probably done before, but hear me out:

FLIPABLE M2s AND RAMBO BOWS DAMNIT!!!

why cant we have m2-2 and bow-2 like any other weapon? also, why cant we have a separate gfx for the flame bow and normal bow??

this would end my frustration with non-symmetrical m2s and bows.
this would also give more modding capabilities

Is it THAT important?

It's really hard to explain my idea...
Instead of the weapon bitmaps being right in the corner, it would be way better if they were out in the middle a bit more.
Here's a picture to explain (kind of :P):

This is what they're like now, in the corner.

This is how they'd be better, more out in the middle of the page.

By not only doing this to weapons, I think gosteks and explosions, etc could really benefit from it for modding capabilities. By doing this, helmets coud be bigger (wider), etc.

YES!!!!

And I could make some sex-ass scopes.

Thank God. Someone else actually shares this idea.

What he means is, you can add more crap and stuff because you would have more space to work with.

Captain Ben

Yeah. I always hated it how you couldn't have bullet clips longer than the handles of the guns when they're upside down.

I would have to change the whole gostek drawing code if I made Captain Ben's idea (that's how crappy it is programmed, sorry). I'll see what I can do about m2-2 and bow-2.

interesting idea, but then all the mods will have to be remade... :(

Darn, I guess it would have been nice to see, though. It would have been nice as well if the bullets did that...

Is this so difficult to make the idea of Center gun? You could probly make a script that change the enplacement of the Gostek on the Soldat. Wait ill show you :

so simple, and yet... so genious! i love it!

then we can animate them! muahaha! and make them capable of switching between multiple sets in-game! bwahahahahaha!! and edit the stats with a weapons editor! bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

*ahem* well, one step at a time.

uhhh, it's not that easy

lets remember michal has a life too... but that can open a whole for new guns, and new gun sizes

i just have a question:

when you change the size of a soldat's head, to make it bigger, wouldn't you still have to re-code so bullets will acually hit the new lengthend head part? instead of just flying through it?

Remeber that the old mods will not be compatable (well... look as good), if you do edit the coding.

The first idea (Spartan's one) is the one I like.

heh, thanks unlucky. plus, that won't make mods incompatible because of placement.

well if this gets implemented (glances at MM) then you know what to expect from me.......

an explosive firing railgun. now there's a thought....
