New Weapons

Hi!
I think we need new weapons for scouts,enginers and grenadiers.
scouts need snipers(I think)we need a strong sniper with longer reload time like this http://world.guns.ru/sniper/barett_m99-1.jpg a weak with high fire rate and a great accuracy like the Schmidt Scout from Counter Strike or a silencer for the handgun(dont know why)
engis need auto shotgun a Jackhammerhttp://world.guns.ru/shotgun/jackhammer.jpg
or a striker http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/STRIKER.JPG
the grenadier needs a grenade launcherhttp://world.guns.ru/grenade/milkor_mgs.JPG
or this http://world.guns.ru/grenade/rg_6-2.JPG
thats my suggestion
and maybe an uzi for some1http://world.guns.ru/handguns/uzi_pistol_l.jpg
or a weapon on the jeep for example a minigunhttp://world.guns.ru/machine/6_m134_movie.jpg ok I geez that would be to strong/dangerous

 

No sniper rifles, it's already bad enough as it is. SHotguns are worthless in all but short range, while i like the idea of limiting their range, it will bring with it much frustration.
I agree with a grenade launcher for the grenadier, but only if he has to trade weapons for it.

 

And I propose once more, amalgamating the shotgun with the grenade launcher, as they both look similar and shotgun/grenade launchers already exist in underslung forms.

 

omg!you ppl are fast (but im faster)

 

trade?:confused:

 

You trade your pistol and mortar for a short range, slow firing SMG with grenade launcher.

 

maybe.but cmon not the mortar grenadier without mortar is like me without a sniper

 

Burn the witch!

Empires doesn't have enough close range combat for this to be particularly useful. Also, the engineers have enough to do and don't need more weapons (unless you're suggesting replacing their existing guns with it, which I think would be too annoying.) If there's going to be a shotgun, make it a powerful one and give it to the rifleman.

This might not be so bad, but I'd worry it could be too effective as an anti-infantry weapon.

 

Only thing I want is that the NF Engineer should be able to use Buckshot pistol, (Variant 2), I just love it!

 

Striker http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/STRIKER.JPG

A striker for a worker? Hmm...

And about shotguns, they could work, as it's an OPTION to choose it, so if you're not going to go of range, shotguns could work (escort, etc), and if you really need to go long range, just switch to a pistol.

 

yep.Strikers are nice,battlefield 2 had a striker if i remember right

 

This suggestion is so beautiful I want to have babies with it!

 

Go try and play a game where you can only use the shotgun pistol.

See how much it sucks.

In order to make a shotgun work you need to give the class using it more functionality.

 

LOL

 

Who said I ONLY wanted the shotgun?

It's an option, if a few people want to be extremely deadly in close combat, so be it, but let them suck in ranged combat if they want to. It's a free world (?)

 

And I am attempting to point out that you will find very few situations where using a shotgun will be of use to you.

 

It really depends on your play style. I tend to find myself in close combat more often than ranged since I'm either in a tank, or building a base, and whenever I have SMG2, my pistol is more than enough for ranged.

 

I love to kill ppl when im a rifleman on canyon or slaughtered
on duststorm im always scouting somewhere.no one knows where I am but they know im watching them

 

I can only see a shotgun being useful if it is multi-barreled, so you can unload it at something in mid-range and hope to kill it, but at considerable ammo expense.

And you should have some other ability to go with it, which is why I suggest making it part of the rotary grenade launcher.

 

maybe if you could choose shell type http://www.firearmsinstitute.com/images/shotgun_shell.jpg
