It's simple really, there should be Suicide Bombs in Soldat that takes up your secondary weapon slot, and when you die, it explodes, killing whoever gets caught in the blast, helpful when you get CHAINSAW'D or PUNCH'D or KNIFE'D at close range.

...it should be visible! i like the idea, but i think it would burn out in a few months..

yea, I dont know if it would have mass apeall, I mean, it is a free kill for you without doing anything is someone is close to your body. Just doesn't seem like anyone would like it, and people may start getting really pissed off about it.

All I see here is a way to almost always have at least a 1:1 K:D ratio...

People already complain about it being too easy to kill with different weapons, so the last thing we need is a weapon that you can kill a lot of people with literally no effort--just die near someone and BAM you have a kill or more.

I can just imagine having a bomber clan who each stay with a player on the opposing team for the rest of the game...XD. Enemy tries to shoot you, and they kill a friend! XD

this game is about soldiers not extremists, soldiers stay and fight, not blow themselves up to get 15 virgins in heaven. it wouldnt get support, wouldnt get appeal, and it could probaly be easily made in a WM

Nah. I'm all for a kamikaze weapon, but only in mods.

No, it couldn't. You can't edit the blast radius of weapons, and you certainly can't make them go off when you die.

^^I agree.. it would be nice to try out, but that's all this one holds..
God, we'd have to make a G.Bush secondary weap as well - may i suggest a miniature aurorabomber, or perhaps a small size apache?

That's where you're wrong. A month or so back, Field Marshal modded the weapons text and even made a weapon skin for a kamikaze kit. It replaced the chainsaw and worked surprisingly well. You got 2-3 explosions off before you died in the blast.

How about firing the M79 at close range? It works :)

I do suicide bombs with m79, when I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly bored. I'll just hide in a spot campers normally go, and when one walks past me or camps near me I shoot it down at the ground.

But this would be something everyone would have, it would ruin RS Servers as we know it

What this could be is a primary or secondary weapon which you use by clicking the left mouse button as usual, and it just blows the hell out of you and anything around it. It would be just like the kamikaze kit mentioned above. An automatic explosion when you are about to die is not a good idea.

I reckon it'd work best as a power up. THere shouldn'r be any way to activate it yourself, just when you get killed, it would explode.

Or maybe if you choose this "bomb", it's the only weapon you can have.

Another idea is that you can have a mod, kind of similar to ZombieCTF(.tk), where the only object is to kill these islamic extremists, without getting blown up yourself.... OR... not

And yes, I reckon I said reckon somewhere in that sentence I reckon.
It doesn't necesarily have to be a chainsaw. You could do it to the minigun if you really wanted to. The only difference is is that you'd have to take away the bullet speed.

As a pickup, i dont see much problems with this being added to the game... the pickup should spawn at the same rate (or lower) as the flamethrower, and when u get it, u will explode the next time u die. U probably wont get it more often than 10% of ur amount of deaths, and there is a good chance people kill u from a distance anyway.

im sorry to say i havent had that experience yet...

a suicide bomb would be great on a WM server, but only if Michal allows downloading of the weaponnames.txt, so ppl know what the hell htey are doing.
