Option to not drop your gun upon death

I like the gun drop though because people might run out of ammo, but I just wish it doesn't get damaged during the use of another player...

Just no.

I might like your gun and want to use it.

This. It is good marketing to let a potential customer use an item before they buy it.

I like how 2/3 of the people don't consider asking the person to use it. Invalid argument, unfortunately.

Well if your dead who do I ask? ok ok maybe it is a game and your still able to talk but do I really need to ask you? you don't need it your dead and in a battle zone do you really expect people to freeze besides your gun and say "hey can I use this"?

This is a myth. Test it.

To compare this to reality, I highly doubt a soldier will go up to a body and ask him to use his weapon, and he is not required to do so to be able to use the weapon.

The same is in Crossfire, a player will not have to ask to take a weapon from a dead person. Of course, people are angry about this.

But what do you lose by having someone steal your gun?

Your gun does NOT take damage when someone else uses it, so that eliminates that factor.

You are not robbed of your weapon because your body is dead when the player picks up a gun, so that eliminates that.

So what is left is the factor that you are angry about: The fact that the player is able to hold the gun without buying it.

Even if the player gained the gun permanently by picking it up, it would not harm your account one bit. However, you would be enraged that the player was able to obtain the gun for free, but you had to pay.

However, we are talking about gaining a gun temporarily, so that's somewhat irrelevant to what will be said next.

When a player picks up a gun, he only obtains it for the remainder of the game or until he dies. He will not be able to use it for a very lengthy amount of time, so I don't understand how you will become angry about a person using it for such a short amount of time (He is bound to die within seconds of picking your gun up.)

If you are, indeed, angry about a player being able to use your gun, which will not take damage, for a few seconds, then what is the problem with letting someone try out a gun for a short amount of time, and with no damage to you? Considering you are dead, he really does not need to ask for your gun, as your dead body is not in use of it (if you believe it is, then you've got quite a problem).

In addition, your bought gun will not "simply fill up a room", as players die very often, and guns on the ground are sometimes ignored (unless you are playing a 1 v 1 game, in which case, it will more than likely happen.)

TL;DR Section

Also, very simply, you are dead, and dead people have no control over their gun after they die.

So no, I don't think you should have the option to toggle gun drop on and off.

OT: 1000th post!!!!!!!!!!!1111

Have a cry about it

I disagree. Usually in games only sniper my regular awm runs out while I'm jumping noscoping another guy :P I usually pick up another awm so I don't agree with you.

Have a good day =D

Why do people rage over the silliest things?
Like Pancake said, people using your gun does nothing to you.

1. You either are currently dead or just respawned. Either way, you are unable to use the gun or have a brand new one.

2. It doesn't affect the gun damage rate at all. Damage is based purely on how long you use a bag. The bag time determines how much damage each weapon in it takes. Bag time is applied after a game not during. So no damage is received from others using it.
Want proof? Only use your pistol in a game and your Primary will still take lots of damage.

3. It is a great way to test out a weapon before buying it. The main problem with the item store and BM is that it is nearly impossible to find out if one likes a gun before buying it. Add the 1/3rd return sale price and buying weapons to test them becomes very expensive.
I feel bad for people that go and win the Stakeout, it worse then all the GP shotguns.
They had no way of knowing that tho intill they test it out.

4. There are situations where one needs a new weapon in the middle of a game.
Being able to pick up other players guns adds tactical options to the game.
More options with no cost is always a good thing for a game.

5. And finally, if you dislike others using your guns. THEN STOP DIEING.
They were only able to use your guns because you died and dropped it. Get better and you won't die as often. Less dieing means less "weapon stealing".

Agree with this. Just my only pet peeve is that if it was introduced, I would stop getting team naded in CW's ;-)

If you don't like people taking your gun when you die, then don't use it. It's as simple as that. If you think them taking your gun gives them an advantage over you, then now you know how other people feel when you use that gun.

I would know what I'm talking about, whenever I'm using my SLRD, its the first thing thats taken from the ground.

I see how that happens. Hmm, you ever get teamnaded when your teammates want it and don't want to follow you until they die?

I once had a guy spraying at me with an AK for 3 rounds in GM cuz I wouldn't give him my M4Pat. Oh how my KDR died that day.

OT: Like other people have said, if you don't like people stealing it, then don't use it. While I personally hate it as well, I don't support removing gun drops, even if it is optional.

Damn that sucks so bad. Should have glitched your gun into a wall somewhere and teamnaded yourself just to troll him xD.

Did you played any other shooters then crossfire?

I played many games like counter strike, cod, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and many others. The crossfire players are the only players that complain about someone stealing their weapons.

What is your problem? Why are you so angry if someone uses your weapon? That's the way it is, get used to it.

In reality, it would drop so why shouldn't it drop here? Also, no one would drop their gun if this was put in so you wouldn't be able to try new guns or get a different gun if you run out of ammo.

Yes, all the time, but they usually die before they get it, and I'm used to it by now, so I don't mind. besides, if you really want people not to use your gun that badly, just drop it in a corner when no one's looking and go out with your secondary.
