OK, good, my faith in humanity is still sound.

As far as doing this in Aleph One, we only have actions flags for prev/next, so the only way to do it would be a kludgy macro that would figure out how many prevs or nexts to send...yuck.

why aren't triple fires instituted? and over 8 weapons...
is it because forge and avil would become angry?
I would love that, it would make scenarios and crap so much easier.
And then you could triple wield.

Because...err...well...we only have 2 hands right?

I'd felt odd if I am using a gun with 3 triggers...

Heh, we'd be having lotsa issues.


Attacking with tails sounds too much like Alien, sorry.

If we arn't careful we will have people complaining because it takes them 777 hours to switch to their favorite weapon...

Lol, I had the idea of a weapon being replaced with and Ipod in hand. A script changes the firing sound to music so you can listen to it and beat people over the head with it :D the music file would be external so you can change it!

that... is awsome!

you can base an entire scenario around you swaving around with your Ipod! instead of being the batleroid huminoid killer, your a guy with jeans and a white t-shirt walking around minding your own buisness... (while nocking zombies out of the way)
