Another thought about the Torquebow

[Uday23]

lol u can see how bored i am getting and how low i am on info so im am making threads like this

So since the torquebow will have and explosive arrow that u shoot and detonate, do u think it will be a slow paced weapon, i mean if u have to aim shoot, detonate, aim, shoot detonate,........then again u probably wont get too much ammo since this is a strong explosive weapon, and maybe all u need it that one stick and then when u detonate u can blow chunks of locusts everywere, do u think that one arrow stick (stuck into skin) and then detonated will be a one hit kill? i think it will be kind of werid to get used to shooting the arrow and then quickly detonateing it and then getting ready to shoot another, does anyone get what im saying? o well im sure the Torquebow is an amazing and fun weapon to use espcially from what i have heard about it and the fact that cliffy called it one of his favorite weapons...

[Chainsaw Guardian]

Yeah the torquebow will definately be a fun weapon to use. My question is what happens if you die before you get the chance to detonate the arrow, you just don't press the button to detonate it? If you die after you shoot someone with it, will it blow up like 10 seconds later? Or maybe even just dissapear.

Another thing is do you guys think you will be able to shoot the arrow and then switch to your lancer and shoot the arrow to make it explode?

yes its one hit kill

it probably just explodes after a certein amount of time like the detonator in goleneye no cool explosion there (it was t)


you will be able to shoot the arrow and then switch to your lancer and shoot the arrow to make it explode?
why would you want tp do that instead of just blowing it up and um no you probably cant

[Mel]

Any pictures of it? I haven't seen it, it sounds kinda Turokish. Speaking of Turok. The reaver..... coolest weapon ever.

[GearsManiac123]

Another thing is do you guys think you will be able to shoot the arrow and then switch to your lancer and shoot the arrow to make it explode?i sure hope so...because that is a SWEET idea! or with grenades, you could throw them up in the air, go into slow-mo, and shoot them as they near a locust.(which wont happen lol, im thinking about GUN, and games like that:o) but it would still be a cool idea to stick a locust with an explosive arrow, and pull out the lancer or even the shotgun! and precision aim at the arrow, and then pull the trigger and what the chunks fly!!!:D im a fan of gore in games incase you havent noticed.:p

[Chainsaw Guardian]

There definately won't be any slow motion. haha.

and to Evil Hat, how are you so certain? I would like to see some proof.

[Zoso Fan]

Didnt read your full post but i hope that the Torque Bow has a small amount of rounds (similar to RL)

[Koric101]

I think that the torquebow will have most of the same properties as a grenade. I think it'll be a slower 1 hit kill that you can also lob to get it behind cover. I can't wait to use it.

[Zoso Fan]

I love how its remote detanated, i cant wait to stick an arrow in some locusts head and blow it off remotely!

[UnrealWars]

It seems like it is a slow paced weapon. Also by the looks of it, it does not look like there is going to be alot of ammo available for it because of its strength. i wonder how accurate it is going to be???

well like most game any remote detonated device that is not detonated before u die, just dissapears, and i think that is a dumb idea, shooting the the arrow would be pointless if u could detonate it, but lets say u lobe it around cover and maybe u get ur sniper buddy to shoot it from a different angle to blow up the bad guys, now that a cool, idea, so then maybe if u die after u shot an arrow it says for a lil while so then maybe u cant detonate it but u still can shoot it or ur buddies can, thats if u remember were it is

I CANT WAIT TO USE THIS WEAPON!

sorry no pics just yer

i think its going to be pretty accuarte, once u get u at it, b/c cliffy says u can use it to stick a locust, so im guessing it will be accuarte but hard to master......

[seph]

I definetly think the Torquebow is slow paced.

You need some time to hold down RT to get a long shot. And when you shoot it takes some time to get another arrow in the bow.

[Flaming Hornets]

I would assume the T-Bow has about 10-15 rounds. As it is highly powerful. And since it is a small arrow being fired, instead of a hail of bullets, aiming will be key. And there will most likely be one shot kills, as grenades are, and i would imagine the T-Bow does more damage.
And the T-Bow most likely hold one arrow at a time, so its one shot, reload, one shot, reload. And the T-Bow most likely is slow as hell to reload, just because if you don't line the arrow up correctly it cold go seriously off target.

my thought exactly:)

[GearHeads]

I think it would be kind of cool if the TourqeBow had an auto reloader,making it a more fast paced weapon.

[Zoso Fan]

IDK if this was asked already but, I wonder if the Torque Bow shows the arc like grenades?

[Uday23]

ya i asked that somewhere but i forgot, they way some EPIC person described it made it seem like it had an arc too, i want to know!

[360GearsFanatic]

i wonder if you can shoot a wall someone is hiding behind, detonate it causing minimum damage but putting a clean hole through the wall...that'd be sweet

[Zoso Fan]

Destroying their cover would be sweet with grenades as well!

[Uday23]

well im not sure if all the environment will be destoryable but im sure that u can hurt the guy behind cover with an explosive sticky arrow of dooooooooom! i love it!

[Shifty]

Hey I was wondering how cool it would be to stick someone who is getting a little too close with that chainsaw and then as they charge at you you blow them to hell. Not very relevant but cool nonetheless.

That would be insanely cool, but would most likely take a big chunk out of your life.

[Crazy Danix]

I think of the torqubow as somewhat comparable to the C4 in battlefield 2 MC. Of course with better range though. And nothing is more satisfying in that game then a well timed detonation that sends there charred corps flying by your screen. The only negative to it is the lack of range, that is why the torquebow will be awesome, and one hell of a good time to use.

[arnie lfc]

ye what if u shot sum1 with the torquebow then instead of detonating it u waited n then the other player started chainsawing sum1 n then whilst they did that u detonated the arrow, man that wud be fierce.

[rEDChief55]

they changed it, so now it detonates automatically one second after it hits, so no more of your tricks!!!!

[Arm4lite]

will the torquebow be like the bow in Rambo 2 , in the way he changed from a normal arrow to explosive tipped as that would be cool sticking some full of arrows making them look like a pin cushion lol also will u be able to pin ppl to walls with the arrows like that gun from F.E.A.R ?

[HorTyS]

the torque bow has timed explosives on them, they're not remote detonating, cliffy said they blow up like 3-5 seconds after impact...

[DeadPool]

It will probably this games version of a grenade launcher.

[Crimson Omen]

It will probably this games version of a grenade launcher.

It is going to be ONE of the Grenade launchers, many paople overlook the boomshot;) Anyway it sounds sick. The reload will hopefully be like the crossbow from Half Life 2, the string pulls itself back and you kind of just set the arrow in there. By the way, I tried to make a TB, it was successful, and very awesome.

WHAT WHAT WHAT!!!??? howd u make a torque bow? And when I said grenade launcher, I meant it will be like 1 because it will take a few seconds to explode, like a nade, it will arc, like a nade launcher, and the explosion wont be as powerful as a rocket, like a nade. Except it will be sticky nades like in halo. SO THERE!:D

[CrazyBizkits]

somebody may have already mentioned this but what if u shot an arrow into a crowd of locust and detonnated itr in mid air it would take alot of timing and skill

[Crimson Omen]

Dreadpool, that's cool i just read wrong. But i made a crossbow and had a homemade pyrotechnic on hand, so 1+1=2.

[Skiddywinks]

Here's an idea:
Seeing as the controller has a trigger, how about you lightly depress it to make the arrow arc more, and cover less distance, where as a full depress makes it go (almost) straight. Anyone played MechWarrior 2? Like the grenade launcher the suit has.

All this as opposed to the typical, the longer you hold the trigger the more power is in the shot.
