Next update - Compound Bow

[p0intman]

only way a bow fits in is if it shoots crap like grappling hooks or some shit like that.

[monkjunk]

I bet the VS have to charge theirs.

I want this! I am presuming it's going to be much quieter then current Guns in the game and I enjoy being sneaky and stealthy as a Infiltrator when I'm not playing with my Prowler as a Engineer or Squad Leading as a Heavy. Current Suppressors are terrible, I hate the nasty bullet drop it gives and slight damage reduction, I play TR, I need the damage! It would be nice to get a actual stealth weapon and new Melee weapons so I can play stealth and have more options to be sneaky.

True, only if:
A) It doesn't OSOK (I think even OHSOK is barely acceptable)
B) It has slower travel time than the most slow fiying bullet.
C) There is proper permanent cloak, and you can shoot without setting it off.
D) The crossbow shouldn't produce a sound so quet and undiscernable that you can only hear it by standing almost point blank to the person.


Technically, I just described (A, B, D) what makes Crysis 3 Composite Bow OP. The bow is MORE effective than a sniper rifle there.

Good lord, talk about weapons for weapons sake.

[Emperor Newt]

If it shoots crappling hooks I want it. If not it can stay where it came from.

What are you doing to Planetside, SOE???

Speaking of which...



I would rock the shit out of that! lol

[Ghoest9]

Ya grappling hook launcher would be cool.

But as a weapon its the kind of crap that ruins the games credibility and environment.

This..... If they make it like that composite bow..I can completely get behind using one of these. In fact, I would make it so this was my Mid range option rather then my scout rifle.

Stupid COD weapons like bows don't belong in this game. Same goes for any melee weapon besides the default knife.

If devs want to make money with new weapons they better stick to the sci-fi theme. This is not Medievalside 2.

I dont know man, I think it would be pretty fun to beat on people with a riot baton.

Well, if the shields are only designed to stop faster moving objects, it would actually be very beneficial to use something like crossbow. That way it would be easy to accept something like this.

Or nanites.

Only problem would be how to balance that thing. As it is, I doubt it has a place in the game.

[Methonius]

They really can't come up with anything else besides a crossbow?
This style of weaponry does not fit in this genre. Specially for VS. What are we going to shoot Chewbacca laser crossbows? lol.. Always thought that was dumb in starwars.

[Shogun]

ok, time to say something evil >

it´s for the caves and you need it to build ziplines
