Ideas for new Perks

[MrCynical]

I'd like that.

But I tell you what, you'd need to take that perk on all of your custom setups, otherwise it would make switching between them mind boggling.

[CoD4Freak]

Some short range radar, if you're in 20 feet of an enemy a "beeping" sound will come

[McK]

Radar would be pointless imo.

[Vancha]

Radar would be pointless imo.

Depends, Freak's version sounds like it would be viable.

You could cover one direction and let the radar tell you if there's one coming from the other direction. Not to mention the advantage it'd give to tunnel-visioned snipers.

I couldn't see it being overpowered and it should be programmable...

Cyn: I'm not sure...it could be confusing, but at the same time would it be any different to having different special grenades, or 1st perks on different setups?

Suggest a perk of your own creation. Be very specific in your description.


Mod Edit: Merged Suggest a Perk with Ideas for New Perks, because they both serve the same purpose-Kaptain Karl

We already have a topic like this one in the General Forum.

However, I came up with 'Thermal Goggles'. It would be a perk slot 1 perk and replace your normal NVGs with Thermal Goggles. Great for sniping, etc.

[MrCynical]

So we're talking Sonar, MGS style? I like that, it would indeed be very useful to the lone sniper. Or even on a full silenced/ninja setup.

Van; That is true, but after using said setup with enlarged knife for a while, you'd get used to stabbing/lunging before you normally would, so when you switch to another setup, it could be extremely disorientating adjusting back, so that first and even second stab could go horribly wrong. Catch my drift?

Oh yeah, I got what you were saying...I just think the same thing happens with the items I said as well.

Throwing a stun and finding it's a smoke, or pressing 5 and picking a claymore out instead of an RPG, that kind of thing.

I'm not disagreeing with you though, I think it'd take a while to get used to if you used it a lot then changed class.

[Kaptain Karl]

An X-ray vision perk that would allow the user to see through walls, cars, ect. for a short amount of time.

[Cole Train 33 (xbox360)]

The thing about having the Desert Eagle in right now is that at the rate of fire you can achieve is already inhuman.  These characters can fire it as fast as a saw and only 1 shot can sprain your wrist. Therefore i dont think that bionic arm is a necessary perk.

Ah, fair kop. We can agree at least that bigger and better knives would OWN.  :toothy9:

Or hidden online achievments to make your weapons, knives, grenades, S. 'nades, bullets be MUUUUUCH bigger on KILLCAM!

[WoNkaMyWiLLy]

A really awesome perk would be to be able to have like a dog whistle so you could call in 2 or 3 three dogs or so and they could run around the map until they were all killed. and only one call per spawn. or would be a good idea for a 10 kill streak.

Release The Hounds:  I like that for the 10 kill streak

[WoNkaMyWiLLy]

Thermal goggles would be genius.

They could have sunglasses too...

- Shortens the blind duration on stun and flash nades
- Stops lights from blinding you (table on crossfire anyone?)
- Stops the light from being so bright when you're looking out from a dark area (due to HDR/Bloom, again, some good examples on crossfire).

      That should be added in without taking away from anything. NVG is up on the D-pad for xbox 360. why not make Thermals down on D-pad? Theres no action for that button, and i think that would fit perfectly. The only time i use NVG is occasionally when people are camping on wet works

[Crymsonnite]

I like the dual pistol, go john woo on their asses

here's a few random ideas
Health pack-give team mates limited juggernaut
Beatdown-rather than knife, you use gun stock, less damaging, but uses way faster, and assainations are still 1KO
Wall mine-like a claymore crossed with C4, only have 1 of, and can't throw, basically you stick it like claymore, only anywhere you can reach. only have 1 because that thing would be deadly, worse than claymore cause of ability to hide it better
Steel lungs- iron lungs times 2
bayonet-run into people to stab them, or beat down to stab forward motion to do more damage
riot shield-(took from counter strike) can only use pistol with it, and can't fire when shield is up(left trigger)
another great addition would be assaination animations
like, walk up to someone, stab and hit one of the buttons(jump,reload,switch weps, or B(can't remember what it does)), and rather than just stabbing, it does a gears of war kinda thing, and does  an animation to make the kill epic, machinima would be godly with that
