Choosing Weapons!

[Uday23]

first of all i want to throw this out:

for all that dont know the locusts are sacavangers when it comes to weapons, they will use anything they find, i read this a couple of times in EPIC interviews, that is why u see drones with lancers and stuff in some of the videos(older ones)

my questions is this:

since u have 4 weapon slots 1 pistol, 2 grenades, 3 large weapon, 4 large weapon, and u can only switch the large weapon (u will always have nades and a pistol), like the lancer, shotgun, sniper, boomshot....

(ex.)i was wondering what happens when u pick/switch lets say ur shotgun with a sniper in level 2, do u start with the 2 basic weapons in level 3(shotgun and lancer) or do u get to keep the weapons u used in the previous level, if u do then would u ever see a shotgun again, i mean if chose the sniper over the shotgun, will the shotgun ever show up again, maybe in some locust's hands, b/c they will use anything, or will u get to choose from u inventory like PDZ(hope not...), or maybe every once and a while u meet up with HQ, anya, jack, or other squads and they give u a choice of what weapons to take

does anyone get what im saying?

what do u guys thing?

edit:

do u guys think that GoW should let u take ur squads guns, like in Halo, switch ur weapon with theres, i would like that option

ALOT OF QUESTIONS MAKING BRAIN HURT! lol:D, i don't think anybody knows but most likely you will keep the gun from the previous level.

then will u ever see the gun u lost ever again?:eek: maybe in almost all the level the locusts and COGs have the basic guns like the lancer, shotgun, hammerbusrt, and lots of them are just laying around for u to pick up, so i would be ok to drop the shotgun for a level or two and then find another later, but the boomshot, sniper and torquebow...would be rare finds.........

I dont know what weapons you will start woth, but i think you will have a stock set to begin every level with. Also, i can almost guarentee that you will be able to pick up weapons on the ground and such. Since E-day was so massive, soldiers bodis and weapons will probaly be scattered around Sera.

Example. In the X05 night demo, after you bust open the door, there are mutilated bodies. I would guess that those bodies were of soldiers and they have some ammo left behind. Most likely weapons that will be of use in the upcoming part of the level.

This is what i think, hope it helps

well i guess choosing from the inventory of weapons before every level would be ok, i just dont like it that much, but i hope ur right about the weapons all over the place, it should be like shotguns, lancers, pistols, hammerbursts......are all over the place and easy to find, but grenades, boomshots, snipers are rare and the game will tell u when u can get them, like maybe jack delivers a sniper to you, or maybe gus tosses u a boomshot in the middle of a battle so u can take out a tower.......

didnt mean having an inventory, i meant you get a stock set such as the lancer, shotgun, pistol, and grenades. Similar to most shooters like Halo. How you start with a pistol and rifle

o, i get it, yeah that could work, maybe u start with the "basic" weapon set ever level, but then it would suck to have a sniper and then loose it, i say u should be able to keep the weapons from the previous level and then if u want to get ur shotgun or lancer back just find one on the ground or something

that reminds me, do u guys think that GoW should let u take ur squads guns, like in Halo, switch ur weapon with theres, i would like that option

maybe its like king kong, where wen you use the point of interest on your buddy next to you you can call his name and he will give you his weapon, that would be cool

Hey.
im sure this has been posted somewhere, so can someone give me a link or the thread, but i was wondering...
Is there a description of the guns anywhere, i know some of the guns, but i need a description of some such as the Boomshot and torqbow. I know the obvious guns such as sniper and shotgun, but im not familiar with all so i was wondering if anyone had a place where all the guns that ar known are listed, along with a description. :D

Thx

here u go

torquebow= crossbow that shoots explosive arrows that stick into things and can be remotely detonated

Boomshot= shoots an explosive bomb that bursts into a bunch of smaller very destructive bomblets
:)

btw welcome to the forum, if u have any questions feel free to ask me

[Jarmen]

Wow thx Uday,
thats exactly what i was looking for.

any time:) :)

Hey Uday,
This should probably be in the Multiplayer forum, but...
I think i read somewhere in the forums people saying that limbs can be shot off your enemies in Single player, i was wondering for example... If you shoot someone in the head with a sniper or shotgun, will their head fly off, and also if u know, will this apply to multiplayer.

well anything that applies to SP will be in MP for sure, but i have heard about and seen limbs being shot off, im not sure about the head thing, but every once in a while arms, legs, and other stuff will probably go flying:)

i hope it'll be like halo2 that when your playing the gamestaright through without turning it off you'll have the same guns you did on the previous level. That was cool :)

yeah but most ppl are going to turn off there console and play a lil bit everyday....

[seph]

I am thinking that it depends on the scenario. Level 1 may be a continuation of level 2, so therefore they start with the same weapons they used in level 1. And when the scenario ends you start up with new weapons that fits the enviroment you are playing in on the next level.

that could work, good thinking, and after starting a new level/senario with whatever weapons u still have the choice to switch them any time....

I think that is how it will probably work. I hope that the game has guns littered throughout, mostly shotties, lancers, and hammerbursts, because the games that have very few guns throughout the map suck. Also, i hope that there is alot of ammo around.

thats almost exactly what i said earlier, see macheteman, great minds or crazy gearheads do think alike:D

[Zoso Fan]

Just a example. The X05 demo showed off the rifle as well and i think he had a shotty too... cant remember

[RIGOR_MORTIS]

More importantly, will the game have "Real-Time weapon change"? LOL

does that mean that marcus actually pulls the gun off his back to switch, if so then YES!!! watch the gameplay videos again!:)

[Zoso Fan]

Ya, i love that. Just another feature that adds to teh overal next-gen feel

yeah i am pretty sure he did, but what are u getting at?

yeah i hate games where you can carry like 20 weapons and when you change the other one just takes its place example (gta).

[elite94]

yeah you guyz are right, thats wat could happen, like since the games has chapters in the levels, you have the same gun that you had before through all the chapters then you get new ones next level of chapters, or maybe it could be like this:

I guess you didn't watch the PS3 showing at e3?

The guy playing a game says, this game has many next generation features like, "Real time weapon change" and then it shows the weapon change in the characters hand. Everybody began laughing. Kinda goes with the whole CRAB thing.

Anyways, the game Actually does show cool animations of weapons switching. Watch the vids!

i just said that, i think we are both :confused:

[Ghost4-6]

real time weapon changing... YAY

[Mike.B]

I just read that when u push the b button to use the chainsaw, u can actually speed up the RPM by using the right trigger... thats gonna be awesome..

[under_the_fridge]

cool where did you find that

[.Endless]

I remember seeing it in the Interview with Cliffy, where he got out his chainsaw, and was revving it up using the right trigger. Pretty hawt stuff :P

[MonkeyKnuckle]

It doesn't do any more damage or anything though. Just sounds cool.:D

[Ghost of Onyx]

I think you'll take them, but I don't think the weapons the Locust have will be affected by what weapons you choose.

[Mike.B]

From what CliffyB said, u have to shoot a Dron twice in the head if u want to kill it with a headshot, first shooting off the helmet then the finishing shot in the head, with the Sniper rifle..

[pWnyoUNOw]

i just thought of a good way to get weapons at the beginning of each level. just like sargeant randall on Hill 400 of Call fo Duty 2 marcus or anyone could yell gather weapons and ammo and voila. theres your inventory.

[Ghost4-6]

yea that would be nice, but that only works if your defending, it doesn't make alor of sense totake the time for inventory if ur gona move out

[thephantom13]

I haven't read all the posts in this thread, but I get what you were asking in the initial post. I kinda liked how GRAW handled weapons and when you were able to switch when you met up with a mobile HQ. Thats just my opinion but I felt that system worked well and it lent to realism a little bit more.

[Mike.B]

Im just a bit sad theat Epic didnt keep the original sound for the shotgun, cuz that was really awesome from the zerohour trailer now it just sounds lame to me

[Lordgrunty]

i think you may be on to somthing with jack giving you more ammo or somthing related to him(it).

[Hornet]

i hope it'll be like halo2 that when your playing the gamestaright through without turning it off you'll have the same guns you did on the previous level. That was cool :)

Umm that wasnt really the case. Yes, that happens from level 1 to 2, but not 2 to 3. From level 3 to 4, but not from level 4 to 5, since ur switching between MC and Arbiter, and only keep em for two levels.
