10th class: Generic Rifleman - Games

Yes, I am stealing the Striker from Final Combat and putting it into a TF2 artstyle. Because I lack any drawing skills, I decided to use meticulous photoshopping (and GIMPing) to create my concept art. Here's what I have so far: [I]Current Progress[/I] Prototyping camouflage pants. Already removed body armor markings, medal, belt buckle engravings. 01/14/2012- Flak jacket lines and basecolor. Camouflage pants now contains a greater portion of primary team colors. 01/14/2012- Shaded Pants. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gBLbA.jpg[/IMG] Class Emblem [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4Ir46.jpg[/IMG] Primary- Assault Rifle Secondary- Magnum Melee- Gunstock Special- Frag Grenade Description [I]The Generic's defection wasn't easy. Due to his lack of talents, everyday he now faces enemies possessing skills far surpassing his own. But it is this same deficiency that the other mercenaries keep him around, so that they could watch him suffer and know that, at least, they'll never be as powerless as this rifleman.[/I] [I]TBD[/I] Stylized [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_rifle"]M16 Rifle[/URL] Stylized [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_Garand_rifle"]M1 Garand[/URL] Find appropriate pistol to stylize.

I would create your own design instead of modifying the Striker, it would make designing a character around the TF2 artstyle much easier.

This is a terrible idea.

And spiting Xunlei. [QUOTE=Lolkork;34198627]Valve has said that they wont add any fully automatic rifles as a primary to a class because its hard to balance in TF2 due to most weapons being short/medium range and that it's encouraging run and gun tactics. I think that they explain it in the developers commentary.[/QUOTE] So what? This class has no talents. It is a joke compared to the other classes. [QUOTE=Sparkwire;34198639]This is a terrible idea.[/QUOTE] It's good enough for Final Combat.

Stealing a class from a game that is stealing almost everything from the original?

here's an idea for a 10th class. There should be no tenth class. Ever.

I'm not even going to try to make a comment on the name... But they won't add a 10th class out of the blue, if anything it'd be an adaptation of an existing class (ie a subclass like the Demoknight). It allows greater flexibility by having the same weapons as the base class, so there can be unique loadouts that mix and match the main weapons and the subclass weapons. Plus it doesn't require designing an entirely new character complete with model, animations, voice lines, and arsenal. Plus it won't mess with the Spy's disguise interface and character select since there are only so many buttons on the keyboard available.

The 10th class is the question mark on the class selection screen.

I entered this thread thinking I'm going to see some creative concept of a British footman, oh well.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;34198784]here's an idea for a 10th class. There should be no tenth class. Ever.[/QUOTE] Actually, it'd be kind of cool for a return of the VIP. Just use that Civilian model someone made, give it Soldier animations and do what the VS. Saxton Hale gamemode did with model replacement. Of course, getting maps to work with it would probably be a bit more work. v:v:v

All of you hate this character right? Good. He is an outcast for being too normal. He's a freak, all he does is shoot his rifle and throw a grenade once every 20 seconds.

[QUOTE=usaokay;34199181]He should get killstreaks, perks, and the ability to toggle camo on his weapons.[/QUOTE] Killstreaks would classify as a talent. There will be no talents. No killstreaks, no perks. Nothing but a rifle, pistol, knife, and grenade.

[QUOTE=Lolkork;34199291]Oh yeah, valve removed the hand grenades from TF2 because they were impossible to balance.[/QUOTE] Jarate and Mad Milk are a grenade-like weapons. I'll just give the Frag a cooldown.

[QUOTE=usaokay;34199181]He should get killstreaks, perks, and the ability to toggle camo on his weapons.[/QUOTE] And tactical nukes, don't forget the nukes

Saw rifleman. Was disappointed it wasn't [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/ganggarrison/images/8/8e/Rifleman_pic.png[/IMG] Actually, i think making a "generic assault rifle dude" character would be funny as a gag for a server mod or something. Balancing it would be incredibly difficult, of course. However, editing the guy from Final Combat is a bad idea; it doesn't fit the style of TF2 much at all, and is also ugly.

I've got the vision as well.

The 10th class really should have been Knight or something similar. Demoknight and regular Demoman are totally different. Too late now.

Please, make that tenth class - generic assault rifle user - and make it UP as hell. See all that tActic00l kids cry over the net. And feel happy about it

That would be awesome if Generic Rifleman was in the game, another class would be nice. If Valve were to make an update about it, they should do this... 1. Make a Meet the Team video about him. 2. Post an announcement for people to make hats for him (or perhaps a few days later after the update is released). 3. Release the update. 4. World-wide acclaim.

Generic Medicine Hmm... Standard Professional- Headshot X Snipers. First Line- Kill X enemies as while stand on their control point. Last Line- Kill X enemies as they are capping a point. Standard Shipping- Capture the flag. Anti-Intellectualism- Kill X Medics or Engineers. SNAFU- Destroy X Engineer buildings. Hand Made- Kill X Demoman or Soldiers using a frag grenade. Freakshow- Dominate the other nine classes. Modern Warfare- Kill a Demoman wielding a sword or axe with your Bayonet. Who Needs Talents- Achieve X lifetime kills. [editline]13th January 2012[/editline] If you can do better than me, by all means finish my work. But I guess most of you would rather just type out snarky posts.

[QUOTE=BloodNThunder;34200453]But I guess most of you would rather just type out snarky posts.[/QUOTE] Perish the thought.

Without commenting on the idea of a rifleman being in the game, I think the idea of camouflage pants is too far out of place for tf2. All of the classes and, indeed most of the weapons use bold, consistent colours. Even the 'sneaky' class wears a suit that is consistent with the colour of his team. To add in something like camouflage which breaks up the team colouring just looks wrong to me, it'd make him stand out more than blend in.

10th class would be the Civilian ([img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]).

The 10th class should be a woman. I mean we have a black token character but no woman. This game is totally sexist.
