[REQ] Weapon Stats

[maddawg]

I was wondering if you could post a list of the stats of all the weapons (Damage, Rate of Fire, Clip, Semi/Auto, Etc.) I don't want it in game though, just on the forums. If you post it in an in game tab or something all the noobs would just use the same weapon because (OMG L33T DEAGLE DUZ OVR 9000 DAM!!!!) But on the forums I think it would be OK.

why? so everyone can pick the most OP weapon?

[Warden4384]

Yeah pretty much.

[maddawg]

No, that's why I said don't post it in game. I just like to know. It really wouldn't change the weapons I use.

1. that would ruin the fun, because everyone will walk around with the same weapon
2. everyone has a preffered weapon, and will then force the OP weapon on him/her-self
3. CP's are going to complain to spawn that that weapon.

It's not like it's not happening right now.
Everyone picks either:SG552, M3, AK, AWP or (pistol)Deagle. Others pick what they can afford with little cash they have.
Oh, and about the "fun"-
There is no fun in picking weapons(unless you're a gun maniac), you go buy a weapon, realise it's awful and that you just wasted your money on it, and then probably have to buy another one.

I don't get the second one

Quote:3. CP's are going to complain to spawn that that weapon.

You mean to spawn with it? I haven't heard anyone complain about what they spawn with in a while, I hardly believe this will change anything.







I still can't see why there can't be a list. I would actually like to know the exact accuracy/damage/rate of fire etc. of my weapon so that I could arm my self better.

Even greater idea is to give the gun dealer the ability to see the stats. I mean, he is an arms dealer, he should know the stats of the guns he sells. That way, he can recommend a gun to his customer.

OR maybe, just maybe, after using a specific gun(Shoot and reload) the stats will add up into the users list which can be found in a panel in the F4 menu.

I prefer the P228 over the deagle.
Some armsdealers build firing ranges to test the gun.


In my opion: it's not going to happen (Drake won't make it)

And if you don't see the fun in guns, then you're taking guns too seriously.

As I said, some people choose guns that they prefer, yet, almost everyone walks with the exact same weapons every time.

...But most arm dealers know their guns because they have a paper with statistics dedicated to each weapon.

By this point I am not sure what you mean by "fun". Do you mean killing people? Yes, it might be fun to mow down a cp squad with an M3, but if you mean testing it, buying it, no. You have to waste money on possibly a shitty gun if you are new since you don't know it's stats.

You know the gun stats in CoD, and not everyone uses the same gun as long as one gun isn't super OP. And as I said, knowing the stats would not really change my opinions on the guns much. For example, I use the P228 if I am feeling cheap/casual use. 5-7 is my raiding pistol because of the high ammo clip. The Glock is kind of like my mugging pistol I guess you could say. I use deagles and .357s for defensive purposes. Deagle more for Trader/GD classes. Magnum is more for like being a mayor where your main goal is to escape the situation, survive, and let the CPs handle it, not chase after them and get revenge.


I already have purposes for every pistol (Not gonna go over every gun in the game, obviously). Knowing the stats would not change what I use really. It's more just because I am interested in knowing the stats.

Anyway, Most of the guns weapon stats are already semi-known. For example, everyone knows the AK has high damage with bad accuracy and a low rate of fire, while the M4 has medium-low damage with High accuracy and rate of fire. All that knowing the stats does is give you exact details, which I would like to know.

I think knowing the stats could actually give MORE weapon variety. Example: I have never bought a Scout because everyone says AWP is better. However, maybe I look at the stats and realize something like "Oh wow, I think I may actually try out the scout!"

And as I said before, I think the stats should remain just on the server, to prevent 1000 minges running around going "OMG L33T DEAGLE DUZ OVR 9000 DAM!!!!" Here on the forums, most people are pretty serious players, and would not do that.

No because each weapon has its own file and I can't be arsed to go through them all

I will tell you the MP5 is intentionally incredibly overpowered though
