V-LOG 24 — New turret?

 "New Turrets" will ruin the game as we know it

People said that about Shaft when it was first released, but it didn't ruin the game. You can't say these new turrets will ruin the game until you've gotten the chance to try them.

 

__________________________________

Anyway, my comments:

 

I am really looking forwards to the new shotgun turret. It seems like the pellets have vertical spread, however; will this affect the number of pellets that hit your enemies? Here are the names that I can think of right now.

  • "Enforcer"- I like this name. Many others have suggested this for the same reason, presumably.
  • "Shellshot"- A play on words. Shotshells are standard shotgun rounds, so switch around the words within and you get something that is also reminiscent of "shell shock". I think it's pretty cool.
  • "Vanguard"- Vanguards are the people at the tip of the spear, the first to meet enemy combatants. This shotgun seems like it would be useful for that type of gameplay.
  • "Scattershot"- Perhaps a rather common name for a shotgun, but still a cool one.
  • "Halberd"- Halberds are old medieval polearm-type melee weapons. Shotguns and melee weapons are both good for close range, so you get the point.

I'll add to this list later.

 

The new Shaft laser sight looks cool, but I don't like it. As a Shafter, I pride myself on my camouflage skills; I can conceal myself and wreak havoc on the enemy team, causing massive paranoia. That's psychological warfare enough. A laser sight would be extremely intimidating towards enemies, but it wouldn't be good for "stealth assassins" like me, since I'd have to go through a lot of trouble to conceal my laser sight (not charging up unless they're looking away from me).

 

I suggest that the laser sight have a toggle function; by default, it's off, and only teammates can see your laser sight, so you can still cover them. If you switch it on, everyone can see your laser sight, but to balance it out, your scope sway should be reduced somewhat. With this solution, people who do non-camouflaged fighting can take advantage of a cool and useful laser sight, and people who are guerrilla snipers like me can remain stealthy at the cost of normal sway. It shouldn't be hard to find a key to bind the toggle command to.

I wonder if the Shotgun could flip my Wasp if I were to shoot it sideways and consecutively in a rapid succession. After all, the impact would be very similar to Railgun's, but three times at Smoky's speed! On the other hand, a machine gun sounds very intriguing. I wouldn't mind getting it for my Mammoth if the range is great enough.

But so many things to consider when buying, and that's not even counting new hulls! I will definitely need to conserve my crystals. No new paint for me then - Digital is good enough. :)

As for Shaft. . . .That thing is a Predator . . .No really, it reminds me of one.

Awesome V-LOG this time round; didn't even notice its extended length whilst watching it, some really interesting stuff there!

 

My idea for a potential name for the new turret would be 'Blitz', considering it means 'an intensive or sudden attack', often involving a 'bombardment' of numerous missiles. I think it could suit the characteristics of this weapon pretty well - it might also be a good idea to hold a contest of some sort to find the best name ^_^

John Moses Browning invented the shotgun soooooo maybe we could name the new turret Brownie or Browning........

 

The machine gun name could be called Spitter.

you know, dictator would also work for the new turret... but you know what that means! p.s. it means renaming dictator :mellow:

another could be: halberdier (i'm pretty sure that those were medieval things, but i kight be wrong, but it still sounds pretty cool... right?

plz don't update shaft i like it how it is it is unique how it is you can tell where it is looking like any other game by were it is pointing. besides shaft is suppose to be a sneaky weapon thats the point of it. This update of shaft will only make shaft a easier target by putting that laser on it people will know where they are and know were to shot them and then shaft would probably be the worst gun in the game cause you can move without people seeing you cause of the laser. i don't know about any one else but shafts my favorite and i love to be sneaky and i still get killed a lot and people still end up finding me and killing me so we don't need a laser i can tell all the time if a shaft is looking at me cause of were its facing. When i heard about the update i was very upset beuase i have always used shaft.
