Duck and Cover

I also think that many of the nukes used would be tactical, thereby leaving little radiation behind, but who cares :roll:

The metling animation?

Actually I believe a small lead chamber filled with sufficient amount of Americium-241 or radium should do the trick if you just want to have some fun, beryllium is not all that necessary.

Please be makink a sequel.

My fav death animation is when you shoot and critically hit someone with Desert Eagle and half of his belly explodes into pieces, along with a nice sound effect. :D What about the pulse rifle death animation? I like that one. :rocol: What about the "meat grinder" effect with a bozar? And ...

You know, an isotope lodged in a metal chamber with one opening.

I still don't think the beam would be visible, even with a failry powerful laser (although it depends on how powerful is "powerful"), but I don't know much about lasers- I am more into experiments with microwaves and neutron guns and such.

Interesting. My last char had outdoorsman at 100, maybe I should reaload and do that.

Well, then it won't be dodging. It will be standing there and laughing your ass of.

Wait, wasn't that called a RL in JK? I don't know, I played the russian version.

Just like James said, you would need to reflect light at the exact wavelenght of the laser. I ahve one Question though, I have a suspition that the entire laser beam is at the exact same frequency/wavelength, no?

You can't see it because I doubt there is sufficient particle residue in the air. And you can't dodge it unless you are neo.

Yes, BOS is indeed making weaponry but that's not thier goal per se. They try to restore to pre-war tech for the most part. Or so I remember. Never played tactics so I wouldn't know how that plays out.

danferry here is correct. In addition (if I understand it correctly), light produced in a laser is similarly phased. And plasma is quite easy to create (it can be produced from most gases at sufficiently high t, right?) but sustaining its state and propelling it is the hard part.

I think it was called LED wars. (pronounced led, not L E D)

SC had one of the better storylines in an RTS... exept for that game where you had to grow some drug and use it to control your soldiers. Can't remember the name though.

(ok, it is interesting)

The conversation reminds me of some chats I've had with roadrunner tech support people.

I have read the book, but I still cosider a prequel rather hard to pull off.

HAvink the knights who say "Ni!" would stil be nice, no?

vote Dune 2!
