[tldr;]Grenade Launcher
#9
Wow, I can't believe I didn't think of it as a pickup :o

That'd be really neat! Maps would have two pickup weapons (not just akimbo)

Not sure what you mean by unrealistic... (other than converting the hand-grenades to rounds)

This looks nice, almost AC-ish.

There are a lot of conditions that would have to be satisfied there for that to happen, and it'd be rather infrequent :P (Even with a larger area-of-effect I think)

Even if they did get kicked in such a worst-cased scenario, I think that'd be cool (Can't tell you how many times since I started playing AC (2+ years ago) I'd headshot a teammate accidentally and sorta grinned [even the victim usually "lol'd"]) -- the auto-kick makes it even better cause you don't know why you disconnected, then you see "kicked for teamkilling" or similar.

It wouldn't have that "unique" feel compared to the others I think, in spite of, or perhaps because of the weapon using specialized ammo (whereas other weapons in AC use standard ammo)

Frogulis Wrote:Games with several grenade launchers per team. This doesn't need a whole lot of explanation.
I don't think a lot of people would attempt that for strategy more than novelty. They'd all be sharing the same ammo, have the same low area of effect/rate of fire, and still have the friendly fire/suicide risk.

append: Don't know how many of you are familiar with Super Smash Brothers, but that'd be like Snake's final smash -- drop grenade launcher after all rounds are gone or after set time, whichever came first (could be low usage time, pick-up have long spawn delay)

I think I like the idea of it being a pick-up the most (though I don't know if I'd have it replace your primary/secondary/override all weapons until expired)

Akimbo would still be the only pickup reloadable with an existing ammo type capable with long-range and it could have a longer usage time than the grenade launcher.

(I'm already fantasizing a 2 akimbo VS 1 grenade launcher) :P
