Marine weaponry

Longtooth · July 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">Welcome to the weapons forum.....</div>Good day gentlemen,
I was wondering about the calibers of the weaponry the marines use? Is it caseless? How many rounds in each magazine? Jacketed hollow point or full metal jacket? hopefully you guys can release this info...............

Does it matter?

I'm not even sure that is released or thought up yet, however, the caliber is displayed on the marine hud next to the ammo... however that could be placeholder, don't know, go look for a pic to see. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

please note that NS is not about the weapons or realism, it's about the gameplay

Scythe · July 2002

I heard something a while ago about the rounds being "Electronically Ignighted", whatever that means. In that movie of the LMG reload when the gun was firing, shell casings were flying out so I am guessing they are not caseless. I might be (And probably are) wrong though.

I am just curious about the ammunition sizes, if casings fly out the side while firing its not caseless, more than likeley the LMG fires 10mm, most games that take place in the future use that as the smaller caliber, anyways I wanted to know just to know, no it dosen't really matter but its the little things that enhance gameplay, like realistic behavior for the different calibers and ammunition types.

I can't help but feel this is relevant, not to mention more entertaining:

What's that got to do with anything?

That and it's large, hideous and far too extravagant to just sit in the thread without being noticed... a lot like the postee.

Right_Behind_You · July 2002

Why thank you Mart!

bbobb · July 2002

They use some made up calibur *shrugs* it's not like these are based on real life weapons

Freemantle · July 2002

*ahem*

I believe this topic is abolut dead beavers

Freestyler · July 2002

As has been said many times before by Flayra, NS is NOT a wepon mod. it does not go for fully realistic wepon handling and recoil. It does not care about caliber sizes or ammo types, or how the guns even work. All it cares about is good, fun gameply.

'Nuff said

Hollow · July 2002

Ahhaha, Voodoo got shot down.

As for weapons, does it really matter about "realistic bullet behavior?"

f3rret · July 2002

heehee... l33t5p34k is now illegal. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

You could go nuts calculating stuff like recoil, gravity, and coriolis forces, but that would only detract from the feel of the game. If you want realistic weapons, go for that Army game thing...

Legionnaired · July 2002

There's always operation flashpoint, but you have to play money for that.

Man, mods rock!

Oh, and BTW, cant NS be classified as a TC now?

Supremacy · July 2002

Who give a **** about what rounds they fire, aslong as they KILL KILL KILL <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':asrifle:'> <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':asrifle:'>

If you're psychotic about weapon realism, I've been led to believe that Firearms may be a better mod for you. Flayra et al. are making this mod with Priority #1 being FUN. Damage, ROF, recoil, clip, etc, are all being tweaked and altered as needed to create a fun and balanced game.

You know how ActionHL shoots for "action movie realism"? Think of NS as shooting for "scifi movie realism."

Legionnaired · July 2002

Except, the main character, you, dies a lot.

A while ago, I made the Shadowrun and NS thread. Basically it was a conversion of NS stuff into the Shadowrun RPG. When I converted the weapons, I gave them calibers. Here they are:

Pistol: .50
LMG: 7.62 NATO
HMG: .308
Shotgun: 12 gauge
GL: 20mm I guess.

They are no way offical but it works for me. Don't ask me how the recoil and stuff works out however (technological advences and all that).

if u guys want a really good SciFi game (which might scare the crap out of u as a marine <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>) u should get Aliens Vs. Predators 2. the one thing that game has that u dont, is EXOSUITES!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':asrifle:'> <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':asrifle:'> <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':tiny:'>

Plaguebearer · July 2002

I seem to recall exoskeletal augmentation being one of the Marine upgrades for NS, to balance the Lvl5.

Haven't heard anything about it in a while though.

Hicks-Aiens · July 2002

cool. the AVP2 exo has a double gattlinggun on right arm, missile launcher on right arm, flame thrower on left, and a laser on the left. buy the game, the exo rox (if u can get it)

heck no, it takes 30 shots to kill someone with bizon, before it took 5-7 shots, aahhh, bizon, the hardest gun in the game <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

DruBo · July 2002

Just to keep rumors from spreading, there is *no* giant robot suit. There might be armor upgrades that increase speed, strength etc but nothing like the exosuit in AvP2. Remember, we don't want to be like that game.

Hicks-Aiens · July 2002

lol, y not, it rox? ah, i see ure point, lol. actually, as i was browsin this stuff, i realized somethin. this game is like an old one thats virtually taken over by total jerks. Allegiance. everything is pretty much the same, except that was space combat! www.total-games.com/myallegiance those people should give u some info on it, but u need to kinda play it to understand (although i dont reccomend playing it, everyone that plays is an #######)
