<div class="IPBDescription">Just a little idea</div>Hey guys, as I'm pretty sure UWE staff loves Alien(s) movies, and, as if I remember correctly they already think about a flamethrower attachment on the rifle, like you have one on the aliens' marine's rifle, what about some other purchasable modules as :

-Flamethrower (would be less powerful, have less ammo/magazines of course)
-Shotgun (like the FT module, less powerful ...)
-Flare launcher for the shotgun (would be useful for dark rooms and would fire DI/Kharaas)
-Nanite launcher ? (just joking but why not after all)
-Also, make the actual nade launcher as an attachment and let the original NS1 uber nade launcher come back, as a SUPPORT weapon.



I love the actual grenade launcher (in NS2) but I think it's not that useful, and if UWE boost it to a acceptable fire power (IE as a nade launcher should have) you won't have to take the choice : DO I take SG/HMG/whatever useful to attack/cover my mates <b>OR </b>Do I take the nice nade launcher, which has also a good CQB weapon (rifle).
My idea, which I think is fair, is to put both kinds of nade launchers, and, as I think if you make one attachment, it will be easy to make some more, put some of these attachments.

<!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Also, in order to not make them OP, you would not be able to fire both weapon and attachment weapon at the same time, they would be less effective than real support weapons and have low ammo but you would also have you rifle (and it would be cheaper).

I know UWE are working on performances/Adding all base features, but why not a post 1.0 feature ? I'd like to read your opinion and your ideas(no troll please).

    The Grenade Launcher is quite useful for taking down hydras, actually they are a very hard counter to hydras.
    I see no need to have all the weapons to, also be an attachment to the rifle, that just seem unneeded and kinda ridiculous.
    Although I agree that there could be an attachment or two more, to make the GL a tradeoff with whatever else we can come up with, having the welder on the rifle as an attachment could work in my opinion.
    A standalone Grenade Launcher is also unneeded.

    Reminds me of Redline: Gang Warfare 2066, where all weapons are incorporated into one single weapon which can transform into your selected weapon. The included melee weapon (a lawnmower thingy) can make you fly :P
