Riiiiiiiiiight

Instead of bringing back great models like these into the game



They want to bring in a crossbow into the 29th century.

I am confused. For as much fun as it might be, I just don't feel it fits

Why crossbows?

Because crossbows and bows are in now.

Crysis 3, Farcry 3, CODBLOPS2...etc.

And if we make our game more like those other games, we can attract more players and shit.

Expect incoming ballistic knives soon.

I would probably use one on my infiltrator. But I also can't see where they would fit. We already have pistols, SMGs for close quarters and semi autos with silencer for medium.

Obligatory Statement: Just because CoD and BF3 have crossbows doesn't mean PS2 needs them.

Joking: What's next, a siege catapult for launching players over fortifications?

Admission: I actually want that now that I think about it.

Seriously though.
It's less about the crossbow and more about what it represents to fans. I do not care one way or the other. But they had to know this would cause some serious forum and twitter flames.

RadarX is gonna be mad busy.

But hey! Isn't that what the roadmap is for?

HI, MY MAIN BATTLE RIFLE IS A SUPERCHARGED GAUSS RIFLE THAT HOLDS 100 ROUNDS AND CAN EMPTY IT INSIDE HALF A MINUTE, ITS RECOIL WOULD PROBABLY SEVER YOUR ARM FROM YOUR BODY WITHOUT ARMOR. MY ARMOR HAS THE CAPABILITY TO STOP EXPLOSIVES IN THEIR TRACKS AND HAS A SHEILD THAT LAUGHS AT BULLETS.

And you propose a CROSSBOW can do anything worthwhile?

... Wut?

I could accept this as long as it's infiltrator only stealth weapon, with high risk. Could encourage the squads of snipers sitting at the back to come a bit closer since it's "CoD-cool".

I would not mind crossbows for zip line squad insertion by infiltrators but as weapons??? Well...maybe circumstances/climate/atmosphere on another continent would dictate the use of a crossbow or lower tech weapons?
