Weapon Attachments

[Appclypse]

How do you think that wepons attachments on this game will be ballanced. Like if you have a grenade launcher attached will it make you less accurate or a silencer decrease range or something. Like what could compele you to not use a scope?

[PuertoRecon]

Well, I'm thinking you will have to unlock or earn the attachments. It would be rather boring if they just gave them to you. I'm not talking about a rank system here, just some kind of method that makes you earn them.

I would imagine the attachments would include grenade launchers, those silent bullet things (not a silencer, but the bullet that you fire at someone and then activate)etc...

Blah, I am getting tired of the whole ranking thing.

I guess its cause in 2142 half the people that play use bugs to get there unlocks and then it ruins it for people like me.

[Appclypse]

Yes but in what situation would it be better to have iron sites than a scope or reflex thingy? Enless the iron sites were better in some way for some situtation?

[PuertoRecon]

That would depend on the map you're playing, I guess.

[Appclypse]

Yes but what i am saying is why would you want to use a iron sight when you can use a reflex for example. Would it work like say you have a grenade lancher on your gun so you have decreased accuracy?

[PuertoRecon]

I'm not sure about what you're reffering to, but I think that you will be able to add various attachments at the same time.

[Appclypse]

Hmm i probably didn't explain well. What I am saying is that will adding attachments affect your stats of your wepon like ghost recon, for example, you could add a grenade launcher it would increase the weight and make the gun a lot less steady.

Well, you can probably expect that to happen. I think we all know that Crytek is aiming for the best they can possibly provide. Just the fact that we are going to have all of these attachments with our primary gun is a level beyond most, if not all games out there right now. Most games have grenade (smoke and frag) launchers or like in 2142 (shotty's and rockets) but that is basically it. Crysis has several.

[ReaperOfsouls]

Should be interesting, I am guessing they would implement a system like drag was referring to since they are shooting for realism to a degree.

[Appclypse]

Drag?

Lol, I could not remember your name all I remembered was your avatar lol.

RoFl..:laugh:

I really hope they balance it right. I don't want to be able to simply attach everything and have the best gun possible.

I don't think they'l let that happen.

I think its kinda lame that the game revlolves around that one weapon system.

At i28 in that latest video he says there are rpg's and other things but the scar and ak with attachments are pretty much it.

Thats kinda plan, it might not be because there are so many options but more then likely it will be like how it was in AA and 80% of the players use the same gun layout because its the best.

Same thing happens in every single game. I think that whether it happens or not in Crysis depends on the variety and how they fit every single gun so that it has an advantage in over every other gun in different, unique, situations.

Yh i was always the only one on the map who didn't us the grenade launcher and just stuck with the heat shield and the ranger sight thingy

[RaptoR]

I am not completely sure, but I think from one gameplay video I saw, the player opened a menu which consisted of multiple windows which represented one attachment. From what I saw it seemt like only one was availeable at a time. Please prove me wrong, it's a long time since I saw the vid.

[Appclypse]

No you can attach as many as you want, but i recently found out that, for example, if you add a silencer, your velocity is reduced and therefore your range and power.

I think also that if you add a scope it adds weight or something to the gun, if you add grenade launchers does the same. But i dunno how they gona balance the flash lights and stuff because i noticed you can just stick them on the side of the gun so it odesn't take up the position of something else.

You will have to buy your equipment like in Counter-Strike. You will gain money from frags and from completing objectives. You also acquire vehicles in the same manner, and when you buy a vehicle it is yours and no one else can take it. Enemies will be able to purchase lock-picking kits to steal vehicles or use TAC ammo to put you to sleep behind the wheel.

I wonder why people are so terrified of "balance", every other post is balance this, balance that, I hope it;'s balanced. I just hope the game is fun and doesn't suck.
How would the game be unbalanced if EVERYONE has the SAME WEAPONS and EVERYONE can do the SAME THING?
