Brandishing Firearms
« on: February 08, 2017, 02:18:38 PM »
So if I were to exit my aircraft, and other folks did the same, and we meet in a meadow or glade somewhere, and shot each at each other, would we kill each other?

In other words, does AH3 work as a FPS? I know the pilot parts don't articulate.

And if we do, could there be a neutral base that we could all land at and run around and shoot each other?

Go into the DA with two other guys and up storchs. Then at the same time bail out and meet on the ground. We did that a lot during the open alpha testing stage of AH3 about 18 months ago around the new HQ object. There used to be a bug where your pilot could push his arm into another pilot and get stuck that way........ :eek:

At the risk of being dumped in wishlist or <shudder> the O'club, why now have a little arena where we can run around a town and kill each other with handguns?

You can already do that in any town on any map.

mutha, you can take it even further: In the previous versions of AH it has been reported several times that a bailed pilot has killed a tank by shooting the driver between the eyes through the viewing slot. A vague memory also tells me that someone has dropped a plane with his handgun.

I know czok destroyed my base sups and my pintle gun on my m3 when I was trying to save a port in AH II .. That little stinker! But when I finally caught him walking around my m3 I decided to see if I can kill him by running him over since he destroyed my pintle gun... Boom! .. Took weeks to get his blood off my bumper

One time Betty and Kermit were messing around in the woods and they saw me fly over their heads.   They hollered out on 200 for me to give them a duel.  Not being one to back down from a challenge I duly turned back.

I did a few go arounds to determine their exact position and then bailed out nearby.   Kermit came running up the hill towards me like rambo and I ran for the cover of a shady tree. 

Using the left and right keys I popped out from behind the tree and shot kermit through the eye.   Betty was a bit further back by a barn so I had to walk down the hill a little bit.  It got a bit tense as I made my way from a little grouping of trees but then another gunfight ensued and she also got shot in the head.  Nearly fell out of my chair laughing, think I still have the film somewhere.    :D

I've stood in a hanger and killed a plane with a headshot to the canopy with my 45.

It would be amusing to have a location in MA that anyone can go to, with no GVs or planes - just a place to spawn in with your sidearm. Then we can go at it.

I presume I'll be given many reasons why this shouldn't happen. But having this kind of gameplay will attract newer players, and retain players who might be burning out.

I know the pilot graphics will suck, but if the gameplay is fun and popular, it can be iterated on, eventually incorporated to the overall game.
