The Weapon Thread

Joe Siegler · 01-03-2006, 01:35 PM

From Joe3DR: We have several current weapon threads floating around, I'm going to be merging them into one. Don't need that many.

Stormfox · 08-28-2006, 08:15 PM

If the 2001 video is anything to go on it seems Duke will have a badass assault rifle in DNF, which I think is awesome. However, I would like the tripple barreled monstrocity Duke packed in Duke 3D to return as some kind of heavy machine gun or something like that. Maybe like the chaingun in Quake II in that it can fell the toughest foes in seconds but chews through ammo like nobody's business. What do you guys think?

Mr.Sociopath · 08-28-2006, 08:29 PM

yeah I want chain gun.. but it must rip body to pieces

Telee · 08-28-2006, 08:42 PM

Definately. If they don't have the chaingun I'll be dissapointed

I love your discription...

Kalki · 08-28-2006, 11:31 PM

A chaingun would be an effective, non-explosive gibbing weapon.

Amakou · 08-28-2006, 11:44 PM

Duke would run a bit slower, though.

But it'd be completely worth it...

Stormfox · 08-29-2006, 12:03 AM

While we're on the topic of weapons what else do we want to see? I loved the devastator and think it's a vital Duke weapon although i can imagine some significant frame rate drop whilst launching 4 rockets roughly every second in a modified unreal 2.5 engine. Also, although it's a FPS cliche now I like the idea of finding pieces of an uber powerful alien weapon as you advance through the game. It encourages exploration and greatly rewards it.

hell-angel · 08-29-2006, 12:42 AM

The only chaingun cannon I want is the devastator

(chaingun rocket launcher

)

Rider · 08-29-2006, 01:26 AM

Minigun Minigun!!

MakronMan · 08-29-2006, 01:31 AM

i had a thought about a minigun which would fire belts of shotgun shells imagine the possibilities

brabee · 08-29-2006, 02:15 AM

i think that minigun or at least machine gun (m249?) is a must

Like the ripped off shoulders of the user? The recoil would be too deadly.

Stormfox · 08-29-2006, 03:19 AM

i know someone who modified serious sam so that the minigun fired shotgun shells. Slowed his pc waaay down.

A minigun is unrealistic anyway! It is not meant to be used by one man. You can fix it on a helicopter and the like. Don't believe everything you see in films.

Malgon · 08-29-2006, 05:23 AM

Devastator ftw!

Micki! · 08-29-2006, 06:09 AM

Predator had the coolest Minigun ever...

SyntaxN · 08-29-2006, 07:21 AM

To be honest, I always expected a minigun to appear in DNF. It fits Dukes style very well

Montykoro! · 08-29-2006, 07:59 AM

I like T2 Minigun and the "rip" efect on the cars...

flying scotsman · 08-29-2006, 10:10 AM

i like Chevrolet impala/caprice.It was very common in 1980's films,especialy police versions,

YES. If not a chaingun, a minigun.

hellrazor · 08-29-2006, 06:35 PM

I want the (S) Weapon that you can see in Contra I and III on Nes/Snes.

alexgk · 08-29-2006, 09:23 PM

Yeah, chaingun! (And grenade launcher

)

I know! And that's why I answered this way to a comment about recoil. Because it is unrealistic anyway.

big fat lazy · 08-30-2006, 01:02 PM

^Good point, we don't want any unrealistic gunplay in DUKE NUKEM.

We don't?? Ah, And I was just hoping for DNF to do a summersault while shooting at all the enemies at the (or so it appears) all the enemies at the same time while scratching is ass and opening some new gum.

George Broussard · 08-31-2006, 02:30 AM

The Ripper Chaingun is back in the game.

Kalki · 08-31-2006, 02:32 AM

Does it still look like a set of pipes?

It's pretty faithful to the Duke 3D one with some updates to be more modern and a few thousand poly's vs a 2D sprite

Thanks, make it badass!

Stormfox · 08-31-2006, 04:22 AM

GB has posted on my first ever DNF forum post! Yay, I feel special. Thanks George. I was playing the HDR Duke3D just yesterday and looking at the 3d ripper gun whilst ripping through some pigcops and thinking "Man, this looks so cool. I hope it's in DNF."

I hope this time it actually looks like a chaingun....

ReadOnly · 08-31-2006, 08:03 AM

At last! George is back! To DNF forums. But I'd prefer him to do it 2-3 days earlier as the "NEWS" striked me hard with all this silence for several months.

Well I recall the machine gun from DN 3D great.

Here is a little information about chainguns, miniguns and whatnot: http://world.guns.ru/machine/minigun-e.htm

Denz · 08-31-2006, 12:23 PM

Oh then it would be cool to have the same DN3D shootgun, best shootgun ever.
