    Exclamation Weapon ideas

    So,many people like the game's weapons and how they behave,but do you wish there was a brand new weapon? I've had many thoughts these days,but I will only show you guys one of them as an example,as more people reply I will gradually show more of them.

    Name:Trapwall
    Class:Blue
    Effects: an small,rectangle-shaped hole is placed on the track,if someone gets too close a wall pops out of it and makes the person crash
    Damage:10 Absorb:25

    Got an idea to share with us? Feel free to post!

    Unhappy

    Nobody replied yet? Oh well,here's another one:

    Name:Fiery Boost
    Type:Green or Pink
    Effects:Makes your ship start catching fire and speeds up 300km/h for 5 seconds,while if you crash with someone it damages the opponent's ship heavily (also hurts your ship,since your on fire)
    Damage:35 Absorb:60

    i think ur first suggestion existed already in a little bit different version in wip3out. it was called 'forcewall' or something like that.
    i still have hopes for another 'full' new edition of wipEout, not this 30fps BS 2048 obviously will be. i mean a 'BIG' wipEout with 60fps (120 for 3d version) hopefully for PS3, but PS4 would be great too until then, i'll stay with wipEout HD, still plenty of 'work' to accomplish.

    maybe the devs of this future wipEout game reading this forum, and maybe they'll take some of the suggestions and implement them into their game

    Force Wall from Wip3out and Penetrator super from Fusion is basically what you described.

    How about a weapon that damages all players proportionally to how many weapons they've fired or how much damage they've done to other players in that race? Maybe if it was as overpowered as the rest of the weapons, it'd discourage the mindless weapons spam that spoils so many races.

    Not likely, considering what 2048's focus is (Weapons) that they'd put a weapon going against it.
    Also that seems a bit too far reaching and like a win button.

    Of course it's not likely, but I can dream.
    It would only be a "win button" if the other players were weapons spammers, though. If you raced well with minimal weapons use, it would barely affect you. Not wanting others to have the win button would be a good incentive to use the weapons only where necessary, rather than being rewarded for crapping them all over the track, as it is now.
    But it wasn't really a serious idea, anyway.

    Angry

    Now,i'm almost sure this one isn't in any of the other games:

    Name: Punch of Light
    Type: Pink
    Effects:A light ball is shot from your ship,heading on the opposition.If it hits,the screen of the victim gets all white for 3 seconds.
    Damage: 0 Absorb:30

    The screen white out has never existed to my knowledge, but there have been several control altering weapons in the games, some of which affected the camera. Electro Bolt and Disruption Bolt to name a few.

    Yeah, that was a horrible weapon . But that's because it drained everybody, not just weapons spammers. I'd like to see something that discourages overuse of weapons and allows better racing to take place.

    Weapons off? Green weapons?
    No offense but if you race with weapons on, it's understood that there will be combat and racing. Weapons off = only racing.
    But that's an age old debate again.

    I don't hate weapons in Wipeout, so I don't argue for their removal. I just hate how unbalanced they make the game, due to being so overpowered and many peoples' tendency to spam them. If they only slowed you a little and did a little damage, I'd like them (I like them in the first game, and they're okay in a couple of others). Tactical use of them would be fun and interesting. But the way they are now, I consider them annoying and that they spoil many races.

    How about a weapon that instantly ends the race and makes you the winner? That would be awesome.

    Nah,too cheap! What if you work your way up to a 15 sec gap and someone uses that weapon and you lose?
    Unfair,no?

    It can,at least,teleport you to the first place,about 0.7 seconds ahead of the leader

    Worm Hole as seen in Rollcage.

    Pretty much you charge and shoot a worm hole that guides itself to the person in front of you (Doesn't go through walls or turn too fiercely). If it snatches them it forces them through the worm hole directly behind you. The catch is the worm hole stays open for a small period of time so if there are people behind you they can also use it to catch up to you.

    I believe the other version of this used in Rollcage Stage II was instead of shooting the worm hole, you used it to teleport in front of the person ahead of you and anyone behind you could use it to get ahead of them as well (For a short time).

    It's really gimmick and would make me rage online (Would **** up world records too), but I always thought it was a really neat addition to an offline game. By no means am I serious about wanting to see this added. It's the same way I feel about Quake. It's really cool looking and I can't help but use it, but I think it's sort of gay at the same time.

    I say bring back that weapon from WO1 that reversed your opponents controls. Now that would be funny.

    A weapon that makes you slower when you BR (but it must be a weapon which require some skills to use, like plasma or canon)
