Era Combat System

So, this is my idea.

Right now on Era the gun freeze time is how long your player freezes after you fire the gun. You press 1 to toggle strafe, and it is much like the classic, 'clunky' gun PK system.

Here is my idea for a revision to the gun system:

Instead of freezing every time you fire the gun, you continue moving while you fire it, and 'freeze time' is simply the time in between each bullet while you're holding down D. Also while you're holding down D you automatically strafe, so if you just want to shoot in a single direction you tap D instead of holding it down.

No more pressing 1 (which seems to be really random and not very sleek...) for strafing. How to reload you ask? R. Not A.

R is right next to D and is closer than A, plus R would stand for 'reload'.

Holding Shift + D would toggle whether or not the guns you had equipped were dual or not.

Shift+D would make your two uzi's dual, Shift+D again would make it a single uzi.


Thoughts?

didnt moondeath come up with that exact same idea almost like 3 years ago?? THIS IS MADNESS!!!

Era = PKing

That's all it is, and that's all it ever was.

I suppose it's possible He says he did, I believe him.

Era has more to it than PKing. Believe it or not some people just work in a business and don't even involve themselves with the PKing aspect. Some people just drive to be the strongest economically.

Ignore him I just made people on our vent aware that part of that idea I've been tossing around for many years now, but I'm pretty sure many others have thought of it too, the thing is the restriction on guns just flat out sucks. In all reality if you are holding a gun and you pull the trigger your body doesn't freeze in place I mean correct me if I am wrong now but I've fired of guns before in many occasions in which some took place at shooting ranges but nothing like that happened to me while doing so.

Referring to these:

well using R for the reload key isn't really a new concept to computer gaming.
