Joel... you're just wrong... it's an idea given, they still haven't been added there... :P

On the warzone wiki, there was a complete guide for weapons and stuff... Just take a look there when it's back. (not working currently)

Actually, the Guide is separate from the wiki.

And if you're expecting those ideas to be in game, well, sadly, they won't be. :( Adding weapons requires a fairly complex balance rationale - without it, Warzone would simply have far too many weapons.

Hehe... Yeh, the weapon variety is currently wide... Would get annoying adding more... But well, everybody is free to ask :P

Well, you're always free to add new weapons in a mod. :)

Yes... but, trust me, some mods are confusing. A mod with like over nine thousand weapons would be rare. XDD

EDIT: (it's a joke, don't take it bad) Can you add some catapult that throws rocks? X3

Yeah, "weapons.txt" has around 30 values x 9 000...
I don't even want to think about it.

Actally, I am thinking of making a Medieval mod. It would have weapons like swords, pikes, bows and catapults with sub-types...

I think helicopters would affect the game balance too much to be implemented effectively. However, you are free to make it a mod.

Especially the Void between the ears of people who think that No VTOL is a good idea, and won't lead to arty wars. I've won one, and I have to say: I hated it.

[...] That's poking... Balance is something that can get hard, dude... You know how annoying it is when you add something new, but you find out that it's too good... strong or whatever?

Well, balance (also known as "how fun the game is") is indeed the reason why we don't just add every single weapon suggestion. It's quite important. If done poorly, adding a new weapon can easily make the game much less fun. Is that really what you want?

WEll somehow in reall world noone wants balance, everyone wants the best weapon they can get >_>,so why not here?
besides,my little choper can only use 2 rocket pads and a machine gun.... something i wouldnt call powerful and unbalancing.Or instead rocket pads you can add lancer.. but thats all choper should be able to use. Add any price you want but the fun factor will make it worth it.

Yeah, and in the real world, people kill other people in wars; why not here? :rolleyes:

People play games because they're fun. People kill people in wars because they want to win at all costs. That's the difference.

Two rocket pods and a machinegun, times around twenty of these choppers, in a unit that can only be hit by AA weapons... yeah, that's overpowered. A lancer would be even worse.

but you can always limit chopers to ...lets say 2 per player.
