BWAs aren't THAT bad.  Just use a little strafing and you're okay.  Up close, they use a close-range attack anyways (which still does the same amount of damage, I think).

Personally, I think Large Zorchers are fine to zorch BWAs.

Large Zorchers (Shotguns) are the best all around weapons. All common enemies go down with 10 shells MAX. less if you use a super, but we've yet to have such awesomeness grace an official CQ.

I would, but I can't get the alt key to work as a strafe key again (that is, when pressed left and right arrow keys become strafe left and strafe right)

that would be quite helpful

I came up with this one weapon, I think it would be cooler than the "super shotgun" all over again.

It still fires 2 LZ shots at a time, but it fires in 4 sets of two, then a long reload to put 8 cartridges back in (possibly stoppable, like if you needed two shots right away).

It rotates around, manually, somewhat like a bolt reload, the chamber would be moved forward and rotated 90 degrees revealing the next two cartridges

I know this makes no sense, but I'd rather like to make an auto-shotgun... maybe just as a cheat code weapon.

...see attachment and 75's post...

also, set up another key or 2 for strafe left and right

I was actually thinking something like this



One shot fired, Chexter's hand comes up and rotates the chamber

this keeps going...

When all four sets of two were used (and the handle is returned to the original position), the player would literally have to dump them out, like shake the gun and they all fall out

I'd like to use the Dual Neutron Distruptor sound from Blake Stone - Aliens of Gold for the firing sound, but I think Apogee still has a copyright on it

That's exactly what I was talking about a few weeks ago, an auto-shotgun, sorta...only I didn't include a drawing...

an automatic super large zorcher would pwn all! I can picture it now, Maximus turns around the corner, Chexter arms Automatic-Super-Large-Zorcher and fires. blamblamblam. the Maximus fades away without even knowing what the $*&t happened.  ;D I'm all for it.

A separate topic for making new zorchers might be nice. ;)

OK. So, I got to this point in the Villa Level, and I'm stuck. I've read through this post, made sure i had always run on, and still can't figure out what I should do. The lock is rediculous! It's like, beep.....beep. I'm not even a quarter of the way across the room before it locks again. Help! Thanks!

It doesn't lock on the second beep, you know. It's open for about 10 seconds.

Yeah, the beep just means the switch went back to the LOCKED position, but doesn't mean the thing is closed.

Hmm, well, make sure you've zorched all the Flemoids in the corridor before you hit the switch. Are you playing on Super Slimey?
