Suggestion for 'charged' guns

[UrQuan]

Hey all,

If you go by control method, Warframe has 3 kinds of gun, with minor variations:

1) Single shot (keep clicking to shoot)

2) Burst shot (click-pause-click)

3) Full auto (hold the mouse button to shoot)

I would like to suggest a fourth control method:

Hold to charge, release to fire.

With these weapons, the power of the next shot would increase as you hold the button, to a pre-defined maximum.

A fully charged shot would be a 1-hit kill on most enemies (headshot only), and uncharged shots would be very weak.

To use effectively, you shoot one guy with a charged shot, then charge the next shots briefly to get better (but not max) power. The weapon type would reward accuracy, and would be hard to use when you're surrounded.

Thematically, this control scheme would be good for energy weapons or future-ninja bow-and-arrow weapons.

What do you think, guys?

How about just having one button to change modes: "single" - "burst" - "auto" - instead of overjerking your mouse
