3) I dont even mind unique weapons being sold there, as long as they are not upgrades to what free players can have, just different, but this can fall in the sidegrade business
Could probably come up with few more, but still |
The problem "Sidegrade" weapons though are that they can often have slightly different and although technically not more powerful elements, more useful ones. For instance, a shotgun with better range than other shotguns (With no real downsides). A sniper rifle that players can sprint with while others require you to jog (Without losing the power to 2 shot players)
Sound familiar? :P
That's not to say you cant actually work sidegrade weapons, TF2 is a great example of this with a number of sidegrades to classic weapons, while still maintaining the effectiveness of the basic ones.
It's just that you have to be careful how you do it.
