THE CURRENT 2.0 VERSION IS A TEST! kinda
While the current version is still a test, I do feel like its far, far more complete now. Still, stuff here is subject to change. Probably.
Make sure your RELOAD key is bound, as it's used for your melee attack!
Gameplay
These videos are old.
Spoiler:What is this?
A Metal Slug themed mod.
WEAPON LIST
Important: You can only carry one weapon per slot! Make sure to have your drop weapon key bound. You can also have only one type of grenade at a time. When picking up a new grenade, you'll drop your previous one on the spot.
This limitation has been removed for now, although you cant drop weapons at all anymore.
Spoiler:Screenshots:
- Knife: Your trusty combat knife, will always save you in a pinch and help conserve ammo! Please do not attempt to stab anti-personnel vehicles. Press RELOAD to use it at any time!!
- Pistol: Nothing better than ye' olde pistol. Infinite ammo, fires 1 stronger bullet every 3 bullets, completely accurate, everything a pistol has always had!
- Shotgun: A very powerful shotgun, firing close range shots capable of decimating even the most powerful of foes. Sadly, the pellets it fires dont seem to be as powerful after travelling a short distance.
- Flame Shot: Fire lingering clouds of death towards your enemies. Mechanical enemies might have an easier time dealing with it, but the infantry will quickly turn to ash and dust at a single shot.
- Heavy Machinegun: A fully automatic, heavy death dealer. Capable of firing impressive amounts of lead down range, this gun will be a great workhorse.
- Rocket Launcher: Fires high power rockets that take a bit before hitting full speed, capable of dealing devastating damage at range. Watch out for the self damage, though.
- Enemy Chaser: Fires small, homing missiles in quick succession. Missiles tend to deviate a lot in trajectory when they don't have a target, so make sure to have your enemy in sight. Still gotta watch out for the smaller self damage, though.
- Laser Gun: An ammo eating laser based weapon. This thing will make quick work of your ammo, but while it does that, it'll deliver instant rainbow death to whatever you point it at.
- Thunder Shot: An abomination made out of wires, duct tape, a battery, and what used to be a normal bolt action rifle. This thing will fire electrified death at whatever you aim it at, and the impact point will even scatter a few thunder zaps at nearby things.
- Grenades: These explosive pineapples can be randomly dropped by soldiers on death. Extremelly powerful, and quite devastating when spammed.
- Fire Bombs: A bottle, some gasoline, a rag, and a lighter. While not as fast to throw as hand grenades, these will explode into a wide area of flames dealing damage as long as it lasts. The firebomb will go through enemies, so you can throw it directly into the middle of a swarm.
- Stones: Exactly what it says on the metaphorical tin. Heavy damage directed at whatever it hits. Great for single targets, not so much for non single targets.
