[SUGGESTION] Weapon: Ice Burster

#1
So, the basic idea is, that all of the weapons are more or less developed for nuke the enemy into bloodsplatters and IMO there should be at least one "tactical" weapon.

My suggestion: Ice Burster

Idea
This is the weapon, which makes no damage at all nor reduce the armour. It just simply freezes the enemy for a few seconds (please, suggest how many seconds, maybe 1 or 2). While the enemy is frozen, (s)he can't move nor control his/her moving nor shoot.

Usage
Well, the main idea is, that this weapon isn't the best choice in DM. Of course you can freeze your target and then nuke him/her with another weapon (frozen seconds should be low so this cannot be OP tactic), but the best usage should be in teamplay, especially on CTF. You can freeze the enemy flag carrier preveting him/her escaping so your teammates can finish the dirty job (this needs teamplay, mostly on public servers people just want frags) or he/she fells into void while he/she can't control the jump.

Fire types
Primary (Freezing Ball): Shoots one fast-moving ball to the target (as fast as Crylink ammo). The enemy is frozen immediately when got hit. Ammo cost is around 10 per shot (whatever ammo type it has) Hard to aim, but you can hit long-range targets.

Secondary (Freezing Burst): Fires "flamethrower-like" freezing ice, which has small range but wide firing area (like ordinary shotgun). The enemy must be hit by burst for around 0.5 secs before getting frozen (freeze isn't instant). Ammo cost is 1, but it costs ammo all the time while bursting. Easy to aim, but just for enemies which are next to you.

Appearance
Well, I'm not an artist so someone else should model this weapon... But here's some art which should give an idea:

I like this. Maybe too much "bling", but something like this.

And something else...
