you're either very young, or German because most of your mistakes resemble German.....oh well.

The problem with a third rifle slot is that it unbalances everything. Two rifle slots allows you to compensate for most things, but not everything. Having the third slot allows every soldier to become a "soldier for all seasons", and that's a bit too unbalancing.

For instance, I could loadout my thumper, JH, and deci all in one suit. No matter what comes my way, I have the proper weapon to handle it. I don't feel that it's wise to let there be a single ALL POWERFUL loadout. It takes the fun out fo the game.

[Gunslanger]

you nailed it right on the head, mudflap. that is how i feel, i just didn't get into detail

are you at work, porkfryer? you seem to be on these boards as much as me. i'm at work :p

[BIGTROJANMAN]

Mudflap i see what you are sayin i was just wondering what people think of the idea

[Gunslanger]

your not at work? shame on you for visiting message boards when not at work! :D you should be out there helping your empire right now! :)

Wow thread hijack. Thats what PM's are for.

Anywho this is IMO too overpowering to any given soldier. You can have the advantage no matter where you are if you had 3 rifle slots.

What about 3 Rifle slots, 1 pistol slot, same pack size as rexo.

[Otherick]

how about the nuke gun that kills all people but friendlies on the cont and costs 1 cert while we're all dreaming

[Otherick]

What about 3 Rifle slots, 1 pistol slot, same pack size as rexo.

and how does trading a pistol slot for a rifle make it fair?

[undetected]

or it just kills everyone... including youself

[Otherick]

how about we "n3rf the new armour"

[undetected]

yeh its never gunna happin

[Otherick]

I think that goes with out saying

[TheRagingGerbil]

Carry a rocklet rifle. It will make short work of both softies and maxes.

[Jagd]

I wouldn't call killing a MAX with a rocklet "short" work. Maybe a little faster than an AP punisher, but we're talking a lot of rocklets.

Well, two clips (12 rockets) if you get them all to hit.
