Aram Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 The quintessential question: Will we be able to reload our own ammunition?
Aram Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 Also, the handgun Haircut McSneakers is wielding on that front cover appears to be a Desert Eagle. ...and he's a CIA operative. I am not pleased.
mkreku Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Only Aram would notice that.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Tale Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Also, the handgun Haircut McSneakers is wielding on that front cover appears to be a Desert Eagle....and he's a CIA operative. I imagine he stole it off someone else's corpse. Hello, RPG. The two main activities are killing and looting. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Sand Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I want a P90 or a Pancor Jackhammer Shotgun.

BoxerSC Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I hope the game will have a 1911. Just out of curiousity, what would a CIA operative use?
Sand Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I hope the game will have a 1911. Just out of curiousity, what would a CIA operative use? Well, the SIG-Sauer P228 is used in several Federal law enforcement agencies such as BATF, DEA, FBI, and the IRS. I don't don't know if the CIA uses it. The P226 is also used by the FBI and the US Coast Guard.

Shryke Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 how about a gun that shoots genetically enhanced, radioactive, flying termites that eat there way into the badguys and leave wounds that look remarkably similar to gunshots or, you know... you could just have regular guns and be boring... when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Turok 2 had that. really?! they stole my idea! when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Tale Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Actually, Half-Life had that too. But the one in Turok 2 was cooler. It bored its way into skulls and then made them explode. Edited March 14, 2008 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Shryke Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 aw man, that's no fair they must have copied my brainwaves while i was sleeping or something i should be getting paid for this dammit! when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Aram Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 I hope the game will have a 1911. Just out of curiousity, what would a CIA operative use? Well most CIA agents will never wield anything more deadly than a rubber band during those deadly Langley office wars. If the few agents who actually go out and do stuff in the field are even issued a standardized weapon, I've never heard of it. I imagine what they're issued is dependent entirely on the mission and the geography. If they're in Afghanistan undercover, they'll get an AK47. If the mission calls for it, they'll be issued a rifle or a suppressed pistol. I can't think of a single situation in which a CIA operative would be issued or would request a Desert Eagle, even if he's doing extreme soapshoe moves over darkened brick walls.

Why would you presume he issued or requested it? Nothing about the image implies he's on official duty. I do agree with your unstated point that it's probably there just to look extreme, however.

Aram Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 Regardless of how he got it, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO HAVE A DESERT EAGLE. The thing weighs four and a half pounds and is loud enough to tell the whole world where he is. Even if the bad guys are using Desert Eagles and they're all eccentric big game hunters, it's going to be silly.
Aram Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 Plus he is completely disregarding proper trigger discipline! Look at his finger! He's jumping over a wall extreme style with his finger locked around a very light trigger. Even if CIA operatives aren't issued weapons, they're taught not to do that. That's a negligent discharge waiting to happen.
Shryke Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 maybe he's about to fire at some dastardly evildoer we can't see in the upper left area somewhere when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Tale Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 That's a negligent discharge waiting to happen. He's just that extreme. He probably runs with scissors, too. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Shryke Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 and stab dastardly evildoers! aw man, you guys should definitely include scissors as a weapon! when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Hurlshort Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 and stab dastardly evildoers! aw man, you guys should definitely include scissors as a weapon! And rocks, and paper too. Critical paper cut for teh win.
mkreku Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I'm not so fond of the Desert Eagle myself, but I really hope they're going for an extensive weapons library in this game. It's so much fun to find (and use) different weapons throughout a game, even if they're not remarkably different. Just the idea of being able to choose your own favourite is so appealing to me. Oh, and I love this weird Russian sniper rifle that you can find in various games. Forgot the name but it's big, loud and deadly. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
