Pick up your guns Timmy

Nikoomba · Feb 28, 2001

If weapons are dropped due to player death, and these are picked up by other players, even if by accident, how will this effect the whole weighting thing coming up. If you carry 2 guns so you're light weight, and you accidently pick up 4 M-16s and 12 MP5s, this could pose a problem.

I think a pick-up key should be added...

You can always drop weapons, though whats with ammo?
I also prefer a pick-up key

-Snakebite- · Feb 28, 2001

Yeah, needs a pick up key (or more of a limitation on what you can carry).
I prefer the former.

The 'use' key should be pickup..

They are supposed to implement a feature that allows you to dig through a dead players backpack.
and choose what you want. And just like RL, this would take up more time so you can't just Walk over a weapon and automaticly have it in your hands.

Good job TEAM!

"use" key, defenately.

DarkBls · Feb 28, 2001

And items cannot drop out of body when the guy die ! You must go through the dead corpse

And i hope this will be a time consuming action like real life !
Taking a rifle on a ground is a quick action but looking into a backpack for ammo...

Yea

Yup, I thing we should have a minig..... oops I meant a....what do you call it?.. "pick up key" or something?

A Plasma-Minigun would
still be cool though

Guys, keyboards do only have a certain amount of keys on them

Why have a whole new key just for picking up guns?, just have it set so you crouch over the body to pick stuff up.

well according to the ROADMAP,
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> During the game, you may run across a backpack with weapons surrounding it. If there isn't a dead body close by, then there used to be one. When you run up to and stand over these items, what you are standing on will appear in your HUD along with "it's weight/your available weight", preceded by a number. Simply press the cooresponding number to pick the item up. If the item is a weapon you already have, you will simply strip the clip and leave the weapon. Otherwise you will pick up the weapon.

wrong quote

Hey nikoomba, winston churchill did not say that, Gen. George Patton did, my sig correctly credits the quote

otherwise, i think that the weapons should not spill out like they do currently

The system mentioned in the roadmap is in most aspects superior to using the "grab" key. It would mean one less key to bind, no need for using a mouse to select items, and the only drawback would be fore those using the nubmer keys to switch weapons.

Thanks for the pointer Snake, I've gotten a flaming from a few people already about it, hehe. Anyway about the pick up key, I just hope this is done well if it's used, not like the frustration you get from some games (Tomb Raider for example) when you have to be exactly over the perfect pixel for the stupid character to pick it up.
