I may try to make the arrows in flight a little bigger so they can be seen easier. If you're changing the graphic file for the bolt, could you please also add a nice sunny smiley face on the end of the bolt, so that when it comes straight at you, you could see it and get a nice warm fuzzy feeling of love as you are pierced through and spill your life blood on the ground? I LOVE that idea. Very funny indeed.

Well, it's basically a semi-auto already, in the same way that our "single shot bolt rifles are" because we don't have to do anything to load another round into the chamber, we just get a shot and an automatic reload with one pull of the trigger. (Fully automatic, of course, means the weapon will fire and chamber the next round and continue to fire and rechamber until it is out of ammo, when the trigger is pulled once and held down.) Maybe I didn't think this one all the way through, but I just was wondering whether selective fire might allow different scripting on the mod for the crossbow, IF the single-shot rifle CAN be modded to allow for bash before reload. With our smg's, we have (or used to have, I need to check again) the ability to select fully auto or 3-round burst, and with the UZI it used to be that we could switch between fully auto and single shot. As usual, Lamron asks for input, we give him stuff, and then, when he's through laughing or shaking his head at the suggestions, some little nugget of a new gizmo/setting creeps out from under the newest Client Fix quite some time later. So, I just threw it out.
I do like the smiley-face arrowhead idea, though. Some of the user-generated mods/maps on my old fps game Marathon had those on the rockets from the SPNKR (Spanker!) rocket launcher!

I have enjoyed the Cross Bow immensely... My question is: does the arrow kill instantly with any hit? or, does damage vary based on area hit? Either my opponents hit me between the eyes every time or, ...? I never seem to bleed... just die instantly upon contact!... Perhaps the arrows hate Mac guys more....? I love the weapon, tho. Don't change it!

with it being the slowest rate of fire and reload, I'm pleased with it being a one shot kill weapon.

The Bolt, as Rubble so eagerly corrected me on shortly after the X-bow was available, delivers a 100 health loss on I think, any hit.
If you successfully grab a death flag and select the extra health, it will subtract 100 on a bolt-hit.
In my opinion, as far as the Xbow causing a puff of smoke when fired, I believe that the weapon is difficult enough to use accurately so the stealthy shot should remain that way.

Unlike other weapons, the crossbow will never be "balanced". Its only real advantage is going through BPvests. Other than that its slow and difficult to use effectively against any other weapon. Its pretty much a "expert" weapon or for those who really want to challenge themselves. EVERYONE keeps saying all this . Yet it keeps winning nearly every maps it's played, by anyone that uses it regularly, regardless of type of map or opposing weapons .
