1 weapon system > 3 weapon system

[MR.Mic]

We fully intend to have a shotgun and an Uzi,  and because we are the developers,  we also control the balance of these weapons.

once again, if you don't make any good arguments for that decision (eg counter mine first), this whole forum is totally pointless.

Here's one: we are the developers, you are not.
Regardless of what you may think, this forum is not here so the public can play armchair game developer all day. I cant think of a single idea that has been brought up on these forums that have influenced our design.

Our goal of gameplay drawn directly from CT with superior coding has not changed, no matter how much all you kids on these forums want to tear at each other's throats.

We are not going to make sweeping changes to a game based on arguments that are only supported by speculation instead of actual empirical evidence.

The main problems with the Uzi and the shotgun were due to sloppy coding and oversights. The shotgun was unpredictable and the Uzi cone of fire was so narrow that it worked too well at all ranges. Implementing the shotgun to fire consistently, widening the uzi cone of fire, and adjusting the damage dealt from each will make them function in a properly balanced manner.

I've kept my mouth shut because I wasn't really sure about the thoughts of the rest of the team, but I also prefer a 3 weapon system. Just feels better IMO.

Would you like another plate of Pwnage, Sir?

The reason for the no-influence is because 99% of all the threads is about gameplay. And we're not that far yet. I'm tagging posts that I find cool to be implemented. So when we get to the point of gameplay, we'll discuss those posts and more I think.

The three weapon system adds variety. Just leave it at that. With proper balancing, it will all work out.

repeating the same bullshit-point won't make the idea any better  ::)
