Title: Droppable weapons in EF--or a special mode with them + weapons sounds and layout
Post by: TheVolskinator on April 20, 2012, 05:48:06 AM

Would it be possible to balance upgraded weapons in such a way that we could have more dropped weapons lying about the battlefield? These would be things like:

- Karabiner 43 (G43)
- Panzerbuchse 39 (OH)
- SVT40
- MP44s (extremely low drop rate, .10 or less)

The other thing which I thought of was the current Soviet audio for infantry weapons. Maybe it's just me, but they don't sound like they belong in CoH, they just don't "fit". Would the dev team ever consider porting the weapons audio from Call of Duty 2 into EF? CoD2's array of Russian weapons (Including the PPs-42; yes yes, it's not the PPs-43 but close enough) have damn good sound files, best among them the SVT40. Not knowing the stats, would there be cause to give Sturmovie Ingenery the PPs, since it was a much cheaper weapon and would probably be issued to troops deemed less important--such as Ingenery.

That would be a massive change IMO, and I don't really think it can be done a special mode for that.

Would it at least be possible to impliment the audio permanantly, or are we going to use the "players are now used to the super arcadey sounds" argument  :P

I personally find the mosin nagant a bit too loud compared to the K98 or the enfield.

As much as the quartermaster in me would like to see free weapons upgrades laying around the battle field I think there are too many dropped weapons on the map already. IMO The drop rate for PRTD's should be lowered. There is little or no balance at present with the dropped upgraded weapons anyway. IIRC A PG can pick-up two Shreks. they are not PE shreks but the superior Wehr Shrek. THe same consideration will apply to the TH PTRD and the improved NI PTRD. THis seems to me to be an exploit(able) situation more than anything else. (Granted it is a legacy exploit from vCoH).

yeah. more dropped weapons? this would change Gameplay of vCoH, somthing i think this mod would not do according to their policy of not messing with other factions.

as for sound files, why not make the pack yourself?

PGs (with G43s) can only grab a bazooka. They dont have 2 open weapon slots (the amount you need to grab an lmg, RR, or shreck).

Fair enough, shall we focus on the audio suggestions then?

How are the NI PTRDs better?

just because the NI are carrying them. same penetration, damage, accuracy, and rof.

NI PTRDs deal 40 damage instead of 30. Only difference.
