New Concepts in War

Ideas that would go great in MC-War (Edited Edition):
-Gun/Ammo drops; Really useful when you need more ammo or a new gun. How it works is that when a guy dies, his PRIMARY weapon drops and to pick it up you need to have your current primary weapon in hand, crouch, and press the Q key (credit goes out to BrawlerAce_). You can't pick up prestige or donor weapons though. For the ammo, you need to have a gun that uses the ammo to pick it up upon the enemy's death.
-New killstreaks; I know, next update, more killstreaks (it might help to put a sign up stating about them). But I will edit in some killstreaks that might be cool below.

Killstreaks:
-ODIN; Yay! Oh, wait, didn't the US blow that up? Lets just forget that happened a go on with the explanation. So how this works is that when activated, you get tp'ed up in the air, you can fly (at a certain height), and can rain on people with TNT rods of doom! On contact with the ground, the rods will send a shockwave (particles) that extends to 10 blocks (maybe 7?) wide. Best bet is to make the rods 5 blocks long and make it so that the player has a limited time to fire the rods and there will be a limit to how many rods you have (5 or 7). Controls would be left click-zoom, right click-fire. How many kills it takes to get this killstreak is 25
-Artillery Strike; Use some artillery and bombard some enemies out of there hiding spots (I'm looking at them campers)! How this killstreak works is that when activated, it will teleport you in the air (like the ODIN killstreak and you can select a location (right click) on where you want to bombard. You get tp'ed back, and the area you selected will start to generate firework sparks. Then, boom! TNT rains the ground and explode! You need 18 kills to get this killstreak.

 

I like the idea about getting ammo if you have a gun that uses the same ammo. For a counter with the gun drops, how about you can't drop Prestige or Donor weapons and only "normal" guns will drop.

PS: By classes, you mean like Private, Commander, Sergeant, kind of like CoD?

 

Neat, I like that. What about the idea about the counter for gun drops?

 

Hmmmmm, good point. Switching primaries and secondaries is a big problem because if some guy carries 2 Assault Rifles, it's not gonna be good. How about a trading screen so they can trade guns and evenly. Actually, that's a great idea!

I detail about the idea using a trading menu to pickup and drop weapons and ammo. There will be chest that spawns in (or nearby) a dead person's place. Upon opening it, a player sees a trading screen with the arrows to flip between weapons. They can switch their weapons with the new ones. I haven't thought how the ammo will be picked up. Also the chest will despawn 15 seconds without touching it.

 

Okay, I will edit my original post. It will contain potential ideas, ideas I might of came up with, and some explanations. I will not include rejected and already or soon implemented ideas. Hope people will get a better view with this.

 

For Invader42, the counter was that you can trade primary and secondary guns evenly.......let me explain. When a player find a dead body (or something else, suggested by Parkman1221) and right click it, you get brought to the trading screen like with villagers,. After, you can trade your old weapon with a new one but, primaries have to be traded with primaries and secondaries have to be traded with secondaries. Also, you can't trade with donor or prestige weapons (maybe unless you have a prestige or donor weapon in inventory but that's a dumb idea).
For Parkman1221, think about it. Some guy is in some future war. Kills an enemy, goes over to get so new weapons, and there's a sniper on the roof aiming at the guy. Boom! Headshot! Thus, when you're picking up weapons, you are vulnerable. PS: Using the body as a shield is a good idea when you're under fire, just making it so that the body despawns in 15 seconds makes it a temporary hiding spot.

 

Holding primary weapon + sneak + drop key. Great idea. As for secondaries, well, in combat, there is rarely a time you even use a pistol so it should be left out of it. I will update the list and give credit to you. Thanks.

PS: Can someone post the killstreaks below and how many kills it takes to get them. Thx.

 

2 things I changed/added to the main post. 1, I made it so that ODIN killstreak is 25 kills. 2, I added a new killstreak, Artillery Strike. And just something I want to add, I've seen too many disagreements already so before you hit that x button, put why you disagree to this thread and I might fix it.
