<div class="IPBDescription">Whats it look like?</div>Whats the NS shell look like? Does it capture the feel of NS properly? Does it look cool? Is there a shell at all or will it be a last minute implementation?

    The shell's done I think, but I bet we have to wait until its released until we get to see it.

    Carefull,  don't ask too many weapons questions else they will bash your skull in and tatoo "NS is not a weapons mod" across your chest with a butter knife.  Logically it would have no shells at all because it is clear in the near future caseless amunition will take over.  Then again NS hates logic.

    actually longtooth phoenix was referring to the graphic background when you see when your clicking throught the menus and when your loading the game,

    and i guess we have to wait until we get it b4 we see it

    Well, in one of the changelogs it says that Cory has finnished the shell and console drop down, so I'm assuming it's safe.

    Did I once ask to see it? I also said "The Shell" not shells, but I see how you could get confused.

    Well thats nice to know that its done and implemented. Yeah I too wanna be surprised by it if it really is good.

    The shell is complete and its very perdy.

    Has great sounds too.

    And yes, there is a console image as well.

    And no, as far as I know, you wont see them before release ...

    As far as I know (though I'm sure he'll be happy to correct me), Fam created a placeholder shell, which looked, as usual for Fams work, <i>quite nice</i>.

    Cory did the finalized one, though.

    It would be an understatement to say so.

    Only because cory has mouse and Pencil Hax!

    As for the sound..it will suck that I can't hear them, because of that Half life Bug that makes you not hear menu sounds unless you enter a game then go to the first menu. =(

    Possibly. But the <a href="http://world.guns.ru/assault/as42-e.htm" target="_blank">Heckler & Koch G11</a> is supposedly the first assault rifle to use caseless ammunition, but it was scrapped. I think it's because the thing was really light and had a slow Full-auto ROF.... even though it's three-round burst was somewhere around <b>3000 rounds per second</b>. Dunno why Germany scrapped it. Looked like a good gun.

    I'm not sure. According to Halo's portrayal, the ammo won't be caseless. It depends on what army it is, funds, stuff like that. Availability...

    Oh yeah, er, the shell. I want to see it too....

    The shell?

    Think of pure excstacy stemming from a certain biological action combined with chocolate and a free million dollars, and you'll have what you'll feel the first time you see it.
