I think that the electic thing would be best suited as a link replacement... But for the MUG, would it be possible to freeze/boil water volumes?
That would be cool. You could make a bridge for yourself using a MUG when faced with a large river or something.

And what about lava? I want to be able to freeze a rock float for myself in case I fall into large vat of boiling stuff.

I'm not so sure of the lava (retexturing + checking if it is lava that you're shooting), but I can imagine making water volumes terporarily thicker than mud, or damaging to anyone inside.


Edit: Another thing... With a grav belt and the MUG's secondary fire, a player can fly anywhere.

Cool, no changed my mind, Very Cool.

I thought the mug is a link gun replacement, which is sadly why it can't be in onslaught.

You could replace the unliked cpp with an electric based gun and kill two birds with one stone.

It IS a link replacement , but it can be used in onslaught. you just get a mug and a Link gun. instead of one or the other.


Edit:
Also , on keeping with the whole MUG freeze making rafts , perhaps we could have the MUG make free floating icebergs , and let Airblast steer them.

Why not just make the MUG shoot one giant ball of the freezing gas? And will we ever see ice collect on the floor and walls, cauusing people to slide about?

How about some acid ammo?? It first eats through your shield and then it attacks your health.

How about something like a psi wave which causes distortions in the players view, causeing it turn upside down or make everything wavey looking.

Man, how many ammo types can there be fore one gun, I thought electricty with smoke was nice, but a psi wave with the mug doesnt sound like a mug ammo type, the mug should use only elemental ammo types like Fire, Ice, and Lighting. :)

Fire(Fire)
Water(Ice)
Earth(Dust fog?better than smoke)
Air(airblast)


so the third ammo type must be something earth related

Huh? whered you get that?

EDIT: Oh nvm I see. wasnt that from that movie the 5th element?

anyway , im pretty sure the Ammo Types have nothing to do with that arrangement.IIRC the Airblast comes from the Airfist in Q2 chaos , and as for fire and ice , what complents a flamethrower more than a freezethrower?

Fire, Ice and Air come from the Utility Gun in CUT as well.

actually, that could be a new ammo type for the mug. makes it rotate sometimes with like the CSR(Chaos Sniper Rifle). has an EMP effect on vehicles and makes players aim go other places. like if you are shocked your aim goes up high and you switch weapons. sometimes you fire either primary or alt. it would be cool to shock a leviathan and everyone in it. makes it stop and someone fires and/or looks left.

EDIT: nevermind. just looked at the ONS MUG and link combination. except the ammo type would still rock!

For the shocking thing, that could have a short range, and less effect with melee weapons. (think lightning rod, or something)
