new armor idea

BIGTROJANMAN · 2004-01-29, 04:47 PM

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.

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.

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.
