Lightbulb 2 new ideas


Two Ideas

Ancient Tech Maxes
i dunno that would be cool to have ancient max armor.

Sniping
If your a sniper and shoot a enemy in the head...that should be a one shot kill. head shots = instant death.

While it would be cool if they had sniping head shots it will never happen. The engine PS uses doesnt allow for seperate hitboxes and locational damage on soldiers, it would require too much computing power. The devs have already mentioned this on the OF.

Actually, PS' engine DOES accomidate individual hitboxes. They were just excluded to eliminate potential lag. Hitboxes = more complex tracking for where each given hitbox was as any given time, and then checking the damage against a database of some sort to determine the final damage.

That's really too bad because if they did individual hitboxes, they could probably do cool stuff like explosives you could stick to vehicles, or aircraft where the passengers could be hit and shoot out of independently.

I am glad there isn't hitboxes, that just would make it even harder for guys like me with slower comps.

I hate the maelstrom....god it sucks. Ah well, I think that while the hitboxes would be cool, they would have to put the system reqs up to a 2 gig processor with 1 gig or ram, bare minimum. Until next year that's not gonna happen for most people.

The Maelstrom is the single best weapon in the game if you know what your doing with it.

And yeah, both of these ideas have been suggested before, personnally, I think AT MAXes would own.
