You just realized this? We've been having nothing but weapon packs forever now.
it should be noted that this is the best way to ensure balance across a weapon pack
if you have a bunch of one-piece weapons, people will use them randomly and wildly with other one-piece weapons, causing a gigantic power discrepancy because you don't know how strong those other one-piece weapons are and can only balance them to 'your' specification- which is not necessarily the same as everyone else's
unless everyone agrees to a single balance (which i would assume would just be stock game balance, which promotes very short fights and rocket launcher supremacy) then one-piece weapons are out-and-out impractical
^This^
Or it's some realistic weapon that just shoots bullets and that's it.
We need more creativity.
Also, half the stuff in Modif. Discussion is almost never released.
realistic weapons are 'baseline'- they're universally understood and are typically easy to use because they're not only forgetin everywhere but they're also very simple in nature- just point-n-shoot
what's happening is that people aren't making unorthodox, 'interesting' weapons. not like LOL DUCK CANNON interesting but like the Spinfusor from Tribes or the BFG from Doom; things that are distinctly not 'realistic' but that are genuinely useful and fun to write
the reason that these aren't being made is largely because of brown shooters, which most people are basing their guns off of. which is also an industry thing. stuff sucks
edgy
nothey are literally anything
but edgy
they are playing it as safe as humanly possible and that's why people hate them
why are you using that word
I thought this exact thought when it had came out and I got it to work. It was so amazing. Now I look at the add-on section and, well...
I see stuff anyone could think of in a blink of an eye...
Whatever happened to our creativity? Come on, people. What about Playertypes that can eat people, not just be a T-Rex with the McClaw.
Or what about an Octopus that shoots people with Ink, blinding them and can eat them!
The things we can think of are endless, yet we're too busy making Shotguns and Rocket Launchers.
Well, I'm pretty sure we have enough of those. What I'm trying to say, is not to insult the Add-On creators, but asking them to be more creative, and to stop making Shotguns and Rocket Launchers.
If you don't understand what I mean by Shotguns and Rocket Launchers, it means "Repetitive stuff"
ok forget off
most of the weapons you seem to enjoy are 'silly' not-really-anything-interesting weapons. like, yeah, the duck cannon is cool but it's not anything i would actually use if i were playing a deathmatch, because the only real thing that separates it from other weapons is that the bullet is shaped like a duck
shotguns and rocket launchers are the building blocks of add-on making
if you want to design something cool, design somethin forgetin cool and make a request. we have an entire section. don't get mad at us because we're not doing anything, we're doing exactly what the public seems to want us to do
