be serious guys, think of real names we could use. BE: Pistol 1 - ? Pistol 2 - ? SMG 1 - ? SMG 2 - ? Assault Rifle - ? Heavy Rifle - ? Heavy Machinegun - ? Scout Rifle - ? RPG/Mowtar - ? Concussion grenade - ? Mine - ? NF: Pistol 1 - ? Pistol 2 - ? SMG 1 - ? SMG 2 - ? Assault Rifle - ? Heavy Rifle - ? Heavy Machinegun - ? Scout Rifle - ? RPG/Mowtar - ? Concussion grenade - ? Mine - ?
Did a bit (I've used some NF city names) BE: Pistol 1 - ? Pistol 2 - ? SMG 1 - ? SMG 2 - ? Assault Rifle - ? Heavy Rifle - ? Heavy Machinegun - ? Scout Rifle - ? RPG/Mowtar - ? Concussion grenade - ? Mine - ? NF: Pistol 1 - Raven 9mm Pistol 2 - Grizzly Shotgun Pistol SMG 1 - Koln SMG SMG 2 - Raven Automatic 9mm Assault Rifle - Assault Rifle Heavy Rifle - Ronan Carbine Heavy Machinegun - ? Scout Rifle - Saanti Ranged Rifle RPG/Mowtar - The WarFle Concussion grenade - ? Mine - Crosshair
The NF heavy rifle is usualy just called "The .50 CAL" by everyone... So I suggest that actualy being put in the name
I think that the two sides should have very different naming styles, with BE weapons getting names like the M1A4 and NF giving their weapons names like "the grizzly" BE weapons can still have nicknames, like the "M1A4 "trusight" assault rifle"
all the weapons should have the technical name for the backstory, and then the nickname in quotes. this is about enhancing the game past smg 1, pistol 2, rifle 3, etc
So weapons will end up being called "The XK1-338 'Punisher' Heavy Assault Rifle". Will that fit in the boxes? Whatever their naming, numbers or nicknames, it's essential that their purpose is still spelled out (i.e. Assault Rifle, Ranged Rifle, SMG). If you just read something like "ER-78p", even looking at a picture you're probably not gonna know what it does.
All weapons have a model number, there are just a few that don't have a nickname. Some of them don't even need one IMO, people are probably still gonna call them by their old names (especially things like teh mowtar), I'm mostly worried with things like SMG1 and SMG2. The whole DM-xx series probably does need nicknames/renaming however. You guys still haven't figured out some of the name references either. :D BTW the M3-G3L is staying, unless you convince megel otherwise. ;D
There is the .50 cal...or the Kuma.....(which makes somewhat sence, if we are going for a bear theme ((grizzly that is))
I suggest that we nickname the most inaccurate weapon on the NF the "Al Fire" because everyone knows I can't hit a thing in game
exactly, because we're all proud of the contribution that l3ttuc3 has made to the mod :p just messing, i like the L3 TUC3 idea :D
Devs and playtesters then. I know there are some I have missed, like Doobie, Solokiller, and R_yell. Can anyone think of any more? EDIT: Halbalbador and Hellion. Hellion is a great name for this too. :D
K, I put names beside them all, because no one else seems to be doing anything about this. There are a couple I like, and a few I would gladly change if I could think of something better. Half of these are basically Ark's, which are wicked.

You mean the BE ones are called Flashblasts? (which sounds silly) The NF don't have writing from what I remember And lol Ronan Carbrien
Underlined are the ones that don't seem quite right to me. Bold are ones that I think shouldn't change, or should be whatever I put. Naming them after cities just kind of seems unnatural to me. Go up a few posts and read why I don't like the raven for the pistol. I don't really think mines and conc's need their own names.
