How difficult would it be for...

[Sloi sauce]

... a modding team to replace the "Eavesdrop" perk with something like "Odd Couple" (multiple attachments), leaving everything else vanilla?

I ask because I'm reasonably certain we can forget about IW patching this in.

I think some custom perks have already been created by modders. This should be possible to do in a custom mod.

My thoughts exactly. Question is, how do we get people to play.

It would take up a lot of space from the new models, skins, weapon files, and possibly animations required. The way IW has the weapons and attachments setup is, every weapon has several models, skins, etc. for every possible attachment (basic included). And CoD4 (apparently) has a model limit, and just adding all these new models would probably reach that, thus not allowing players to actually play the game (players would probably receive an error when loading a map).

So, I don't see it happening, let alone it being possible.

But what about in singleplayer when you have silenced g36 or something with a red dot and a gl?

damn good question!!!! cos i think instead og the ACOG for snipers, there could also be silencer too... so maybe for the "close-range" smiper that would be a good mix?

You get a silenced M4 with the works.

That's a single model, skin, animation set, the files for that one weapon are probably around the same of the basic M4 for multiplayer. It's not that easy for me to explain so I'll do this...

For multiplayer, having just two options for attachments would mean having to create several files for each of these:

• M4 Basic
• M4 Reflex
• M4 Suppressor
• M4 ACOG
• M4 Grenadier
• M4 Reflex Suppressor
• M4 Reflex Grenadier
• M4 Suppressor Grenadier
• M4 ACOG Suppressor
• M4 ACOG Grenadier

For single player, it's just that one weapon.

• M4 Reflex Suppressor Grenadier

Had IW made the attachment its own model which was positioned on the weapon and changed the file statistics then it would be very possible and probably would've been done by now.

Well, they could always include the new class of weapons instead. Since we already have some specialized weapons in singleplayer, just add those to one mp class and let people choose the one they want. Would be sweet.

It would be pretty unbalanced IMO.
Reflex suppressor? That defeats the the reason people would want a reflex site verses iron sight.

In a modification, yeah go for it- it might be fun to try for an hour or two. But for the official game, no way.

Multiple attachment is a seriously bad idea. Youre not losing anything out but youre gaining a alot. Throw the whole balance concept out of the window, basically. Id modify Eavesdrop perk into giving more information. Like for instance, showing them as red dots on the minimap. If someone uses a keybind for text, throws a grenade and every in-game audio message, somehow gets visible to you. And if that wouldnt be enough, displaying them on the minimap for a splitsecond while they do a communicative action (keybind text, grenade throw audio message, reload audio message, VOIP and text and radio commands) would do the trick. In balance, the dead silence perk would make you immune to eavesdrop.

[FPS[SONIC]]

Chris, that is a great idea. :salute:

[Keyelite]

something that would counter act the dead silence perk would be a good idea actually, i like it
