A dedication to each melee wep.

[chaoskirina]

perhaps you guys can make a model for each melee wep. like a samurai for the katana or a viking for the hammer. sorry if that was already mentioned. also you could have a level dedicated to that melee wep. like a zen garden for the katana and a viking ship for the hammer. this can work for something like duel 2. in the new duel you have two hand weps. daggers remain normal. akimbo katana's. a knights shield with the templar. etc. this is just my idea. although it would be really cool to have two katana's!

i remember Jb saying that they will focus on the more neglected parts of the mod...guns and CCTF

Actually at one point we thought about doing a custom model for each weapon. Of course you could mix and match

Again we have lots of ideas but limited resources. And we wont abanded anything, just re-focus our efforts. Of course more help is always welcomed...hint hint

hehe. on the subject. its my completely unrealized samurai concept art.



proof of concept at least.

You know, the model "Ravage" goes incredibly well with the Katana.

You know thats not a bad idea! Shields! most weapons have a free hand (save the daggers) and since blocking is not working all that great as is, a shield would cover more area and be more likely to block. Each weapon could come with its own individualized design for a shield.. or you could add a tab for Shields and we could mix and match. Make it only block when you hit the Alt Fire, leave the weapon parrying/block tho!

[Kaboodles]

How about the ability to choose what weapon goes with each hand? Like a shield/dagger combo, or dual katanas, or Templar/gauntlet combo. Or you could go with one weapon to make it more effective. Primary fire would use the left hand weapon and secondary swings the right hand one.

What about customizable armor? You can choose to put armor plates on your body to soften blows or put a big ol' gauntlet in your hand as an effective shield device. A helmet would be effective in reducing headshots and stuff.

Of course, holding more weapons and wearing more armor should make you move more slowly and possibly hit with less force.

[TKATK]

wouldnt that require a very nice amount of animations,im not sure but....

[jb]

Not a bad idea. We kicked around the idea of sheilds back early on the developement of the melee system. Maybe its worth returning to?

[TKATK]

as long as you dont make it horribly easy to block with,having to have timing and all to block but make it easier than now(useless)

or else a person would duck in a corner and wait till all but 1 are killed

thats by design I really like Ravage

hehehehe

LOL


Gosh, cant a guy have a couple of secrets

[Sporx]

Think about the infinate number of weapon/ shield combos you could have just by throwing in a handful and allowing players to mix and match, a wide covering , but cumbersome tower shield, a light weight but low protective buckler, kite shields, round shields , possibly to fit the bastard sword's profile a bone like shield comprised of human rib cages or something crazy-ass like that.

[TKATK]

how about having shields unique,like the classic buckler,shield,towershield

aand

Plasma shield:generates its force field with a self recharging supply of plasma it becomes larger and smaller time to time,becouse of its ammo suply which cant constantly deliver enough energy Press the block button while using the shield will create a full frontal shield for 4 seconds,but the shield will be down for 10 seconds after that

AWO changes the height of the shield,blocking different attacks
