Formers with rockets
« on: April 07, 2011, 01:37 »
Is there a chance we could see former humans equipped with rocket launchers?  Use the normal former stats with no natural armor and give them 3 extra rockets.  I think these would fit nicely between the captains and the commandos to give us a new mid-game enemy.

I think they would be sort of a glass cannon, they can inflict a lot of damage to you but are easy to destroy and can completely screw over their side too.

They exist in SkulltagRL, and that's exactly how they behave.

Bleh... there are already so many enemies with rockets. When will enough be enough? It's time to say NO to the rocket menace!

Formers with random weapons would be a logical conclusion of the thread.

Or maybe that (some?) formers could pick up and use weapons.

It only fires twice and is more likely to hurt the Demons than the player under the usual circumstances of a random BFG appearing, and we both know it.

Say farewell to all the power-ups, ammo, weapons, barrels... I would rather meet the Cyberdaemon (which I can hear) than a former human with a BFG that acts like... a normal former human... But when you see him... Surprise, surprise!

Then why not call this variation of Former a Fallen Marine, give him the weapons "Fist" and "Whatever he happens to pick up", give him no ammo, and give him a unique sound/level feel?
