It just doesn't look like a nade launcher... theres surely be a new model but I don't think it's this. Maybe it's really a energy weapon. So Flayra breaks the rules... LETS FLAME HIM ^^

It's actually an accordion. That handle thing in the center top is just a music stand. Hey, if some humans can't stand the noise it makes, think about what it would do to the Kharaa!

Yep MonsE, methinks it's time for your semi-annual bathing. Yes, I know you were holding it off for the 1.1 release, but it's time. /me feels very sorry for Lisa
Back on-topic, got a question: are we going to be seeing the picture in all its glory in the future, or are you going to re-post one with *slightly* less blurring each day?

I think that its the flme thrower, and no, its not impossible to make a flame thrower, actually, its very similar to how the shotgun works. You just put a wider spread on the weapon, or smaller, and have a range limit to the weapon. It would have an extreamly (I MEAN FAST) fast rate of fire, like the shotgun, with small damage with each shot, so you would burn... You can make a flame thrower, it would just be a bit harder, and instead of tracers, put flames.
If its not the flame tower, I think its a hunk of metal that we can tear off the level, and use it as a club aginst the aliens! I can see it now...

I was just about to say what the above picture illustrated.
Given the size of the grenades themselves, they would likely have a large ammo 'clip' like the round one shown. The handle is likely a ammo chamber release. There is the iron sight, similar to the one seen in the TFC grenade launcher. The 'extended barrel' might not even be a barrel, it could be a sort of 'usher' at the end of the barrel, or a flashlight or laser sight added for detail.
Yeah that thing at the front may well be an usher, but I wouldnt be surprised if this thing turns out to be something some sod submitted a year ago and got rejected, and they just decided to blur it and trot it out to drive us nuts.
But if not, its either a welder or the gl - prolly the gl
I'm hoping against hope that It's a flamethrower...
Flay had wanted one in NS since its original conception. He only didn't implement one because he couldn't find a way to make it truley volumeric (Fills up tight corridors and goes further; spreads out in open rooms and is generally less effective). It wouldn't be too hard to do visually, what with NS's particle system and whatnot.
As for probability? Well, BRMonkey had always hated the current GL model (It was actually the original HMG model... heh...). But who knows? It could always be somthing completley different. Considering I'm a PT and they didn't even tell me, and what with the NS Dev team's noteriety for keeping secrets (Heavy Marine armor anyone?) it could very well be...
[Edit] Very nice Fina, I think you got it spot-on. :D. [/Edit]
Whatever it is, it looks darned uncomfortable to hold. I hope the TSA has some good anti-recoil technology or that thing's going to be hell on wrists... I mean, look at it. If that gray thing is the grip, you'd almost have to bend your wrist over to hold it. Wierd.
Unless it doesn't have recoil (read: flamethrower).
Hm...I can see it being a flamethrower, maybe by the grips(see attached image.) The gripping I've diagrammed kinda shows the gun being held at waist level, suggesting it to be a flamethrower because aim doesn't matter with flameys.
[Edit]The left arm would be down straight or tucked into the side, while the right would stick straight out for aiming or whatnot...I think.[/edit]

Um.. I wanna just point something out about the pic. That little thingy at the top that looks like a handle? What if it's really a rectangulare display? Aka, show # of 'nades left?
And, yes, it is the new GL model. Nothing else makes sense. Wait... nothing ever makes sense. NS = No Sense! So.. ok... Scrap that... it's the fade's REAL new ability. It morphes that onto it's back, and BOOOM! It's a combo HMG/GL/Welder.... It even makes sense story wize... the bacteria have assimilated the nanotech... and the fade got really **** off at the 1.04 marines, so in 1.1 it's taking revenge....
