Was playing a custom map just now... was two bigass ships with huge cannons seperated by a large landscape. But alas, couldn't use the cannons as they were just polygons. Thoughts of the fun to be had if the cannons could actually fire, allowing for pot shots at one another, made the child within giggle for a second while a idea sparked up.

SG's are bloody annoying, especially when noobs are concerned. So how about replacing them with a cannon that fires LAW's or m79 shells over great distances?

There'd be no constant lines of lagging gun fire, instead the occasional explosive pummeling your arse.

or we can take them out i think michal madea mistake by puttting them in

I couldnt Agree more !

I like SG.

it should reload so it not just fire all the time

no they should be taken out of the game they are too annoying

this isnt take the s.guns out of the game thread..

i dont know about your idea though chakra, s.guns that firing LAW/m79 ? i dont think it'll work better then the way that the normal sg worked

I would like this as an addition to the current SGs. Some sort of mortar would be cool.

Hmm.. could be nice on maps as the one you explained. An inf map where the defenders are on a ship.. sounds nice. But don't replace the "normal" ones with that.
And to the "take them out of the game": I think the turrets are nice, in infiltration. in ctf, like ctf_run, they dont have to be in, but in this map it's not a problem, because of the 3 different ways to get to the enemy base.

I don't really mind the SGs in inf maps too much but I would rather have that grenade launcher thing that you were talking about for the other types of gameplay.

Um.. wtf are you on ?? SGs are the best thing ever in Soldat. It was not a mistake.

They need to be made so they over heat that?s all, but we don't need to remove them all together.

And of course, the placement of cannons is up to the map maker, if you don?t want them, turn them off. But if the end up being really fun to play with like SGs, most people will leave them in and you few people who hate them just have to live with it.

It's not like all the old maps will have Cannons put in them so you wont see any change there.

Personally I dont think they should even have been added.

And having been, they should have some restrictions, such as an ammo limit per game, a heat bar, less accuracy, not like its current pin-point one. There should be a visible button on the options menu to turn off the SGs, not everyone knows hw to turn them off, and the current way is inconvenient.

This will be solved by 1.2 so it should be fine by then.

The barrel's should overheat after about 300 rounds causing a delay in fire allowing the operator to be taken out.

all the stat guns needs is to be mounted on a vehical. and shell firing ones on tanks... and if hes really feeling up to it. missile ones on choppers. this wouldnt runnin the game play because you could only use vehicals on maps that are designed for them. so i think thats your solution

vehicles in soldat, in maps like the ones in now... I think that would be a bit too impossible

VEHICLES IN SPECIFIC MAPS!!!

Ahem.

Unfortunately, there isn't ammo limits and relaods for the SGs in 1.2, but it has a majorly cool overheat.

Well, I'd deffinately prefer big cannon thingis rather than those stupid S.guns.

You want SGs out?

I had so much trouble getting them in!

Read about the crusade and say you are sorry! Otherwise...

[:-glasses]other wise what punk[:-glasses]

people who whinge about SG's should be shot. there not hard to aviod, not hard to kill the operator, they have there weakness's ,they cant be shot into spawns , have bit os the map stopping there shell's so theres nothing to whinge bout. stop being crap and gettign owned by them

you know... if you really dont like them... then dont play maps with them.

a boom sg is is better than teh old sg!

thats 3 out of 6 ctf maps idiot

T u are ghey

There is a way to disable them. Go in to the Soldat folder and open up the Setting wordpad, and at stationay guns change the number 1 to 0. I think thats how I did it.

whatever anyone ever seen or used an m2, i was lucky thanks to an army expo, they had several weapons we could use (steyr was the only one with blanks) other weapons were attached to a bipod and bolted down to a small desk..........ive used an m2 and trust me the accuracy in soldat is pretty much exactly right over the range its firing, the damn thing hardly even vibrates enough to shake your hands when u fire it.............the fire rate was exagorated a bit tho lol, also the overheating better be set to over 30 000 rounds cos they dont get very hot very fast thanks to all the holes near the start of the barrel

SG'S RULE and also it makes sense for the sg to have limitless ammo cos its all attacheched to a huge chain (hummers over in iraq have around 10 000 of those lil .50cal wonders in em) if a reaload was added reload time should be 3 secs(all you do is grab the chain, flip up the back part, slip the chain in, close it and lay waste)

sgs are ok as they are but for gameplay reasons limit them
