Guest Kurgan Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 As long as having secondary fire means not just having a zoom on every weapon, a la Quake3, then that's definately what we want. ; ) Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastic Saint Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 Yeah except this a direct copy from the gamespot preview i believe. Or the gamespy preview, trust me it's literally copied.

GonkH8er Posted September 16, 2001 Author Share Posted September 16, 2001 yes, i thought it seemed familiar, but i hadnt seen it before there, so i thought it may just be using similar wording and content. thought id post it anyway. oh and matt Sors salutis, et virtutis, michi nunc contraria. Est afectus, et defectus, semper in angaria. Hac in hora, sine mora, corde pulsum tangite. Quod per sortem, sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite. translates roughly to- The luck of health and strength is against me, is attacked and ruined all the time, in your service. In this hour without delay sweep the sounding strings. And for that fortune that overthrows the strong man, weep with me, all of you --- its in latin. carl orff. carmina burana. oh fortuna [ September 16, 2001: Message edited by: GonkH8er ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Krayt Tion Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 It seems familiar to me as well. The "You didn't see that" comment in particular after the stormtrooper slicing. I don't recall reading a statement that there were going to be secondary functions/fire for all weapons. This is good news and implies that even the bryar pistol has a secondary use (probably as a doorstop). While I don't think it is probable I do share Kurgan's concern on the matter.

Guest Kurgan Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 Yeah, let me say that putting a zoom on a few weapons would still be nice, but it would be TOO EASY considering that's the default Q3 setting. About a third of DF's weapons had secondary fire modes, in JK about half. Secondary fire has since become a staple in the Half Life and Unreal games. It would be just something we'd expect in JK2. ; ) Btw, if you guys think the new preview isn't really "new" then I won't post it. Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
