Command Staff Pistol

Post by Kovain1812 » 09 Jul 2015, 21:30

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Replace All M4A3 45. Pistols and energy guns that spawn with command roles to the VP70M 9mm Combat Pistol Image

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Lore mainly, gives the officers a fighting chance if the sulaco gets attacked and they cant reach the armory. would add a distinctive tie in to the films as it is the pistol used by LT. Gorman on LV426, and i assume the pistol of all USCM Officers.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Im thinking give it a much smaller Magazine (7-8 rounds) but a much faster firing rate with slightly higher damage than the standard service pistol, limited to command staff only.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Wouldnt be too difficult to code i dont imagine, a slight modification to the existing Pistol code. ive created these sprites that you can use as a base for the weapon [LINK TERMINATED]

That uh.... Does not look half bad actually. However you ARE aware that the pistol used by Gorman was a Weyland pistol correct? However I REALLY like this idea considering I love to go LO every now and than

im fairly sure WY manufacture most of everything in the aliens universe ahah, but yeah add a little WY logo and call it the WY 9mm or whatever :)

just be nice to see a little perk for the often boring non combat roles.

But your still going to get people going LO just for the pistol than switch to marine.

Now all we need if for someone to make a Suggestion Thread for Alpha Bridge Officers they have less to do than current Logistics Officers.

If I could make a small extra little suggestion.... Make a sprite without a clip in the gun. For when its unloaded. That would be pretty nice also! +1 all the way though!
