Allow the M56D Machine gun bipod to be retractable.

Post by Sargeantmuffinman » 10 Jun 2017, 07:51

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Per title, allow the M56D Machine gun bipod be retractable to allow it to be easily picked up again.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Will allow marines and engineers to quickly pick them back up again.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Code in to allow this to happen either by allowing it to be clickable to retract or by right clicking it.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Code.

+1 because it's a massive pain to be pushing it around to where you want it to be placed.

Since in my opinion, turrets are far more superior than the manned turrets, although less cooler. This suggestion could make the M56 manned turret at least a viable and survivable piece of equipment.

As of now...this manned turrets does shit nothing too late for it to have any effect besides stopping a charger ram. Making it retractable will indefinitely increase it's survivability and a more suited role as a offensive heavy weapon than the turret. +1

+1, do please get rid of the turret old code and insert that masterpiece. ^^
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

+1 yes. Machine gunner teams have to redeploy very quickly and frequently. Engis have to be able to do that in the game with aliens coming from everywhere..

Yes, please. Easier way to move it is a thing that M56D lacks right now and the reason why sentry is more profitable.

+++++1 PLEASE do this. It'll make the M56D a viable choice from the Sentry. Mobility vs. Ease of Use.
