A randomize backpack button

[Sebbern] · July 2011

Title says it all, pretty much.

I got a couple of guns and I really hate pretending like I click random weapons when I feel like pubbing with a complete random backpack. So if a "Randomize Backpack"(or bag) button gets added, it'd bring a new feeling to really have a random combination of weapons in one bag.

I think it should switch the main, sidearm and melee. Not the grenades since every type of grenade are good to have in certain situations.

Also, another option should be to limit how random it gets. If you want a SMG because you're doing TDM or going for the scout badge, you should be able to limit the randomization to SMG's only as the main weapon. Also, if you want either a rifle OR a sniper, you should be able to limit it to those two weapon categories only.

Anyone liking the idea? I've been thinking of it for awhile.

Would be nice, although i think a site that randomizes it would arrive more quickly if someone tried.

Sorry seb, missed the thread

Anyway, this thing has my full support. If they'd be items you can put in your backpack, it might be best if they just get their own tab in the storage.
Some things I'd like to see different:
- Make all restrictions badge based: this would change nothing for snipers and rifles, but add shotguns to the SMGs. There aren't that many shotguns and most people don't have them all, so a random shotgun would not have many choices....
- I'd prefer a randomisation for each weapon slot instead of for an entire bag.

And how do you see the effect of randomisation? A random gun each time you spawn or a random gun for an entire game?

If CF were to implement it, they'd probably only be able to put the buttons in storage, so it chooses random weapons for you.

Probably, you never know.

Nice suggestions, but yeah, the effect are more or less that you hit a button in your storage, the system will automatically change the content of the bag to what it sees fit. (And what you have restricted it as, of course) It will not be round wise, but the bag will contain those items till you change the content yourself, or by having the system randomizing it again.

I see, I'd prefer a randomisation for each game, but your explanation also has its good sides. And yea, randomisation each game wouldn't work with a storage button I guess.

You could always go in the storage in-between game and randomize your bags again. But in scrims, I'd advise you to randomize both bags and stick to one bag in the first half and the second bag in the second half.

I dont reallly like it...

I do the same thing, but what I do, is just close my eyes and pick a gun.

That and I just pick guns because I like all of them.

If modifying the game code was legal then maybe so. But it isn't, so it won't happen.

No I wouldn't like that. I would like to see, rooms with random bags not just random bags.

I sort of suggested that already, three times.

You won't like it because you already do the same thing..?

I like all of the guns I have also, but picking the weapons yourself makes the feeling of having a random bag go away.
