    probaly, taser doesn't seem that useful, but a plasmacutter would be. I mean, have you played Dead Space? those things are BA

    lol i remember the horrible feedback they got from the taser concept... it sounded interesting but the pistol is too clutch to be replaced.

    I'd love it if I could upgrade my pistol to a taser, personally.

    Not to get into the whole taser thing again, but it's a bad idea because (especially alien) gameplay is so movement-oriented. If things stand still they die quickly because it's a fast-paced game. If you could stun something, even for a second or two, it would be as good as a death sentence. Just kind of undermines the whole gameplay pace.

    edit: Before you say anything about Onos stun, I know, but Onoses get a stun because they're meant to be overpowered. That's kind of their niche.

    I'd love it if I could upgrade my hatchet to a pillow.

    That is, if your pillow was coated in contact nerve-toxin.

    Everybody, both in the earlier debate, and now it seems, seemed to think that "Hurr hurr.. all a taser is gonna do is stun an alien.." which is part of why they came out against. It seemed very few people had enough imagination to consider a single, electrical based weapon that packed enough power to kill, could be used either as a distance or melee weapon, as well as used as a type of shield.

    Personally, I think we lost out quite a bit when the fanboys bellowed their ignorance.

    The first thing people think of when they see the word "taser" is ... a taser. Regardless of any imaginary definition of the word that you care to make up.

    btw it was a joke, chill out son.

    At the risk of causing more taser-arguing, I still think the taser could have been a good idea. It's something that would have been pretty unique to the game and there are a lot of interesting possibilities for it's effects. But instead we get the boring old pistol + melee combination that's been standard for about as long as FPS games have existed. At least it's not a knife, right? :p

    I dunno why we're all talking about the boring old taser when that board clearly reveals an outdoor beach map, which is a first for NS.

    Must be one hell of a boring map considering there's no Kharaa there.

    I was looking those posters as well and I just wanted to add that easter eggs and funny real life references are awesome in a game, they somehow add to the polished feel.

    Yeah I was going to make a post about the plasma cutter, pretty funny.

    Edit: As nobody seems to have pointed it out yet:

    'Slightly used'.

    Yeah, the plasma cutter is an easter egg from the plasma cutter weapon from Dead Space.

    Or for your more 3-dimensional needs, a nerf mod one:
