Quote: Why would I worry about using the nexgun in a box room, when I can fire, and insta change too a RL, fire, and insta change back too the nexgun, it doesn't require me too think 'If I get caught out here, I am going too have too either stick with this weapon, or wait for a delay in weapon changing till I can swap too the mortar'.
While fast weapon switching is a fun part of xonotic, it takes away a huge skill component especially for competitive gaming. If you can smash buttons quick enough you wont get punished for attending a fight with the wrong weapon. This + the very simple armor + health system is what could be tweaked to get xonotic on a higher level (but obviously the needs of newer players shouldn't be forgotten about either). When the 1v1 tournament is over I might test some things myself. (I said TEST, to see how it works, I wont force anything on anyone; inb4 emo devs)
