    A lot of you guys have been talking about how crossbow is OP, it needs to be nerfed, etc. and so I came up with an idea go actually had for a long time, I was just too lazy to post it.

    Crossbow Nerf/Change:

    1. Give it a fire rate of a Barrett but a little faster.
    2. Give it a clip size of 3 with a reload of somewhere around the Python.
    3. Make it like the flamebow in WarZ, where you don't have to pull it back, it just shoots it's arrow as if you had pulled the normal bow back all the way at full power automatically.

    This would balance it, and make it WAAAY more like really Call of Duty. Also, give the damn bow a texture. It has been, what, 8 months and it still looks like a bow? Oh and these changes would also help the bow probably, I know a lot of people would prefer this over our current bow.

    Please give me the hate at [email protected], but refrain from posting too much here.

    I like these suggested changes! It would be nice not to have to pull back with the Cbow.

    If you're going to make it fire instantly like the flame bow, may I suggest that it have a reduced range? Maybe max of about ~40 blocks, that's still high in my opinion, but I mean, c'mon, you're already using a weapon that is notorious with having range issues, from medieval times to today, and you're shooting a f*cking explosive feather tipped rod, c'mon.
    But I actually do like this idea quite a bit.

    Agreed. These changes would help balance it out a lot.

    These changes would not make the crossbow too op. So people will now stop spawn camping at 2fort CTF spamming arrows from the crossbow. #agreed

    Whoops, forgot to put that.
    Somewhere around Python's reload.

    I know bro, I was saying that you wouldn't have to pull it back, the arrow would fire at full power once you hit right click, so the 15-20 blocks the bow already shoots would be shot every time you clicked right click.

    Here is my thought on this.
    YES!
    The cbow needs to be a damn gun, not the weapon indians created thousands of years ago.
    There will be a clip, because there is a clip for it in B02.
    There are two types of bolts that a crossbow has: normal or explosive. I'd rather have normal bullets so that you need to get a direct hit, not a general area to hit.
    No pullback. Agreed. In fact, any would it have to be a bow item? The server would have to constantly have a command running or something that stops the bow from pulling back, so a different item would be better.
    It should be like a sniper: Headshot = OSK and Bodyshot = 18 HP damage per bullet.
    There should be an arrow entity flying out of the gun, and it not be shot by the bow.
    The hip accuracy in BO2 is fairly high, so maybe if it turns into a gun, not an explosive bow, it will have decreased hip range, and a sniper-like aimed accuracy.
    The crossbow iin B02 has no arch, therefore I don't see the purpose in the explosive bow that could be spammed.
    I'd rather it be a crossbow that has to be aimed and has a slow firerate, with no explosive damage.
    Also, the lethal radius is hardly one block for a crossbow in BO2, and there is no way to evade a direct hit explosive bolt, and you will die (which doesn't happen ATM).

    It does have an arch in BO2.
