Cridder Parasite Launcher

[Mandinga]

Been a while since a planned release, this time around its a weapon. The cridder launcher shots parasites that are similar to the spider mine, only difference being they leach a victim before exploding (currently in this beta). Primary fire shoots a parasite and secondary fire uses the control laser to command your cridder swarms.

Cridders also stick to slanted walls, allowing for complex traps with enough ammo.

Possible future features:

Cridders don't explode after killing target, they seek out a new one.

Cridders attach to roof and normal walls for better traps.

fix replication issues that to allow command of swarms larger than 40 cridders.

Looks nice. Those "cridders" remind me of the old protozoid slimers in Duke Nukem 3D. Downloading.

Please let me know what your game play is like with these guys in the map.

I found a bug where once i launched all my critters i couldnt navigate them with the gun. Sorry if its already been reported

[euchreplayer23]

Needs custom ammo. Or is it using avril ammo? Under powered a bit, suggest changing into a vampire bug. I was using it against bots and I got torn apart by the reg weapons. Against vehicles it needs to faster and more powerful. Very hard to hit against mantas/vipers. The gun also zooms in against vehicles. Maybe decrease the ammo loading time. Seemed a half sec too long. Loved the gun model though, reminded me of the mortar gun used in Terminator 2. I played with it for about a half hour, and I only found 1 time in which a blue bug was attached to a bot and did nothing. Great idea/concept and deliver.

DemonicKnight: There is a bug that when you run out of ammo you can no longer have access the guns secondary to control your parasites. This will be fixed with code and custom ammo.

euchreplayer23: Currently there are native replication issues which will in some cases null the damage a parasite causes to a player and keep the cridders frozen in mid air once they have killed a player. Sadly since its native there is nothing we can do to change it. Epic would have to change this for us.

Please note that this weapon is made to lay out complex traps, not to bum rush people or vehicles. You have your normal weapons for that. Cridders leach enough life for you to last about 1 second with them attached (no armor or shield) This can be further enhanced by having more cridders attack a target.

I want the reload time to be long, could you imagine if everyone was shooting these out on a map. Its chaos on your resources.

I see. Shame that the maker had decided to postponing the mutator, thanks for the response mate. I guess I'll be looking for some more old/new stuffs in UT3 anyhow.
