| Subject: If u wanna evaluate weapons here you are Tue Apr 08, 2008 8:47 am | |
| The weapons have many features that make them what they are. A brief explination of the characteristics:Spread: Wherever you point your crosshairs is the general area where your bullets are going. Most guns with continous fire tend to hit in a spread out area. Some guns, like the Sten, are very precise and can keep their spread limited, but most aren't very accurate if your far away. A good way to test this is to stand a few feet away from a tannish colored wall, fire about 10 shots, then press B to look into your binoculars (if your not in one of the Ops classes, you need level 1 Battle Sense to get binoculars). Spread is reduced by Level 3 Light Weaps: 35% for SMGs, 50% for pistols.
Also, a company named Splash Damage made the game FYI <_<
Fire: Very simple, seeing as only the Flamethrower has this characteristic. When you score a hit with a flamethrower, the victim gets set on fire (his body will glow orange with the flames) and takes 5 HP worth of damage every half a second or so, but it wears off after about 3 seconds. 25 - 30 damage for one shot is still pretty devastating though.
Alt-Fire: Some weapons have 2 different firing methods, and some can only be used when in the Alt-Fire mode. Use this by hitting the weapon's hotkey while that weapon is equipped, or right click.
Gib: Whenever a person takes enough damage, they become wounded and lie on the ground, still moving. When enough damage is dealt to them in THIS state, they die and are sent into the renforcement cue (aka Limbo). Explosive weapons can blow up the body, auto gibbing. Medics drop Health Packs when gibbed on Shrub servers, and Covert Ops can steal a players uniform only when gibbed. Gibbing also prevents a medic from reviving a unit. You can tell when you have done enough to gib when they stop moving and their gun pops out.
Helmets: These show wether the player has been headshotted yet. The helmet will reduce the power of the first headshot by 10 damage. ========================
4)Weapons ------------------------
Note: The SMGs, Pistols, and Grenades both sides have function the same even though they are different. A player can pick up any weapon as long as the class can equip it (i.e. Engineers can pick up the Thompson, MP40, Garand, and K43 while Medics can only grab Thompsons and MP40s). Switching out weapons leaves you with no extra clips, even if you pick the same gun right back up. Running over a gun you already have will give you extra ammo equal to the amount left in that clip.
------------------------ Airstrike (aka the Can of Whoopass) ------------------------ Used by: Either team's Field Ops (Hotkey 5)
Ammo: Infinite, but each can takes an entire power bar. At level 2 signals, the cost is cut to 2/3rds of the bar.
Power:This thing can easily drop a tank, so massive damage we are talking about. One hit gib on anyone taking a direct hit, and anyone not gibbed gets flung about 50 yards
Area of Effect: As wide as the area where the assault ramp is on Battery. There is also major splash damage, which basically increases the hit (not kill) area by about 1.5 times.
Exp: Signals: 3 per kill, 5 for destroying a tank or truck with one
Comments: Throw out a can, which emits a colored smoke (blue for Allied, pink for Axis). About 3 seconds later, a plane will fly over, and bomb the hell out of the area where the can landed. The plane comes parallel to the way the Field Ops is facing upon the arrival. At Level 3 Field Ops, expect a second plane to come about a half a second later to catch anyone that thought the strike was over. Only works outdoors, but an awesome way to get the enemy out of your hair for a few seconds and disable enemy vehicles. Unless thrown high, airstrikes can be blocked by crouching or going prone on the can. Make sure you get off when you hear the plane, or the can will explode and take you out. There are some places where you can throw a can so you can hit a high traffic area, but they will have a hard time seeing it. An example is right outside the door on the catwalk at Goldrush's first tank barrier (it's the part where the tank passes under).
------------------------ Akimbo Pistols ------------------------ Used by: Anyone with level 4 Light Weapons (the equivalent of 47 normal kills or 28 headshot kills with your SMG or Grenade)(Hotkey 2)
Ammo: 8/8 clip, 4 extra clips
Reload time: MASSIVE OF DOOM
Power: 18 damage, 50 headshot
Exp: Light Weaps: 3 per non-headshot kill,5 per headshot kill (like you need it)
Comments: These replace the pistol on your next respawn with level 4 LW. There is no damage increase, but you do get double the ammo and faster rate of fire, along with the best reload animation in the game Try to reload when you have time, as even with how fast your guy moves with his hands, he still has to load 2 guns. One disadvantage to CovOps is that you cannot remove Akimbo silencers, meaning you have to choose fooling people with an unsilenced single or the firepower of dual silenced. For a level 4 upgrade, these will only see use by Medics.
------------------------- Artillery ------------------------- Used by: Field Ops (Hold B and left click to mark an area for the attack)
Ammo: Same as the Airstrike
Power: See Airstrike
Area: When you call it in, wherever you aimed will be the circle upon which bombs will rain down. It is a rather large circle, but the hits are random.
Exp: Signals: 4 exp per kill, 5 for destroying tank/truck
Comments: You don't lose your power bar if your call winds up in an overhang (a massive disadvantage of airstrikes). A successful call will wind up with a 'Firing For Effect' radio message transmitted to you only. A few seconds later a marker shot hits, followed by a barrage of 4 artillery shells that land randomly around where you called (which is why you have to be careful so that one of the shells doesn't land on a building or an ally). Level 3 makes 8 bombs come down, which can keep an area covered for a LONG time. Also, upon calling in the strike, all Soldiers with Mortars deployed will have an orange crosshair appear where the strike is called. If you don't mind having a few of the shells be wasted,you can call on high walls to take down those on the high road.
------------------------- Dynamite ------------------------- Used by: Engineers (Hotkey 6)
Ammo: Infinite, but one batch takes an entire power bar until level 3, where it's cut by 1/3
Power: One hit kill. Surprisingly, it does roughly the same amount of damage to a tank as a grenade O_o
Exp: Engineering: 5 for something that required 50% Powerbar (MG Nest) 7.5 for something that required 100% Powerbar (Tank,CP) 10 for Objectives (Fuel Dump, Old City Wall, etc) 6 for defusing dynamite on any explodable 4 per kill (most likely a late engineer)
Comments: Engineer's second most important item (first being the Pliers). Throw one down, and arm it with the Pliers you automatically pull out. It now has a 30 second timer, and if you planted on an objective, a Dynamite Planted radio message goes out to EVERYONE. Disarm the bomb by using your Pliers on it. Dyna on the ground but unarmed glows yellow, armed will glow red. When you hit level 3, go for the double plant if you get enough time. Try to make your second plant one engis will want to get first, allowing the first one to go BOOOOM even if they disarm the second. Also, try to reserve dynamite for targets undestroyable by Satchels, unless you lack Covert Ops. If you're an Axis defusing, take note of the flashing that comes with armed dynamite. If it is blinking very fast and you attempt a defuse, you're just going to give the planter 4 more experience.
------------------------- FG-42 ------------------------- Used by: Covert Ops (Hotkey 3)
Ammo: 20 per clip
Reload: About the same as a standard SMG
Power: 15 bodyshot damage, 50 headshot damage 30 sniper bodyshot damage, ? sniper headshot damage
Secondary: Sniper Scope
Exp: Light Weaps: 3 per non-headshot kill, 5 headshot kill (both unscoped) Covert: 3 per non-headshot kill, 5 headshot kill (both scoped)
Comments: The 'n00b gun' of Covert Ops. It fires very fast, but has a drawback of massive spread, making even medium range risky for this. You can snipe, but aim for bodyshots and keep firing, even sniper hits with this gun aren't as strong as its bigger sniping cousin, the K43/Garand. Also, the gun is not silenced. In fact, it's really fricken loud, so don't shoot with this gun after getting someone's pants. Take this gun if you expect a lot of CQC and stealth is not a priority or option.
------------------------- Flamethrower ------------------------- Used by:Soldiers (Hotkey 3)
Ammo: 100 (no clips)
Reload: No reloading required. One AP will fill the flamethrower to 100%
Power: Dependant on how long you can keep an opponent in the flames, but burn damage can rack up 25-30 damage by itself
Exp: Heavy Weaps: 3 per kill Comments: Usually used for indoor combat which contains many narrow chokepoints and obstacles for a rocket to get blocked by, or on a Limited HW server when all the panzers are taken Range is very limited, so use your pistol in long ranges, or switch weapons if indoors combat is few and far inbetween. Watch out for players that get TOO close, as the flames can bounce off them and light you up, possibly even affecting their health loss. A great feature is the ability to have a full clip given to you with no reload by simply getting one Ammo Pack. You can abuse this by running to an enemy ammo rack or pile of APs and firing your flamethrower until the entire rack or pile is gone, thus depriving the opposing team of ammo. Obtaining lvl 3 Soldier negates the speed drop entirely, removing the need to run around with your pistol CS-style. You will slow down when firing, however.
------------------------- M4 Garand ------------------------- Used by: Engineers and Covert Ops (Allies only) (Hotkey 3)
Ammo: 8 with up to 4 extra clips. Engis spawn with 4 rifle nades until you get your first star there, giving you 4 more. Also, 50% of your powerbar is used to fire a rifle nade.
Reload: Fastest, but must expend all the ammo in your current clip before a reload is possible.
Power: 36 body, 80 headshot. Rifle Grenades are just like normal Grenades damage wise. Sniper mode does 50 bodyshot and 100 headshot damage
Secondary: Rifle Grenade (Engi), Sniper Scope (Covert Ops)
Exp: Light Weaps: 3 per non-headshot kill, 5 headshot kill (both unscoped) Engineering: 3 per riflenade kill, 10 for destroying tank Covert: 3 per non-headshot kill, 5 headshot kill (both scoped)
Comments: When it came down to rifles, the Allies got the short end of the stick IMO. Not being able to reload means you either have to waste ammo or risk an early reload in your next encounter. However, 2 headshots with this thing will drop anything short of an adren'd Medic. The true fun comes in when you right click. If your an Engineer, you will stick a grenade onto the attachment on the end of your Garand. This can be bounced around walls, launched really far, and will be the staple attack of this weapon. Just don't get too greedy: you need that powerbar to use other items (ie if your going to need to use lots of dyna, opt for the SMG instead). The Covert Ops version comes with a scope and silencer. The silencer will allow you to fire this gun and not lose a uniform as long as no enemy sees you fire it. This scope has 8 views of zoom, does more damage, but has the problem of mass recoil after a scoped shot. ETPro 3 makes the Garand the same specs as the K43 the Axis get.
------------------------ Grenade ------------------------ Used by: Everyone! (Hotkey 4)
Ammo: Dependant on your class. Soldiers get 4, Covert Ops get 2, Medics and Fld Ops start with one, but can recieve a second with their first level, and Engis start with 4 but gain 4 more upon getting their first star
Power: 5 to take out a tank, can instagib someone too close, and will deal considerable splash damage. To compare to other games, its between CS (which can never kill from full health) and Day of Defeat (which killed you if you were anywhere within 10 ft, although that may be due to player durability more than damage)
Exp: Light Weaps: 3 per kill, 10 for destroying tank or truck
Comments: Nades have a 5 second countdown from when you press the attack button to the explosion. You will not throw the nade until you release the attack key. This allows you to 'cook' the nade and make it explode in midair. Use this for enemy encampments, MGs, tanks, and suiciding if you need to go to the other spawn in a hurry (like if you still have the first as Axis in Fuel Dump and they plant on the dump). If you're about to die to a Covert Ops, pull a nade and cook it. Then laugh as they find a boom in your pants
------------------------- K43 ------------------------- Used by: Axis Engis and Coverts (hotkey 3)
Ammo: 10 max with 4 extra possible clips
Reload: A bit longer than the Garand, but can be reloaded at any time.
Power: See Garand
Secondary: See Garand
Exp: *points at Garand*
Comments: This is basically the Garand with 2 more shots per clip and can reload any time. This is usually what I opt for as an Axis engi, but if you like your MP40, I'm not stopping ya | |
