Here are two ideas that I had been thinking of before I stopped playing. I wrote them down a while back and, looking through my old computer, decided I'd just put them out there for the fuck of it (so feel free to add your input however positive or negative it is).
1.) in match mode only, each player gets one mine to start the game. this mine can be placed anywhere on the map as long as it is 15 units away from the flag and there is 5 units of space to walk on all sides of this hypothetical idea. only the allied team and spectators/refs can see these mines. the mine would take 10 seconds to set up (adding a little risk to placing it) and if the player setting it up moves or is killed in the middle of placing it, they lose their mine. each player gets only one mine per game.
why add this? it gives a little bit of risk/reward to both teams and makes running with a flag slightly more risky.
2.) a heavy machine gun. holds 45 bullets in one clip and has a slower firing rate than the AR. it would ignore all armor and would have the old AR's damage figures (100/76/52/28/4). it would also have 1.5 times the amount of kickback that the current AR has and a higher spread. you would not be able to reload this gun or get more ammo and would have to switch to pistol/nades/akimbo when you run out of ammo. ammo would only be replenished upon death. (if the cube engine can't ignore ammoboxes with this weapon, then perhaps stepping on an ammobox would give 1 bullet only)
why add this? this weapon would have a large power upside since it kills an enemy from 100 HP in five shots regardless of armor. however, the fact that you are only given 45 bullets until death, that you have an incredibly high kickback, that your fire rate is slow, and that your spread is high, this weapon would have high rewards but higher risks. i think it would be really interesting to see a team composition that tries to incorporate a heavy machine gun user.
1.5 times the amount of kickback??!! Half the amount of kickback from the AR is still unrealistic? So every time you shoot you end up facing the sky?
