What kind of weapons can we expect?

[GuyFawkes]

I finally got the New PC GAMER and from what I can tell the weapons look some what different but some what the same as all of the other FPS games out right now. The Wrench , I take it, Is like the crowbar from Half-Life/2. Then theres a weapon thats got like a massive Bubble on the front and middle.
I was thinking of a cool weapon. It deals with portals. Its a pretty simple concept. Its a gun that opens portals to space. Not like a planet in space just open deep space. When an enemy charges at you , you shoot a mine like object on the ground that creates a massive portal in front of your enemy. The enemy charges into it and floats into space and explodes from lack of oxygen. Its alt-fire could be like the gravity gun from Half-Life 2. The gravity gun isnt very original but most games with physics will probably have something like it.
Just a thought but if they could refine this idea and make it work it would be quite a bit different from most of the weapons in FPS.
If anyone else has any ideas post them , Id like to hear your thoughts on my idea or and idea of your own.

I wonder if they're still going to have that small tactical nuke weapon showed in the 1998 Imhz video.

I would love some cool melee weapons, we did see a wrench in one of the PC Gamer scans.

i think we'll get more alien type weaponry than normal as basically the whole game is on the alien ship. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

i hope talon can help fight some enemies or distract them while you are firing at them. it'd be cool to see him claw out an alien's eyes. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The idea is great, but how will you be able to see your enemy die?

Bow & Nuclear Arrow?

One of the screenshots looks like a poison crossbow.

The tactical nuke weapon from that video reminds me of the shock rifle from the Unreal Tournament games. The alt fire from the video looks a lot like the alt + fire "combination shot" to me.

Its easy you can see into the portal and sit there and watch them burst. I also had another Idea but i dont know how hard or easy it would be to pull off. If there are windows on the ship you could see them floating out side. Say three went into a portal, you run by a window and theyre floating outside the ship and burst . Theyre chunks hit the windows and you keep on moving.
