Some old ideas in a new way

I have seen some ideas (gunslinger) on the forms and haven't seen them change at all and that is what was holding them back from being liked. This thread is for ideas that have been renewed (or NEW ideas) where they were inspired or improved from old ideas. Don't post old ideas the same way.

One of my ideas is RUNNER (class)(based on gunslinger)
This class is a fast, mobile class, who is like berserk but uses guns. They use the 9mm pistol, Magnum, and Mac-10(no longer firebug). They get a speed boost, discount on their weapons, and a damage and reload buff for their weapons.

Spas-12 (tier 3 firebug)
I know, its like the one from Cod, but thats not why i did this gun for this class. I did it because it fits in the Kf style and the class needs a power weapon. It uses slugs and can be swoped from semi and pump. Pump does a ton of damige but it takes 1 second(or more) to pump the gun and semi does good damige but is less powerful and acurit then pump. You can hold about 80 shells. It is a civl model so it holds 5 shells and to reload you hold it upside down holding a button(you need to hold it to reload the real one) and after that, you put the shells in at the same as the normal shotgun, 7-8 wieght. Incidery sluges are only for firebug.

Red 9(tier 1 firebug)
An old machine pistol that is simler to the Mac-10 but is more acurit but with a way loner reload to balance it. It has a visible 9 thats red on the left side of the gun. An idea that i had, but if you think of a better one, do say.

M-14 combat scope
People hate (so do I do) that the M-14 ebr dosn't have a combat scope and I think I have an idea. Rather then add a perminet one, you have a M-14 and a M-14 ebr (c is for costom) where the M-14 is auto/semi, no scope, no lazer, and the M-14 ebr is semi, scope, and lazer (+1 wieght). The auto on the M-14 is slowish but you can still shoot it faster on semi.

SL8(tier 2 sharpershooter, doesn't replace xbow)
A rifle that is semi auto and has a x2 scope. It has the same damige as a bullpup but it has a 10 round mag and super acurit. It has a about 100 rounds(10 mags) but a slowish reload. Its is a standerd model with no rails but only 6 weight.


If you have an idea, post it and see how people like it, but don't come up with a stupid idea.

Runner Class - Bad idea. 'Runner classes' make a mockery of the game. The Bezerker is tolerable (not really) in that while he can kite he needs to engage in melee, but can kill every specimen 1v1 in the safest way possible.

Spaas12 - Support specialists specialise in shtoguns. Firebug is THE crowd controller, he doesn't need to be able to tackle heavies. It's a team game.

Red9 - Mac-10.

M14 Scope - The point of NOT giving the M14 a scope but an extremely accurate while moving red dot is to keep it balanced as a short/med range weapon. The iron-sights are inten tionaly for this. If yuo want long range precision get the Xbow. You shouldn't have long range pinpoint precision to kill med-heavy specimens with a rapid fire weapon, because it would be too easy. You need to be skilled to use the M14 to it's full effect, let's keep it that way. However, I would like to see a change to make dual 9mils more accurate so that a Xbow SS will have some fun rapid fire killing ability, not sitting back waiting for a priority target.

SL8 - LAR. As a sidenote however, a lvl6 SS with the bullpup does the same extra % damage as a Commando gets for his rifles, if he hits in the head. So, why not just get a SCAR instead of this weapon, it kills trash in 1shot and the M14 or LAR is for the heavies with this setup. Basicly, it's not needed.

Just so people know what a Red 9 is, it's a Mauser C/96 chambered in 9mm Luger.

I know the runner class isn't the best idea, but have you seen anyone really change the gunslinger class idea. But all i said was they get a speed boost and all the standerd buffs.

Is it a game where you really rely on you team. Almost every class has a power weapon, Support has hunting shotgun, sharpshooter has xbow and m14 ebr, demo is all power, berserk has katana, commando has the scar, medic is meant to be healing (but still needs new weapons), and all classes have a weapon for weaker enemies. So why shouldn't firebug join in with power weapons.

The Sl8 is an idea i had a few minutes before i posted. I was thinking of a weapon that is like the LAR and the M14 but is way weaker so it is better to take out weaker enemies but is really bad agents anything bigger.

As i said, the Red 9 is a idea that i had but didn't really think it was a great idea, but isn't to terrible.

M14 ebr with a scope i know is a talked about subject, but they really need to fix the iron sights and i think everyone will shut up about it

i think: No... the perks are already balanced, we just need more "ways" of play... the gunslinger perk, would be just a sharpshooter with more types of pistols... wich can be very nice in close quarter maps. i would like to see added some gun beetween the 9mm and the .50 hc, something .40 or the like, have less ammo than 9mm but punches more. other addition could be a nice big masculine revolver, wich punches a lot but reloads so slow that the sharp needs to really care the shots (the reload can be similar to bulldog m32 of demo). said this, the sharp gains new ways of being played or weapons to select... works the same 4 other perks.

about a new perk, i'd like to see a new "soldier" perk, wich have bonus with heavy weaponry like law, and has some "static" weapons, like a heavy mg or mortar, etc. this perk can be taken as a support perk like a medic or firebug (as marker and weakener), but it's designed for long range. weapons: british bren lmg, a mortar, m32/law maybe, satchel charges (u most detonate em). i think i could be fun to play, the bren lmg to be fired accuratedly u must be crouching, on standing up u shuffle a bit, so can only take care of near zeds. the crouching position aiming is slow couse it needs to set the bipod of the gun, same as standing up. the simbol of the perk could be a gatling gun wich can be added as a tier 4 weapon.

sorry if my english is bad :p

cheers!

I like how the last two people have gotten the idea that this thread isn't just about my ideas, but is for new veson of old ideas or just new ideas to be shown without needing new threads. I just did a new gunslinger because i know some people support it but the last idea is overpowerd. But I do love Aze's idea, might need some fine tooning and balinching.

your supposed thread subject directly contradicts your thread title and OP.

I doesn't, i just did a bad job at titleing and didn't mention i want people to say their ideas.

lets see, your thread titel says old ideas in a new way, implying that these are your takes on old ideas, and hence a discuassion on how to improve the old ideas, you even reinforce this when you say "where they were inspired or improved from old ideas", and as far as i can tell, nothing in your post apart from the FB smg is a new thing, or something that hasn't been suggested before, so again, you just rehash old suggestions, then you claim that the thread is about something else entirely... good luck with that, may i suggest that in future you say what you mean.

"One of my ideas is RUNNER (class)(based on gunslinger)"
I don't think we need another damage perk (as I said in the agent/recon class thread) what I think we need is another playstyle.

"Spas-12 (tier 3 firebug)"
I'd say think smaller, incendrey rounds in a shotgun makes more sense then a MAC10 so I'd rather give the FB a compact shotty.

"Red 9(tier 1 firebug)"
I feel this might be a bit redundent.

"M-14 combat scope"
Just fix the damn iron sights and I'd be more than happy.

"SL8(tier 2 sharpershooter, doesn't replace xbow)"
Why not, I'd be up for giving it a go at least.
