Dual Assault Rifle

No this isn't a new powerset thread. But instead of just new animations for it. I think for some of the powers there could be a possibility to use two guns instead of just one. I'm not sure if it will be that hard. You can probably reuse animations from the villain's dual pistol on the mm set. It's just a thought that has many holes in it. But it's just a thought.

Shuriken, given your post count I'm guessing you don't read the forums that much. In that case, you might want to check out the information on the upcoming Going Rogue expansion pack. It will includ a new Dual Pistols set.

Nah, I think I know what he means.
Dual wielding like so;



The problem is...well, one, that's unwieldy as hell right there. Two, it would require new animations. A lot of. Cos, all the skins atm for the rifle work cos it's still in the same place, blast wise. So, when you fire it, the muzzle flare is still in the same place. The body moves in the same way.
Two guns? Double headache for BaBs.

Exactly. ND just because my post count isn't high doesn't mean I don't read. I know about dual pistols. I've even seen them in action during hero con. This is a suggestion instead of making a whole new powerset just reuse animations or something. But no..I don't mean like actually rifles but there are sub machine guns in the games. You can dual wield them.

there aren't enough rifle powers in the game to make up a set. not to mention, just like techbot did, all new animations would have to be made up. when you see npc's fire the rifle from the hip it is from one side only. not from both sides which is what you are suggesting.

Work can be better spent in other places, IMO. I'd rather see 'arm guns' before this.

Power armour and arm cannons, please?
Gaaah, you've got me drooling now!

Now I'm not saying it's going to happen. Or whether or not it's worth the devs time to make alternate animations just to have this.

BUT...that bolded part up there and then copied for even more emphasis...well, one, that's unwieldy as hell right there....in a game of super strong, flying, fire blasting super heroes, is not a good arguement against it.

Not counting movies, but in comics themselves, there has been use of dual wielding Assault Rifles.

At least the OP was suggesting it as an alternate animation, rather than a whole new powerset.

Myeah, fair point actually.

Even so. Simply from a work point of view, I can see BaBs taking one look at this and facepalming.

I get what everyone is saying and what not. That's pretty much what I'm saying. Not a whole new powerset. I mean everyone has seen the dual pistol set used by the mms. I was just saying with that set a lot of the animations could be used in this one if it went dual wield. It's probably not possible but I'm just saying. Just put a smg or something in each hand and you pretty much have most of the powers in the assault rifle set.

Augh...no, no they really couldnt.
Let's go over this, shall we?

MM pistols;

Single shot
Dual Wield
Empty clips

Thats three animations scaled for a pistol size weapon.

Assault Rifle;

Burst. Longer than any of the others
Slug. Single shot, more kick.
Buckshot
Beanbag
M30 grenade. That one right there would be a pain.
Flamethrower. Whole new animation needed.
Ignite. See above.
Full Auto. Another new animation.

If you stole the animations from the Thugs enforcers and their dual uzi's then maybe, *maybe* you could cut it down a bit.

Even then...SMGs? Firing grenades, shotguns and beanbags? Dont even get me started on the flamethrower. Trying to fudge ways around that with a Tommy gun is hard enough....

I'm pretty sure there has been stupider ideas than mine. This was just an idea. Just like every other post in the section. You don't have to totally break it down. There were questions about more animations for other powersets in going rogue. This is just a suggestion if they plan on adding more animations. I get they had to add them for the sake of the "street fighting" hero for Ma, and super strength but who doesn't love this game for it's customization?
