Realtime weapon switching

[BanefulBear]

On a forum thread i started at 1up (i think) someone wanted to know if there was realtime weapon switching, im assuming along the line of fps games or devil may cry? Just though id ask.

mmm.... What kind of fast paced action game wouldnt include realtime weapon switching? Well I dont know about those other fast paced action games, but Kaos War WILL have....... hey... Damon... what are you... *crunch*..... *silence*..... *duffle bag opens and is filled with something sounding similar to a body*

hahaha, i'll take that as a yes to realtime switches and a yes to you being dead inside a dufflebag. Thanks alot Jiisu, you will be missed.

[jiisu]

Not so much a yes as a more than likely. It's a relatively simple feature that I feel would really enhance the gameplay. I dont see any reason why we wouldnt.

[BanefulBear]

Understood, and i agree, its a small but very beneficial feature to have.

And there's a MMO (ish) precedent in D2:LOD as well, limited though to a single switch. Ahh ... the good old days of MFing and switching to twin ABs for the Boss Kill!

If a person switches weapons, make them vulnerable to attack for a moment. It's both realistic and fair.

There will of course be a short delay in the switching of weapons... if of course thats a true feature... =D

I agree with Eric here, it would be unwise for us to not put this into the game. Realtime armor switching on the otherhand is a whole different matter at hand ::)
