Ability to adjust the fire rate/clip size of weapons?

Got a great new idea for the game?

Ability to adjust the fire rate/clip size of weapons?

Postby Paratrooper » Sun Mar 04, 2012 3:01 am

How about the ability to adjust the fire rate and clip size of guns? You could adjust the clip size to a maximum of 30 for SMG, 10 for rifle, and 6 for shotgun. We should also be able to reduce the firing rate of certain weapons (SMG/rifle).

This would allow versatility for weapons. You could reduce the fire rate of the SMG if you want to conserve ammo and regulate recoil.

Modders can also adjust the clip size of a weapon to it's real-life configuration. All modifications, though, only take effect on the person using it.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

I would suggest not allowing rate of fire changes because it could quite easily turn SMG into the ultimate recoil-less killing machine, but a single shot mode for SMG might be interesting.

I'm all for allowing people to reduce their clip size though. Reducing rifle or shotgun to say 1round clips won't cause any real change to the somewhat perfect existing weapon balance and reducing SMG clips will cause some hurt to your performance yet could be a good tool to teach ammo conservation imo.

Why not add different kind of guns instead of gimmicky and complex nonsense?

Because there isn't a point in having two automatic weapons in-game.

I don't really get it. Can't you just shoot in bursts or just click one at a time?

Err, what? If anything, this should be a server setting. It would be nice to have servers with different weapon mods that have different effects.

They can already change the weapon stats, just not the models.
