Spawn Without Out Pistols & Make Pistols FREE

MistaD · April 7, 2010 at 6:14 PM

This is a poll to see if you guys (and gals) want to respawn without the pistols. I noticed that most players simply throw them away right after they spawn. Also, they can become a nuisance, especial when someone is bunker raping. But I also know that a small group of people do use them (like Arborist and Poobar are always killing me with them ), so to keep them happy too,we can just reduce the price of the pistols and pistol lasers to 0.

In conclusion:
1. No longer respawn with pistols.
2. Change price of pistols and the pistol's laser to 0 (aka Free).

What do you guys think? Any comments questions or concerns are appreciated =]

I would agree that pistols can be somewhat annoying. But they have saved my life more than once and they are great for identifying enemies without being seen. I can see the advantage to having them free and not spawning with them, however I can't help but feel as someone will somehow abuse this. Since pistols are such great weapons some may just use the free pistols and save for vehicle, aircraft or pr's. For that reason i vote no for now.

I love the idea. If it somehow results in unintended consequences, we can obviously just change it back.

However, I suspect that MistaD's idea will result in less, not more pistols in the server overall. As D said, most people throw their pistols away (which still doesn't make loads of sense to me).

No weapons as good as pistols should be free.

Spawn with free shotgun........maybe.

PISTOLS FREE YAY!!!!!! (but only if lazers are free too....)

How about making the lasers for the pistols as much as the pistols and the lasers combined? And still have the pistols be free? Just a thought.

50 points for a pistol laser? Why?

to spite you.

but to mitigate giving away a free good weapon. Pistols without the lasers serve the same purpose as having you spawn with them. I guess its the same principle as not having you spawn with the pistol lasers.

Finally, lets for sure not start out with them at respawn, also free thats great nothing wrong with a good thing. lasers for pistols and silencers free too. i'm all for it. I VOTE YES! as far as what to start out with in bunker i would want something automatic in case someone is bunker raping like a fy, most people dont use them anyway so kill, throw, then buy somthing better thats the robocop way
