?

Should this crossbow nerf be implemented into Mc-war?

    NO! The crossbow's reload is about 1-2 seconds. Which is pretty long in the middle of a fight. Other than that as long as it's not getting it's damage shut off I'm happy.

    I think he means the time it takes to pull back the string

    Im in for it. I lost my 20ks w/ the m16 to a lvl 1 noob who spammed arrows. This would make it like in cod when you have to load each arrow at a time after one shot.

    It seems like the XBOW from BF3. That would be cool in my opinion.... But charging it also give us us a challenge. (a little)
    Maybe keep the charge, but it doesn't explode unless you charge it a certain amount? I honestly don't know for sure...

    I agree, this would keep players from spamming the fire button as soon as they see a player within 10 blocks of them!

    This would be a great advantage to our community. However, there could be changes. Like @BrawlerAce_ said above, maybe you could make it so that when you pull it back all the way, it explodes. However, I can tweak that a little. You should make it so that the more you pull it back, the more powerful the explosion. For example:
    When you pull it back all the way, it would do the same explosion it does at the moment.
    When you pull it back half way, it would do 3/4 of the damage it normally does.
    When you pull it back a tiny bit (when you spam it :V) it does 1/4 the damage it normally does.

    yes...i think that this would work, instead of making it harder, just punish spamming by making it do 2 hearts of damage

    I like that idea it would make it better because people wouldn't spam so much

    I've had the cbow quite a while now and don't use it much anymore, but not many people use it. I don't think it needs a nerf though

    Explain how this doesn't need to be nerfed.

    The crossbow is interesting. It is only usable in certain situations and is only better than the non-donor guns if you are playing with 40+ people on a medium sized map. Personally, I like that the crossbow behaves like a normal bow. In my opinion, it takes skill to use the crossbow effectively and it does not need a nerf or change. We don't need what happened to the Law (R.I.P. Law) happening to the crossbow.

    The ray gun should be nerfed first.
    When it's not nerfed yet, no crossbow nerf.

    no, this shows what he was able to throw 5 or so arrows unto enemy spawn in 2 seconds repeatedly. causing everyone in that area to die as soon as there spawn resistance went down. A reload nerf to the cbow is needed to keep the chow becoming a "pay to win" gun

    And that kids... is why it needs a bit of a nerf, on some maps with like 70 people... so many cbows... all I can hear is the sound of the cbow going off and the explosions...

    What's there to nerf about it? It's better than the LAW when it was a 1 hit kill with splash damage! It's better than the real raygun in CoD Zombies! Unless you have SPOT ON accuracy you're not going to get many kills. It's basically the LAW but it just shoots faster. It's fine man. Let it go!

    Talked to 8vo about it weeks ago.
    It is getting nerfed.
    You can let it go.
    It is a LAW with a larger clip, better firerate, and perfet hipfire accuracy.
    And the excuse of "ammo" doesn't work well considering most donators have scavenger anyway.
    Requiring the need to scope won't kill the Ray Gun.

    1. Maybe...
    2. "Straight as an arrow"
    3. If you get a hit, the explosion will kill you
    4. Agreed.

    ONTOPIC:
    If you would have said "Fix the xbow glitch" or something like that, you would have been flawless for me.
    I want those changes. GJ

    The only problem i find with the crossbow is that annoying double kill.It can ruin a 40-1 to a 40-3 this is a problem but i like how it is harder to aim.
