Suggestion For Better Reins

Deathweaver · March 2003

Here is something quite simple that they could change in the next version that, I think, would make the Mariens a lot better.

Make the max amount of extra lmg ammo you can hold 150 and for the pistol 20, and as you get weapon upgrades they can hold more.

I find early game the worst for ammo humping.

How many times have you lost a game because everyone on your team is filling up ammo when the delayed rush comes and your whole team is eatten? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

1) This is not strategy.

2) Trying to force players to fix their bad habits by changing game mechanics is a bad idea. Just teach the players better. Changing the game mechanics for something like this will probably cause more trouble than it fixes.

He's right in the fact that it's not strategy, but it's a good idea, stick it in the Suggestions forum. Players that know what they're doing don't load up to more than 150 anyways, and when I tech up to lvl 2/3 weapons, it's easy to let your marines hump because you know they might live longer, and actually use that ammo. So... not bad.

I don't like that cuz more than half the time I actually use up all my ammo and end up having to kill myself to get more ammo.

V_MAN · March 2003

Same as giving the commander the ability to shut the armoury off will result in

n00b1: "comm the armoury isn't giving out ammo"

comm: "I know I shut it off to stop you humping it, move to your wp"

n00b2 "comm turn the armoury back on ffs"

comm: "NO, get through the phase gate now"

"***COMMANDER HAS BEEN EJECTED***"

Wouldn't it be better to let the marines take more ammo at a time.
I'm thinking entire mags, no the silly 1/2 ones.
I mean, why take half mags when you can grab full ones?

Armory humpers who dont listen to comm would never apply to clan play, and would hinder clan play because people in clans DO you their entire clips....

Then couldn't they just leave it as it is for the tournament play thingy?

lagger · March 2003

they have said they do not want to make two different versions of tournament and non-tournament games

Shockeh · March 2003

Funny, it depends how much you rambo or solo defend. I am PERMANENTLY running out of ammo. Always. But I do tend to go for long periods with no contact with spawn, and I don't ever run back for health. (What's the point, spending rez at 2 per shot on me, when I'm free?)

Trevelyan · March 2003

i just LOVE it when the commander is dropping me 27842348 health paks when i am SWINGING MY KNIFE AT 3 SKULKS!!!

True that getting ammo takes time, and time is valuable. Explaine to new people this equation

armoury humping = lose

and then when you do lose bring it up again, and again, and again until they get the picture

lagger · March 2003

see-you.. armory humping != or does not equal lose if the marine is good enough to use all of this ammo.

Dunkin_Dynamite · March 2003

I assume you are implying that the marine who is able to use all his ammo, this man in your mind, is a good player and can make appropriate decisions, as opposed to the possibility that he is invisible to aliens and has nonexistent aim.

I do go on killing sprees but I don't load to max. By the time I'm out I'm either majorly ramboing and distracting the enemy, or comm gives me a few and team backup has at last arrived.

AIRinc_FaReZ · March 2003

i dont trust myself with so much ammunition. bullets scare me. im scared they will explode in my face if i take too much. but im MORE SCARED OF MY LMG BLOWING UP WITHOUT ENOUGH BULLETS. NO NO 49/250 BULLETS ARE NOT ENOUGH! MY LMG IS NOT FULL! I WILL T3H DIE! OMG!!1!1!1!one
