Should Guns be in Rust? - Rust

I'm not gonna lie, I read the first 5 or 6 posts, and then skipped the rest. So, I apologize if someone already made this comment. I think they should stay, because ultimately, a server admin can set up the drop rate to anything they want. Basically, I think you should keep all options and avenues open, and let the server decide what to make available. I've seen plenty of servers, already, that have no C4 crafting. If there was public demand, I am absolutely certain "NO CRAFT, NO M4 DROPS" and all these other lovely tags for servers will start popping up.

If facepunch is working on an item editor, then they want to crowdsource the game. I think they also want us to play the game how we want to. To quote Garry Newman: "Every decision we make is pushing emergent gameplay. So the players themselves decide how the games are made. We give them the tools, they make the world." from PC GAMER [URL="http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/01/08/rust-interview/"]http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/01/08/rust-interview/[/URL] In the end, we all have our own opinions on how Rust should be and all of this will help make the game better and more of what we want it to be. In regards to weapons, I don't want all primitive weapons and I don't want all military grade weapons either. Something in the middle should work and then finding the balance will be tricky. For example, why use a bow now? Other than getting a few animals in the beginning after spawning, you don't. But what if the bow caused a player to be crippled or HAD to use a special healing kit to remove arrow? Suddenly the bow has more relevance. Then perhaps, make ammo more rare or harder to make for a military weapon, forcing you to be judicious in who you shoot at. Or, and a idea I like: You can craft military weapons, but not exactly as you found them, because you have to use what you have around you for materials. And... crafted weapons have an unpredictable nature that might backfire or fail you in combat. However, perhaps this unpredictable nature could be minimized somehow... So if facepunch can't come up with a good balance forcing players to not all gravitate towards one style of weapon, then yes, military weapons will be the standard or have to be removed entirely.

this game would be so bad without guns and especially if there was only guns like pipes and hand cannons that would sucks.... would take all the fun out of the game and garry said already that he expected the game to just be everyone kill each other... go play dayz if you homos want to hold hands

No i think they should remove all "modern" weaponry and only have very crude firearms at best that are considered the pinacle of weaponry, otherwise spears and bow and arrows.

If I recall, the military weapons are just placement holders..

Medieval weapons should be added instead of modern firearms: crossbows, more types of bows, swords, axes, spears, maces et-cetera. And appropriate armour and clothes.

Gary's already been quoted as saying the dev team leans more towards realism..which for simpleminded folk like yourself that means those precious mil weps will be removed/made rarer at some point

These damn M4/Bolt Actions make cheating even more worse!

I would like guns to remain in rust. I would like more variety in the available guns. Scratchmade pipe shotguns and shovel AK's, beat-up relics from (WW1/2), and worn modern guns - alongside the pristine modern kind. I would also like more options beyond simply just guns for PVP. More bows - a wide selection of arrows. More melee weapons, particularly thrown ones. Improvised explosives or traps. Area of effect weapons, like burning tires, or rare smoke / gas grenades. Non lethal options like flares or flashbangs. Maybe even some natural poisons and antidotes.

Right after a server wipe when everyone is running around with pipe shotguns and bows are the best fights and best fun in rust. Too bad that only lasts about 6 hours tops. Would definitely support replacing the military gear with a lower technology level. There's plenty of far better shooters for playing with modern guns, lets make rust something unique.
