1) Crossbow is in the same category as sniper, actually.
2) LMG, kind of. It's a bit of an AR honestly. Also, it would be hard to balance this weapon.
3) No, it isn't always a good thing. Especially with AC, as it's supposed to be simple.

Sorry to thumb down all of your points in that post. :P

GShG-7.62... D: or a flamethrower like in GTA lololol

[Huntsman]

Scar, that would be the best weapon to use, but falls under the assault rifle

[Lantry]

A lot of the suggestions for "new weapons" could easily be satisfied by a good mod. for example, there is a scar mod in the assault rifle section on this site. I haven't tried it, but it looks nice. Check it out!

Just make LMG jam/overheat if too many shots are fired in one burst, so people have to wait for it cool down or something.

Also, flamethrower would be pretty cool. Splash damage, and sets your clothes on fire for some continuous damage after.

More weapons doesn't kill simplicity T.T
I hate the current weapons ^^

[Cemer]

Lol, AC needs simplicity... but more weapons
Other than the above and lawn mowers... I agree with Orynge... crossbow and lmg are no's for me... Sorry forums...
Any other ideas?

As more weapons are added simplicity is taken away.

If you hate them, why are you playing?
Win.

LMG:

• Damage: 30 (4-shot kill)
  
• Attackdelay: 150 ms
  
• Reload: 2900 ms
  
• Ammo: 45 magsize, 90 base, 135 max
  
• Spread: Similar to SMG, probably less
  
• Recoil: Similar to AR, maybe more (?)
  

Probably not perfectly balanced, but an attempt.

[Frogulis]

Hrmm...I like the idea of a revolver as a kind of slow and clunky but high power version of the current pistol. It might even tempt me to use the secondary more!
For the current primary weapons, they're alright as they are. Just try and find a way to keep them all at the same usefulness and I'll be happy :)

LMG? why not just MGs. 100 bullets per round and 200 bullets in total

Tell that to every other fps which is just as simple and has 50+ weapons perfectly balanced.

and I like taking a break from hardcore stuff and getting easy stuff on AC once in a while, even if the weapons all hate me :)

[Lantry]

every other fps is "just as simple and has 50+ weapons perfectly balanced" because they are professionally made, as in people are paid to work on them. and anyway, most of these aren't perfectly balanced. Most of them have better guns that can be unlocked by paying cash or being a really good player.

Because, assuming you use those stats, you can hold the trigger for 13 seconds straight. 100 bullets would be close to 30 seconds, and that'd just be overkill.

45 is significant enough to have a "big clip" feeling, while still staying in range with the other weapons

[Lantry]

yeah, it's already more powerful than the AR with twice the clip (using ventex's stats). The spread should probably be more than the smg, imo, with about the same recoil as AR.

Like I suggested, make the thing overheat/jam if the burst is too long (e.g. at 15 rounds per second, make it overheat after 3-4 seconds, and provide a large clip).

[Kush_Slayer]

what would be the point of an lmg besides to encourage camping?

[CyberKlown28]

@ kush
I don't see how it makes camping easier with that compared to any other weapon. But anyhow, LMG's are usually "Support" weapons. Meaning run out spraying like a madman while your team runs by using you as cover. Obviously that would be less used in AC for that reason...CTF could definitely still use that "strategy"
but run into their base and spray like crazy to destroy their camping <3

[pwned]

@VenteX

well, reduced the damage then and increase recoil. there is a point where MGs will balance with the current weapons that AC has.
MG always has big mag

[Lantry]

yeah, that's what i'm afraid will happen with any sort of "heavy weaponry".

Revolver, on the other hand, is a sure bet!

[VenteX]

Revised Concept LMG Stats:

• Damage: 17 (6-shot kill)
  
• Attackdelay: 130 ms
  
• Reload: 2900 ms
  
• Ammo: 60 magsize, 60 base, 120 max
  
• Spread: Consistently low
  
• Kickback: High, even more than AR
  
• Recoil: Lower than AR
  

Now, assuming these stats, here is how the gun would stack against other weapons:

Pros:

• Great for long range defense
  
• Large Clip; can allow 10 kills on unarmored enemies
  
• Effect Rifle-Sprinting
  

Cons:

• Slightly long time to kill
  
• Reload time is a handicap
  
• Hard to move forward while shooting
  
• Having only one spare clip to start means you will have to scavenge a bit
  

So what place would a gun like this have in AC? If the SMG were to rival the AR, this gun would be rivaling the Carbine. Both are slow to kill, but effective at defending your base if you have a good line-of-sight.

I very much want a LMG in AssaultCube!

[Vermi]

Please god, No machine guns.

[Huntsman]

It would make the game too unfair...
