You heard me.

In a couple or so months from now, the time of judgement will at last come upon us. Every year, for one day, this glorious day is celebrated to honor what few understand; a day of such magnitude that many are inspired to act what they thought too crazy, too wild, too foolish, but nevertheless execute it and act in awe from their own actions.

I understand that what I am about to say is in ignorance of the developer's current plans, especially in such a near or distant future. But I must urge them not to waste such a moment, and instead seize it in the most appropriate manner. I may not even be allowed to suggest this, or may have even posted this far too early. Regardless, I feel that it is my duty to share this idea, lest it succumbs to the confounded nature of my mind and become lost, forgotten.

I am talking about April Fools. And with this special holiday, I would like to make these brief suggestions in order to ensure the spirit of this holiday is tastefully experienced and enjoyed, at least until the event is over. In no particular order, here are my thoughts:

Let every bullet imitate the sound of plastic Nerf pellets, the TOW rockets roar in foamy force, the grenades burst in water balloons, and the mines of any sort, delightfully break wind as mini whoopee cushions upon impact. That is my vision.

Furthermore, a statement of the like ought to present itself accordingly(albeit not as lengthy as it should be):
"We feel that the rise of violence in video games is enough, and have thus taken action into promoting instead a fun, safe, and considerate environment for our players. Remember not to point at each other's eyes!

Play safe, pilots.
Happy April fools."

Can't you just picture it_ Many other ideas can also be implemented alongside the initial thought, such as euphemisms on any death-related message, and much more. This would be an absolutely exciting event, and I'm open to discussing this wonderful topic with anybody interested.

Remember my friends, to think of the children, the adult-child within each one of us, piloting a giant steel death machine.

Thank you.

Thread may be subject to bumps and/or reposts in accordance with forum rules and regulations as it slowly approaches closer to the magnificent holiday. Happy super early April fools I guess, or "February fools" as it seems, at the time of the original post.

If they wanna troll everyone on april fool's day without taking up a lot of their time to do so, all they need to do is replace every weapon sound with the REV-GL sound
EVERY weapon

This should be stickied, as the sheer genius of this post is quite apparent.

I'd like to play a nerf game or eighty.

*picks a brawler, activates the ability, never dies*

Unless the sound is the only thing changed and nothing to do with damage, if that's the case I'll still die if my team doesn't know how to keep a brawler in one piece.

I'm thrilled to see my fellow pilots support and appreciate this thread. Initially I had thought I had written too much, or that my title would be taken out of context and would result in some very upset people. Now I'm relieved, and have greater faith in the validity of the idea.

Thank you all once again.

When I read the title I'm like "we don't need this to be COD style have to unload a clip to kill someone and that if you hit almost all the time."

Then I read it.

And have all the sniper type weapons deliver a suction-cup-to-smooth-surface "smack" sound.  Y'all know what I mean I was just never good with onomatopeia words (or how to spell onomotopeia).

Best April Fools Joke would be to log-in and find your mechs gone from the garage.

I'd like to not answer that but I will, in CoD I tend to unload at someone with a rather accurate LMG and it's like nope, no kills for you.
I haven't played BO2 so I don't know if they almost fixed that...

[Tyrust]

I don't know about nerfing everything. I do know that it sucks to be hit twice by someone and die all the time because I don't have the money to beef my machine. I do think some of the rockets are a bit overpowered. That and the assault rifle could use a bit more strength. Doesn't really make sense to have an smg have the same rating of an assault rifle aside from a slight difference in the accuracy.
