  • more ammo....

    ...please?

    I know we have been running the sanc with this amount of ammo for an eon now, but is there anyone besides me that feels we could use a bit more ammo? Especially when there's 4v4 and up.

    How about a bit more flak and rocks and and some hitscan ammo? What do you guys think?

    You're not the first to mention this. I'm game for what ever the majority wants, but here's my theory.

    Sanctuary is a 14 man server, so at it's maximum capacity you will have 7 opponents. Here is the amount of ammo available:

    bioAmmoCount=5
    shockAmmoCount=20
    linkAmmoCount=100
    miniAmmoCount=75
    flakAmmoCount=12
    rocketAmmoCount=12
    lightningAmmoCount=10

    So to kill 7 players you have 30 total ammo between lightning and shock, 12 flak, 12 rockets not to mention the link and mini....

    How much more do you need? I personally think this creates an atmosphere that rewards good aim and discourages spam.

    It's up to you guys....

        Have to agree with Minion,less ammo has made me have to pick up my game.

              I too run out of ammo at times, but seeing how I'm usually the first guy to die on my team it's not real often.

                ok. I've found something that might help me....

                One of the problems with running out of ammo is it gets frustrating when i try to switch weapons in the middle of a fight only to find out that i don't have that weapon anymore. It usually leaves me in that deer in the headlights state and almost certainly means i'm about to die.

                So, i'll use pipe switched weapons for my favorite bind keys. That way, if i do run out of ammo, at least another weapon will pop up when i hit that key.

                Here's how it works:

                key=pipedswitchweapon x|pipedswitchweapon y

                Where x and y are numbers from 0 to 9, and correspond to your weapons

                The piped switch bind will switch to whichever of the two weapons (x and y) you have, and if you have both, it will go to the one you have listed first. If you have both, you can press the button again to switch to the second one.

                  Good idea, I have all my weapons pipeswitched, I only get a "no ammo available" message if I try to switch to an empty one.

                  I never thought about what would happen without using this setup...
