6 meeters is a HELL of a lot better than what we have now. i know i was hit at about 16 meeters when i was a commando, so this is a huge change. Speeking of commando any one else ever knotice that flame cone only works at 16 meeters or less, now if they made it so you could fire all you wanted, but your SPECIAL ATTACKS would only hit at the desired range, just like a flame thrower. sure you should be able to fire all you want but your specials should only be able to be shot at a certain range UNLESS you use the AIM function. Although i would like to see
-pistols range at 0-55 meeters
-carbines range at 2-60 meeters
-rifles range at 6-64 meeters
and SPECIAL ATTACK RANGE
-pistols 0-35 meeters
-carbines 10-45 meeters
-rifles 25-64 meeters
this would stop riflemen from doing what they do now and run up on targets. although i do believe EVERY weapon should have a special attack range modifier (YES Modifier not bonus)
lets say a laser rifle has a modifier of -2 / 0 so it should be able to shoot its bonuses at a range of 23-64
and a T21 has a modifier of +2 /0 so it should be able to shoot its bonuses at a range of 27-64 meeters
the size of the weapon could play in to it then, because a t21 is a huge weapon and should not be able to be aimed and fired at close range, its NOT a shot gun for crying out loud.
this system could be used for all weapons
carbines might bet bonuses in both directions depending on the Size of the barrel so a lazer carbine could have a +2/+1 bonus and fire specials at 12-46 meeters
pistols like the de-10 might be get a bonus of +1/+2 and have a special range of 1-37 meeters
now i also believe or wish rather that the SIZE of the person should matter into this also and a person with max hight should be able to have a modifier of -5/0 but at the same time should be +5 easier to hit because he is BIGGER. this should work out as bigger people have bigger guns. cause last time i checked in the military Snipers needed to be a certain hight. not saying that it should be a must but there should be some sort of modifiers for hight and weight.
maybe im just over thinking this game cause i could go on and on
