Not to be rude, but isn't that a tad hypocritical?
It would be if I was completely disagreeing. I merely said that while I don't like the idea of something so similar, though even less useful, the idea of using a "outdated" weapon has some merit. If they fire about the same caliber, but the LAR loads and fires faster, whats the point?
I could use this IDENTICAL quote to say the same about my Lee-Enfield suggestion.
How does the lee-Enfield differ from a lever action rifle in terms of function? They both fire a single shot, with a manual action. Gameplay differs very, very little. Different skins are nice, but lets start with function over looks.
I'd like to think of my Auto-Beretta as flavor, if this is the case.
Why argue with you when you do a very good job of doing most of it for me?
Considering most people have shot down the idea, apparently, it wasn't a very good one. My opinion about it has changed recently, as you might have noticed. So quoting something I said a while back really does nothing to reinforce a point.
In what way is it massive? In nearly every way, it's considerably smaller. It'll be doing less damage than the standard shotgun and wont even have that good a chance of reaching that damage because of the spread. What's more, the Firebug wouldn't actually be able to carry a 5-slot weapon alongside their flamethrower and a zerker would have no use for it anyway, since they're built for close combat in the first place. It's not like they'll have the penetration bonus of the support class, is it? Alongside the fact that i never quoted it as cheap, I conclude that this weapon would by no means be a cure for bad teamwork, rather a handy tool for a player who has sacrificed a longer range sidearm.
But it would either be easily beaten out by melee weapons, being cheaper, and just as effective, and never used. Or too powerful and completely beat out the melee weapons. There needs to be a balance.
Though I will admire your predictive skill, as I do in fact despise Modern Warfare. Removing the whole WWII element made it so.......boring imho.
To each their own. Bayonets was a refreshing addition, but the game just seemed like it was of a much lower quality (world at war). Likely due to the team. Supposedly they alternate which team, each game.
Edit: I didn't intend this to be any kind of flame post. I just don't see your reason for disagreeing when you suggest such similar weapons yourself.
