New weapon idea: lasso.

[Forrest Gump]

I think this is quite original:
I'd like to use lasso to catch some enemies, then pull them to me using mouse wheel and KICK ASS !!! :cool:

[Micki!]

I want to make a rodeo contest, by riding a Battlelord, and then catching Octabrains with lasso's...

:o

:o
Or riding the mule to catch pig cops. :D ;)

Or even better:
A secret level where you have to do that, riding the mule and catch ever bigger enemies ending with a battlelord. :D :love:

[Micki!]

Haha...
Too wierd... :hhg:

[Overlord]

What about reaching high, secret places with lasso?

[Tommyboy]

If we're going for weapons of the western flavor a WID branding iron is also a must.

[Micki!]

Hookshot style from Legend of Zelda..?:o

I'd like to play Tarzan in the big city... Imagine swinging from casino from casino, to strip clup over strip club :D And then bashing an Alien with the mighty boot, while swinging from a high spot... :hhg:

Meh, tooooo much to ask for, but the idea, and imagination of it is funny...

[trackit]

i hope 3dr have passed that stage where they can put new weapons in :)

They can put a new weapon whenever they want, aren't 10 years telling you something? :D

[InnerChild]

although Duke is kind of a cowboy, don't make him a complete idiot :p

no serious, its a nice idea but nothing I would like to see ingame with Duke.

[ishak540m]

I had the idea of a grappling hook a long time ago. It would be sweet - use it for it's normal function and also to grapple enemies, or use it as a trip wire, etc.

[trackit]

lasso will be Dukes gravity gun :D

I think that idea died with quake :D

[FireFly]

Energy lasso, please. Or energy bolas.

[Micki!]

Metroid Prime's Grapple hook... :cool:

[the true duke]

or a lasso covered in radiation and anyone gets caught melts. MUHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHa

[Renegade]

Why use a grapling hook when you can use a jet pack? And why reel enemies in when you can blow their brains out?

[Micki!]

You can't grab enemies with it... :(
Blowing thier brains out (or wherever you may aim) usually follows, unless you're more "creative"... ;)

Personally, i have a too sick mind, to "just" kill them... I like being more creative, and experiment how things can be done... It's a game afterall, why not play with it..? http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/images/icons/devilish.gif

[infowars]

I like the idea! I hope things in the environment can be used as weapons/tools rather then only being able to use the main 10-12 weapons.

[peoplessi]

This is just why they have professionals and not amateurs designing games(or atleast most of the time ;) They now what to put in, and what not.

[vcxzet]

the best weapon I've ever met was gravity gun in Half-life. It is gives a perfect interaction with objects around you in the game. but the silly thing is its ammunation never get depleted. Not the gravity gun but magnetic gloves or something like this would be cool, or maybe something that allows you to throw anything that you can throw in real life (doh we dont have weapons for those things in real life)
Also I love to see some weapon that throws circular saws(with radius greater than 10 inches ) :D or throwing them by hand.

[Denz]

Micki!!! actually you could make a drawing with duke with a cowbow hat riding a warlord (the lord enemy) On a arena like this: http://www.grandcanyonexcursions.com/images/Bryce%20rodeo%208.jpg

And he could say some cocky sentence. Like "I'm supposed to have balls of steel damnit!"

[Micki!]

I did draw Duke once, riding a Mule... But this might look funny... :)
But i'd rather make something which makes more sense, or has more relevance to Duke...

Although, the Tiny Duke comic i made, was rather silly and unrelated... :)
I might make it... :o I'm in the middle of making another atm...

[Denz]

Yes, and another phrase he could say "I wish i had balls of steel!" in reference to the game.

And send it to 3DRealms. \o/

[Micki!]

I have a pair of Boxershorts, saying that aswell... :)
"Balls of steel" and then there are 2 metal balls... It's not a reference to the game though...

Hey i'm reffing to his ball of the penix. :o Like he rides the lordthing, and his balls are hurt, and he scream something like "WHY DON'T I HAVE BALLS OF STEEL, WHY ME???" :censored:

The old ball of steel game is the reference.

[Micki!]

Nahh, Duke is too "manly" to hurt his balls of this... :o
He could say: "Heh, luckily, i have balls of steel" or something... i don't know if he should say anything at all yet...
All the insane bumbing and jumping must hurt a "normal" human afterall... :o

Anyways, Yatta liked the idea (i told him about your idea... i usually do that, when i want to make Duke related fanart, so he knows when i have stuff ready for Duke4.net's fanart section...) :)

[Denz]

:woot: But don't put him the cowboy clothes, just the hat. (i found cowboyclothes gayish :o )

[Micki!]

That's what i had in mind anyways... :cool: Didn't find the clothes Gayish though, just a little... Unfitting... :o
[EDIT:]
Kinda relevant...
I always loved this Duke nukem commercial... :love:

[The Red Slaughter]

Here's the weapons that I want in DNF:

Mighty Foot
Cattle Prod (Melee Weapon. You can carry only one melee weapon)
Power Fists
Golden Eagle (Dum-Dum rounds yeah!)
Shotgun (With optional Shadow Warrior-like Automatic Mode)
Assault Rifle (with Grenade Launcher)
Gatling Laser (Less acuracy. Alien weapon)
RPG (With optional heatseeking missiles and a nuke mode)
Shrinker and Expander (Alien Weapon)
Pipe Bombs
Devastator Rifle (Yes, It's too big to be carried with one hand)
Sniper Rifle
Scatter Laser (Alien Weapon)
Laser Pistol (Alien Weapon)
Plasma Rifle (Alien Weapon)
Frezzer (Alien Weapon?)
Magnetion (Gravity Gun like, but can grab enemies and throw then at enemies crownds, limited amunition and a mode than makes the iron on the enemies blood go BOOM. Oh, Alien Weapon)
Gauss Rifle (Futurist weapon propeled by magnetism - Think about Fallout. And worse of all, A guy is trying to develop one and do one for real!)
Of course Duke can't hold then all. So, Duke'll have to see what weapons are good and needed. All weapons will be necessary.
