M41A to M41A Mk2

Post by Steelpoint » 02 Aug 2015, 07:19

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Technically speaking the M41A Pulse Rifle holds 99 rounds while the M41A Mk2 holds 40 rounds, our current in game M41A's hold 30 rounds but 30 is closer to 40 than 99.

Furthermore lore wise the M41A Mk2 is stated to be far more easily customisable than the original M41A ever was. Which would give a reason as to why we can add attachments to our gun.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Immersion, might also pave the way to allow a proper M41A rifle in the game in a limited capacity, such as only for the Commander.

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

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Simple name change.

I wouldn't mind this change myself. I know for balance reasons the M41A's couldn't have 99 rounds with ~300 spares in just a few mags but it would be a bit more lore friendly this way. +1

I can't see how this hurts the game.. Since, we moved to the Alpha... Things changed, then the Fire Nations attacked. So, I'm up for changing the name to seem fitting to Alpha.

Id say, personaly, id rather have Bullets>attachments. Hell, even if its just one attachment i would be glad to have something to shoot still at, not worrying to reload yet.

Its a minor consistency issue I noted, but not critical.

Could just offer the Mk2 in the weapon description so as to not clutter the weapon name.

I can throw something in the description explaining the 40 round mags over the 99 round mags.

The firing sound already sounds like burst fire. Why not just say that you have"X bursts left?" If you up the mag to 33 shots, you have your 99 rounds there.
