Picking up guns

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 3:57 pm

Ok. so i know that heavies can pick up all guns. mediums can pick up medium and light guns and light can pick up light guns. but i was looking at the abilities and one of the abilities of the soldier is that he can resupply from dead enemys. so my question is that when you pick up a gun from an enemy do u pick up his ammo to? and like in mw2 each gun had its own ammo. is it like that or is it like smg ammo, assult rifle ammo, sniper ammo. and so on? In the cinemtic trailer it showed a light running a picking up a lot of guns from people. well i like doing that in all games. could i do that?

The ability refills your supply, which is the meter for power usage. I don't know if you can actually pick up guns at all in this game.

Last i had heard, but this might be out-dated, is that when you pick up a gun, you get whatever ammo is left in the gun you pick up and that's it. So its a risky thing to do unless you run out of ammo or have a soldier near-by.

I heard the same as xShadowcat.

Also unsure if it's up-to-date.

And CapnHowdy21 is right about the Supplies being the counter for ability use.

The issue here is what happens when a light tries to pick up a heavy gun!

Lol just kidding, i assume if the light were to walk over the heavy gun it would treat the heavy gun as being a non-existant entity in the game and would display no message.

Don't say "uhm duh" at me, its not actually as obvious as it sounds.

I agree it's a legit question. That's part of the game and something the devs thought of at one point. Another option is it could be red or faded or have a red X over the actual X button and make a negative beep noise when you try. Lot's of possibilities.

Or you could be able to pick it up but restricted in movement until you drop it, too...

I would rather it just doesn't show the option at all though :) Things popping up on screen have adverse affects when you cannot carry out the task its telling you to do.

It's all in your head. You see a redded out weapon you think GODDAMIT WHY CAN I NOT PICK UP THIS GUN!

you see no gun and you are none the wiser because there was nothing for you to do :)

Edit: Over-encumberment will never work in an FPS :P

I never said it was a good idea.

Only that it's a possibility.

And they've done it in a few TPS games which worked well enough.

Are you trying to be annoying or something?

You clearly made up that quote. Proof: You can only post once every 60 seconds. Your quote states i posted at 9:49 the only other post i made during the time of 9:49 is the one right above your quote, nowhere in my post does it say those words and it also does not say i edited my post so i could not have possibly removed what you quoted me to have said. That and the 60 second rule means i can't have posted in the same minute.

Anyway ass mode off-

I'm sure that SD have already figured out how the whole picking up guns will work.

I can honestly say that I'll miss you.

I can also honestly say I'll be shooting someone else at the time though, so I'm not sure it counts as a miss...

I will miss a few people from these forums. The people who actually provide genuine discussion. Which for the most part is a lot of the people here.
