A shaped charge frisbee launcher. That fires little shaped charges that detonate over tanks and vehicles.

Bears with parachutes fired from big artillery cannons.

Also, cloaked cruise missiles.

You all discribed weaponsystems that can still be classified just like existing ones.

Except you, you described one that was already in development awhile ago.

There really isn't much from the ground up "new" you can do with weapons, is what I'm saying, it's pretty much all just an upgrade.

I think we're not going to think of any more fun weapon types.

However, if we ever had FTL in an MMO and an appropriate physics engine, pointing your ship at something, turning the safety off and engaging the hyperdrive to initiate a light-speed ram would make for a very interesting result.

Meh, still just a big, fast dumbfire rocket.

P.S.: Please don't misunderstand me, my 1st post was just as a reaction to the "herp to much modern weaponz needs future derp" arguement, which imo just didn't work for the reason I posted.

Why didn't you add napalm to the list? Purely anti-infantry but can cut and area off so that buys your team time to rethink and reload or can trap enemies in a base or trap them out. Would be awesome to see.

And i voted for all of them because we need lots of variety or else it will be the same thing over and over again, i want to see an aircraft and think "Oh god, what does it have equipped, is it anti-vehicle or anti-infantry. Huh, i see a black shape coming from the bottom, looks like a bomb. Oh dear..." *Boom!!!

*Dead*

Can only fit 10 options on the poll :-/ napalm is a good call tho, I'm pretty sure they said something about flamethrowers....

Nope, still just a different kind of munition, same as if you said Vortex-Implosion-Refractalator-Triunobtanium Warhead.

Yep and everything is simply an upgrade of the thrown rock.

Not a rock. A stick.

"You call that a rock, this. Is a rock."
"Thats a stick."
"Ah.. i see you have played rocky sticky before."

Scissors would complete this awesome armoury.

Right, if I can steer the thread back to the actual topic.....

There seems to be more love than I thought for all kinds of different weapons, both guided and unguided.

I hope we do get some unguided free-fall bombs as a variant for the ES fighters, but what's slightly interesting is that there's much less interest in a retarded variant that can be dropped from a low level... too OP?

I suspect that Battlefailed 3's removal of bombs from jets is behind PS2's removal of bombs.

Battlefailed 3 CANNOT have powerful bombs because it uses things like unlimited ammo(which is a failed decision all on its own). This is why you have to be careful when taking inspiration from another game, because there are reasons why that other game does something.

Really? That's dumb. Anyway though, PS2 should definitely not have unlimited stores and therefore is free to have some more powerful weapons balanced by the amount you can carry / length of time to reload / aircraft handling.
