Gunther Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 What you want to see? - I would like to see the run speed of a person who is using a melee weapon to be increased by 5-15%. Why should we add it? - For realistic purposes. If someone is running with a gun, like a shotgun or an AR, they should not be faster, or the same speed as someone running with just their fists, or a knife. Over a month ago, I played as 035 and was chasing a Gensec Sniper down with my SWEP out, and his sniper, but due to our run speeds, I couldn't catch up to him, and I died. This example is one reason why it makes no sense how a person with nothing on them, is the same speed as someone who is wearing armor, a helmet, and carrying around a 20 pound weapon. Another example, is when I was a D-Class, and I ran from the Research line to the middle barricade, due to my run speed, and how it feels like I'm in a light jog, I ran out of health before I could make even that far, and there was only 2 other GENSEC on. What are the advantages of having this? - Melee users are slightly faster than people with guns, to the point where you can easily catch up to them. And due to the unreliable hit detection, increasing the run speed of melee users would make up for some of that. Who is it mainly for? - ANYONE WHO USES A MELEE WEAPON Links to any content - Former Security Captain | Former RCF Commander | Former Admin of SCP:RP | King Penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 - Support While this sounds good, as someone who plays MTF and Security a lot, if any D-class, SCP, or minging people start running with melee out. No one would be able to catch them. You'd have the same problem with no one doing damage to them. / Security Captain Monroe / Retired SCP-RP Senior Moderator Monroe / Hey! It's your local SCP nerd.

Reznov Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 + Support Melee with its low odds of actually landing a hit needs some sort of balance to allow more opportunities to actually do damage. Guns do have mobility penalties but melee does as well for some reason. I could understand a FOOLBAR would slow you down, but a hatchet and or knife/fists shouldn't make you move any slower if anything faster due to your intent to get up close.

The areas of the facility are often so narrow that backpedaling is often the only viable method of evasion. Combine that with a bunch doors that we routinely close and faster speed once again breaks the dynamic. -Support When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back!

Also, even with the narrow hallways, that would make it easier on the gunners side.

If we want to get into realism the person would the knife should be FearRP running the hell away from the gunner for fear of an instantaneously fatal headshot When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade.

They really have nothing to live for, so any crack at freedom they will take, even if means a gun is firing past their heads. In other words, its 'I try to escape or I die trying.'

Mandatory amnestics are given to all incoming Class D personnel and they are amnesticized or terminated the end of every month, the DONT know Also, it would make sense that MTF that would be in peak physical condition and be faster than a Class D, even with gear on, hell, cops IRL are faster that most criminals they chase -support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
