[Bog's Suggest a Gun Game!]

Would the BFG9000 and plasma gun from doom be considered overpowered?

Well actually I haven't played Doom believe it or not. 

I know the BFG9000 from it's reputation. I think I'm going to skip over it. At least for now...

On the other hand I found some video's of the Plasma Gun from Doom 3, as well as some nice stat spread sheets and screenshots of it, so I think I'll have a go at it.

I guess this means you're the winner of this stage of Bog's Suggest a Gun Game!

Congratulations.  I'll try to have the gun ready for our next release.

Alright, I've made it for our internal Developer Build. Hopefully it'll be balanced enough for the next release.

It was a hard one. It took me well over an hour to make the gun's texture... most other guns take me ~10 minutes. The bullet texture was also a little tricky. It took me about 15 minutes for it alone.

Currently it shoots bursts of 7 shots that deal 5 damage each, at as close to the same rate of fire I could get from the youtube video I saw.

The damage per shot seems a little low when compared to how powerful it was in the video, but I felt I had to do it for balance reasons. It still has a higher DPS then most of the other PA assault rifles, at the expense of shorter range and needing a longer aim time making someone using it less maneuverable.

Overall I think it's pretty balanced and a lot of fun to use.   

Awesome. Cant wait for nostalgia to kick in . This mod is absolutely amazing.
