Remove The Protogun

[iPood]

as we all know, one of the most powerful weapons on pawn is the MK1-Protogun.

while this weapon is highly admirable, it has one distinctive quality: it excels at being a nub gun. ppl camp with it in groups and just slaughter enemiesin the most epicly nub way possible. i vote that it be removed, and replaced with something far more powerful and far less nub.


a 3-shot, highly powerful sniper rifle. the rifle kills any enemy in one shot, no matter where it hits, it has the same firing speed of the protogun, it cant shoot through walls, and has only 3 shots to limit it's great power.. what do u think?

[Dylan]

You fail, more than a bit.

[DavidG363]

i think they should remove the non-existant gun and replace it with a powerful sniper rifle with the same damage but it cant go through things... like a .50 Cal or something

[NuMbA]

noobs acant camp with this weapon cuse they wont get that much kills unless its a custom game. but why remove it? other than the fact that it causes lag sometime i see nothing wrong with. even though it does 50 damage it is very slow and has 6 ammo. you could easily kill someone before they could shoot you

[COD4sniper]

The proto gun has its purpose to kill off by camping
and thats why ppl hate it so much because their camping and able to kill from places we cant see

and is especially annoying to be teamed and get shot once losing 1/2 your life and less likely to survive a team attack
but i use this gun more often too so im undecided wheather this gun shoud be removed but im more likely to want to keep it

[Halo3pimp1]

well if u have a 1 shot kill gun thats going to be the same nubish thing as proton gun because its a easy camping gun. Keep proto gun cause it takes skill to actually kill someone the shoot them in the body instead of the head.

I hate how people make threads about this stuff.

the gun was put in the game for a reason.
blank will not change it just because people say its a noob gun.

[Dylan]

Has everyone forgotten it's massive use in Arena?
The box freaks that camp the boxes non stop get POWNED by it, reducing their noob advantage, and forcing them to have a bit of skill to win.

[itzik]

umm replace with a 50. caliber sniper, basiclly a gun that cant go thru walls.

[deathrogue]

It shouldn't be removed. I believe it CAN shoot through boxes/obstacles. How do you expect people to get killed out of nowhere? It has more than 3 shots I believe and this gun does not have all pros, it has many cons. The shooting speed is ridiculously slow so you have plenty of time to kill the person with the protogun.

[Ryuk]

Well, the protogun has one huge, gigantic disadvantage, its firing speed. It shoots way too slowly, and if someone rushes you, it's hard to retaliate.

Also, your sniper rifle suggestion would be a little too much. They can just shoot their one-hit kill gun, run away and let the cooldown expire, and then come back and fire another round.

[EaEaEa]

We have a sniper, it is called the L-85...

[Hurrikhayne11]

proto is very useful to me on getting the campers...
all you do is hide behind a wall and shot.. it's so awesome.
it's good as is, and blank needed an awesome weapon so it's that.. >_>
and it's made for range, not close battles.

[DS]

It's useful in camper situations in many maps, plus without it there would be no Laser Tag :(.

[buffoldguy]

It was kept as a 2 hit kill wep cause LOS was added, before it was only 20 dmg. And no the proto is not overpowered, for gods sake its 30 something kc

FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!

Bad idea man. It's not a noob gun. If it were then noobs would be going on a rampage owning everyone they see. But no, noobs suck with it because they don't understand the line of sight thing. It's a PRO GUN. I repeat, a PRO GUN.

[Ace2cool]

Fail thread is fail.

[alvandmonkey]

Wow it has a shot delay of 5 seconds.
So it is a hard gun to use.
And also it is a sniper gun.
And noone uses it anyways so why not keep it?

[Hamo]

Nothing wrong with proto it has it's downs but it has it's highs.

Some of you pawn players need to get a brain...It is not like you will die for it being there just because you don't like it doesn't mean it has to go.

[ArmyDude]

Protogun (con)

38 KC
Slow firing rate
Long gun
Loud
Only 6 bullets
Protogun (pro)

Shoots through walls
One shot kill if headshot
-50 HP if body
Has a psychological effect on the enemies. Once they hear that "beezoo" sound, they get freaked out.
*Pawn Discussion/Suggestion section..

Anyways, it has it's up and downs. It's downs keeps it from being an overpowered weapon though. However, it's ups keeps it helpful in camping situations.

[BladeXI]

Like what everyone has said, a proto can shoot through walls, 2 shots then your dead etc, but its disadvantage is reloading, so no problem, keep the proto.

[GhettoHood]

Most of the custom games I played, require a proto gun at respawn. And...
You get the point ;]

[DariuS]

You "Fail"
So bad that you just "fail"

And crying bout the proto gun?
Lmao...wow

[bobman11]

shoot through walls and one hit kills...
i see noob written all over this

[UreOnMyHitList]

no leave it, its fine

[pwnyou2much]

why remove any of the guns i like the set as they are do not remove [failure thread]

[quikkilla]

The protogun should still be in the game because it is the only weapon you can use to get camping noobs out of their hiding spots. Plus it takes two shots to the body and fires slow, which is kind of a balance

Proto is too 1337 to be removed...Your suggested gun is even worse.."kills all enemies no matter where they are hit" WTF!!!??

[Birdcage]

No way in hell is it a noob gun. Took me 100k points to figure out how to use it right, heh. You need to be pro to use it right, else you're screwed. Same as with the Desert Eagle, in my opinion - 7 points, and you can get 10 kills out of it, but if you're new, you'll get none...

If you hate it so much, get onto the next screen before they can shoot you, and rush them with a UMP, or whatever, see how well they shoot then.

Love, Birdcage
