Since when do you have a weapon with a skull on it, in a zombie apocalypse?

since humans gained Alien Weapons (AR2)

Touche

I always wondered why we added the AR2 anyways.

[Zeno]

I think The reaper would be a good Idea. Cause the bezerker is a mental nutcase. he'd be the kinda person to put a trophy on his gun xD

[Holy]

Just for the record, putting skulls on the back of my uzi will make it stronger?

That is EXACTLY what is happening.

[Pufulet]

The skull has a magical eye and theres this red effect that circles slowly around the weapon to the tip of it.

So yeah its kinda a trophy

[Albino_Gunner]

I don't like the idea of class specific weapon progression. It just ads unnecisary complexity into the game and wouldn't make much sense. I wouldn't mind if it was something you had to earn such as if zerk can get 20k melle kills it can unlock the katana and no other class can, or if suppot gets 20k smg kills it can have a class specific smg that it has a chance of getting at 15 kills.

I would however want to see the sugestion were you can put the weapon you want to keep at the top of the list and turn off earning specific weapon types e.g shotgun. Some people might prefer the AR2 or the Saw (i think that's what it is).

hmm perhaps advanced users could get these difrent kind of weapons... perhaps and upgrade? or level?

there could be difrent weapons made by difrent kind of people like another competion for weapon... made with weapon construction kit ofc...

i shall talk to necro

[Pufulet]

Katana

NECROSSIN: uh oh

NECROSSIN: this thing is sharp

This is what I know so far about it:

• Damage 70
  
• Damage when in group 100+
  
• Longer Distance than Crowbar
  
• 55 Kills Required only for Berserker
  
• Swings faster than Crowbar
  

I get to test it tomarrow

[Lipton]

Omfg cant wait till Katana hits the server

[Griffon]

Katana is good

but we need a filler weapon for 55 score

as having 4x saw for like 15 kills is a tad evil muhaha

[Lipton]

no we dont need weapon for 55 kills, or maybe a new machine gun to 55

Going to upload it on SVN as soon as i'll check everything (today or tomorrow)

[shadows]

wow what a stupid thing to add anti vent camp

Edited January 25, 2011 by shadows

[Griffon]

Cant wait

is there any news on commando?

EDIT:

Got this bugged spawn in subversive part 1 behind the ticket booth in the centeral/spawn area

[Ywa]

NECROSSIN, please don't make such huge changes without discussing them first.

We won't update the server with that SVN version.

Anti-camp meter is crap. Plus weapons should still be received by the supply crates. And the random zombie spawn thing won't be disabled either.

I don't say we'll never change it. But I didn't really see a thread about it here.

[Holy]

• Disabled random zombie spawm

Back to spawn camping zombies?

Edit: Yes, I know the random spawn points got a good and bad side, for example huge maps with one spawn that gets camped from a roof, but really small maps with one house and 2 rooms are not benefiting of that system.

all i say to class based weapons is NO!

IMO it's a dreadful idea. I play zerk and with this idea i start with a plank and expected to get 25 point wil a plank to get a gun worth using. Really? i will be lucky to get 1 kill with a plank in the whole game let alone near the start and then i will only get t1 guns till 75 kills i mean seriously no. I like the weapon progression how it is.

The medic will also be pointless to play. Useless starter pistol, 10 kill to get a t1 postol then use that for another 5 kills for a t1.5 pistol then 10 kills later an assault rifle then no new wep until 75 points NO

and why would you need to put anti vent camping. The game is survival and if camping is how you survive then let it stay that way.

[Lipton]

Dont like the anti vent camp idea

Like class based weapon system, zerk need a start pistol too

I would really like the zombie spawn area, because zombies spawn in your fucking CADES and rape your ass, maybe make the spawn area so that zombies have immortality on spawn area or something like that

@albino_gunner

Its not too hard to get 25 kills with melee... even im lvl 0

And medics are for helping ppl, not too much on attacking, other ppl must protect medics so they can survive

[Doubleedge]

Yeah I have to partially agree with albino, I don't think custom weapon upgrades for classes is a good idea, plus there isn't a very wide selection of weapons in that system and engineer 40 kills before next upgrade!?

[Albino_Gunner]

get 25 kills with a plank because he is also proposing that we dont get weps till late game from crate.

I just think that it will over complicate the game unnecicarily and it will be escpecialy difficult to get new players to join and stay. It will also see a masive rise in commandos because they get good weapons easyer than any other class and it will be the new medic. Probably not but thats my thoughts.

[Pufulet]

actually its 15 kills to get axe, but melee kills count as 3 and i have plank and still get overall 30-50 kills average at end of match
