Weapon designs are kind of...meh. Lately, at least.

I thought the picture above was the new lasher?? am I mistaken in this? The one with the no stock was the pulsar. Notice the scale look on the top of the new one and scale look on the bottom of the old one


Old Lasher


and

New Lasher

Assuming the lasher actually returns. I haven't seen official mention of the pulsar from SOE, just that teaser video when PS2 was revealed, and even then everything was subject change.

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

Heh, the thing is, it does have the logo. You just can't see it well.

See, that VS rifle looks great. If the logo was splashed on somewhere, it'd diminish it slightly.

I know it's a minor thing, people, but we want this to feel as close to the original as we can, don't we?

Or maybe they listened to everyone who wanted a stock and redesigned it around that. Or, CUS TO MY ZAY SHUN. Or, It's not a Pulsar or a Lasher.

Putting a logo on there wouldn't diminish it at all. Don't force your opinions on other people.

[Shotokanguy]

You've seemed a bit testy since your first post in this topic, Zulthus.

One of my complaints with the most weapons as of now is, that they seem a bit big in comparison to the soldier wielding them. I know they were big in PS1, but there's no need to stick to that theme. I'd prefer more realistic proportions please.

I can see it just fine. I was saying that I don't think it looks very good. It doesn't look like paint, ink, vinyl or any other transfer, it looks like a photoshop layer that's been shrunk to fit a texture.

it's more likely that that is the new pulsar because..

1. it has a mod slot
2. so far only assault rifles have been given mods (see nc gauss rifle mods)
3. the old cycler seems to be scrapped
4. given points 1,2,3, the original pulsar would seem to have been scrapped as well.

Uh, the logo is on the VS rifle. Right in front of the trigger.

Edit: Or not. I don't know what you meant by "it does have the logo. You just can't see it well", then.

[Shotokanguy]

Yeah, it's hard to see. I didn't actually see it until your post.

The Vanu weapons have the advantage of being able to hide them because they're purple though. NC and TR weapons have to be normal gun colors, so blue and yellow is going to stick out like a sore thumb on them.

See the color scheme linked above by SKYeXile. You do not have to leave it bright blue or how it looks currently. You do have the option of changing up your colors... So for night time combat don't expect to see my weapons or anything else for that matter.

I believe the little circle where the logo is pops out.

And what is this thread? Logo's are such a minor thing, from what I can see they look fine.

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to change colour scheme of your gun see image below.

Honestly... how this made it to three pages I don't know. It's a damned logo. They look awesome.
