It's not the Gauss I know and love. I want to see that thing in first person without the yellow and blue and the logo. It looks beautiful otherwise...

I personally like the colors. It gives some personality to the guns. If you wanna a all greyish color rifle. I hear the TR are looking for a few recruits.

What you also need to remember is that we will have some customization options we can do to the weapons. Such as digital and so on. Wait to see what we can do in game before you start worrying about it.

I thought the Gauss in particular was incredible. The visual designs of the guns are among my least concerns, I'm more worried about game play mechanics.

If there's a fundamental problem with the way the guns fire, or the way they feel that's enough to diminish game play, then I might be concerned, but we won't know until Beta. For now I've been happy with the designs of the guns visually, particularly the Gauss and Jackhammer.

I'm guessing uh... infantry max arm and Pulsar (looks MUCH better than I remember if it is.)

EDIT: I don't mind the logos. I'm not paying attention to logos with the rest of the weapon to look at. Also, reload animation, firing animations, sound and feel will make crying over a logo seem fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I think you just convinced me that empire logos on weapons look bad.

Of course it's ridiculously minor, but then I imagine it's a ridiculously easy change to make. If not, then never mind.

Pulsar and the underbarrel attachment

Hmr85 · 2012-01-29, 05:37 PM

Best looking rifle in the game so far hands down.

I agree.

*Shrugs* I just remember the reveal trailer pulsar sporting the classic look, with the drum cell for the magazine, and a lack of a stock. This one looks much more streamlined.

How do they reload that thing by the way, or is the ammo source all in there, just infantry need to pace their firing in tandem with heat sinks, ala Halo's plasma rifles/carbines?

Yes, that one. It's just amazing.
