[Jacob/Lee]

I'd rather have an MG that needs to be emplaced to fire over a sniper rifle any day.

I'm more defense oriented, I'd rather chill back in my trench mowing down anybody that steps within a mile of me than push the offensive.

[TheBronzePickle]

The semi-auto is more than enough for sniping, although I'd be very happy for a more accurate rifle. A shotgun wouldn't do very well, especially considering it would likely be an unrealistic 5-foot range piece of crap. An MG would be nice, but the SMG pumps out plenty of firepower as it is.

What I want is the ability to host a private server separate from the server page that the owner can only host to whom they see fit. A bay 12 server would be the best server ever.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

The rifle used to be near pinpoint accuracy. Now it's been fiddled around with a bit and has a decent amount of spread which isn't as much fun for me.

Also that poll is rigged, apparently some idiots have been voting through proxies for the sniper rifle. I honestly don't see the point of a sniper rifle. Rarely have I seen a game where snipers have any balance. They're either shit or the whole server is playing as one.
Plus the semi-auto rifle was working fine as a long range weapon. Why add more to that?

The next choice on the list is a shotgun. Don't really see the point of a shot gun, it will just force everyone to go long range in fear of getting a shotgun blast in the face.
The smg is a bit underpowered in open conflict, as it's meant to be. It's main use seems to be rushing through trenches or through maze tunnels, something that a shotgun/trenchgun might completely cock up.

I voted for a machine gun personally. Something that you have to move, set up and stay set up. That would allow people to lock down areas while still being killable. Might put a bigger importance on tunnels, that since the auto-climb made an apperance seem to be losing populaity.

I have started playing again. And boy, do I SUCK. Getting headshoted every time I move to the nearest enemy fort, and getting shot to pieces by smg fire....
I will have to practice more.

Isn't the regular rifle good enough for sniping?

Unless you have an account on the Ace of Spades forums, then yes, it is.

EDIT: The results from the weapons poll are in. Results: People who voted for the sniper rifle know how to use proxies, and the shotgun will be the next gun to be added in the game.

*Sigh* I was just playing on a server and someone got mad at me for killing him. He then issued a votekick that claimed that I was a Griefer. It was successful. 

[TheBronzePickle]

Most people just assume that the votekick is for someone who deserves it. Which is something I've admittedly been guilty of before. Usually it doesn't work, though. And yes, a lot of the people on the games are stupid, childish idiots. I don't worry about it, though. They usually make easy targets.

Is the shot gun any good?

[Rumrusher]

Is the shot gun any good?

It's the tracer less gun good for doing raids or some what stealth killing folks from mid to close mid range if no one had spotted you which means groups of 5 people can be pot shot and won't know where the guy is. it's a terribly powerful gun for ambushers and make people question the SMG.
Though I usually just use the rifle and Pick axe for my battles.

[DrPoo]

Rifle's and SMGs are good for defence.

Rifle's are good for long range stealth

Shotguns's and Smg's are good for raids.

Grenades and Shotguns are good for fucking shit up completely.

Every weapon is useful and lethal in a way, even shovels.
We need flamethrowers, they burn stuff a bit, paints it black and deals alot of damage.

Also we need some kind of cool advanced medical mechanics allowing voxel surgeries like in voxelstein, as a gimmick.

[thobal]

I think flame throwers shouldnt destroy boxes, which is why I think people down want them.

I'd also like to see realistic flame throwers. As in the kind that spray a jelly like substance in a downward arc over a fairly long distance and keep the ground burning for a decent period of time. Not the crap we usually always get in the FPS genre.

What if they weaken, but not destroy Blocks?

[Jake]

The shotgun's actually my favourite weapon when fighting at close range, as it destroys cover easily and will usually one-shot anyone at close range. The spread pattern could stand to be more realistic though.

Oh, and is the Bay12 server still active? Because in addition to the griefers and the weirdos who keep building great big cocks everywhere, the game appears to have attracted a significant number of neo-Nazis.

[Rumrusher]

dang it neo-nazis found hitler back in ww1 and kick started the nazi reign early.
I wonder how people feel if I spend a good amount of time to recreate the Soviet's flag would that distract every one allowing the other team to sneak off with the intel?
I haven't been on the Bay12 server or knew there was one. I usually hang around Sham's and kinda like their idea of "Builders and Griefers" are two sides of the same coin and that with enough dedication to their hobby they both be annoying or bullet/pick axe fodder.
highlight was killing around 5 people at the same time with a pick axe because they where all trying to destroy a tower and all bunch up on each other.
