New Abilities? | Forums

Bump!

I want this ability!

[gameshoes]

I like the game as it is right now, but eventually the game's going to feel 'old' and since there's no obligatory feeling to play it since it's mostly free (as in you didn't invest $50-60 on it) it's easy to drop; so we may need to think of some new ideas to put into the game eventually. So it's mainly going to come down to new classes or new special abilities.

Making a new class will require more thought so I'm just going to stick with new special abilities.

Do note that these probably aren't balanced well.

  • Description
    
    • While in cover, the specialist plants himself on the cover he is using and temporarily gains an infinite amount of ammunition to unload onto enemies.
    • Shots fired will create an area-of-effect where enemies will be slowed, and disoriented (suppressed).

Beefjerky I do not like grenade launchers and explosives.

I do not like them. I have played enough games with noobs/narbs/******s/ and pains in my *** running around with explosives.

the lmg sounds cool. i wouldn't mind giving that a test.

and the decoy should be a placement device, not the Halo like decoy generate and runs from your body. that too sci-fi.

[warghost819]

While the LMG effect sounds cool, quite honestly if you know how to use your LMG conservatively it really is like having infinite ammo.
Also, what about the recoil on that? People are just going to spray their hearts out and just using burst is just as good as not having it all.
The slow will be OP in my opinion, once the first shot hits, you're target is screwed 4 ways from Sunday. You could reduce it to 5 or 8%.

Perhaps you've given anywhere from 50 to 150 rounds of the ammo upon a full recharge and use, then load them instead of magnum.

Sorry to burst your bubble but somewhere in one of the many post now in the forums DEVS already stated no GL's will show up in GR:O. And personally that would be way OP considering the way the maps are set-up. And personally IMO NOOB TUBES ruin a game.

I agree that explosive spam is a game killer, and not something we want in GRO. I have this suspicion that there will, unfortunately, be some form of GL added. Like any good reporter, I won't reveal my source on this, but don't be shocked when it happens.

I hate people like you who set your servers up so that I get kicked and banned for killing people with a smoke-grenade launcher.

[warghost819]

Have you ever been hit in the head with a grenade? Also, have you ever considered any of the enemy players have Asthma?! How insensitive are you?! Maybe they're allergic to smoke grenades like I am to bullets and will DIE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

[Freelancer852]

40mm Grenade to the head will kill you, regardless of payload type.
