[Arthur_Tuxedo]

I call Kain from Blood Omen 2.

[IRG CommandoJoe]

Oh, come ON! This is so ridiculously easy to choose from!

Melee: Lightsabre (from Jedi Knight II)

I don't need to explain.

Pistol: Golden PP7 (from Goldeneye)

The rapid-fire pistol that could kill ANYONE and ANYTHING in ONE SHOT with excellent accuracy, 7 rounds a clip, could be reloaded in a fraction of a second, and with a limit of around 800 rounds? That is über overkill.

Shotgun/Rifle: Farsight (from Perfect Dark)

The rapid-fire rifle that could kill ANYONE in ONE SHOT, could shoot through ANY WALL, and has an auto-targeting assist??? I could camp in a corner and kill everyone on the map.

Machine Guns: MG-42 (from Day of Defeat)

Forget the stupid plasma rifle. If I go prone or have a sandbag to deploy the MG-42 from, I'd wipe out everyone in sight. Not much else to say.

Heavy Artillery: Redeemer (rom Unreal Tournament)

Tactical nuke. Nuff said.

Explosives: Devastator (from Perfect Dark)

Rapid-fire grenade launcher that explode on impact with a secondary option to have the grenades stick to walls/ceilings and then after a short time period fall to the ground and explode.

There's a lot more über weapons of doom out there, but the ones I listed come to mind now. The one in particular I think would rule the death match is the Farsight. This simply has to be the ultimate weapon of all FPS games. The fact that you could just sit on your ass in an enclosed room, use the scope to see through all walls, and use the auto-target assist to find and aim at targets guarantees victory. No other weapon in an FPS could do that. Unless you use wall-hacks and aimbot.

EDIT: BTW, I claim this guy as my character.

Changed "Golden Gun" to "Golden PP7."

[Rogue 9]

Pistol: Golden Gun (from Goldeneye)

The rapid-fire pistol that could kill ANYONE and ANYTHING in ONE SHOT with excellent accuracy, 7 rounds a clip, could be reloaded in a fraction of a second, and with a limit of around 800 rounds? That is über overkill.

It only had one round per clip.

Aha....right. I'm thinking of the Golden PP7. I'll edit my post to reflect this thought.

[Cal Wright]

Alright, I'll go back and edit tomorrow night. However I have some questions, some impositions and some additions here.

First off, to Alyrium, can you explain the powers and attributes of Elven Mage.

Who is Stone, and what is Project WBD.

Who is the Vault Dweller?

What the fuck is a WSTE-M5?!?

Either explain or give me a link let me take a gander at it. If thier not to bad then thier alright.

There was a question about Force powers I meant to address. As far as that goes here's what you get. Can't let things get ridiculous.

Force Powers:
Push
Pull
Speed
Heal

Duel Weilding will be like Perfect Dark and Halo 2. Standard miniguns and pistols. Duel Desert Eagles will pwn.

The MG-42 will be allowed. There are tactics to handle it, grenades if your lazy.

Max Payne will be the standard Max Payne. I'm gonna have to nix the ninja 3.0 whatever.

No Soul Cube or Redeemer. I don't want 20 kills in one shot going on.

Crowbar is allowed. I love that damn thing.

Darktroopers are allowed. Battlefront has a good setup. A standard fletchette launcher, grenades and a jetpack with limited jump boosting.

Ninja will be fine. They get fragged just like anyone else

I'm gonna allow Kain to be choosable. Bloodsucker extrodinair. Unless I find out he has some über power I'm not aware of.

I think so far that's it. I want to come up with some more weapons. i was gonna keep it kind of low, but since I'm only allowing 5 instead of the 9 or 10 most FPS allow I'm gonna bump the list of each catagory.

[Tech^salvager]

So that sniper that can auto lock onto anybody and can shoot through walls is allowed?

[Cal Wright]

It works like it does in Perfect Dark and it's actually quite easily avoidable. Even in skilled hands.

Ok I never played Perfect Dark before and it seemed to be the god of weapons or atleast how he was mentioning it.

[Tech^salvager]

Who is Stone, and what is Project WBD.

Ok heres some bit of background info.

Quoted from strestout1
"here's a basic description:

About Project WBD

Project WBD is set in a parallel Earth which has not seen war in decades due to the unification of mankind in celebration after the defeat of the Kage Empire in 1954. The modern world is comprised of various unified nation-states, which have prospered greatly thanks to this newfound peace. One such nation-state, the European Union of States (EUS), has emerged as the new world superpower possessing a majority of the world’s wealth, as well as technological and scientific resources which it has been using for decades to bring underdeveloped nations around the world to the state of modern technology and convenience which it enjoys. But an underground faction has begun gaining strength seeking to destroy the EUS and become the new world order…

Prepare for one of the most intense experiences of your life as you enter the world of Project WBD, an open-source, first-person shooter, similar to Quake and others. Based on the Irrlicht engine, Project WBD seeks to achieve what few other free projects of its type have successfully done: to create an intriguing world with a rich history, and to make the best looking, most fun shooter this side of FREE!

Project WBD will put you in charge of Stone, an EUS super-soldier in charge of ridding the world of the rebellious, and extremely dangerous, Pyesvee Faction. Fight your way through industrial complexes, crumbling cities, deserts, and sewers. Immerse yourself in the world of Project WBD.

Game features planned for version 1.0:
• Beautifully rendered environments
• Intriguing storyline
• Large selection of weapons including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and explosives as well as unique weapons created for the game
• In-house developed music
• Ambient sounds
• Detailed player models
• English and Spanish translations

While there is currently no set date for the release of version 1.0, the Project WBD team is working hard to get a tech demo for everyone to try. This demo will be announced shortly before its release. If you wish to join to the team, please contact the staff."

Also I'm taking that the BFG 2000 is allright

It works like it does in Perfect Dark and it's actually quite easily avoidable. Even in skilled hands.

I'd like to hear exactly how the Farsight is "quite easily avoidable." With the scope you can see through ALL WALLS. It has an AUTO TARGET mode. I don't understand how it could be "quite easily avoidable." The Farsight projectiles require no leading, so that's not an issue. And if you run around dodging and jumping like a rabid moneky, that's where the auto targeting helps. And if I'm wrong and the auto targeting is too slow to track the movements, you could always turn it OFF and aim manually. In fact a good strategy would be to use the auto target mode to simply find targets and then turning it off to manually track the target. Sure you could probably rush the sniper, but it's a FFA deathmatch is it not? Besides, if a sniper could take down a few people before dying he could win the game fairly easily. And rushing a sniper in a good spot that could shoot through walls is bound to result in a few deaths.

But if a sniper gets a great spot on the map, away from spawns, he could probably never be taken out. How are you supposed to take out a guy with a Farsight that could just aim through numerous walls that come before his position? The only thing I could think of that would defeat a Farsight is if a Jedi character was able to block shots with a lightsaber. But I don't know if you will allow that ability in this game.

[The Cleric]

The Farsght doesn't track fast enough to be a threat to good players. I always avoided it and went for the aptop gun to fuck the FS camper's day up.

[Raven]

The WSTE-M5 Combat Shotgun is a weapon used by imperialist forces against the insurrectionists during the Ares Raid, July 14, 2444.

Never heard of it? I'm not surprised!

Many years of loving craftmanship went into the design and construction of this brutal tool of mayhem, I hope you can appreciate that. I won't waste my time trying to explain the loading mechanism to you - your primitive mind could never grasp its complex nature.

Did you not read my entire post?

And if I'm wrong and the auto targeting is too slow to track the movements, you could always turn it OFF and aim manually. In fact a good strategy would be to use the auto target mode to simply find targets and then turning it off to manually track the target.

Selectively turning auto targeting on and off should defeat the problem of the slow tracking. The manual aiming on the Farsight is no faster or slower than any other weapon in the game.

[Ace Pace]

Hmn, then I change my choices to a Desert Eagle and a AWP.

[Cal Wright]

Just because your a slow piece of shit resembling molasses on a cold day in January doesn't mean all the fancy smancy auto targeting and shit is going to make it NOT 'easily avoidable'. I do it on a regular basis. The Farsight does allow one to aim through walls and even from one end of the map to the other. However, you still have to have a lot of skill to use the damn thing. Not to mention others that get ahold of the Farsight or any other treacherous traps laid in wait. We've had Farsight battles. We've had battles where only one person would grab the Farsight. It's not as one sided as your making it out to be.

I'm going to allow the WSTE-M5 and Stone from Project WBD. Both seem within resonable limits.

[weemadando]

OK, my character is Kung-Fu 3.0 Max Payne.

That means - bullet time, shoot dodging, MAD kung-fu skills, semi-gravity defying antics, insane carry weight and the ability to IGNORE GRIEVOUS WOUNDS with the aid of some aspirin.

Melee - Light fucking saber (JK2).

Pistol - Unreal 1 pulse pistol (upgraded) x 2.

SMG - Dual Ingrams (max payne 2)

Rifle - OICW (Ghost Recon)

Sniper rifle - Unreal Tournament sniper rifle.

Heavy Weapon - Redeemer (UT: Ride the Redeemer/Strangelove mod)

Special gear - Aspirin. Lots and lots of it.

[Guy N. Cognito]

Well, my layout will involve
Meele - Light Sabre (What else)
Pistol - DL-44 (Han Solo's blaster is by far the most kick ass gun around
SMG - P-90 with mini scope (body armour? What body armour)
Rifle - DarkTrooper Gun (Dark Forces)
Sniper rifle - Rail gun from Red Faction (Walls? Since when are they a problem)
Heavy Weapons - Fusion Launcher(Red Faction) It's big and bulky, does a wack of damage but it doesn't have good splash. Slow reload.
Special Gear: Extra shield packs, I'm a dark trooper. I have shields. Might as well bring more

[Tech^salvager]

Heavy Weapon - Redeemer (UT: Ride the Redeemer/Strangelove mod)

Heavy Weapons - Redeemer (It's big, it goes boom really big, need I say more)

No Soul Cube or Redeemer. I don't want 20 kills in one shot going on.

Well you heard him no Redeemers like wise soul cubes

[IRG CommandoJoe]

Just because your a slow piece of shit resembling molasses on a cold day in January doesn't mean all the fancy smancy auto targeting and shit is going to make it NOT 'easily avoidable'.

YES IT DOES. If you are slow and a sniper is using the auto target mode, takes it off, aims at you, and fires, it's NOT "easily avoidable." Being slow is an open invitation to snipers, regardless whether or not the scope can see through walls. Does it follow that "just because you're a slow piece of shit resembling molasses on a cold day in January doesn't mean" you won't get hit by a sniper using any sort of sniper weapon? According to you I could waltz right out of cover on Avalanche in DoD and try to take the middle flag, taking my sweet time because Axis snipers WON'T blow my ass off.

I do it on a regular basis.

Maybe because the snipers you avoid suck.

The Farsight does allow one to aim through walls and even from one end of the map to the other. However, you still have to have a lot of skill to use the damn thing.

It's not that hard to turn on auto targeting, find a target, turn it off, aim, and fire, is it? I don't buy it. You don't need any more skill to aim it manually than any other weapon in the game. So if you suck using the Farsight's manual aiming, you suck overall.

Not to mention others that get ahold of the Farsight

I was under the impression you could only have the weapons you choose and not pick up others. So far no one chose the Farsight except myself. But if this is the case, then yeah, it's more balanced.

or any other treacherous traps laid in wait.

What? Are you referring to the map layout or things like Laptop gun sentinels and mines and such?

We've had Farsight battles. We've had battles where only one person would grab the Farsight. It's not as one sided as your making it out to be.

It was whenever I played with a bunch of my friends and sniped em all down. But maybe they just sucked. I don't know.

[Cal Wright]

I don't think I can let the Kung Fu Max in there. Max Payne himself is a bitch, this Kung Fu guy sounds outrageous. I'd have to let the Jedi Knight players unleash thier full potential, and then it would go down hill from there.


Don't forget the Team Arena part. You can name what denizens would be on your team of FOUR and who'd they'd play as.

Frag time!

[Tech^salvager]

Melee-The swords that the elites use from halo
Pistols-Dual Subcompact Glocks.
Heavy weapon-BFG 2000 I think does splash damage to but I can't remeber.

I'll think of the rest later.

[Cal Wright]

Sporkzen was going over the BFG with me again earlier. I guess I have to make a choice. There's the BFG from Quake III which is basically a faster firing Rocket Launcher, or a more powerful Plasma Gun. The other BFG which is present in the Doom series is a bit of a problem. However I think the one from Doom 3 is more suitable. It didn't seem to have a large area of effect. Maybe a room clearer but nothing on a monumental scale. I'll just say the BFG 2000 from Quake III. Keeps things interesting but you can still get fragged.

I'm going with Tech's latest aditions. Game on!

[The Yosemite Bear]

I'll go as a system shock II thought police specialist....

I take a psi-wand, a shotgun, and a bouncy, bouncy grenade launcher....

[Sporkzen]

Lo wang from shadow warrior.. nothin special just a smartass.
"You want to wash Wang? Or you want to watch Wang wash Wang?"
"Oh, Damn, I'm running into walls now!"

Melee: His Katana
Pistol: dual desert eagles
SMG: Laptop gun (perfect dark) or link gun from unreal 2k4... hard decision
Rifle: shock rifle (unreal 2k4 *instagib if allowed* ) eat my shockrifle combo
Sniper: any generic sniper rifle.. i dont use em much * i dont camp much*

Heavy weapon: landshark gun (armed and dangerous) more funny than
effective but still i like it.
items/explosives: Fortune cookie 50% health and 50% dmg increase
topsy-turvy bomb (armed and dangerous) makes
everyones elses world upside down for a limited time.

And I can block all of these with a Force Push or saber defend.
