Whats Up With Pistols?

AvengerXAvengerX Join Date: 2004-03-20 Member: 27459Banned
<div class="IPBDescription">just something about the ammo</div> ok so like apparently a Marine can somehow manage to hold 5 clips for a LMG without pockets but only 3 clips for the pistol? the pistol clearly has smaller clips yet you can only have 3 of them?

marines even manage to hold a whoppin 2 spare clips for the HMG and thoose thigns are big I dunno how they do it but somehow they can't manage to carry some more extra ammo for the pistol

I don't think this makes sense at all and I just wanted your input on the matter

(how do marines carry anything for that matter, do they have pockets?)

    whats wrong with the rines packing a little more pistol ammo?

    and what are theese "scripts" you speak of

    Nothing. I'd like to see more pistol ammo, I run out all the time...

    How?

    The same way the marine in Doom carries all his guns

    The same way my FF party can carry 10 million dollars in cash, 99 of each healing item, and hundreds of weapons

    The same way the gorge carries enough bacteria to cough up all em chambers

    I hope you get my drift....



    If you dont, its the nanties...the nanties did it!

    exactly I run out all the time to, when your taking on a OC fortress and all you have is your standerd eqiupment its gonna take some fast moves and a but load of pistol ammo that you don't have as of right now I think that needs to change

    I know that its just a game and the whole bit about how and why was just to introduce my piont of the pistol needing more ammo

    You arent supposed to be able to take down a oc <i>fortress</i> by your lonesome.


    humping the armory a few times should not match 40-50 res's worth of ocs.

    well in my opionion a OC fortress should go down to a lone rine if the OCs aren't stratigically placed and have a few DCs healing them up

    It's pretty simple as this, LMG or replacment is your weapon, you live and die by it.
    Pistol on the other hand is a sidearm, as in not your main weapon.

    That's how it's set up and that's how your ammo is figured.

    It's mostly common sense, look at all of most other games. Pistol has the least amount of ammo because it's usually YOUR LAST DITCH SURVIVAL WEAPON. Or in NS case, a sniper pistol. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    well if the pistol sucks so bad then why shouldn't it have more ammo who cares I find the pistol a great wepon when two skulks jump you , you get the first one with your LMG then get the second with your pistol simple as that

    theres plenty of needs for the pistol but its lame how little ammo it has
  • CypherCypher Join Date: 2003-03-16 Member: 14579Members
    The knife is your "LAST DITCH SURVIVAL WEAPON." I use my pistol all the time, and and I dont use the LMG or the Pistol to take down one OC, as for a fortress of OC, or a WoL, I just ignore it...Or jump over if it's a WoL.

    If you dont boost ammo for pistol, atleast drop some ammo for lmg. Make it realistic <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Anyone who's ever seen a good pistoler knows why this shouldn't be done. It's fine the way it is.
  • AvengerXAvengerX Join Date: 2004-03-20 Member: 27459Banned
    no realistic isnt' what I want I just want some more ammo for my trusty dusty handy dandy pistol thats all, is that too much to ask?

    I'd actually agree to lowering LMG ammo, theres no good reason to have people run around with 300 total rounds right now. Max it out at 150 total, aka 100 spare rounds. Cuts down on the glorious humpage, and the ammohogging while dropping <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Because you can't get near him, that's why. One man with ammo support can hold off an entire team of skulks in a pub, it's sad. You have four clips for the pistol, six for the LMG, if you need more go back to base or whine at the comm, it's only one res per pack.

    what exactly is that suppose to mean? that game play is greater then realism?

    and whats wrong with a skilled marine taking down nubs? I just think it makes sense that the rine should have more ammo for his pistol since he already has so much for his LMG
