The three projectiles doesn't do that much to help get kills esp. with the accuracy we prolly have by now -- but if a rapier swung slower it might work out. One would prolly still own the other though.

Could do a little less damage as well. I can't help but think that a cutlass gash is more dangerous the rapier stab.

Edit: As for the 3 projectiles not helping: they must help me, since I suck even worse with the vanilla knife. I know I regularly get hits while someone is moving to my side in a chaotic swordfight. Short of server delay, that has to be the side projectiles.

Heh, has anyone ever tried orchestrating a multiple cutlass kill?

I always thought the best way would be to make it faster and weaker. It would be totally balanced and would require two totally different strategies. I'd be much more eager to engage in melee then.

i hate people that just run backwards in swordfights already. Razz no reason to encourage it with longer range imo. Wink

the higher speed and less damage is interesting though. It could be favorable for newbies. But it should be slower to kill in the same time frame to keep a couple good shots better than nooby spray and pray.

I want to fight for wenches. Hmm, I made a female pirate for HL2 after I finished that other pirate. Cant recall what i did with her now. :/

I want AI coop, even if they only use swords... or maybe musket and sword just make their musket like K98 and cutlass = knife. though I suppose switching is the problem. Just swords i guess. Smile Cant remember if they were sword rapers or not...

A rapier pickup kit would be awesome. Perhaps a dueler's kit... rapier and some small, weak pistols. We ought to start thinking about what weapons could even work in BFP.

I always thought a one-hit-kill super musket would be sweet, if there was only one on the map.


I really want to expand the balloon scene in Pirates.

Wasn't there a third-party group working on BFP AI before? Whatever happened with that?

A 1 shot musket would like ruin some things like in CTC where you manage to hit the Flag carrier when he's running up the ramp and you're no where near him.

I think balance wise, bfp did a good job with a wide array of weapons. But I did always felt that it was lacking in the vehicles.

Yeah, that ruins it for a map like CTC where you really need the two hits outside of a head shot, but that's not necessarily the case on every map. I think overpowered items can be lots of fun in extreme moderation; if we set up a map where the gun was a reward or incentive to visit a certain area of the map it could be quite interesting. I think a good map is made up of incentives... what makes people actually want to interact with your level's features.

Map-specific weapons are something we only scratched the surface with on Short on Supplies, Coconuts, etc. We need to figure out how certain weapons can define a map.

Yea, I think my first rendition of Frylar had no close up weaponry. You'll also notice that there's no falcs either. Sorry Axe. <3

I think I enjoy most helping new mapper's learn the bf AI so they can design their maps from the onset to play how they envision they should.

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
