Zook 2.0, Plans for Season 4

Zook 2.0

Planned changes for Season 4

I've been brainstorming ideas for projects to work on over the off-season break. Upgrades to the armory, refine the rules and play system, add new flaw-proof gametypes, as well as work on a few things for myself.

This past summer, I had originally planned to be using the T3 BSR that was slated for completion in time for Season 3. Various aspects have hindered this weapon's progress and as time progresses, I'm led to believe it will probably be dropped. At the end of Season 3, I fielded the M42B Scope Rifle II and it had great success. However, after further off-season exploration and design, I've been able to design another weapon based on the Scope Rifle that promises to be my weapon of choice. It is still an experimental, non-combat tested, in-production unit, but I anticipate it's speedy completion and fielding soon.

Weapons Plan
M43A "Sentry"> Experimental Sniper Rifle
M42B Scope Rifle II> General Combat use/backup
CQB Pistol> Sidearm use

I've not yet decided whether I'll use the Sentry as my main weapon or not. Obviously, combat tests will reveal the Sentry's effectiveness. I think the ideal plan would be to always go out with the Sidearm and either the Sentry or the M42B Scope Rifle II.

Though my Sidearm isn't changing, I'll be starting up a new project to house it. Its not too different from the succesful CVP-01 that I use now. In fact, this new project uses the same idea behind the CVP-01, utilizing a USH as the base harness. Below is the plan for my accessories and gear:

Vest and Accessories Plan
CVP-03
>will house communications, sidearm, and lights
MARPAT camo system

The switch to MARPAT (looks like this) was decided at the very end of Season 3. During Season 3, I felt that the night digi camo that I used stood out too much in early evening matches and was only really effective for the last 1 or two games when night had fully taken effect on the park. However, I noticed that other players using normal woodland camo were blending in just fine during day and night battles. MARPAT is short for MARine PATtern and is used currently by the USMC as their primary camouflage system. This camouflage is easy to come by and there are many optional pouches and accessories produced using this camo.

All this is part of the Zook 2.0 plan, which will continue to optimize the way I play. Use this topic's links to see all the aspects of this plan.
