I think the push for realism is harming games as weapon design is often handy capped by sticking to realistic portrayals of real life firearms.

[@HitachiTRQ-225]

The worst part is these said „realistic portrayals“ are often completely wrong anyway, many weapons have the completely wrong rate of fire or a recoil pattern that is completely different from what the weapon is like shooting irl and of course damage numbers not matching how their balistics perform irl (though i give damage a pass because game balance)

[@Hyperlaser_Merc]

​​@@HitachiTRQ-225One perfect exsample of a weapon which is unrealistic even in modern games are the shotguns. Shotguns in IRL can annihalate anything in 30 Meter range (no matter the rounds) Gauges can still kill enemies at 60 Meter range, slugs can even hit them beyond 200 meters on top of being able to make a hole into any wall. Shotguns shouldnt be realistic in videogames or else they would dominate, but thats kinda bad if you aim for realism.

the smg and pistol for the scout are useful weapons. the balance of the jarate and mad milk in most scenarios is that you lose those weapons for items that only debuff the enemies instead of dealing direct damage. by the way, random crits are not a problem if you account for the chance that any damage taken might be a random crit. the less damage you let the enemy do, the lower the chance you get hit by a random crit. yes, even hitscan can be avoided reliably.

It’s a fun concept though, and I learned that through the LOK-1 Smart Rifle of Deep Rock Galactic. Deep Rock Galactic is a pure cooperative game, with no pvp at all and the only enemies are computer-controlled. In an environment like that, there’s no need to restrain the idea, and what was once on a simple pistol has been upgraded to a rifle. I’ve not played Titanfall, so I can’t speak for the actual gameplay of the Smart Pistol, but I recognize LOK1’s inspiration, and I’ve fallen in love with it. It eats ammo like a black hole, though.

[@mentalinsane717]

This video actually brings up a great part of game design that I subconsciously slipped into forcing into pretty much every game I can. For example, the loadouts I use in Battlefield 1 are as gimmicky as physically possible, which I think is most apparent by my Assault loadout, where I use the Frommer Stop Auto which fired its entire mag in about a second, has shit control, and low damage, but in 200% damage servers (the only ones I have fun in), it's just barely more than enough to get a kill, I also use the howdah pistol, a four-barreled shotgun pistol (that also happens to be in TF2), which also has abysmal control, but will annihilate anything you can hit, paired with these, I also run the AT Rocket Gun regardless of what clutch piece of engineering can spawn on the map, or even if it's there. I use that thing to sniper people from the longest ranges I can to obliterate them in the most absurd way possible. Hell, I play Support and tanks like they're snipers too. Making the game as strange as possible with as standout weapon designs as I can is the only way I can have fun in games. I dunno, just seemed interesting. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I think people care way too little about good & interesting weapon design. Sorry for the wall of text.

[@Castar-wk1gv]

Another game that shares this type of "weapon design" is the Garden Warfare series with its character varians. Basically every character has diferent variants that either sacrifice some of its DPS for an status effect (fire, toxic, freze) or completly change how he is played. A clear example of this is the Castus that can go from a sniper-like class that is efective in medium to long-range combat to a Bandit equiped with an automatic neddle gun (?) that sacrifices damage-per shot and acuaracy that dominates in medium to close combat.

This level of editing, and 197 subscribers? Well I just gotta be 198. It's worth noting that, while the wrangler is the best example for engineer's lack of balance, it's not the best example of his weapons being designed around his counters. As far back as the introduction of the southern hospitality that's been a hallmark of his sidegrades, but when the pompson was designed to drain cloak and even uber, and the original short circuit set up a near-permanent No Explosives zone around your gun, the wrangler was actually outclassed as a counter to his counters.

[@kalukagamingfellaguy]

Ty! Typically when I say something is well designed, I don't necessarily mean just it's strength in the existing metagame. Good design can come from being strong, and vice-versa, but even if the wrangler were far worse I'd say it's a cooler weapon to interact with (outside of the stupid shield) than either the pomson or the short circuit. I actually, really detest the short circuit and wished they would change is design into something that more heavily rewards the engineer for taking down individual shots with the primary fire than spamming the alt fire while hugging the payload. Its actually a shame that the wrangler is so good cause it leaves a very bad aftertaste to a very cool weapon, and I genuinely do not know why valve never changed it.

[@appliedatoms7066]

@@kalukagamingfellaguy Oh I don't disagree with your actual point. The point as I understood it was "the wrangler is an example of how one way to make interesting weapons is to have them shake up the matchup chart, since it removes the engineer's range weakness" That is accurate, but it's not the most explicit example engie has of a weapons being designed to shore up weaknesses. I like the idea of the SC rework (bare minimum it needs to not be able to get metal from payloads while active), but they'd have to allow the primary fire to destroy projectiles at all first.

[@tbotalpha8133]

Another point against just filling a game with lots of extremely similar assault rifles: when the only thing differentiating weapons is numbers, it becomes far easier to home in on the one gun that is optimal for every situation, sharply limiting the meta. While when weapons have wildly different mechanics and effects, it becomes so much harder to find the optimal weapon for every situation. Some are good in wide open areas. Some are good in narrow spaces. Some are good when playing solo. Some are good when cooperating with other players. Comparing them is apples to oranges, and it helps keep the meta from becoming stale.

[@imabird1566]

Great video! One point that I don’t agree with is criticizing the games today saying that they don’t take risks in weapon concepts when compared to tf2. I say it’s completely unfair to compare the two because they are two completely different genres. One is a hat simulator that lets you burn people to death with glitter and rainbows if you feel like it and the one like call of duty go for a more realistic scenery. Of course those games can turn into tf2, much like how tf2 itself looked identical to those games when it was in testing and slowly turned into the hat and conga simulator that we all know, but reasonably they won’t do that because it’s not what they’re going for. The artistic design choices like exaggerated silhouettes and bright, easy to identify team colors over muted background colors as well as weapon stats and designs are not realistic… at all. When’s the last time you saw a guy beating another guy to death with a fish in any realistic war scenario? When’s the last time you saw a lever action double barrel shotgun where reloading the thing is cranking the lever and seeing used shells pop out of nowhere? Or someone that shot a rocket at their feet to go somewhere without blowing off both their legs in the process? Remember the last time you saw someone do a double jump in real life? Of course you haven’t! Who in their right mind would pull out their lunch while on fire to help heal yourself? The realistic games that you’re comparing to don’t have loony toons logic added to the mix and are stuck with whatever the real life has to offer. Around 90% of those weapons in those games are hitscan because nobody in their right mind would use a bow and arrow in a trench. Realism is what they’re selling, and that’s what they aim to do. Tf2? You got spycrabs.

Undoubtedly, this video is the best example of why I love TF2 so much.

[@pandamochiyum8854]

TF2 always holds a special place in my heart. It was one of my top 3 games to play back in 2009 and I always looked forward to playing after school. I loved how different the gun play and feel the game had that was different than what any game at the time had. Also afking at a farming server for loot was always fun haha!

[@monstersponge9096]

I think TF2 content could become your niche. Good video

This video is really good because it is true that this game is incredibly balanced, but NOT perfect, we need some changes. However that doesn't mean we need new weapons. Just make the old ones better because some of them are never picked What I would also say is that you made it too long, repeating yourself. And also there are no other subclasses other than demoknight. Because people do not understand the difference between a playstyle and a subclass
