    This could be the greatest or worst idea ever. I think the crossbow should fire strait-shooting bolts (still just arrows). It should be just slightly slower than semi-auto guns. This would also nerf the crossbow because you won't be able to hit the unbelievable shots with the arrow's arc. What do you guys think?

    Eh. I think I better nerf would be making the bolts explode still - but only if they don't hit a player. It's annoying living the shot and then becoming the human hand-grenade.

    I would rather just up the reload time because in the real world, a normal human cant load a new arrow in 0.05 seconds. It takes around a second for a human to load a new arrow.

    I agree, this would make it look more like a real Crossbow.

    The crossbow currently implemented is actually really good and close to the original so I think there is no need to change it.

    I think the crossbow is perfectly balanced

    or change so:
    Old crossbow = Bow (only change crossbow name to bow)
    New crossbow = Shoots straight flying bolt like a sniper rifle with an exploding bullet (this is a new gun)

    The drop makes the weapon unique and actually a crossbow.
    A bullet doesn't experience much drop because of gravity due to its velocity, but a bolt is traveling a lot slower, thus it is affected by gravity. Plus, you're kind of buffing its firerate.

    Nah, here's a better suggestion:
    • Add a time delay so it's non-spammable.
    • Make the Crossbow fire a fully charged bolt instead of a partially charged bolt.
    The Crossbow will mimic its CoD counterpart in this way.
