AWE - The Second Encounter Edition

Finally, after working for so long on Serious Sam 3, I have gotten both TFE and TSE and have moved on to modding those now. And the first order of the day is making my core weapon enhancement mod for them. After some weeks of slaving away at rebalancing all the weapons, (Nine in total were available to be balanced and needed balancing. Two others needed balancing but were unavailable for editing and the other two were just fine.) I am now proud to present my first mod for these spectacular games.

Q: OK. So what is AWE?
A: AWE stands for Artificial's Weapon Enhancements. It's origins can be traced back to Serious Sam 3: BFE when I thought the shotguns needed a serious buff in order to make them viable for the late game. After that, I was so impressed with the results that I began to rebalance other weapons. And more... Until I finally had almost all the weapons rebalanced and powerful and effective in their respective fields but not too overpowered at all. You can find the final results of my work for that game here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=452464725

I have made other mods for SS3 but those are all separate from the AWE pack.

But what is the overall goal of this weapon rebalancing you ask? It is simply to make each weapon more viable in more situations. Basically to make each of them satisfying and elegant tools of destruction. What they were meant to be.

Q: Cool. May I have a list of all the changes you made from the original weapons?
A: Absolutely! Since the list is so long though, I'll have to redirect you to here: http://pastebin.com/6mNYvjm9

Q: Any more details I should know about the mod?
A: Technical Details:
- No DLC needed.
- Works with just TFE or TSE or both.
- Balanced for Normal difficulty and up.
- Backed by our Kicks *** Guarantee.

Q: What were the two weapons that needed rebalancing but couldn't be edited?
A: Those would be both the Military Knife and the Flamethrower. The knife can be safely ignored though. The Flamethrower... Maybe not so much. :\ The problem with the knife (And the Chainsaw too sadly.) is that its damages are hard-coded into the game so absolutely nothing can be done about that. The Flamethrower SHOULD be able to be edited but the problem is, trying to edit the damages in any way will make the game begin to crash randomly and uncontrollably. There is hope though. Croteam has said once they have more time, they will look into the bug but until it's fixed, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do really for the Flamethrower.

Having said that though, the Flamethrower is still pretty viable as it is and it only needs a slight buff so it can still definitely be used.
