DMR/"Combat Engineering" mode

[DeltaStrikeOp]

Hi guys. Sorry ruler501, BSODed in the middle of that match.

So I was thinking of adding a mode to ACR called DMR (designated marksman rifle, the R to avoid confusion with DeathMatch). This mode would have only the M21 & possibly the M16A4/Mk.12 SPR that Padge1 is in the process of making.

The DMR mode is realistic and is based on Designated Marksman (DM) combat. Designated Marksmen carry semiautomatic rifles outfitted with high power optics. Their main job is to assist the main squad and take out targets that are generally unreachable by common rifles w/o a high power optic. In this mode, the 2 teams consist of Designated Marksmen that choose either the M21/Mk14 or the M16A4/SPR as their main weapon (both semiautomatic and scoped). The M21 would have higher damage and recoil compared the the M16A4, as the M16A4 fires the smaller 5.56x45mm NATO round and ergonomics of the M16 are very friendly. The recoil of the M16A4 would be similar to the M16A3's recoil, unless you developers think that it would be too OP to have a DMR with low recoil (but also lower damage than the other Sniper Rifles). The M16A4/SPR would also have damage (and possibly recoil) that's between the M16A3 and the AK-47/M21 (not sure which is more powerful). Hipfire accuracy would be worse than the M16A3, as Optics severely impede accuracy in CQB.

Victor also suggested to add the M1014 to the gamemode, since it is barely used in gameplay. To add the M1014 should be interesting, but it would be pure hell trying to find a good name for the game mode. "CQB" generally applies to combat within 50 meters, and DMR (Designated Marksman Rifles) are meant to reach out to 200 - 700 meters (IRL). Also, in CQB, you aren't limited in weapon selection, therefore I think this mode should just be called DMR. This should be a mutator and every game style (CTF, TDM, DM) is able to have this mutator, similar to "Sniper", in which the only primaries are the M82 and the Intervention. However, this is your guys' game, and this is only a suggestion.


Thanks for reading! Hope this gets implemented!

BTW, I really think the M21 should have a higher magazine capacity. In order to make this mode fair, the M21 should have a 20 round clip, while the M16A4/SPR would have a 30 round clip.

EDIT: If the M1014 were to be added to the game mode, then the name would be called Combat Engineering. See post #3
