title pretty much speaks for itself...
i would like to see a bow as either a primary or even a secondary weapon, power about that of a ruger and range similar to m79 maybe more (weaker of course if made a secondary weapon)

You leave this topic very open ended. Mentioning nothing of reloading time, ammo capacity, etc...just power and range. Leave the bow in Rambo mode. We don't need to make another barrett.

No way!

If the bow was made as a primary/secondary, what would happen to the Rambo mode? Think before you post.

yeah i agree, the bow is a lame idea, no offense but the bow is for rambo mode and medieval games, not cool games like soldat

Eh, I would kind of like it....anyone whos played 0.94 knows how much fun it is to type in /bow and go nuts. It would be okay if the bow was implemented, maybe with the power and range of the ruger, reload of the rambo bow.

i don't like this idea.. the bow would not fit in with the guns.

yea, this idea is pretty bad, we really dont need the bow as a standard weapon, just keep it in rambo O.o

i says naye!!

Yes barrets that reload faster...

why why why
Why do we have Rambo mode then

for the bow and that kickass headband... god i want one for my soldat

LEAVE THE BOWS ALONE !! nobody likes them !
do u want 5 noobs per game shooting "exploding bows" all the time ??

That would be pretty cool...

I think a few of you are missing the suggestion here. He doesn't want the "Rambo Bow" in the normal game... he just wants to have a bow as a normal weapon. One with "power about that of a ruger and range similar to m79 maybe..."

Maybe when someone makes a medieval mod that will be the first thing on there. But until then no.

This could be a great idea IF handled properly.

First Reload and recoil time are very short...infact NO reload time..you dont LOAD bows

Strength...Semi weak, abit stronger then an ak-47.

Accuracy, in between an m79 and ak 47

If you could make it balanced...it would prove useful

thats exactly what i was going for, im not talking about crazy powered super exploding arrows, i just think i fair and balacned bow would add another weapon unlike any of the others. an arcing weapon that doesnt explode and that needs a direct hit, and a couple of them to kill, would be very difficult to use but, im my opinion, very entertaining. and maybe it just doesnt fit...

not the brightest idea... soldat is supposed to be a modern war game... that is why the game is completely closed to the ideas of swords and bows... I'm sure you could be perfectly happy if you made a mod changing the ruger or barret to a Bow and Arrow set... or get someone real good at modding to do it for ya if they'd be willing, you probably won't ever see bow and arrows (other than in rambo mode) in the game

alright, just a thought, obviously not a well recieved one.. but it clearly just doesnt work with the soldat setting, thanks for all the input.

your welcome... i guess

i dun like the idea... i think itd be used like the barret or m79 (way too much)

I agree with you Geo. Leave the Bow in Peace.

"...infact NO reload time..you dont LOAD bows"

you dont? i thought u did....

The bow reloads but only for like 0.5 sec you can kill 10 people in 5 sec. Its extremely fast and wouldnt work. Its worse than barret For [:-censored]s Sake. We dont need a super barret. Which will make barret look like its not annoying. =/ As i said before...Leave the Bow in peace pleasee....

I think it actually would be a good idea. it would be cool to have it as a primary weapon (but the the power WAAAY down) i would think some where along the lines of the desert eagles' power and ammo capacity and rate of fire. Just as a "bow" not a "rambo" bow. It would be a great addition to the game.[;)]

great turn the deagles to a bow...

Maybe if a bonus yes, but no way primary/secondary. It doesn't fit in with the other guns.

GEOLOGIST ARE YOU THICK IN THE HEAD????????? ITS A BOW AND ARROW, ARROW, 1, 1 arrow, its not a full auto rambo bow cannon.
also malachi, secondaries aren't weaker, look at the LAW and the Combat Knife, deadly fukn weapons, but secondary, just cos it's secondary doesn't mean it's gunna deal more damage then taking a drink. look at cs for example, Deagle 7 shots, 2 chest shots eqauls your dead.

bloody hell leave the mother [IMAGE]ing bow alone

ug ppl. Everyone says bows are medieeval. Have you seen modern bows made of modern materials? If you are skilled you can get up to 75kg of tension in them. They shoot very far and very hard... So what do you have against a bow in the game...
But we don't have any number keys anymore...

Fine you guys downt want a bow in the game why not have a CROSS-Bow hehe

If any of you have really actually fired a bow in your life, you would know it takes a very skilled user to reload in .5 seconds.

If were talking about medieval bows, well, archers were only able to get off at most, 6 volleys a minute. Not much.

yes but its quite alot of damage if all the arrows hit you
