Hey everybody, We're trying to think of more weapons for our game, but we've hit a brick wall. Our game is called Angels 20, and it is a flight-action game we've been working on for a couple months now. We currently have 8 weapons in the game: -Default Gun -Bombs -Rockets -Guided Missile -Cluster Bombs -Gunpod -Napalm -Tactical Nuke Anyways, what would you guys like to see added to the list?

Assault Cannon

I would say, get rid of the default gun. One reason I love Halo so much is because there isn't really a "default gun" that you can always rely on. It's very contrasted: smg, shotgun, sniper, etc. That way, there's no middle ground and the player is constantly switching weapons, trying new methods.

That was me, I wasn't logged in.

Hi, I'm the other part of the 'we', by the way

What do you mean assualt cannon? we have the default (it's built into your airplane) 25mm Vulcan cannon and a big Tank-busting single barrel cannon(although it fires fairly fast), which is the gunpod in that list, sorry Sir Sapo wasn't that specific

Oh, and Evanofsky, It would be kind of hard to not have a default weapon(although I like your point, and Halo is good), modern fighter airplanes always have internal guns. From a gameplay standpoint, the other weapons are specialized and we wanted the internal gun to be moderatly effective against everything (it's effectiveness would decrease as the campaign continues to add more strategy as the player gets more skilled). We'll think on the default thing, like maybe having it so you can switch out the default for a different weapon

Thanks, and Think airplane!

BFG.

Already got one, although its called the Tactical Nuke :P

Anti-missile missiles? Or is that already covered, or stupid?

Seems like you have most of the bases covered, maybe just add different versions of types of weapons.

You could allow the players to sell their original gun, and use a primary wepon mount point or limited mount points which stops players from not selling the basic gun. I'd say a basic gun and a first run campaign that's easy might not be a bad thing at least for beginners either.

Otherwise I think giving the player the choice of what wepon they start with might work, giving them a starting amount of cash.

(if this makes no sense in the context of your game its because i havn't been able to run it yet because i don't tend to have access to a windows pc much, i use mostly mac that is)

Um... yeah actually. the "guided missile" is for taking out the sam sites, so that's pretty much covered and I think a Mechwarrior style 'LAMS' wouldn't be appropriate.

We have discussed making different types of rockets. The current ones are really powerful but their ammo is limited, so we could make a less powerful but more plentiful version. The same could go for bombs and stuff, I guess.

Krysole- We'll try being able to switch out the default, maybe keeping that weapon from mission to mission if the player wants. Sell is probably the wrong pronoun, because in the US military money isn't a problem ;)
