    Yeah, they are deliberately adding a gun which everyone will want to use for all of the mod's history so that people wont use the other guns that they worked on for months.  Just like FA did.

    Actually, some guns and attacks will be mightyly powerful, but you will always have to give up a chucnk of resources or/and time to get them, so balance is sustained.

    will there be alot of recoil with any of the guns? like in dod they made the guns kinda bounce all over the place and make it hard as heck to shoot half way straight(i hate it&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Im not sure, I don't think they will.  NS isn't really about weapon realism.  About the only think you'll notice with the lmg and hmg are the ROF, clip size and accuracy.

    Its more like 'Hey, thats a biiiiig gun .. lets go kill stuff' more then 'Hmm, I wonder, does this weapon feature anti-recoil burst system' er .... something like that ..

    Look, Im not a weapons buff ...

    no recoil, but some weapons have a large spread (IE: Shotgun (which is huge), and HMG)

    NOTE: Humbada is a shotgun fanatic.  I've stopped asking him what gun he wants, I just drop a shottie for him now.

    hmmm shotgun.. i like the idea of that:D oh yeah and the turrets can we control them? i hope we dont because the aliens could just come behind us and kill us EASY?!? I have a another idea for a good gun.. maybe a m60?!?!

    The turrets are aren't controlable. The dev team also doesn't like the idea of controlable turrets. So it seems unlikely that we'll ever have to control the turrets.

    What on God's Earth is an M60? Sounds like a Motorway.

    an M60 is a big machine gun, that's being replaced in the army even now, much less in the future.

    This is a bad idea!

    well it was just a idea..e you know it would be fun blasting them aliens with a m60 tho <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Why is using an outdated gun more fun than using a futuristic gun that does exactly the same thing? Or is it my fault for not being a fan of firearms and guns.

    People who like guns confuse me, they seem to put perfectly modelled weapons and stats above playability and fun. If I wanted realism I would go outside and eat a plant.

    Well, since the M60 is a big (and likely heavey) machine gun, by NS's gun naming system, it would be a Heavy Machine Gun.  And since we already have a heavy machine gun, we can't have a second, sorry.  NS isn't about realistic guns; the names describe what they are: pistol, light machine gun, grenade launcher, etc.

    Well i dunno i think it would have been cool if the weapons u used would be futuristic models of actual weapons. I know it's late and irrelavent at this time but had to speak my mind.

    I was thinking about something...now in real life when the only thing a soldier ever fights is humans a knife seems ok...but I think if I was fighting aliens I would want something with a little more pizaz perhaps a sword...or maybe an axe...anyone else see where I am coming from?

    Sure, I'll just stick my sword in my back pocket <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> I know a knie is wimpy, but if you get down to a knie, you deserve to die! Trust me though, if you cacth a gestating alien, knifing them can be fun <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Anyays, I would explain more, but a marine would not carry around a sword or axe, they would carry a knife.

    other melee weapons have been suggested.  But this is really a weapon of last resort.  First off, you need to be able to draw it quickly, secondly, a knife has more uses than larger wepons of the same type.  The knife is just there in absolute worst cases, or in cases where you don't want to waste ammo.  ex. destroying chambers.

    i would love to run around with a axe in my hand killing some aliens... there would be so much blood flying every where and other aliens will be like WTF IS HE DOING?!? sorry bout that i got a but carried away???

    I don't think Marines should be able to just up and stab alien stuff and destroy it.. that seems a bit.. I dunno.

    I would think that it would be better if destroying alien structures actually took some resources (bullets, grenades, etc).

    But whatever. =/
