The BFG is the only squad weapon currently in the game. However its
not your typical BFG. The BFG in phaser frag is probably the first true
group fire weapon you have encountered in any game. When the BFG discharges
its ball of plasma it will immediately produce one laser per individual
on the same team as the person who fired the BFG. Until the BFG Ball itself
hits something or someone it will continue to produce a laser for each
individual it originally produced a laser for. The individuals that had
a laser produced for them may intern guide the BFG's laser via their own
cross hair. Anything those idividuals point at, the BFG will fire at. Note
that any individual deactivated while the BFG is in the air will not have
a laser produced for them any longer. So the only real BFG defense, other
than run, is to shot the players guiding the BFG lasers. |
