weapon suggestions

[[UIT] Akame]

As usual, you are way off the mark. If I was so wrong, then why would they have forums for posting ideas in the first place? Or why is there a category in the forums called "ideas and suggestions." Strange, isn't it. I would even go as far as to say your comments are trolling but that isn't my job.

There is an ideas and suggestions section so that people can post ideas and suggestions not random lists of weapons. They want to know what the community would like but at the same time they can't do everything, so they have to wade through the deluge of posts to search for something worth doing. They know their weapons (they made RO) so posting a list of weapons isn't helpful or constructive. Now if you can come up with easy to implement, balanced, niche weapons then perhaps TWI will look into it eventually.

You purchased the game because you wanted to play the game the devs made, not 'a create your own' game. Listing weapons off in any manner foolish, arrogant, and demeaning towards TWI.

how about some weapons you rarely see in shooters and are actually british weapons?

Why an M60 instead of the Brit varient of the FN MAG GPMG
Why the p90 when there's the Sterling smg

I mean , i'm surprised there's an M14 when there could have been the semi auto SLR varient of the FN FAL, and that the SS doesn't get the SMLE

I mean i know these weapons are old - and i'm not even saying they are needed - but why do british weapons get overlooked, when part of KFs character and charm is it's setting?
Everyone's weird

Well to be fair, in Britain the most dangerous things we are allowed to carry is a 3 inch knife and a can of mace...

MACE! Firebug weapon idea! Extra burning sensation at higher levels! Its pure gold!

Nah seriously I think people are much more familiar with these weapons (myself included), although as far as I'm aware British Armed Police tend to use Mp5 submachine guns, G36C assault rifles and MSG901 Sniper Rifles. Remington Shotgun as well I think.

There is no need to add these weapons as of course the Commando, Sharpshooter, Medic and SUpport Specialists are most certainly not in need of a new weapon. However it raises an issue of authenticity

@NOD
There is a lot of room for customization through the dev kit that comes with killing floor. Guns, maps, and characters can all be created. It takes little time to learn but lots of time to be good at so many people don't try. If you really want to see something though, you can make it happen.

Balance is key to any game being good. If they released heatseeking plasma missle knives that deal 2 million per hit and cost 2 pounds for 500 of them, then what would happen to the game. In the same vein a weapon might break the game when in combination with other perks or mods that all seem inoculous when seperately analysed. So you test and test so that there the game isn't broken with 6 man SS team with EBRs.
...
oh wait.


But both of you need to understand that KF isn't the only game TWI has and TWI isn't as a big dev group, yet they have treated their fan well and released cheap, quality games. Yet all they get is rabid players complaining about needing MOAR.

Ah, I was thinking of balancing as in damage-wise only but if you involve price, quantity, or a super unrealistic weapon, that changes everything!

And yes, you are absolutely correct about us savage requesters. I just personally feel this game needs way more guns because the idea of the game is just awesome and the thought of a way longer weapons list is even more exciting.

Another thing, like you said using their dev kit. I'm not a skinner/modeller myself but when it comes to requesting/searching for skins, I only get character skins or someone tells me that weapons/hand skins aren't possible to skin due to that it will corrupt your online play. Same thing with creating custom characters or an entirely new weapons model to replace something else.

Using custom files will preclude you from online play (which prevents cheating like players skinning on a long bar to their gun to aim which can't be seen from other people's version of the gun). Mutator fix this but are harder to work with. YoYoBatty just released a P90 mut and has released a rocket-powered chainsaw launcher before (look into the general mutator section).

And, if you consider creating new models a pain, I'm sure there are forumite(s) used to making 'em. TWI could launch a skin-building contest for current weapons (for instance, a player could create a skin to replace current ak-47 with another weapon).

That is the one, what I've trying to suggest. if we reskin the weapons, we could have a ****loads of weapons. Like Bullup->P90->M4A| MP7->MAC-10
->MP5a->UZI| katana->antique sword->Claymore etc. etc. etc.

Problem is, if TWI makes skinning free for everyone, there will ALWAYS BE those skin "cheaters" (don't know the correct term, sorry ) who'll just add a crosshair to the weapon's skin.

As I stated earlier, you can do this via mutator although I don't know how popular that is since people would have to download it when entering a server if they didn't already have the reskins. The other option is making a mutator that is a compilation of all the reskins so it can be submitted for approval (which is rather necessary for a mutator be become widely used) and downloaded in one go.

That is true, but if we make the huge amounts of weapon models, (Im sure that we have many ppl, who will be happily to make models and textures and coder, who can easilly add stats to em.) Then we just let TWI to put them in the game and VOLA! We have like 50 weapons, even if they are just reskins.
Im sure that we can even make/rec sounds to them.

Exactly, thanks Nibe. This way saves time/hard work for TWI, all they have to do is check the gun and whitelist it if it seems legit. If this idea can get accomplished there will never be a need for multiple weapon request threads ever again, and everyone will be satisfied! They might have to make a weapon submission category in the forums

I'll lose my love for Killing Floor if I see ACRs WA2000s AUGs SAWs and M16s in this British-themed game, to say the least. Authenticity ftw. *cough*BrenGun*cough*
