Realistic Weapon Rande and Damage

[->Sachiel<-]

In real life, a bullet does not travel forward until a certain range than disappear. Instead it has an arc of fire, where it would slant down to the ground and eventually make contact. BF2 has already incorporated this (I am 100% sure, I tested sniping people from different distances by telling a friend of mine to stand a certain distance from me while I test) I believe that this should be applied to all weapons in UT2004 except for light-emitting ones. In real life bullets slightly ricochette off of rounded surfaces, I believe that this should apply in UT2007.

Lasers should bounce off reflective surfaces just like in real life. I believe that the shock combo creates powerful electromagnetism, this should create a distortion effect and should bend laser-like weaponfire (yes you can create a magnet strong enough to bend light [Its been done] by the US military, around a ship in an attempt to make a fleet that is undetectable. What happened is that most of the crew either went blind or melted to the hull of the ship. PLUS THE SHIP TELEPORTED, you probably think I'm joking but look it up in the internet, I learned about this while trying to acquire information about the "Nazi Bell" Experiments). I also believe that Lasers should have infinate range and bounces just like in real life, and should only disappear when they hit a non-reflective surface like a mountain or the sky-box.

Back to UT2007, I believe that (like in CS) weapons whould deal different amounts of damage depending on which part of the body they hit (I'm sick of people shooting you in the legs and getting kills just as quickly as they would if they were to shoot you in the chest), this should also apply to vehicles too. - I listed too many things to make a non-biased poll, so just tell me what you agree or disagree with -


POST IN THIS ONE, AND TELL ME HOW TO DELETE THREADS IF POSSIBLE

in the future.......bullets dont arc.....they are much more sophisticated and advanced

 

[->Sachiel<-]

??????????????????????????? explain yourself, for when you hit any somewhat spherical or semi-spherical objects together they bounce off each other, if bullets in the future still have rounded fronts than they should bounce.

 

[JaFO]

*eh* for the record :
lasers don't bounce of shiny surfaces
perhaps the low-powered lights we currently use in cd-players do, but not the kind that's designed to burn through metal in milliseconds.
'cause if that worked I'm sure futuristic armour would consist of a gigantic mirror

OH ... and stop believing anything you read on the internet.

 

[->Sachiel<-]

I said reflective surfaces not shiny surfaces, and I've seen this info in many places (except for the teleportation part that was a joke ) and in the future armour would consist of very reflective surfaces or super-magnets to bend the laser beam around the target. LIGHT IS BENDABLE, get that through your head.

 

[Vault]

it is? then why dont you make a halo for yourself?

 

[->Sachiel<-]

?????????????????????????? We can't see individual beams of light, we see the surfaces that light bounces off of. You know in real life lasers are invisible, they are simply concentrated photons instead of separate ones that normal lighting fixtures or the sun emits. Technically if I strap on a helmet fitted with correctly positioned super-magnets (magnets so big that they would crush my head to wear) the light around the helmet would be bent so that it will look like that I am not wearing a helmet at all, and whatever part of my head is covered by the helmet will be invisible because NO LIGHT IS BOUNCING OFF OF IT, you would see what is behind (or around -depending on how the magnets bend the light-) me and I would see complete darkness because all the light coming to my head is bending around it so no light is reaching my eyes.

i still dont see your halo mr.i write long and boring posts so that i try to fool others into thinking that i am a real man with a halo

 

[->Sachiel<-]

WTF, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A HALO ON TOP OF MY HEAD, THE LIGHT REACHING MY HEAD COULD BE BENT SO THAT THE LIGHT ITSELF IS SHAPED LIKE A HALO BUT YOU WOULD NOT SEE A HALO, YOU WOULD SEE A STRANGE CIRCULAR DISTOTION WHERE MY HEAD WOULD BE. REVIEW YOUR PHYSICS MAN

 

[Vault]

you poor little man.... always with your "no no no halos arent seeable" poor little man.......you need a halo, it'd make you much happier

 

[->Sachiel<-]

I'm no man, I'm 15. I just have a high I.Q., and seeable is not a word. "Visible", "Invisible".

Do you have a Halo around your head? Since I'm sure you don't (angels DON'T exist as far as I'm concerned) how would you know that a halo would make me much happier?

 

[Vault]

cause i have a high IQ, thats how i know a halo would make you happier........ and seeable is a word...in my language anyways....yes i have a halo... angel do exist.. but they dont have halos



dude.... dont you think your getting a little off topic.... seriously dude...

 

[->Sachiel<-]

DON'T YOU think your getting a little off topic.

 

[Vault]

nah... its just you

 

[->Sachiel<-]

uh huh, well then if its just me state something productive towards my projectile and bullet physics ideas, my Laser physics ideas and my damage ideas and not about HALOS.

 

[Vault]

you being racist against halos or something? your one angry little man

 

[->Sachiel<-]

Yes, the Halo race, the greatest civilization in history. They invented the wheel after all so I should be greatful.

 

[Vault]

yes you should.....

 

[->Sachiel<-]

I don't get this, usually my threads are highly controvercial. I thought that this one will top any of my previous threads, doesn't anyone have something to say about my ideas. Does this silence mean that everyone has agreed with what i have to say. If that is the case vault stop posting its getting lame, this was aimed to be a serious thread but noone has anything to post but jokes.

 

[Vault]

ok, ill be serious........ i think the bullets should go on forever..and not just eventually float to the ground. Cause in the future the bullets just dont.... they are super bullets! Richoceting is a no-no for me..... they should just be imbedded into what they hit... or go through it depending on how thin it is... or the bullet be crushed if the suface is uberly hard. Um.. area specific damage? no... (cept for head shots)...cause there would just be to many issues....one shot with a stinger in the heart brings a guy down? not cool.... this isnt CS, its is UT. The only "light" weapons are the shock and Ion painter (off the top of my head) and i dont think they should bounce... the shock is powerful enough without having multiple chances to hit a guy with one shot. And with the light bendings thing...isnt that what they do for the stealth adren right? anyways.. if they have a mega ultra uber magnet in a map that would bend your shock shots.... you wouldnt be alive to shoot.... (read Prey be Michael Chrichton? theres this magnet in it and well....a bit off topic sry.. anyways GREAT book). Although.... that'd be a great trap, like in fractal..
