War 2.0 Ideas

Could there be...
any statistics other than ammo?
Damage? Bullet type? Fire rate?

 

Like what does it shoot. Like how the ray gun shoots a beam, cbow shoots an arrow, most guns shoot snowballs, etc.

 

Maybe make the intervention a higher level, I don't want people within the first week to have 1 shot snipers already...

 

Much like the sniper unlocked by default, which also can one-shot on headshots?

 

On war yes, we're talking about war 2.0. Also if the default sniper on war 2.0 is 1 shot that needs to be nerfed (kinda obvious).

 

I disagree. I think that all it needs is to be harder to hit headshots. I think that if new players can't get fun, effective kills, they're more likely to leave than if they can. Hitting headshots is really quite satisfying, and something like that would be a sure way to keep new players in the server. Maybe it could be a gun you unlock very quickly, but still be weak enough that it can't dominate games, even in good players' hands. The best balance for a gun is something that's fun for whoever's using it, but isn't completely broken. Making it harder to hit headshots would make it fun for the user when they hit headshots, and would encourage them to keep practicing. It would also be balanced, because it would be hard to use to its fullest potential.

 

I do agree with what you said but is it actually possible to make it harder to hit headshots? I am not experienced with code at all, just wondering. Also I was basing my opinion on the current hit box for a headshot on war, not a smaller hit box as you suggested. Anyway, if people that just start off basically have the same weapon or capability you have as an experienced player, what motivates a person to keep playing? Maybe making a higher level sniper easier to one shot, because keeping everything totally equal might demotivate people from playing and ranking up.

 

If it's not possible to make it the head hitbox smaller, it could be something along the lines of having only a certain % chance to get headshot damage on a headshot. That way it would put a cap on how good people can be with it, so it's not too overpowered.

 

Just saying, I think the LSAT looks way to overpowered. Since it has such a high amount of bullets in each clip, many people would be spraying this weapon. The weapon does 4 hearts. This is a maximum of 3 hits if you hit someone's body. With such a high bullet amount and damage, this could definitely change the game significantly.

 

Nice ideas but the guns for War 2.0 were designed a long time ago

As stated above, the M200 Intervention is already a thing. After debating this a long time I've decided to go ahead and make it a 1-shot kill. That said, with the introduction of many additional gun stats I've been able to balance the gun. The idea behind it is that the weapon is very powerful but hard to master: landing shots with it is hard since (1) the unscoped accuracy is terrible; (2) the process of scoping takes a little longer than usual; (3) while scoped, players move slower than usual AND can't jump, making them easy targets. This also prevents the weapon from being used as a close-quarters weapon (unless the player using it is incredibly good, against which there's nothing to do). In any case, I've found that other snipers were superior to the Intervention in many regards. Those of you that have attended the testing sessions might remember the MSR, the Dragunov or the P-06 (my personal favorite), which were much more popular choices.
