There's still going to be the 20-30 seconds before he scrolls down when he will freak. He may even fire off a reply before that.

That would be simultaneously the most wonderful and horrible thing ever.

That is the moment Smedley stands up and goes, "THEY MAKE FUN OF ME- AND I AM YOUR FATHER"

"....NOOOOOOO!"

That's about how I feel about it. It still sounds a little bit scientology for my tastes, but it's neutral enough that I will put up with it.

I have my doubts about leaving one empire with damage degredation. Generally speaking one can just compensate for bullet drop, but degredation doesn't go away. Seems especially problematic for the sniper rifle.

Loving the look of everything though! Especially this:

I have to imagine that his last words were "OMGWTFBBQ!!1!"

If they make the damage degradation be consistent with the lower number of bullets that would hit with a gun that had more recoil/cof, then it should be fine. It just means that VS guns are always accurate, but have an equally hard time doing larger amounts of damage at longer ranges.

If it's relatively easy to make most bullets hit at a certain distance, then the VS guns should do almost full damage. If it's hard to hit with more than half of your bullets at a certain range, VS guns should do about half damage.

This is going to require serious balancing and playtesting though. If they get it right, I think it will give a great and unique feel to the VS. If they get it wrong, VS are either gimped or overpowered, and if we are overpowered, we will soon be nerfed to hell. Pulsar 2.0?

I think this may be the best thread in Recent time...for oh so many reasons.

Sorry man, that might have been a bit too much with the trash talk. <3 even if I don't get into beta.

edit: ok, glad you aren't too pissed. I might even let you kill me a few times in beta to make up for it.

VS armor looks great. As to the helmet in the SS, I actually prefer it to the old Agile helmet. Still prefer my old barrett overall though.
