What, no head or face protection!? They might get an eye poked out, geez...

At least there is fashionable purple hair, if it works in Fortnite there is no reason it shouldn't work here.

I believe they already said that head gear will be on option.

It can be put on in "appearance" options

Are these new images? Not sure, so if not...ignore












Double "spinal" ridges along the top of the warrior head, huh?

How innovative...

Looks a bit lame.

I've still not come around to this one.  :-\

I really hope they have some better guns in the pipeline for this game, because the three we've been shown so far in these posts aren't at all grounded and have lost the aesthetic of the movies.

"L" is a British designation. If the Colonial Marines are a US organization, the L for the L56A3 would be dropped for a different designation. The US has adopted British designs before, and they all were given different names. The whole "metamaterials" thing is bullshit and not even the correct use for the term. Making things lighter doesn't make them better or more effective, and there's only so light you can go before the gun isn't functional. It's a lazy attempt to sound technical and futuristic.

What exactly does the Volcan's post mean by "an arm?" An actual human arm, or something similar to the smartgun's Steadicam arm? The vagueness is pointless here. If this thing is supposed to be tied to your arm, it won't be as effective as the M240. Why? In order to have adequate fuel and range, the Volcan would have to be large and heavy--too heavy for the human arm to handle. It's impractical, and inferior to the M240 and most flamethrowers used today. It would make more sense if "an arm" means a Steadicam arm.

The Type 78 is bullshit, lazily designed, and should go back to Halo. All handguns are technically bullpup, so this just shows no research was done. It doesn't even look like it can be properly held.

I still have hope for this game, but I don't understand why the developers didn't stick with the film's aesthetic, or do some research on how guns actually function. "Make things 'cooler'" is a sad trap that FPS games need to pull themselves out of, otherwise all we have are Halo/Star Wars/Mass Effect clones.

2 points I want to query.

From what I can tell, bullpup configuration has the magazine behind the action, whereas most pistols have the magazine in the handle. I'm not knowledgeable of guns, being a Brit, but I can see the difference between their configuration and a standard pistol.

Also, as for the M56/L56 thing, since Weyland is an English company, maybe they've retroactively taken on the terminology, going from M56 to L56 for their non-military variant sold outside the US. It's a possible theory.


Other than that, I totally agree. The whole project stinks of laziness, and the weapons look like Nerf guns.

I'm a little confused as to why you'd promote the gun by saying it's usage is divisive and you may very well hate it. Sure that's just lore but saying "the gun potentially sucks why would you even use it" is an odd tactic to promote your game.

Never heard TheSailingRabbit angry.

But it's more Mass Effect than Halo honestly, the former's got the thing that defines the setting as an excuse for anything to do with technology, and the latter's much more credible than you give it credit for.

I don't really care about minutiae, especially the military kind, but something's indeed definitely lost from the aesthetic.
