Seriously, it seems he decided to freak the gently caress out over nothing at all. Who cares about realism, even then there's a sense of verosimilitude - wouldn't it be weird for a six-chamber revolver to fire 30 bullets in full auto fire in the span of 10 seconds? Well yes, it'd be. So you just change the model to a full auto pistol instead of a six chamber revolver. Faustian is just mentioning that, if you put another auto/semi-auto shotgun in the game, and whose role is to do more damage but have a smaller magazine than the AA12, a Saiga would make sense because of how it looks and works, if you were to create such a weapon role to fill the "doesn't quite do anything" void in which the M4 dwells.

If I know gently caress all about guns (and I know really little about them because guns are boring), and I buy an AA12 and a Saiga in the game, I will immediately realize that both have magazines (and even if I don't, I'm just a Mouse 1 + R from learning it), the store will tell me which one does more damage, and the fact the Saiga has a more conventional magazine instead of big gently caress-off drum means I can give myself an idea of what's the tradeoff. There isn't anything wrong in just fixing the M4 numbers-wise, so whatever.

I mean, there are some weird opinions in this thread but this one isn't even spergy.

He said, writing a few paragraphs. They're not creating new weapons right now and that's a good move. Make the M4 hold ten shots if that's what it takes. Nobody cares.

I'm going to dissent: the caulking gun makes no goddamn sense and if all the Firebug weapons are weird special-ed MacGyver contraptions I might as well finish my 1,000,000 fire damage achievement in TF2. Plenty of legitimate military hardware lights things on fire without being a clone of existing class weapons, and the stuff that would be is awesome.

I'm not sure the magazine capacity is what is wrong with the M4 so much as it is the reload speed, and a higher mag cap would exacerbate this due to how the gun is loaded. Also the current animation speeded up would look weird.

If they are into the possibility of dicking around with it though, they could use a shotgun speedloader.

Technically speaking the capacity is too low considering it has a full capacity mag tube but I'm not going to expect that attention of gun detail in a game like this.

But yes, one of those speedloader sticks would be loving cool.

So I finally decided to try out playing the Medic class, nothing crazy let's try normal.... :staredog: It's like playing medic flipped a switch that turned off the brains of all random pubbies.

This has been the biggest clusterfuck of player's I've seen in a stretch ever so far. My first stop being wave 1 (eer, we mean wave 3! sorry for that 60 second load time) with a level 13 medic that has a passion for Crovels and Scars, who fired one whole healing dart the whole time, from a pistol.

My last round for the night had a breath of fresh air. The level zero berserker swinging the katana I tossed him even with warnings it would grant no experience was the only one with any semblance of competence and teamwork mindset, and had a can do attitude helping me out as the commando that round constantly ran off solo and ran away from every scrake and pound until I started leading them to them (Commando Cause of death, standing still on top of two Hans grenades after I had already pumped every dart I had into them).

God bless you, random level zero zerker I have already forgotten the name of :britain:

A lot of pubbies turn dumb when a medic joins in. They think that they don't have to worry about their health or safety anymore because medic friend will keep me healed. Not realizing that if they're taking more damage then the dart can heal they'll still die. Been trying out the other weapons as a medic to get a feel for them. Commando weapons don't really help me much since the Bullpup is like the Medic SMG but can't heal. AK and Scar are expensive and I might as well get the Medic Assault rifle then. I have however come to love the double barrel shotgun. I'll usually go as many waves as I can with the Medic shotgun and the Double Barrel as a back up. It works surprisingly well for crowd control. I'll drop the DB for the Medic Rifle against Hans because I need its ridiculous heal dart rate.

part of me feels for that dumb commando pubbie just because of how scary scrakes and fleshpounds can be for commandos. it might just be me not having their movements in KF2 down well, but I never feel like I'm doing anything but plinking away at them when I'm commando (unless I'm spamming grenades, which I do whenever I can). still not an excuse to chime in though imo.

Finally trying hard mode more often than just peeking my head in every so often, since I don't play frequently enough to have anything but commando at level 15 (Whoo tac reload!).



I have a huge boner for Backup now that it works (Obviously switching it off on Hans). It is very liberating to be able to go hog wild with the 9mm and know all I need to know is one headshot to put down trash, or to just pull it out and go apeshit on a sudden pile of crawlers up the support's rear end instead of reloading my near empty rifles. Oh my loving god I love this thing even though it's probably super not optimal compared to taking bigger clips the entire time.

I understand this from A normal teamwork gameplay standpoint. But this guy was basically running off to the opposite sides of the map to wage a one man war on anything that didn't spawn near us. If we ended up wandering into him when only trash was around, he'd gently caress right off just as much as he would be it was a scrake or fleshpound.

Part of why I probably why I'm not constantly getting my poo poo wrecked as much as I thought I would in Hard (aka, "Real Normal") is because I tend to wingman the gently caress out of things, which means I tend to be slightly off to the side and behind people when poo poo goes down (or making constant 180's to check if I need to murder gorefasts lodging their blades up the medic's anus again). I learned my lesson not to throw myself between Hans and other players to get grabbed though. Being constantly darted up to max from 99% health doesn't matter when suddenly nobody is healing you at all while you get drained after a dive tackle in front of the medic :downs: (Guess who survived to the end though, hint, it wasn't somebody level 25)

Crawlers continue to be the bane of my existence though. All of my embarrassing deaths on hard have been from suddenly coming to a dead stop on a single crawler while being swarmed.

As long as everything can pop the head off a gorefast in one bullet I am so on board with whatever the hell captain SMG brings to the table. Hopefully they don't give them anything as weak as the medic SMG to justify a 60 bullet clip or something. Backup and the 9mm at least has shown that me personally, find a HUGE satisfaction difference between "Needs one bullet to kill a gorefast skull" and "Needs two bullets even if fully automatic".

I always go by the one second rule. Where if I'm a medic and they go from full health to dead in one second, it isn't my fault.

I remember in KF1 I've had people be upset because I "let them die" when they're tanking a Patriarch minigun.

The AUDACITY! The IMPUDENCE! The unabated NERVE!
An MP5K, an MP7, and a P90 have one thing in common, and that is ease of firing with one hand. I'm not honestly going to be surprised if the SWATs melee is a Riot Shield that you can use to block/parry incoming damage while still wielding a primary (maybe at much reduced control). Combine with maybe both huge armor and health bonuses, and SWATs could become central to keep a bunch of Scrakes and Pounds at bay (even enraged ones), while still being basically useless vs Sirens and Husks, and okay v trash.

EDIT: Based on this idea, it'd be easy to see the class starting weapon with some kind of autopistol. If so, tht'd be pretty awesome for the Commando, an offperk weapon that syncs up with backup.

I have nothing against a class based on SMGs. The medic SMG already has so little recoil you can circle strafe/run a mob down like it's Quake. Compare to the runaway freight trains that are the Commando guns.

Sure, I don't give a drat if you carry quad miniguns somehow, it's a game - but you can't easily fire any SMG one-handed. full auto recoil, even with something relatively lightweight like 9mm is pretty drat significant.

now in KF2, for all I care, you can do that while blindfolded and upside down and have pinpoint accuracy. That's fine. I mean we're already getting a caulk-flamethrower, I believe that sets the tone quite nicely for what to expect out of future perks.

I'd say let's have that be a mid-to-high level perk: The ability to sacrifice a melee weapon or the riot shield in favor of doublefisting your guns. Of course, ammo capacity doesn't go up much to compensate pouring up to 100 rounds into some Scrake/Fleshpound. Reload times, however, I'm still not sure.

It's also early access and missing a lot of planned features. I think they're planning 10 classes, a few new bosses, new monsters, more maps, and new game modes through objectives. Tripwire has a lot more content in the works
