First of all, good to see some positive feedback and suggestions.
Adding a reload to the mg will really make the weapon useless how it currently is, I am positive of this, it really isn't that powerful when your against a certain type of weapon, against the LG it is better at distance because the lg can't reach it and close up with good aiming it does a lot of damage, but even at mid-ranges primary loses it's effectiveness a LOT!
We made it chew through a lot of ammo so that if you use it, you can't just go mg spamming constantly or you will be out of ammo, also tested it vs the different weapons to see how it handled in different types of situations.
Lase:- divVerent the reason I suggested disabling laser for the FC was because it makes little sense to me why the FC can just grab the flag and always laser away making these 6-7 second caps that were all too familiar in nexuiz, it wouldn't mean you can't use it, you can still use it to attack and to chase the FC that was my reasoning, anyhow I actually prefer what frutiex did to be honest, I think I also agree with what someone said to increase the force a bit more for it perhaps, perhaps go to 250 with the force I think would be ok?
I would say either increase force slightly, or leave it as it was in nexuiz and increase self-damage to a high/er amount, I prefer to have a lowerforce so you need to do multiple laser walljumps if you want to get to somewhere high without taking a jump-pad or something.
Oh yea, physics also..I really lean more towards the XPM one's more and more compared to current default xonotic, more useable and easier to gain momentum not as sluggish when you have to stop/start, I admit there is a curve to learning them but there effectively the same as the xonotic one's except you need to learn to strafe, and if new movement is put in people are going to have to learn that movement anyway, just my thoughts.
And lastly I had a lot of fun just messing about playing ffa and clan-arena with those of you who tested them with us last night, haven't had that much fun doing that for a while, will try to organise a specific date, so we can get more people involved in playing and testing.
