Ok so the latest content for KF gave you a new map and 2 new weapons(one melle and one firearm)

So i had a few ideas for weapons. First they should add like a sledgehammer. It has great power but its slow.

For the firearm i was thinking sub machine gun(mp5k) this game has dualwielding incorporated but only 2 weapons can do so.

I also wouldnt mind some kind of sniper rifle. Like a 5 round clip. I luv the crossbow but a sniper would be real nice. It would be more expensive and have slightly more power. but you cant pick up the bullets like with a crossbow and its more expensive(yes i know this has been posted before)


For a map i would like to see something outdoors. Like in a jungle or forest.

Gah... These keep on popping out like mushrooms after rain. :D

I personally think we already have all the weapons we need.
Dual wielding 2 SMG's? Okay, the accuracy would have to be so appallingly that it would be much better to have one bullpup for easier control.

Sniper rifle, well, we already have one ridiculously powerful weapon for taking out everything, and it is Crossbow. Having a weapon with even MORE damage and ammo capacity would just turn the game balance tits up. I'd much rather have something with damage similar to Winchester rifle, but with a scope and quick reloading clips/magazines, with the trade-off of smaller ammunition capacity.

Not sure what to make out of the Sledgehammer, you may want to try the fire-axe first and see if it satisfies your need to hit things with blunt-ish weapons. I don't think adding another melee weapon would be a good idea, now that we already have the katana. :)

I'd say try to think what role these weapons would fill in the game and imagine how useful they would be, and how they compare to all the other weapons available. If they ar emore or less the same as everything else then obviously there is little point. And consider that if it is too powerful, it would break the game balance and push the developers to increasing the difficulty level, which would cause uproar with all the other perk players, which would cause an endless gameplay tweaking limbo, where no-one is ever happy with changes (a bit like now ;) ). :rolleyes:

There is one more melee weapon. The big huge pipe. They did not put it in the official game. However it is an option on map building. Played with it a little. Did not like it to much. That may be due to it did not really recognize it when you had it in your hands. LOL. It worked though. Your weapons screen would be blank.

Personally i would like some different gametypes.
Maybe something involving player v player in an original way.
Maybe some huge boss levels with basically enemies that are 5 story buildings high.
I would definitely like a new ingame hud and some more spiffy menu settings (incase there will be a free weekend at some point).

For me most major weapons etc are there, if something weapon like were to be changed i would much rather have a different melee fighting system.

Something like oni or whatever (in oni left mouse was punch right mouse was kick, that in combination with movement and jump keys allowed you to make combos and stuff like a classic fighter game but then in a true 3d environment).

----

Pretty much i would primarily prefer something that would make the game feel completely new again for a while. I mean different weapons with the exact same function dont hold my attention that long.

Dual Uzi + sniper rifle that could only be shot if you're crouch down.

And a team versus mode, 2 team hold 2 position, shop always open, unlimited zed. Whoever die first lose.

Don't you think beserker has enough weapons?

Especially when no one even uses any of 'em besides the Chainsaw and Katana! Make the Machete and Fire Axe useful before you add any more weapons onto "It's nice that they're there, but I'll never use it" pile...

I always thought that you could nerf the crossbow's penetration to the same as the Handcannon, then have a sniper rifle with lower damage than the Crossbow, but the large penetration. This way, we've created a high damage Weapon for the bigger targets and a high penetration weapon for the swarms of smaller units. Gives the Sharpshooter perk a few different tactical choices, depending on the Perks that the rest of the team has. For example, if you have a high level Firebug, there's not so much need for the High Penetration weapon, since Firebug can take care of all the multitudes of weak enemies. It also works vice versa, where the team has no Firebug, but needs to rid the area of mobs of weak enemies. In this case, the Sharpshooter opts for the Scoped Rifle. I could see it working.

How about some Nagitana or yari or the japanese long bow?
Arisaka rifle maybe?

Give me Gewehr 41. That is all I want. Ignore the top portion I was just venting about katana.

What on earth would a british special forces soldier be doing wielding a longbow?

And no self-respecting team of elite soldiers would use dual smg's. this isn't halo, there isn't akimbo everything. it's cheesy. if you need more then 1 gun to get the job done then maybe you should go back to halo and L4D. Just cuz you CAN put something in doesn't mean you SHOULD.
