Cross-bows and CoD...do they mix?

[YepGeddon]

Crossbow, pff. Rambo looks down on this.

I really don't think they care about this kind of thing anymore, what with the RC car and the crossbow so sit down shut up and see how it works out.

 

[Hosker]

Well I guess it could, but it looks like it's going to be incredibly cheap. One shot to kill? >_< They better have some way to balance that...

No. These are EXPLOSIVE CROSSBOWS! They mix Purrfeclly.

Half Life already has it and I can't see how it could be improved

Well, it worked in 007: Nightfire. I hope they make it easier to use than it was in that game though, since if a CPU was using it, all you had to do was walk back and forth and you could watch the arrows fly by you.

Hmmm, realism of guns? Or exploding crossbow? I play for fun, I think it's an awesome idea.

well i'm loving the crossbow in bioshock so i think it could work

Honestly, I think crossbows just aren't the best weapon for "modern" shooters. Cool in Half-Life, but even then it was only because of it being the only sniping weapon in the game. Bioshock did it okay, but even then it was just a situational weapon (what with the trap bolt). I dont know though... Esplodin' bolts? Sounds pretty cool. Hopefully it works alright.

Those ones don't EXPLODE.

the ones in the original half life multiplayer do~

I keep getting flash backs from the Torque Bow in Gears.

 

[Giest4life]

They possible could. They failed for me in HL2. Generally however, CoD and gaming doesn't mix

Fun Fact: The automatic crossbow goes as far back as before christ, and as far today as the early eighteen hundreds. So yes it's practical. I could see it being the riot shield of Modern Warfare 2 though (seems out of place, unfair, ect.)

Practical if you have about a dozen untrained guards at a decent elevation that are not relying on accuracy. (Unless we are thinking of different models.)
