Fun ideas for merc ability inspection! :3

(SzGamer227) #1

Weapon inspection is a fun little feature, but why limit weapon inspection to guns and knives?

(Feel free to post your own ideas! Tell me which ones you like! I personally would love to see these implemented, and if you would too, try to keep this thread afloat so that Splash Damage takes notice!)

Here are my ideas for what mercs could do when you inspect their abilities:

  • Nader, Arty, Kira, and Sparks could inspect their Grenade Launcher, Designators, and Revivr like any other gun. (Keep reading… it gets better!)
  • Rhino would swing up his Minigun for a better view of the majestic beast.
  • Aura, Sawbonez, and Phoenix could quickly inspect their Paddles one at a time before rubbing them together to produce exaggerated electrical arches between them.
  • Proxy could flip over her Proximity Mine and swing it around as you would while inspecting a Frisbee.
  • Phantom could start a game of Tetris on his armor control pad, which he immediately loses (to his frustration).
  • Fletcher, Fragger, Thunder, Stoker, Skyhammer, RedEye, and Vassili could give you a good look at their grenades and toss them from hand to hand, and even play around with them as if they were toys and not lethal instruments of destruction. Need help with that imagination of yours? Here are some examples…
  • Fletcher pulls out a couple more Sticky Bombs and juggles them.
  • Fragger dangles a Frag Grenade from its pin like it was nothing.
  • Thunder gradually gets more ambitious with his throws, starting off with a safe toss from one hand to another, then tossing his Concussion Grenade higher and farther with each throw until having it flip a few times midair as a finale.
  • Stoker gently caresses and polishes his Molotov Grenade.
  • Skyhammer starts throwing his Airstrike Designator up in the air, seeing how many times he can get it to flip and still catch it. After getting to ambitious, he fumbles and has to catch it with his other hand.
  • RedEye sets his Smoke Grenade to a slow leak before tossing it from hand to hand.
  • Vassili gets a bit cocky with his Heartbeat Sensor, which is accidentally activated and flashing red while Vassili fumbles with it trying to turn it off until he finally succeeds. This could include a “YOU’VE BEEN SPOTTED” bleep for added effect.

Those are my best ideas… what do you think? ^u^

DID SOMEONE POST PUNS? |__| ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)/

In all seriousness, this sounds like fun in my personal opinion!

Why does that rhino portion make me think impure thoughts

(Reddeadcap) #6

I’d love to see Rhino slap his minigun’s barrels to spin them up a bit.

@SzGamer227 Why not have him play Spy vs Spy?

I’d imagine Phoenix making all sorts of weird digital art 3d art with his nanites, as they appear infront of his hands, moving about into different shapes. (Something like this, or you know how people do these weird little art things with stringe wrapped around their fingers?)

I’d imagine with their healthpacks, Sawbonez and Sparks shaking or brushing off dust their healthpack, same goes for Skyhammer and Arty, make with a happy little petting.

How about Nader spinning the cylanders of her grenade launcher?

I’d love to make Fragger visibly man childy with his inspection, he’s holding his grenade , treating it like an animal, making it look like it’s crawling infront of him before making an explosion gesture with his hands.

The only thing I can say to this is…you guys are very creative. :slight_smile:

How about Sawbonez opening his med-pack? It would be cool to see whats inside :slight_smile:
Same for Sparks.

Kira while inspecting her laser pointer, on that screen she could have minimap displayed.

Also on execution I think button “6” will equip you C4 if you have it… Maybe something like while inspecting C4 there is a timer of when round ends on C4.

What would the healing and ammo station look like? They’re kind of holograms right now.

These are some pretty good ideas and would give some nice quirky character and life to the mercs; reminds me of what they use to do in the 90s with platformers like Crash Bandicoot who would randomly juggle fruits if you don’t touch the controller for a while. The other memorable one is Donkey Kong Country where the eponymous character would randomly pull out a Gameboy for his idle animation. That being said, idle animations would be interesting and fun to look at vs statuesque afk players.

Phoenix should sorta open his nanites id say, and have like a tiny hologram of himself

(XavienX) #12

However, we need skins affecting the abilities and knives first though D: And it’d also be nice if the first person view of the hands actually is based on the skin shown in 3rd person.

The man wears shades, he just gives that extra bright light to the lesser fattie, aka Thunder Thunderovich Thunderovsky. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sparks and Aura could mutter quietly yada yada while readying their defibrillator/revgun :smiley:

Yeah I know, I just tought they would put another model just for inspection… Would be too much though, true

(SirMurder) #17

Make this happen!

(FUNNYBLACKMAN) #18

How about Fletcher performing dark magic and souls of children fly in from all sides into his hand thus creating the sticky bomb.
Edit :
Or just squeeze the bomb and it makes a funny sound.

(Sorotia) #19

Some really awesome ideas here I’d love to see some day!

  • Sparks looks at her Revivr then opens up a compartment, so you see a pair of AA batteries.
  • Fragger pulls out his nade and a paintbrush, and paints some roses on it.
  • Proxy can do the circus dish spinning trick with the proxy mines.
