Will we be seeing RPG's: What weapons do you want?

[DEATH eVADER]

Like the title suggest, it might fire up a game by including an RPG or two, or perhaps a grenade launcher, it makes you think of the many possibilities with the game, large maps for sniping people, small maps for absolute carnage. Was there a rumour at one point that we may see vehicles in CS:S?

 

[Uni-Ball]

No serious heavy fire power should be in CSS let tht be for HL2DM. ANd Custom maps will include vehicles like de_coastbeta3

 

[jondy]

God, no RPG's. If they were included they would have to be wildly innaccurate and slow you down like a bitch. Autosnipers' are bad enough :|

 

[Deemo]

Like i said in a post earlier today, No new weapons will be introduced in CS:S, because VALVe clearly stated that they didnt want to change the cameplay from 1.6 to CS:S. a RPG or anything like that would drastically change gameplay. If you want rocket launchers, go play DoD (or DoD:S when it comes out )

 

[Eclipso]

Yea, adding them in would hurt the dynamic of the game.

 

[oni_666]

While most terrorists do use RPG's.
I really don't think it would be a good idea in CS, since it would have to have severe restrictions on its use, And the movement of the character, Otherwise it would just become a noob weapon, and ruin the game for everyone else.

 

[Eclipso]

I say leave em out of CS. If you want to use them play a game that has them. My biggest concern would be camping. Some players and some maps are over camped and it gets old as we all know.

 

[nick_t]

RPGs for objectives might be cool. For instance: blow up a chopper on top of a building. I also want to see VEHICLES!!! I dont care about gameplay and so on. As long as its exciting and new, it's good. I think everyone gets bored of the same maps and weapons.

 

[M2k3]

Vehicles in CS are the dumbest suggestion I have ever heard. You wanna know why? Name 1 map (not custom) that could support a tank or a Hum-vee. I mean think about it, theres just no room. CS is a game that is ment for in-your-face fast paced gameplay. Big huge open maps that fit vehicles would ruin that.

 

[CookieCuttah]

I would go for a M79 only if it did just a bit more damage than the average grenade and you could only get like 6 pins for it.

 

[cereal]

We need two new machine guns. Leave the m249 for both, but give the CTs an m60 or something like that and the terrorists some russian machine gun. Damn that would kick ass. Another shotgun would be cool too...sawed off double barrel? Don't tell me that wouldn't be cool.

 

[KoreBolteR]

that would be good objective maps with helicopters/rpg's/heat vision for ct/and bombs that detonated when a player runs by.

but only for certain maps, not map like dust

No current maps can handle vehicles of course. But if a map is designed to implement them in an enjoyable and challenging manner, it will be awesome. Like the Ts might have to drive somewhere before proceeding and the CTs have to try to shoot them down. Or, maybe the CT's are in a big boat and the T's have to land choppers or pull up with boats to infiltrate it (like crazytank3). I'm sick of just shooting at others on the same 5 maps. Why doesn't valve take a risk and make a more thrilling and innovative map for players who enjoy the current gameplay but seek some more exciting features?

That would be rather intresting I suppose. Having a map that is made specificly for vehicles and not on-foot battles would work and probably be very fun. Valve should consider something like that.

 

[DrunkPanda]

you mean like assault for UT 2004? that would be sweet

 

[Teta_Bonita]

Patience, CS 2 is inevitable.

 

[Qonfused]

RPG's in CS:S would be bad... just because it would change the game too much. Maybe grenade launchers would be better a la AA's M203.

 

[jmjneary]

maybe in cs2

 

[piggy]

cmon valve release CS2 already

The best idea I can think of for a new weapon for the terrorists is a suicide bomber.

You would purchase the bomb and only be able to carry a pistol as well. The explosion would be smaller that the normal bomb you plant but would be able to take out several CT's at once, perhaps swinging the tide of the game in favour of the T's.

You could hide in a corner and wait for 3 or 4 CT's to come along then detonate. Sure you die, but you take 4 CT's with you.

Which would start a whole new era of camping and laming. No thanks. Although I suppose you could make a fuse on the bomb, takes 5 seconds to blow and will make a sound, camping won't help you then.

No news yet though. ;(

Yea, as mentioned, that would result in some very frustrating gameplay. Maybe if that Terrorist would have to get to a certan point and then explode, it might be fun. The CT would have to shoot him down and if they do, he explodes lol. That would be similiar to the escape maps in the old days. Anyway, the portable kamikaze bomb is too powerful and won't create interesting gameplay.

I used to do this when i played DoD years ago threw a grenade on the ground and picked back then sprinted at the fools, killing them in the ridiculously large explosion.It was fun to do but it was just gay as all-get-out when it happened to you. Of course now in DoD apparently being able to pick up and throw grenades back is impossible and if you do it you have hacks according to all the players on the server when I tried to get back into it.

those were the days.. you could prime a nade on the church tower and just nose dive into all the germans, blowing them all to shreds.

God no....RPG Launchers will create a whole new era of hatred on CounterStrike Source. People already whine about this in other games, I agree with them. I wouldn't like it if some 12-year old with a Panzerschek would "pwn" me 20 mazillion times in a row either.

HOWEVER, if Valve ever did implement an RPG into the game, a few things would need to be done:

1) Make it a non-guided RPG.

2) Have it at an incredibly high price, so not just anyone can buy it. You'll need a lot of kills to afford it.

3) Have a much lower splash-damage count than RPGs in current games. Perhaps around 65 damage, the actual rocket would do 30 damage, so you'd need alot of health to survive an RPG shot.

The one weapon I'd be happy to see in CounterStrike Source is a Revolver, just like Half Life 2's Magnum .357.

They took away the shields, so they obviously want to change some aspect of the gameplay.


PS VALVe: I want my shield back!

 

[Uni-Ball]

God we don't need sheilds for idiots to spam and glitch, we don't need camping kamikazes and we don't need RPGs for the winning team to dominate even more; but we do need is some DIrty Harry action, Revolvers =P

 

[Cukel]

I wrote a 100 word reply to this thread one day, but for my delight, it seems that it didnt post it for some reason. The main idea of my post however was that CS:S needs more maps converted from 1.6, like militia, train, inferno, estate, assault and so on.
And the vehicle idea was interesting too, but I would like that you cant operate the vehicles totally, CTs would have spawn points in the helicopters, wich would land on a facility captured by terrorrists, or you would have few "pickup" points in the map, where the copter would pick you up when called, and then transport you to another. You could ofcourse shoot while in. Or something like this Its an idea to develop.
And yeah, the beta-style APC:s and trucks should do a comeback.

And someone said heatvision. Sounds thrilling for nightmaps. CT:s could like hide in the bushes next to a road where the terrorrists are coming, and snipe them silently. CS:S needs something new, or it will wither away when people get bored to the same old.

EDIT: and about the RPG, how often do you see SWAT-teams running in to a hostage scene with RPG:s on their back? Sheesh. Same for the revolver, not really realistic.
