Im thinking a nail gun mode would be interesting, hear me all the way out first.
Good effects: +25% velocity, +10% damage, a larger push from the rounds, and it would "nail" the oponent to a near wall if the velocity takes the person to that wall.
Bad effects (to make it fair): +20% reload time for the clip, more visible tracers, the "nail" effect would last for ~20 seconds when you get nailed to a wall.
This power up would be like the kevlar, it would last untill you die.
Just imagine crucifying some shmuck to the roof, and punching his guns out, then leaving him untill the "nail" effect wears off. XD

i don't think thats a good idea...

Why so. Plz say something more then one line.

It would be to overpowered. Pinning someone to a wall is a nice idea and all, but think about how much of an issue it would be for CTF, hell, being pinned for over 20 seconds or more would totally piss people off......... no.

and we dont need another goddamn weapon in soldat either

Its a powerup, not a regular weapon, so it wouldn't be all that annoying...

Yes it would be. Barret is annoying enough already, one that pretty much sets you up for an instant kill is even worse.

That
idea
sucks
in
my
humble
opinion.

hmm...what i you got pinned on the wall for like...5 seconds it would be pretty fun

Yeah this would be annoying, though i still would want to see a soldier getting nailed against the wall and then just hangin there

seems interesting(though i dunno if i agree), But maybe limit the Nail gun to a Small Clip size and a Slow reload time.

20 seconds is far too long, Perhaps if the time was shorter, say 5-10 seconds, then it might me plausible. Alos, it should be a time limit power-up. It would be overpowered otherwise.

Or, you could just make a type of game of Nail Mode. You capture the Nail Gun, kinda like the Rambo. Actually, just make it exactly like the Rambo, and change the wall time to about 5 secs... Hmm.... That's a cool idea! :^)

plus, its not like you can't shoot when you're pinned to the wall....

Interesting idea, very original, and it sounds very cool. But adding another game type or more powerups doesn't rank high on my list of Soldat improvements.

i agree with think.tac we don't need more game modes or powerups unless they are outstanding, something that is really great, no i'm not saying soldat should never change, but i mean it would be funny to see a cow gun, where you shoot cows at your opponents and they pin em to the ground or chase em into a wall and gore them, but just because it'd be funny doesn't mean we should add it to soldat.

Agreed.

mabye for like 2 secs or something to that effect...

20 seconds!? i get pissed of when i have to wait more than 10 seconds to re-spawn. i think i'd have a fit if i had to wait for 20 seconds.

Good idea. Probably wouldn't work in Soldat, but hilarious anyway.

Did you get this idea from the Stake Gun in Painkiller?

hmmmm.... maybe this would work if it was a powerup, it could last 10 seconds when stuck to wall and have 1 shot

if id get stuck to a wall for 20 sec. id might as well type /kill

What if it were a Secondary Weapon that works in the following manner:

- Rounds that push the opponent away but harm him only if he is close to a wall / ceiling.

- You get the pinning effect from the velocity of rounds fired at your opponent. If he is very close to a wall, the push and damage effect would last 5 seconds. If he is further away from the wall, it would be a mere breeze pushing him closer to the wall also for a duration of 5 seconds per round/bullet.

hmmm... IDF, u got a good idea there.

It would work, but... why!? If you were running around on a battlefield IRL, would you bring a nailgun? No!

Would you bring a chainsaw? No. Would you bring a jetpack? No.

"3rd_Account", yes I would. Just imagine the tactics you can develop with this weapon. You could, for instance, pin the enemy to the spot while your team moves in for an easy kill.

I think the potential of such a weapon is tremendous.

well, it should still be a powerup, not another weapon.

how bout a harpoon and you throw it to stick them ^______^ or a spear gun of sorts
this idea reminds me of painkiller i like it ^__^

It will be make soldat too easier for newbs...
Maybe not if it's for 1-2 secs...

hmm and mabye when you switch weapons you get a gun that pushes people far away when the secondary pins them.

Icarius, i dont know if you have noticed but the barret is a 1 shot kill, so even if you get 'nailed' to a wall your not gunna be alive enough to feel it anyways, and beside, flame god mode is full of crap, inviciblitity for like what 15 or 20 seconds? and practically instant death.

i like it BUT make it a power up plz plz plz or it'll be 2 powerful

why not make the arrows have nail gun like powers...
