How about some type of gravity base weapon

How about a shoulder wide energy disk weapon

How about a some type of drone projectile

Look, I could sit here and put some real thought into it and come up with all kinds of bad*** ideas. But that is not the point of this thread. The point is to point out the severe lack of creativity (or productivity for that mater) that has gone into the weapons design for this game.

This game can't even handle maps underground and you want to add those weapons? Well I suggest you get ready to lag your ass off every time you shoot and be prepared for ps3 overheats.

Yet such weapons have no problem existing in other games. Excuse me if I don't take your assessment as expert level.

Also if your marking off situational weapons then take off the laser rifle. Also the MD since it is only effective in mostly medium ranges.

Yea and plenty of other games have underground maps too (And a better engine). So your point is? (Oh and btw I just graduated from college with a degree in game design so I think I know more of what I'm talking about then you)

Let me see your diploma, and I'll believe you.

Haven't used the MD in a while (since before uprising and respec) but I used to be a sniper with that *****, also it used to be very good at CQC. Don't know the state of the weapon curently.

LR fits the criteria because you can use a sidearme to sore up its deficiencies.

Then why is the sniper rifle situational? I mean sidearms make up for its deficiencies.

@Argent Mordred
What variant of firearm do want added?

How would the gravity based weapon work? There is no point shoving people or objects around in this game, unless you could throw some one up so high that they died from fall damage. That also seems like it would executed in a way that is either unbalanced or limited so it is functionally pointless, being unable to do anything that couldn't be done more simply with another weapon, so that you should just use a real weapon. If it was the later then it is just a troll weapon or maybe a nifty way of chucking grenades back that could be better served by adding a to-throw-grenade-back-press-square feature.

If you mean something that uses gravity to propel a projectile, then congratulations you just reinvented the wheel; and you did it in an even more pointlessly complicated way. Come join the rest of us using railguns or firearms to chuck metallic projectiles around.

Situationally you could push someone off a roof with a gravity weapon, but that would too limited even assuming you could get up there. It's only use would be for trolling the campers who constantly tower snipe, regardless of it is tactically useful for their team that match or not; and only if you have a drop ship to get up there.

Shoulder wide? The energy disk or the weapon? So what is so special about it? Is it a rapid firing weapon? If so, then how is it different from an hmg, ar, or smg. If you can't come up with a reason, then you have just created a shiny energy weapon variant of every other automatic weapon type in game. If it is high damage, semi-auto, and close range? Then you have created a way too fancy energy weapon that is basically indistinguishable from a shotgun. High damage, semi-auto, long range? You have created a very attention getting energy weapon that is exactly like a sniper rifle. Except that screams, "my owner is right over here, guys" to the entire enemy team with a line of sight on your target every time you use it. Think like a laser rifle's beam except less subtle.

I have never played tribes, so I am not sure, but are you maybe proposing that they rip off a spinfusor?

Drone Projectile? Do you mean a projectile fired by a drone? A guided missile with a dedicate launcher of some sort? If you want to make a suggestion for a new uva vehicle like a predator drone or something go right ahead. It sounds like it might be a decent idea, but I don't have a clue what you meant by a drone projectile weapon.

If you are going to complain about lack of variety of weapon types other than variants of weapons based off real world firearms and other types of military arms, you might at least have one type or more of new weapon that you would like to see.

Not trolling I'm serious.

Then would you care to suggest what weapons need to be added?

Then I am just going to state that all possible light Anti Infantry weapons have already been added to the game, and see if you can prove me wrong.
