Looks very nice.

It reminds me of the old punisher, has a more tactical feel to it.

Thumbs up man ;D

Wow! Really excited about the great response to the concept! I quickly threw together some possible skin options just so everyone could get some ideas about the customization. These were done very quickly so I apologize if you don't like a particular empire specific skin.

Desert Camo

Forest Camo

Snow Camo

New Conglomerate

Terran Republic

Vanu Sovereignty

For a fan art, it is great. For a game model, not so great. I feel like it doesn't fit with the PS2 style.

Still, nice work.

Sure Whalenator! I was going to mock it up in Maya but the more the merrier. Here's the line work for it so you can focus on it easier.

Thanks! I personally think it fits with the Nanite Systems style, though I didn't follow the color pallet exactly. If this were an empire specific weapon I would have to agree with you about it not fitting in, but grouping it with Nanite Systems I think it would work quite well in the game.

Looks incredible! The camo and the ES variant colour schemes were really well done!

good job!

I hope they have this in PS2!

The whole body of the gun looks good but theres something about the barrel lol. It looks like it could be a spear gun. Maybe its just the angle, idk.

Edit: Skins look good. I'm liking the VS version.

Yeah the angle makes the barrel look a bit strange lol. It's actually a similar style to how the barrel was in Planetside, tried to carry it over as it was an iconic part of the original Punisher. You can see how the Punisher looks in Planetside in the image below.

And thanks for the comment on the skins! The VS one really stands out for me as well hehe. Hopefully TRay and some of the VS players will enjoy it too.

Very nice man. Wish i knew how to do half this shit in photoshop. haha

Nicely done. The skins came out great.

Perhaps your lack of Photoshop skillz are why your comics turn out so good?

Anyway, that is an amazing concept gun, especially love skin options( <3 TR skin). Take note developers!!!

Punisher was always a low-cost training weapon - it was the perfect blend of the different kinds of weaponry that gave you a taste of what the more powerful versions of that class were capable of, but never overpowered. IMHO, this should be the starting weapon for Light Assault in PS2.

Great job on the concept!

How the hell are you even supposed to fire PS2s version? This mockup is vastly superior in every way.

CutterJohn · 2012-04-23, 10:44 AM

Not so much a fan. The grip is weird, the carrying handle/scope thing is too thick, and the barrel is too thin as well.

The biggest issue, sadly, is its simply an impossible design for a cartridge based firearm. Magazine and the ejection port are too far back, there would be zero room for the bolt to cycle to pull in a new cylinder. I'm big on plausibility.

Here's where the mag is on a bullpup design:

That area behind the magazine is absolutely 100% non negotiable.

PlaceboCyanide · 2012-04-23, 11:11 AM

Looks good, I especially love the TR and VS skins for it!

Cutter John is correct about the distance behind the magazine though, I would suggest moving the mag closer to the grip by a few inches. The barrel crown also bothered me as well, looks like it is trying to pose as a sex toy. I'd recommend making the barrel as thick as the widest part of the bulge.

All that nitpicking aside- you've created a vast improvement over the one referenced. Kudos

Also ... the ejection port is on the left side -- where the shooter's face would be (90% of the time). Still with some tweaks, this is a great concept.
