Title: Rifle for President
Post by: Maddy on January 23, 2018, 03:16:32 pm
Hello Everyone,

We often see President is hiding/camping alone(Without any Securities or Cops) at a place. And as we all know President Class is one of the thing which attracts new players towards it. So when a new player chooses President class, he is actually not aware of all server commands. I suggest to add Rifle as a weapon for President. I know He/She can type /holiday command but as I explained above, many of the players are not aware about some useful commands. It's not a big deal but just a short way to give President more protection. Having a long distance weapon with him, he can survive from terrorists for a longer time and can stop them from some long distance.

Rage please read it carefully. He can get rifle by /holiday command but most of the new players usualy don't know it. Thats why President should be given rifle.

Idk if you have noticed but the weapon sets and vehicles are themed. A rifle is definitely a good idea for President (the non vips specially) but I'd rather suggest to add a rifle pickup points like grenade pickup points (maybe just along the grenades spawn) . That will also solve the problem of /holiday eng cool time and the rifle ammo wouldn't need to be carried after death(as lohit suggested in his topic).

Yea I liked it but it will be good for other classes only because I made this suggestion for President's protection so if President will try to get rifle from it's pick up point, He/She might get killed in the way.

What about when somebody becomes presi, there will pop up 3 texts at him:
You are the President, the military will come in 16 minutes, survive until then.
Your bodyguards will help to protect you.
Use /holiday eng esp for useful weapons!

The President is not a fighting class. The Desert Eagle is a last resort. If he's hiding somewhere without security or cops, he's probably going to get fucked and that's the way it should be.

As for newbies not knowing /holiday eng, I'd rather make the rifle a pickup instead of a command, as has been previously suggested by Saurabh and others.

Sometimes it takes time to type /Holiday command as president and president don't get time for this or he's dead so giving rifle would be a good option. +1

Giving rifle to President will not let other to consider it as a Fighting Class so far. Rifle is just for his/her better protection and it is needed indeed. He/She will still not able to kill all Terrorists but can still stop some of them.

If you give him a rifle, he can suddenly DB with a very good, accurate long-range weapon. If he's DBing from an NRG, that will make it significantly harder for the terrorists to follow him, since he could just keep shooting out their tires before they get near. I think that pushes him into fighting class territory.

Terrorists chasing a President by dbing him with Spas is way more powerful then a President using a rifle. It's definitely imbalance but instead of balancing it we can make it more better.

Obviously the combat shotgun will be more powerful at closer range, but the usable range drops off pretty quickly. If the President, his driver, and the terrorists are all on NRGs, then the game turns into making sure the terrorists don't get close enough for the shotgun to be effective. It's not difficult to shoot out tires at distances shotguns can't match with a weapon that can shoot as far as the rifle can, so the shotgun is unlikely to be that useful.

I'd be fine with the rifle being a pickup that the President has to make a conscious decision to go to, if he wants to incorporate it into his strategy.

We'll probably add rifle pickups in the future (https://planbserver.com/forum/index.php?topic=2988.msg40697#msg40697). With this and /holiday eng, I think the president has plenty of options to use the rifle if he wants to.
