Why can't anyone come with an idea for a weapon that doesn't SOMEHOW relate to Call of Duty? We need to broaden our horizons beyond, "Oh mah gawd can we haz acr, deagle, and bairett!?!?!?!"

We need some new ideas for guns. The Fallout universe diverged, if that's a reminder to any of you. They should have DIFFERENT guns and designs. No more "What guns do you want in New Vegas?" Because it's more like asking, "What guns from Call of Duty do you want to see?"

How about this: What NEW ideas for weapons would you want to see in Fallout: New Vegas?

I want an energy weapon that SHOOTS DEAGLES!

A thread against people wanting Call of Duty weapons how original :rolleyes:

Oh People can't like guns from COD? I personally like the FA-MAS (a gun in COD and in the first MGS) but its not appearing. It's just the fact people like these guns and are exposed to those more than more obscure stuff. They are already adding the original weapons in the game anyway. I didn't even know what an American-180 sub-machine gun was until i saw the preview and some links. Don't get your panties in a bunch over peoples opinions of what they want.

Sooo...we can't haz our light sabers and browning .50 cals? Awwwwww.



If it has to be real world weapons, I like them to be pretty low key. Like the double barrel and lever action rifle from Point Lookout.

As far as futuristic weapons go....I can't even fathom something original. However, even if it is unoriginal, I liked the Ripper from the original Unreal Tournament...although the Rail Gun is prolly a very close substitute and fits the bill. Although the annoying train sounds it made I could do without.

Although I would like to see a return of the rail gun with the ability to actually pin people to objects. I really thought you could do that in FO3, and after much experimentation and dead NPC's I was dissapointed.

Why don't you come up with some new weapon ideas? You have a problem, make a solution. Don't ask other people to find a solution for you without even giving input other than "there's a problem, fix it."

I don't really have a problem with the gun ideas, myself.

Couldn't you? I thought you could, or maybe that was just walls.

I understand the rant, as I'd like less of the unoriginal ideas floating around. I feel Fallout needs more ramshackle weapons, like the Hunting Rifle, guns that don't really bear a resemblance to any guns that are modern now. I love the feel of using a crappy gun stuck together with duck tape and recklessly repaired.

IIRC the original development build of Fallout 1, once had a bug that shot running dogs out of the rocket launcher. :rofl:

okej wtf man.

1. this isent a fantasy like oblivion where you can use spells and stuff for new items.
2. they are not taking them from COD. you should be mad at them for taking the weapons from other games and the REAL WORLD that you may not even heard of.
3. STOP COMPLAINING!
4. whats wrong whit the Barret? its like the most awesomest sniper ever! all games need it.

Ohoh and one more thing . Call of duty may have taken things from fallout^^ because fallout had Ak47 like in the 90's^^

Haha, awesome. That should be a trait.

Hmmm maybe some type of "black hole death ray gun" that makes enemies implode. svcks their entire body into a ball and then it bursts into nice cloud of red misty blood. And if they are wearing power armor it turns them into a crumpled up piece of aluminum foil tin can looking thing that squirts blood for a good minute. Not a 100% original idea it was my favorite spell from Blood Omen Legacy of Kain(the first and the best in the series!) but i haven't seen this done in any game since.

I'm secretly hoping for some COD weapons, but its no big deal if none are in NV. I'd be much more stoked about being able to blow a hole in somebodies chest or seeing that Auto Shotgun jitterbug dance of death that other dude keeps talking about on these forums. After all it's not about the weapon I'm using, Its about what it does to that NPC that pissed me off! :gun:

I want a pistol that shoots out small shanties (small houses).

Will we be able to sleep/live in these?

I never got it to work,.


Same here.

My first question is, why does everyone seem to think that wanting real life weapons in the game means wanting it to be like Call of Duty. After all, none of the weapons which have appeared in Call of Duty games have been original creations of the developers, they're all real life weapons, and most of them have appeared in lots of games besides Call of Duty, in fact, Fallout 1 and 2 had some real life weapons. You hear that? There's already precedence for real life weapons in Fallout.

That aside, it's not like we can't have both original (original here meaning that the weapon design is one created by the developers, not one that exists in real life, it doesn't necessarily actually have to be extremely creative to qualify.) and real life guns in the same game, we can, it's been done before. No one is saying we shouldn't have original weapons in the game, just that some want to see specific real life weapons, and I don't see you suggesting any weapon ideas, while I don't usually like the "If you don't like it, then let's see you do better" defense, because it seems to assume that people only have a right to not like something if they can do better, in this case, it might be more constructive if you actually gave us a better idea of what kind of weapons YOU would like to see instead of just complaining about others' suggestions. And in any case, coming up with original ideas for weapons is really not that easy, and unless it actually does something particularly unusual, it might come off as just being a slightly different version of a weapon that already exists in the game, so it seems quite understandable to me that a lot of people would just put down whatever real weapons they like then try to think of something creative.

There not COD weapons there real life weapons that COD took so its not really a big deal

A derringer would be a nice concealable weapon for casino's, a mountable/mounted M1919 would be good for defensive positions, a hammer (as in "hammer and nails"), broken bottle, brick (now available in melee and ranged variaties*), or other improvised weapons would be good in a pinch. But anyone can use wood and steel, real power comes from flesh. So the ability to convince others to kill, or die, is truest the form of power. Experimental mind control device, with options to make them your own slave, would be nice. For non-lethal, a sleeping dart gun, either pistol or rifle, would do the truck, but chloroform would be the bee's knees.

? well do you think a small house flying at the speed of a bullet is going to stay in one piece after it hits something? i expect much debree to go flying across the wastelands in my wake with this pistol, thou i think it would be a very bad idea to fire it indoors.

Oh no! God forbid someone suggests a gun from a familiar medium!
What's that Timmy? Certain games are the only knowledge of firearms you have? You MUST be a communist. We're gonna have to kill you now.
Let that be a lesson folks, if you use a popular medium to come up with ideas, you are a traitor to your country!

Okay, silliness aside, look at the point. Not everyone has an intimate knowledge of weaponry, so they suggest what they know and like. Right now, COD is one of the most popular games. (My opinions on it non-withstanding.). Look, I love original weapons as much as the next guy, but you can't just expect it. Sure, seeing people suggest the Barret or the Desrt Eagle (God, that nick name makes me sad) svcks, but you think the majority of people have heard of things like Sharps, Peacemakers, Calicos, etc..? Not really.

Think about that before you go on a (poorly written) rage-fest.

New Vegas really needs a machine gun which fires nukes. That would make the game better.

That's why Fallout 3 has an unused dog-bullet sat in the esm.

I'm more against people who want LOLOLLLOLLO TACTIC00L WAPOONS DERLURPADERP.

I'm pretty sure that although modern, a lot of weapons are still based on original designs, with some modifications. So no reason to complain what weapons appear in New Vegas. Plus there are still a lot of weapons in NV that don't appear in other games.

it's because nobody knows about guns other than call of duty, they play COD then think they're a weapon expert

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Desert_Eagle_.44 in ur Fallout, trolling your Anranex.

Truth is that every Fallout game has had modern guns. Only Fo3 bothered to call them something different.
