CC had wire cutters, and it would actually be really nice to see them in rohos. Always blowing things up with satchels leaves such a mess and instantly alerts the enemy what you're doing, it would be nice to use wire cutters instead.

and satchels get players kicked for TKs becuase a bunch of nubs run up the barricade before the charge goes off :D

glad you thought of this. CC did a great job with them. do you remember whether or not they just on the Dovinoka (spelling....the one at night with the naval infantry) map or other maps as well?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Satchels are a pretty silly way to clear wire now that you mention it.

I've lost count how many times that happened to me.

"nub engineers blow up the fences", the engineer blows up part of the fence and gets session ban for teamkilling 10 guys. Or same, but one of these complainers kill the engineer to take satchels but the result is similiar :D

and what's even worse is when you add that to the potential for massive arty TKs at the first cap from the russian SL :eek: all the while SL says "arty coming here" and engineer says "satchel planted!" yet people run into death like deer looking into headlights. i actually sometimes think they do it on purpose so you get kicked and they can take your class :D

While still on topic of wirecutters and the posts about physx. I would like to make a suggestion. Wirecutter melee! Cut your opponent's fingers and stuff and have the finger dangle by the skin REALISTICALLY by using PhysX ;)

yeah in CC you could only bash, but that would be pretty funny if you could take little snips at enemies :D

Great idea, imagine the scene: you see an enemy MG dug in just above you, but you're out of nades so you cant clear him out. Suddenly the MG sees a bunch of soldiers in the distance and opens fire, but he can't hit a thing and the bullets fall out the end of his gun because you've CLIPPED HIS GODDAMN BARREL OFF!

Also a handheld tank launcher gun that launches Tigers or IS2s would be nice. Obviously it might be unbalanced so just make it bolt action to keep it reasonable.

This kind of sarcasm is suited for stupid ideas, not for valid ones. :rolleyes:

^ agreed.

this is probably one of the simpliest, yet best ideas suggested as of yet. granted i think zets was inspired from my posting of CC's features in another thread :p i'm still glad he thought to post about this specific feature in its own thread. :)

like lemon said, trolling rediculously stupid suggestions is one thing, but to do that to a great suggestion is pretty lame :rolleyes:

I dont think KingLol is out of line... he's just commenting on the ridiculousness of having melee snipping capabilities with wire cutters, a view which I happen to agree with. IMO that would be excessively gory and gross: not something I want to see in a game. A bash melee or some kind of awkward bayo jab would be fine with me, but I don't see any reason for clipping at people.

Aside from that though, Wire cutters for clearing objects is brilliant, so

+ 1

I can imagine a lot more stealth involved in trying to complete objectives with this feature, which would be far and away an improvement to the bags of candy (not that they should go of course! Just some more variation is always welcome)
