Grapple Hook options

Post by TheForgotten »

Is their a reason why there is no option to disable the Grapple hook like there is the translocator?

Also is their a way to bind both to one key like you do with pipedswitchedweapon?

Because IMO that would be like taking cheese off of pizza, the toy out of CrackerJacks, or the skank out of trailer park girls.

Not sure about the pipedweapon switch, I don't use them. I'm sure somebody else here will be able to tell you though.

The grapple hook is not actually a weapon.. so i dont think piped switch weapon would work.

Removing the grapple from some duel games might not be a bad idea since it seems that every duel server now is running without the mutator just to disable it, which also disables spraypaints and kick. The grapple does cause some problems on public servers as well, so I can see why people might want to disable it.

Its not fun when both duelants are hanging in the air

Its even less fun when ones in the air and the other tries to grapple-poke him

I very much beg to differ. I've fought a three way fight swinging over the pit in Immortal, where all of us were grappled to the underside of the walkway over the pit. It was kick ass.

If you don't like stuff like that, find a different server, but don't try to take away MY fun.

Now, a good idea would be to have any attack that hits the grappling hook claw to cause the claw to disengage, dropping the grappler (in some cases to his death).

May I ask why the grapple isn't a normal weapon? Just so you can use it and use a weapon at the same time? If that's not the reason I think it'd be easier to use if it were made to be a weapon (one that you can scroll to).
