Consult the Wiki, it might help you.

The Wiki did not help.  I just want to know where to get a copy of the engine.  That's all.

That sounded like gattling gun fire to me...the really fast shell fire

[FireCrack]

Yeah, to me it sounded like the whir of an electronic motor, possibly feeding ammunition.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Then why does it stop when the explosive weapon hits the Shivan? I've gone over it, and the most reasonable explanation is that it's the big ass gun carried by the girl thats making that sound, and it's that same bigass gun that takes down the shivan.

Whats more, the sound goes like "VRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM-BOOM!-(power down noise). It doesn't sound anything like Gatling fire. More like a vacuum cleaner.

[Jetmech Jr.]

One more thing: At the same instant the big explosion happens, the Girl's gun Kicks back-Like it just shot something. There's even a MUZZLE FLASH at that same instant, whereas there was none before.

[WMCoolmon]

Maybe the weapon spun up the ammunition, so it would drill through targets after launched (a sort of really nasty anti-armor round)

[Jetmech Jr.]

That is NOT what happened.

It's not hard. Watch the scene closely. The Group opens fire (with a very distinct sound, too, different from the charge up sound). The Girl wiht the big gun is NOT firing, instead you can hear her gun charging up. Then, she screams "DIE!", You see one (just one) HUGE muzzle flash from her weapon (it also kicks back in her hands), Then a GIANT explosion the same instant, and then her gun makes a power-down noise.

I just watched it, I'm not imagining it.

[FireCrack]

Oh, ok, i agree that the girl shoots a grenade or AP shell or somthing. For some reason i thaught you were implitng that the weapon was a laser.

[Jetmech Jr.]

I don't think it was a grenade or a AP shell. Why would they need to audibly charge up to fire?

The gun itself looks way too funky to be firing bullets or grenades, as well. Look at the shape of the Barrel, for example.

[FireCrack]

Gauss gun or railgun. Uses a capacitor or compulsator to charge it's rails/coils

[Jetmech Jr.]

There, thats the gun she uses. Whats up with the Long and thin shape of the barrel? What kinda bullet are you seriouly gonna shoot outta that?

[Swamp_Thing]

It really doesn´t matter. Considering how Hallfight is the SOLE source for info on FS troops and weapons, we can´t hardly be expected to match it point for point. I guess we can say we have a bit of creative license to do the way we see best. And a weapon that needs charging is not what anyone would want to see in a FPS. Republic Commando made that mistake with the plasma blood weapon, where you had to start firing 5 seconds before the target comes into play. Not exactlly good for countering an enemy that jumps at you in a corner. Those 5 seconds are enough to get you killed.


@Jetmech:

The gun you see there is the second one i posted. It´s the minigun. You´re just looking at it from a diferent angle.

[Jetmech Jr.]

I don't see why it's hard to accept that the GTVA might have Heavy Energy weapons for Infantry, though.

And I liked the Plasma blood weapon, thank you very much. You just needed to pre-empt you foes a bit.

[WMCoolmon]

Were there any weapons in the FS2 intro?

[FireCrack]

Railgunsconventianaly shoot square bullets, that's not far of, , it's probably a good design as it allows a large area of contact with the rails. No need to have rounded edges though.


Either way, yes it is superficial, jsut the way the weapon doesnt make a very lasery sound leads me to believe against that.

[Jetmech Jr.]

FS2 intro was all space, except for a skeletal remains on the planet. You didn't really see any infantry weapons, especially in use.

[Jetmech Jr.]

The gun you see there is the second one i posted. It´s the minigun. You´re just looking at it from a diferent angle.

I know which gun it is. I also know there's no way it's a minigun.

[Boomer]

You'll think me stupid, but I want to make sure I get this right.

You guys are using Unreal Runtime Demo right?
