New TTT Weapons

[Travelsonic]

For Traitors, I request we be one of the many TTT servers to add jihad bombs to the choices.

Need I say more?

It'd be like C4, only you, the traitor, die with it, and there is a chance - depending on who is around, what they are armed with, you die before you set it off, so that I think would control any overpowered-ness that could be seen.

This along with flashbang? Please?

A silenced traitor sniper rifle is great fun.

[TehHank]

Screwloose45 don't be an idiot and actually think of waht you are posting. the Traitors are already to powerful and we don't want anymore sniper rifles. the silenced pistol fufils the silenced weapon for the traitors

TTT is good without jihad bomb as well as without silenced sniper.

[Travelsonic]

I disagree.

But what reasons can be articulated against putting jihad in, or replacing C4 with jihad, out of curiosity.

Replacing C4 with jihad would be terrible. I think adding jihad would be fun, but not replacing C4 with jihad. C4 is a huge part of TTT.

Waste of a T round
Annoying as fuck
Easymode
EVERYONE and their mom will use it
ESPECIALLY the rdm'ers who pick one up from a t

Waste of a T round

- nobody says you have to use it
- if some want to waste their T round, let that be THEIR problem
- its use or lack thereof is strategic - as in, you need to take into account a lot to make the best use of it.

Annoying as fuck

stopsounds bound to a key - though like other explosives, how far away you are from it on the map influences how loud it is, no?  Even so, its duration also is affected by whether or not one kills the person quickly upon puling it, how fast it is detonated, etc?

Easymode

No.

As I stated above, its successful use is strategic
- The blast works best in confined areas where people are crowded [harder to escape in time], or just in large crowds
- Whether or not you kill anybody, you die - you're bound to it from pullout to activation to detonation, if it even gets that far.
- You have the possibility of accidentally teamkilling, as with any explosive like C4
- you CAN die before it even gets to go off - depending on who is around, the weapons that person, or those people, have, etc - large crowds again help there since you'd be moving amongst those scrambling, aiming to hit you but hitting others in the way, etc

There IS a lot that goes into whether or not the jihad bomb is effective or not, certainly is more complicated than you're making it out to be.

Go play another TTT server with jihads and trolls. and tell me what happens

[Prox]

I played on the servers with jihad bomb and I didn't liked it, not to mention that this jihad thing was already discussed like 2 or more times before,
Also this:

Actually, as of some point last week - during the time rNd's servers were down, been on a number of TTT servers other than rNd [and I still do] - all of which have jihad bombs.  The minging was actually minimal to nonexistent for the most part.  They do, however, take on a different attitude [and the list of rules reflect it] regarding trolling, minging, even things like RDMing.  [people were, for example, getting kicked somewhat regularly for mass RDMing, etc - as opposed to the usual clusterfuck here of trying to get VIP or Admin in to deal with it when enough proof for a ban or kick has been obtained]

Hope you aren't painting gross generalizations baded on a few servers, or a few bad experiences in servers]

[ugh, can soembody help neutralize a vote?  -1'd because like a derpa derp I misread the post very badly, then thumbs-upped it hoping it'd neutralize it [don't agree with the post, but re-read it and realized my hastiness in -1ing it]

[Deacon]

Just click the +1 again.

Also, the reason I stayed in rnd was for ttt. I played every day up until green shift.

The precedent has been set several times that no jihad would be added. As a matter of fact, no more traitor weapons of any kind are going to be added; we were lucky to convince coolz to add the 6 new guns.
