[QUOTE="Brownesque"][QUOTE="bobderwood97_1"]When it comes to crazy guns, I don't think KZ is going to beat Halo. Covenant weapons are just ridiculous... The only series that I can think of off the top of my head that would beat Halo in the crazy weapons department would be something like the ratchet and clank series.tutt3r
Or Resistance? Honestly, I've scarcely seen a more derivative bunch of firearms than the Halo arsenal. Okay, we've got a submachine gun. Wahwa wee wah. Then a sniper rifle. Good lord we're really outside the pale at this point. And we've got a carbine, a laser rifle, a pulse assault rifle, and a plasma pistol....good lord get me some water I'm about to faint. The caliber of creativity here is mindboggling. Laser guns? Nobody's ever done that before. Virtually half the Covenant arsenal is just a laser equivalent of the space marine weapons,which are just standard weapon archetypes like pistol, assault rifle, etc. The contention that any of this stuff is even creative, let alone spectacularly or remarkably so is a groundless one, I'm afraid.lol you do realize that pretty much every gun and their secondary fire in resistance has shown up in earlier video games right?
You do realize this can be said about Halo and Killzone as well, right? How many science fiction games have plasma rifles? Now, how many have one that shoots through walls? Red Faction, Perfect Dark, and Resistance. When it comes to interesting weapons, again, Halo/Killzone falls short.
Perfect Dark, Resistance, and especially Unreal are titles that have some sort of original weapons among them. In fact, out of all the first person shooters I can think of from Duke Nukem, Quake, Doom, and forgotten titles like Shadow Warrior rank far and beyond the likes of Halo/Killzone with original weapons.
