Using your secondary on ladders

[Pomegranate 83]

Pretty much everybody has had this experience. There's a camper using third person on the roof of the hospital, the fire station, or the schoolhouse, and you decide to try and climb up the ladder to kill him. However, he heard you coming, so now you're completely defenseless on the ladder. I think you should be able to use secondaries on the ladder but with restrictions to aiming (Not straight down, not straight behind) and increased recoil.

I like the idea - however: this idea simply screams to be abused with third person by the one on the ladder. Because otherwise you wouldn't even remotely know which corner they would be in.

Which is why EVERYONE should play 3P:OFF :)

The person on the roof would be abusing third person too by going prone and looking around the building without being seen. I guess it's just karma for abusing such a game breaking part of the game.

I only play on first person servers, so this doesn't matter to me. The gameplay in first person servers is so much better; no more forest fights where both sides just hide behind a tree and look with third person, no more times in cities where people just hide on top of a roof and look down with third person.

ähhh nein :P

 

To the second part...

When you stop on the ladder you should aim one handed in the direction you are looking. (+25% bullet spread)

When you not stop you should be able changing the stance by pressing "fist up" and aim one handed in the direction you are looking. (+40% bullet spread)

something like that.

I prefer that.

See above. I prefer 1st person only. But on the other hand: 3DP-View is the plague, simply because everybody automatically assumes, that everyone is abusing their 3DP-View and then says: well - it's okay, because others do it, too.

The ideas definitely gotta be implemented I me a come on its pathetic how slow it takes to get down a ladder and going up is nerve racking cuz of the campers ... This idea could easily be implemented and for the people playing on third person servers they can't complain if they get killed by someone using the sidearm on a ladder because they too would be in third

Person . However on the first person servers there woul be no issue at all like the others have stated .. So I see no problem with this at all . Also I would love to see the feature ( when cars are implemented into game)for all people other than the driver ( and maybe some time down the road the driver as well ) to be able to shoot out of windows of their cars

Don't see how waving around with an FNX on a ladder is going to stop the person on the hill 400m away behind some bushes sniping your ass off said ladder. But this feature would make for some great suprises while being chased down ladders, so I'm all for it.
