<div class="IPBDescription">PlanetSide Marines! Oh man thats crazy</div> Waitng for 2.0 has caused me to endlesly wander the internet for things to do. i recently came across PlanetSide which is one of the worlds first MMOFPS games ever. It pits marines from one of 3 factions against each other in real time battles on a real planet.
But after playing a while, I realized that PS has every single weapon and armor from NS and more tucked away within itself.
It has a pistol, knife, LMG, HMG, grenade launcher, shotgun, welder, medpacks, ammo boxes, light armor, badass heavy armor, and jetpacks. For refrence, I have this link to the PS weapon page and will name off my best match for each item
<a href='http://planetside.station.sony.com/howto/weapons.jsp' target='_blank'>PS weapons</a> (look up names below on this page)
Pistol: repeater
Knife: force-blade
LMG: cycler
HMG: mini-chaingun
nade launcher: thumper
shotgun: jackhammer
welder: (not listed there) Engineer's armor repair or vehicle repair device
medpack: (not listed) medpack
ammo: (not listed) there are about 20 different graphics for the ammo box
Its hard to find pictures of those last 3, so ill probably get some screens of them up later
<a href='http://planetside.station.sony.com/howto/armor.jsp' target='_blank'>PS armor</a>
light armor: Reinforced (any faction, but the purple Vanu look the best)
HA: yellow NewConglomerate MAX or red TerranRepublic MAX (weapons on MAX armor are usually mounted in as or on the arms)
jetpack: purple Vanu MAX (the Vanu MAX is the only thing in the game with jetpacks, they are located on the feet as jumpjets, but a normal jetpack could just be mounted on an Agile Exo suit. purple shiny Vanu would still look best.)
The only downside is that PS severly lacks in structures save a med terminal and equipment terminal... but those can be replaced substituted or just left the same.

Comments
although a droppod would make a cool IP.
I always did want an NC MAX (preferrably antiair, I'd love to see the expression on a Reaver pilot's face when I pop out from behind the trees <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ), but since the weapons are slaved to the suit's forearm, you also run into the same problems that plagued the MALICE, as in what are you going to do with the p_ and w_ models, and how to make an "all in one" gun that could pull off the look and the feel without becoming too bulky on the screen, a la OICW.
Although Sony would probably cry, there's little they can do if they're generally released. A la the method that models for Q2 etc got away with it. Release, ensure spreading, and then say 'Sure, I'll stop it. It's already gone from my site.'
Though on your head be it. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
