knife :D is better to do the ricochet bullets :D or a new secondary weapon katana ;)

what use would a katana be? It would have to be able to do something other then ricochet bullets.

If you want that then the Chainsaw reload rate (or "fire" rate) should be increased.

as long as it only ricochetededded (how do you spell that?) slow things, like, below 80fu/0.0167s (fire units per 1/60 second), i'm all for it. either this or the good ol' lunge action, the chainsaw needs something cool, as it's not used enough. the knife (almost wrote law as well, forgot about that startup time thingy) will leave the spotlight someday. i hope. maybe.

like teh litesabra...
ok but then it would be hard for people to hit you, unless you can only richochet bullets if your facing the direction, but it would be awesome if you could richochet barretts bullets, like you would have this feeling someone is gonna shoot there barett at you, then you go like block teh bullet :O

Uh. It musn't ricochet them back on enemy. Just pull them away.
But If u want lighsabre from it. ; )

Definitely only slow bullets, not knives though, then the knife would be almost useless, they're easy enough to dodge anyway.
It would be funny running at a SOCOM user with all his shots bouncing of your saw.

I dare say, the chainsaw would actually be too good if it could do that, as much as I like the idea. Believe me, I have a chainsaw-only profile, and I'm pretty good with it.

I think this idea would be best as a new secondary weapon. Can't throw to kill like knife, no "automatic" like chainsaw, but blocks bullets... That'd work. You could press the button to attack, and then if you hold the button it does a bullet-blocking spinning move that doesn't deal damage. And of course, it'd only block normal bullets, and in the direction it faces.

Plus, with the Chainsaw's hitbox, its not like it'll cover your whole body. You'll have to precisly aim where you want to block. So if you try to cover your head, your legs are exposed, if you try to cover your legs, your head is exposed. Of course, most of the Primaries can use that to their advantage and simply shoot the places where they're not blocking.

i was tired, i thought you meant that leo's was about the chainsaw. i reckon that the chain saw should be able to block bullets and used in the same way as in leos/dairys suggestion. making a new secondry would just be a shield, making the chainsaw block bullets would be making it equal to the mighty power of the knife. make it so the chainsaw can block knife. that would make knife vs chainsaw fights SO DAMN GOLD. imagine, knifer runs at chainsawer, throws knife, chainsawer tunrs on chainsaw just in time to block and runsat knifer, knifer jumps him grabs knife and runs at him, chainsawer turns on chainsaw to block the anticipated knife thorw, knifer jumps chainsawer and throw it at chainsawers back, AND RECORDED IT.MAJOR PWNAGE MATERIAL

Yea, and make the knife an even more un-balanced secondary.

yea, again, don't care about the socom, bet your a knifer, and the knife would only be "almost useless" if you were going against a chainsawer for (Please refrain from swearing) sake, and how often does that happen?

Great idea.

I don't think its fair for it to block every songle bullet. WHy not every second one?

the chainsaw would bloock all the bullets/ grenades that are goin slow enough. it would then take real skill to kill a chainsawer, and make the ultimate rivalry of chainsaws and knifes even closer

Happy Camper

Knifes right now own he hell out of Chainsaw.

who ever said "that would make it chanse" or what ever. What do you think auto bink on autos are?

Deleted User
August 20, 2005, 10:46 pm
I said it. You've got a point there, but bink can be estimated to a degree, but what if you are running towards a sniper with a chainsaw? Theres half a chance you'll get killed, and half a chance you won't. I think having the chainsaw only deflect small or slow moving projectiles is a much better idea...
No offense or anything :)

Yeah, I am a knifer, and i meant against chainsaws. I come up against chainsawers surprisingly often actually.

I still say chainsaw is far deadlier than most give it credit for. I use it exclusively quite a bit.

exactly, even knifes can reach high speeds, so whats the problem.

Lets see you take on someone one on one, see how you fair.

All the other weapons can be used against eachother, and they are all very balanced, but anything VS. a chainsaw wins, messed up balance.

and i'm not talking about in public servers, i know you can run around like a chicken with its headcut off blazing away with chainsaw and throwing nades, and get some kills, but you WILL NOT win in a Clan War, or a duel.

The Chainsaw's a joke weapon, really; aside from camping it's not very useful in any situations other than narrow ctf_Equinox-like tunnels :-/

Koon
August 22, 2005, 4:29 am
it does have some use actually. although i prefer the knife by far, i've found the chainsaw's best purpose is to rush into the enemy base and run in a straight line while holding down the shoot button. if your lucky you can get a couple kills and take out some campers.

Happy Camper
August 24, 2005, 3:03 am
the big problem tho is using it in a Clan War,it has almost no use, except on Laos, witch is where i use it, to deal with Med(Please refrain from swearing)s, other then that, there is no practical use for it in clan wars.

And that is sad, a ALMOST usless weapon.

maybe, but if all attk items ricoched you'd have people left right and center chasing you with chainsaws, some people are quick enough already, let alone have less bullets hit them.

Happy Camper

there is still a reload time on the chiansaw...

plus the fire rate is not CONSTANT, so i'm sure some bullits would get thru

yeah if the saw only blocks bullets while its on it wont block all, the chainsawers will still be sitting ducks but have a better chance of surviving
