Thread: Garvin, any word at all on us getting a new weapon?

To continue on with the Speculation on new weapons, I'd love to see folks list all the new weapons they'd love to see add to Commandos...Like I said, we are currently scheduled for at least one new weapon and could possibly get more...So I'm open to suggestions for what to push for...Feel free to do a search on the forums for .tre files to maybe see what new weapon graphics have been added to the game over the last several publishes...maybe we can get one of those weapons or maybe those weapons will inspire ideas for new weapons you'd like to see...
Focus on things you feel we currently lack for the most part...
This is what I wouldlove to see. Mind you that I'm not thinking or caring about balance or anything like that. JUST what I want. heh:
- A speed and higher accuracy based assault rifle that does some type of damage that our current heavy weapons don't dish out (discussed a zillion trillion gabillion times in these forums)
- A REAL fix for our Heavy Acid Rifle.
- A REAL rifle for us. Not a heavy weapon mind you but a long range sniper type rifle. Rifleleers still get the best specials and accuracy but we should be entitled to some skills in this area. Be somewhat proficient at long ranged combat but not as good as riflemen.
- Ground assault vehicles/tanks. This to be used for heavily fortified bases and base take downs. Something like Ryubishi wants but for all of us. hehe
- Heavy Explosive ordinances. Have the ability to set timed bombs in front of turrets and watch them blow sky high.
- Call in Air Strikes....
Well, I'm getting carried away here. The first 4...well, 3 are more doable suggestions.

All I can say is tha if the underslung carbine isn't a commando weapon I'm gonna be rather upset.
On another note, things I'd like to see (but acknowledge I probably never will see):
- Heavy Repeater
- Concussion Rifle
- Rail Launcher
- Dark Trooper Gun (or equivalent that's named something different for continuity sake)
- Bryar Pistol (I'd rather have a small sidearm that shoots normal projectiles thank you very much)
- Fusion Cutter (for some close range damage and multi-purpose functions on certain quests/missions)
- DC-15/DC-17 Assault Rifles
- Endor Commando Carbine
- Proton Missile Launcher
- Landmines
- A real flamethrower (that operates by shooting a continuous stream of fire, not long delay high damage bursts.)
