Dod Ammo

[Violation_Rollin Sr.]

Why can't ammo drop once you die? This way a player can simply pick up what is left on the battlefield, and not have to depend on the charity of others for ammo. An organized ammo pile is sometimes difficult to manifest. This would eliminate the frustration often experienced for the rocket and mg classes.

Any thoughts...

What about snipers?

I know, I'm a sniper, give me ammo already. If the developers didn't want me to kill 90 people, they wouldn't have given me 90 bullets.

Not kidding either; he's done it before

I don't believe there's anything to fix this; I have a "I need ammo!" keybind set up that I use.

Figures a sniper class would reply first....LOL

Ya, its really just a convenience issue above all else.

I am the first one to give ammo, but when I have rocket I have to beg for it

 

[LeviTheDegu]

It helps balance out the realistic factor/balance for ammo....(which is already off skew for the sake of gameplay)

 

[eurocracy]

Besides, we don't need rockets firing off every second because they don't run out of ammo, it'd be unfair.

I blow up ammo piles. Learn to survive with a pistol when you run out of mg ammo. And yes, I snipe also, and don't give any ammo, you never know how long you can go with a sniper rifle.

I tend to run out of pistol ammo before I run out of sniper ammo/mg ammo

So true. It's faster to switch to a sidearm than to reload, especially when in close quarters.

Don't take ammo lol. The ammo curse will haunt you..... Just ask people kindly over chat or voice with notification of your location. Someone is bound to give you ammo. Unless the person doesn't understand English at all, then there is no reason a person shouldn't be kind enough to offer it. A TEAM player tries to help out teammates in need.

Words we should live by

Seems like theres pros and cons to this idea....
I dont really care either way.. by the time i start worrying about ammo,
IM DEAD!

I'd have to disagree. with that.

I kind of agree as far as the rocket class goes. The rocket class player has what? 5 or 6 rockets, I forget.. They can be replenished yes, but their side arm cannot. I can think of many times I was on a massive streak with the rocket class and I ran out of rockets, just to notice my side arm was shot as well. -_-

Doesn't take long to exhaust rockets. The idea of elaborating on this wouldn't be the worst idea, as long as limitations are put into play to avoid spamming. ( There's only 1 rocket class player permitted, so I do not see how spamming would be much of a problem, if at all.)

I agree, I believe rockets have a long enough reload and when sidearm runs out, (which happens very fast), there is plenty of time to overrun a rocket position. It takes us forever just to lift the thing to our shoulder. More ammo for rockets would be a bonus. MG's are in same spot and people are good about giving them boxes. But I constantly beg for rockets when i play this class.

Because Flash would crash in 5 minutes with all the ammo boxes flying around.

Just remember, if you're going to call for Ammo over the mic say "Can you toss ammo? It's the 'H' key by default" because most of the time they don't give it out is because they don't know how
