Robo Dojo 58 Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I'm sure you've seen them in TV shows or video games. A decent rifle, which has a grenade launcher for alternate fire. Maybe the rifle could be upgrade Such an improvement to the rifle will make it vastly more useful, and may not need too much balance. The grenade will be relatively weak, (weaker than normal grenades?) won't have autofire, and have very limited ammo. Maybe one or two shots, before you need to spend alot of time reloading. Such a change will make the rifle a very well rounded, if still a very weak weapon. It'll be better than a pistol, but still much weaker than the heavy weapons because of its limited ammo and power. On higher difficulties, the reduced power of the grenade would become painfully apparent, with loads and loads of reactionfire. It shouldn't be more powerful than a pistol+primed grenade combo. And it definately won't be as good as pistol+Xenium grenade. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Well, rifle-grenades are explode-on-impact weapons, so they're different from other grenades in that they would explode immediately. Nice advantage over others, even when they're weaker than regular ones. But then, it sounds like it's a HE round for the heavy cannon... so you'll have a rifle for cqb with some HE shells for out in the open, isn't that a bit much? It's more like a version of the cannon then with both HE AND AP loaded at the same time, so it'll definitely have to be weaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuoppi Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Normal launcher has to be reloaded after every shot and is fairly slow to reload, launcher is quite heavy also. Range and accuracy are mediocore... prob. worse than those of HC. (Although i've never seen a HC IRL... quite impossible weapon to exist it seems.) Grenades are quite heavy and larger than normal 'nades as they have the propelling charge in them also. The launched grenade is usually more powerful than throwed one. Smoke, flare, tear gas, napalm and other variations (invent some) can be launched also. IMO this is a great thing to have in game. Why didn't i think of it?

Jonaleth Irenicus Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Great idea, totally support it, 100%!!! Surely will need balance, but sounds great already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magstar Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Definitely sounds like a great idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
