...just gotten C&C 4...

NEVER MENTION THAT GAME AGAIN!... or I'll bite you to death
But really, when they declared it would have no base building, a little part of my heart died.
there's no way I'm gonna pay for that wannabe dawn-of-war 2 rip-off...

Well first explain, what ATV stands for.

I think he means All-terrain vehicles

Hummers and stuff would be cool, but since this isn't a open war, more of a urban one, Ugv's effectively beat them at everything.

Hmm...

against todays weapons, a BattleMech would not last very long.

But, Then again, it would still be able to do sizeable damage in a battle and, so long as it had some sort of Plated Reactive armour, it would turn the tide of any fire-fight so long as no anti-armour weapons come into play.



ALSO, on a unrelated note, just Crazy idea, but... what about Incendiary flechette-based shotgun rounds? 

and what about micro-neutron grenades?  neutron bombs can easily cook enemy's in a burst of high energy radiation, but the radiation has a very short life, dies away quickly, and doesn't physically damage its surrounding, useful for killing a target but leaving equipment intact.

Also, my charged fire modes are weak as piss... meh, I'll sort that out...

Thanks for the help.

What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something out? is there another file I need to edit?

Also, Any pointers on my attempt at a mod?
since I cant get it working, I cant test it out, so I don't know if my charged fire-mode's are WAY too powerful or not.


EDIT:
also, while I would have posted this thread in a coding related section of the forum, I intend to edit this post and put up my weapon 'mods' here under a new topic title.

There's still the problem that the nitrogen would have to stay cold, so unless those nitrogen canisters also have a refrigeration system they could/would explode or simply not work (your flamer would release the indimitating sound of gas leak  ).

Hmm I better research this...

I have seen a few mega-over-clocked computers that had liquid nitrogen canisters as coolant, they looked pretty easy to carry and we're small and were pressurised. wouldn't that work? I mean, you could say that the main Liquid nitrogen cooler is on the drop-ship and they use it to fill 'temporary' temperature preserving pressurised flamer canisters that would last throughout the fight. that work?

Perhaps the BEST way to shoot liquid nitrogen at an alien would be more like a flame thrower...

You mean like... The legendary Ice-thrower! 

*cough*

But, Yeah, that could work quite well actually. Maybe, like, a liquid nitrogen canister? All you'd have to do is just give it a lower ammo count than the flamers C-80 canisters and mention in the ufopedia article that all the flamers are being upgraded to be able to use these canisters, and possibly more in the future.
