Okay, so when I started playin soldat, I immediatly fell in love with this grenade launcher, because it was easy to handle, and became very lethal as I memorized 85% of the decent shot angles.If u train hard with this weapon, u become almost invincable.This goes double for real mode, where ur damage is amplified, giving u strenght that is inhuman.
I say it's okay when skilled ppl use this weapon, because they give u a good fight.
But the newbies, who make a bloody mess, and kill the fun, should be restricted.
Let's make this weapon a lil harder to handle, by:
Making it that u have to keep the fire button pressed to gain throw power.The longer u press it the longer the shot goes.By tapping the button u r most likely to make urself explode.The maximum range is the current range.

Interesting, but M79 is not a catapult.

yep, it's interesting, but this should have been implemented earlier, because now it's a too big change.
it would be nice for a new weapon (a normal bow) or for the existing rambo bow. The longer you hold the mouse button the stronger the bow "tightens" (?), resulting in more damage/distance.

Hm.. I like this idea. Call me a whiner, but I think M79 is too strong in some situations (e.g. if you rush forward in CTF, if there's an M79-user in front of you, it's an incredibly easy shot for him). But if this would be implemented, there could be fewer situations like that. But if implementing this, I'd say that the M79 would automatically fire when you reach the maximum power.

Of course, when on maximum it fires automaticaly, but u can fire earlier aswell.Like with nades.

Eh, how would this really improve the m79... Just making it take longer to fire it at the current range?(maximum range as you want it) I don't see how making the throw power change (by how long you hold the mouse) would really do much good for the m79. Just seems like too much of a hassle to me.

Maybe for a new weapon like a bow (like b00sta said)

Im against it, cause if this "gaining of power" ran too fast, you couldnt aim properly, if it is a t "normal" speed, you are helpless in air-combat, cause the enemy changes his range frequently. The only use i see is, when someone escapes with the flag in cCTF, cause then u can predict where he will be at a certain time. But for everything else this is making things too complicated.

i like this idea, but the m79 is a gun,

this would be great if you could do this with throwing gernades

its taken me long enough to get used to the m79 in 1.2.. PLZ DO NOT CHANGE IT AGAIN.

Err, you can. The longer you hold the button before throwing or click the mouse (i throw nades with the right mouse button), the farther and faster u throw em.

i kinda like the rambo bow the way it is, seeing that whoever has it is the most indangered of being killed, anyone ever play that with 30 bots, oy a massicer!

Nah, Demonic, it's a good idea, but wouldn't benefit at all. I would explain it, but Grand Diablo came first :P

Oh, and if M79ers have inhuman power in realistic mode, then I must be absolutely godly. :P

naa leave it the way it is.. let the n00bs.. theyll get the hang of it..

good idea but wont it take too long to shoot I mean some one can shoot you when you try to shoot with m79. Those dudes who can't handle that wepon make bloody mess is true but dont mind of 'em and kill them first ;)

it is certainly interesting, but the m79 doesn't need to be nerfed, which i think this would do. unless you could think of something that would make this method of shooting easier

Haven't we made it clear that no one gives a sh*t about barret threads anymore?









Just kidding. <3 Barret.





Anyway, I don't think the idea would be good for a GUN. Maybe a mortar. Also, the real M79 doesn't work that way, so if we change the "realism" if it, we might as well add wings to the AK so you can fly without using your jetpack or maybe even a LAW that has 30 rounds and automatic fire?

Also, it reminds me of Gunbound. God that game sucked.

Haha, yea! Gunbound. This thread kinda like it. I hate GB too.

meh dont compare the two :P

If you want a different shot, change angles..easy as that. The gun is easy enough to dodge as is, if you're not running headlong into trouble.

no.
To change the distance you want to shoot, move your mouse.

boosta gets a cookie ive always wanted a normal bow in soldat lol that would be so fun [:D] and a m79 in real life cant shoot further with a softer trigger pull but in real life a barett sniper is semi auto and soldiers dont have jet boots so meh[B)]

roflmao... *agree*

in real life the barrett is semi auto but the recoil is too intense so maintain fire on a target area. ever play america's army?

As a matter of fact, I work for them. In real life, most marine snipers probably have had a lot of hours on it. They eventually can compensate for the recoil and can fire it much faster. However, in the game, the Devs didn't want people blasting away at near auto speeds with 1 hit kill rounds.

In real life you woudn't be able to move while shooting with barret.

puhrty smilees.

Don't mess with the M79.

Why're all of them looking at me... Besides the one bashing his head in the wall...

i shot a real m79, and i weigh 150lbs
*Bang* *falldown* *KABOOM* "woah, holy **** that was loud, some body answer that damn phone"
yeah, it should be nerfed.
