Equipping Two Main Weapons in HD2SS-Coop

Hi All,

Did a brief search and couldn't find any information:

Playing SS Co-op, I can't seem to equip a man with two main weapons. I can only ever manage one rifle/smg/etc and a pistol. Is this intentional by the programmers, or am I missing something??

If intentional, is there anyway (ie a hack) to re-enable it to be like the standard single player campaign..

thanks,
Pete.

I believe it is some H&D2 MP restriction, as you cannot pick up two weapons in occupation for example. I believe it is made to eliminate sniper + SMG combinations.

You can loot enemy?s weapon when you kill him and its ammo from his body, in case you need second one.

But you can eguip yourself that you have primary weapon + AT weapon, like M1 Garand + Bazooka for example.

It's a bit annoying, but in theory it encourages team play. It probably does in reality, too, although in public servers you won't often see much of it.

A sniper should be able to shoulder (tie to backpack) a Sten, Greese Gun or Destoked Thompson...

Yep, but it wasn't a decision based on realistic carrying capacities, just on gaming balance - the thinking being that if you could have a sniper rifle and an SMG, then almost everyone would have a sniper rifle and an SMG. And, as I said, making everyone a 'specialist' should encourage teamplay, although in actuality all that happens is that most players pick the best weapon for the particular map, and snipers just pick up an MP40 from a dead enemy. I think it would have been best if the ability to choose 1 or 2 weapons was up to the server host.

Like Iv said in zillions of other posts, EVERYthing should be left up to the server host...

I would not go sniper/smg, Id stick to what I do...

Would you?

An "sof" sniper (specialist) should be able to carry an smg for personal defence...
