Actually I am a tad bit disappointed, because it seems to be only artwork at the moment I really hoped they had been farther along at this point. I cannot help but get the fealing that the CU is really far off. The weapons listed had no details on damage type ideal range, or even certifications.
Looking at this It occured to me that those weapons seemed to be oh how should I put this the new marksman guns, and the melee seems to also be somewhat limited makeing me wonder if most of those were not brawler weapons. So based on my impressions I am thinking they are replaceing most of the weapons in those two professions with these which is cool. The power five striker and dl44 are glorified junk. Anyone else think the flare gun may be the replacement to the fwg5?
I hope next week we get a bigger list, and hopefully an idea of what professions these weapons will fall into.

Anyone else think the flare pistol looks likea PPK with a Coke can glued on the front? And the needle and flechette look like Steyr weapons , and the proton carbine looks like aH&K G36.

I strongly suspect that they are much further along with development, but they're reluctant to post too many hard details because things might change from testers feedback. These weapon pictures were meant to be last week's Friday Feature, but couldn't be released because they didn't have Lucasarts' approval in time, so thast kind of red tape is probably holding up the information releases too.

No ana I think you're wrong, as usual your "grim and dire" viewpoint to any informational post has to be strewn about the forums. I think that you simply need to lower your expectations on all fronts regarding this game, lest you with with further dissapointment.
There is now way that they would release the hard info involved with these weapons! Did they with the armor? No. The numbers aren't solidified yet, so how could they give you the stats for these weapons too. You should simply be satisfied that they gave us pictures to look at. Info is fed through a coffee stirrer from these people, I would hope that you knew that.
These weapons are most assuredly be given to elite professions. Some may be certed in basic profs, but I suspect the majority will be prof specific. Do you honestly beleive that they will put out3 or 4 *new* pistols for a basic profession? Are you expecting there to be hundreds of new weapons? If they givemarksman3 new weapons of each type, and then give the elites only 1 or 2...how much complaining are yougoing to do then? By your thinking, I'm sure that you want there to be 3 new marksman weapons of each type then 10 new ones for each of the elites....simply not going to happen.
We know there are more then these, if you go by the info that was extracted from .tre files a few months ago, but I doubt that there are so much that all of these could be placed in basic professions.

When did they say they were replacing anything? the FWG5, DL 44, etc. are all just fine!It's the profession that uses them that's got the problem. And from how you talk it sounds like you don't think that they would rebalance their older weapons. That's like thinking 90% composite will stay 90% composite. And to think those are basic weapons? the proton weapons may well be commando certed, the acid sword is in the same ID style as the DE-10 and the Executioner's Hack, but you think they'd let some punk w/ 1h3 use it? Pffft .
