Would you like to see more real life or sci-fi weapons in the game?
- Thread starter HunBonus
- Start date
I want more normal weapons. Since the release of Microwave, i would like to see some energy/electric weapons too...
Shame the poll doesnt allow multiple choices
There will be electric weapons, just a matter of when.
Yeah I feel the same way. KF1 had a few fictional weapons that were restricted to DLC (and thus rarely seen) but I think it struck the balance just fine. Fictional weapons in KF2 seem like too much right now because they're a noticeable chunk of the available weapons. I'd just wait for more to come out.
Yeah, light machine guns are missing big time. I dont see how electric weapons made it into the game before machine guns. Maybe balance issues. A 200 rounds mag heavy hitter can't really be balanced for this game, since recoil is generally not a big thing here.
i prefer the real life weapons. Tripwire does an excellent job at modeling those weapons.
Kar 98 to use with Sharpshooter when it comes out.

I like the real stuff the most, but a mix is good.
About 70% real stuff, 15% scifi, and 15% other fictional.
And particular perks with different proportions than others; firebug being mostly fiction is fitting, but hopefully they'll keep it real for sharp.

why?
it's specifically a Directed Energy Weapon, that focuses specifically on the Microwave band.
how would naming it 'Radiation gun' be less silly? you'd literally be naming it 'all forms of Energy' 'Gun'.
saying Microwaves in particular implies it's a specific Band of Radiation, rather than effectively saying 'space energy beam thing that shoots stuff'.
it also explains why Enemies explode. instead of dissolve or melt or Et Cetera.
sold. "i'd buy that for a dollar!".

"Microwave gun" makes it great for nerds. Course obviously it's not perfectly realistic or anything, but still cool that they specify microwaves.
- after i figured out what you were saying here, that made my day. *shakes fist* Google Plus making me think it was a reference to a person.
- *shrugs* yes/no? theoretically if you take an Energy Emitter, and 'shape' the emitted energy with an exterior force (probably magnetic), you could make a 'beam' out of pretty much anything.
same general concept applies to Plasmatic Weaponry... it could work, we just can't test it of course. but Encapsulated Plasmatic Projectiles could work.
just as the Hardlight Theory proves that Lightsabers can technically exist, though putting them into Combat use where you're moving it around is highly questionable, more likely just limited to inside a science lab.

Well mainly what's unrealistic about it is the big flashy beam it makes (pretty sure you wouldn't see anything) and I'm really not sure whether or not it would pop someone; I'm leaning towards that it wouldn't.
They do have laser pointers strong enough to melt trash bags, light matches on fire and burn paper so really a weapon that can burn something with a laser is not that rediculous.

Vidjya Game does state that you'll need to be able to see it, as otherwise you have no feedback on what's going on.
a mandatory compromise, i guess.
yeah, it's pretty unlikely by the time you Kill someone that enough Steam would build up (so a couple seconds) to cause them to explode.
and if you could pump enough Energy into them to do so:
1 - wow, this is an incredibly dangerous Weapon, just by being near the Apex you're going to be almost as dead as the dude in front of you.
2 - if you can generate and pump that much Energy, you can do it in a more efficient way
3 - would probably turn into cinders from spontaneous combustion before they explode anyways.
Vidjya Game rule of cool as ever. making Enemies explode is cool and being able to see what's going on is rather important.
