Quick draw implant?

[WritheNC]

My cousin and I were playing, and he said on teamspeak he wished there was a quickdraw implant so he would not get owned every time he was trying to switch things, so I thought, "Hey that's a good idea, he doesn't post on the forums but I'll what people think."

[easypickings]

thats one of the best ideas ive heard all day,

no doubt it will get flamed to hell, but i like the idea.
admitedly it there would be better implants out there but if thats what you want then why not thats the whole idea of them to make you more unique

[Cryptica]

Not bad idea at all. I know it would save me time. But how about a faster reload implant? Drop a clip and reload in 1 second. I know all you sniper dudes would love it.

This would kind of cut into combined arms. The idea is that, even if you have four holsters, you still have to duck behind a corner to safely switch between them.

yea I think they should just increase the speed your character moves while changing weapons - the devs obviously wanted it to be realistic, so the switch time coincides with the animation of your character switching weapons....they just need to speed this up a little, and LET US USE THE SCROLL TO CHANGE WEAPONS!! whats up with not letting us do that from the beginning? its just wrong to handicap us like that.

[LimpBIT]

i love it WEEEE

Surreal, even now your character switches weapons faster than a realistic animation. You'll see some weapons just warp into place.

[SurrealBeingXX]

well yea...I guess...but I still want to be able to use my scroll to cycle weapons...whats up with jacking that capability from us....

*bubble burst*

This idea was originally proposed back in July, and was shot down by the devs.

SO THE F*** WHAT! If most of the community wanted this, then they would have to change it! They are put in place to make the game more fun for all of us, and if many people cant stand the slow weapon changing, then they would have to change it. Its so friggin wrong to make the weapons switch slowly! What frigging difference does it really make?!? If I could change weapons faster, and have a faster mouse speed in this game, which is naturally still not fast enough with sensitivity all the way up; I WOULD OWN this game....they just seem to be trying to keep it booring and realistic....

[Zatrais]

No thanks. I like the weaponswitching speed just as it is. Your currently selected weapon should have a large impact on your battlefield abilities.

well yea...I guess...but I still want to be able to use my scroll to cycle weapons...whats up with jacking that capability from us....I use scroll up to change to rifle slot 1 (slot 2), and scroll down to change to rifle slot 2 (slot 4)

[SurrealBeingXX]

yea, I think I may have done something like that once, but when I started playing the game I was just appalled at the fact that they dont let u scroll cycle weapons. but whatever..its not that bad, but could be a lot better

"If I could change weapons faster, and have a faster mouse speed in this game, which is naturally still not fast enough with sensitivity all the way up; I WOULD OWN this game...."

This sentence speaks volumes for what Sony is up against. I feel for them.

SO THE F*** WHAT!

Calm down junior.

If most of the community wanted this, then they would have to change it!

Newsflash: they don't have to change a damn thing if they don't want to.

They are put in place to make the game more fun for all of us,

Except those of us that didn't like Quake...

and if many people cant stand the slow weapon changing, then they would have to change it.

Refer to my above newsflash.

Its so friggin wrong to make the weapons switch slowly!

Yea, because a touch of reality is such a bad thing.

What frigging difference does it really make?!?

If a quickdraw implant doesn't make a diffrence, then what the fuck are you babbling about?

If I could change weapons faster, and have a faster mouse speed in this game, which is naturally still not fast enough with sensitivity all the way up; I WOULD OWN this game....they just seem to be trying to keep it booring and realistic....

I'm sure that if you could rocketjump, you'd own even more. One of the key things about Planetside is that coordinated tactics will own quakebabies any day, and the people that keep pleading for things that would 'speed up' the game (ie: turn it into another twitch shooter) have no sense of applied tactics, only twitch.

[ChewyLSB]

PlanetSide is fairly unique in that it's not really a First Person Shooter, more like a War Simulator. The holster system is just another example.
