Are the silencers that come with the Psycho Preorder Pack just skins for normal silencers, or are they actually better, or different, than the other ones you can unlock?

Probably just a skin so it won't disrupt the balance of the game.

yea they wont give any advantage, that would mess up the balance SD is striving for

GOOD. Cuz i preordered SpecOps. I wouldve gotten the Psycho but the revolver is ugly to me. I only like Long-Barrel Revolvers, not Scrub-Nose.

Are you sure that they're exclusives? I though that only the weapons and aesthetic customization options were exclusive and the attachments were just early unlocks. That's just what I've heard so far.

they could be shorter and less effective than the normal suppressors but still effective enough to keep people from seeing you on the radar.

basically the attachments r early unlocks and different, exclusive skins. The Greeneye scope has a doppelganger in a different skin, as do the soda can and arktactical silencers.

Splash has said they will not release pre-order bonuses later as DLC, implying that they aren't available in-game either.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:53 am

This is why I don't like exclusive bonuses in games. Sometimes the coolest or most effective stuff requires you to buy from you mortal enemy (Gamestop) or drink a lot of Dr. Pepper (not exactly a horrible thing, but it's still a shameless ploy for extra business).

Long-Barrel Revolver: "my [censored] is bigger than yours!!"

Snub-Nose Weirdo: "yeah..."

P.S.
Idk if the word i put as censored would get censored, so i censored it myself by writing [censored] lol.

Lot of companies say this and then later release it. As previously mentioned the only real benefit to them is the early unlock, unless you're crazy about a certain skin / outfit. So most likely not worth downloading once you unlock the ingame guns / attachments. We will have to wait and see.

The revolver alone looks crap yeah, but that soda can really makes the diffrence

Haha I like how they are making the gun skins and sounds different for resistance and security. Nice to give the different sides their own feel. Also glad they only made the resistances guns look poorly maintained and didnt make them jam all the damn time

I was under the impression that the silencer and green eye scope were early unlocked in-game items. Makes sense, considering you're paying for that content. Also, someone mentioned the possibilty of the guns having weaker stats? Doubtful. Don't think they'll be stronger, per se, but probably have different stats to give them a different situational advantage over other pistol class weapons.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:38 pm

I doubt that it will be better than any of the other silencer... How can a sodacan be better? lol

you are right that it does not say that it is a skin - so maybe it is better it has diffrent stats...

- and I went for psycho pack because of the awesome helm and the silencer look

or its implying the exact opposite.

If pre order bonuses wer just early unlocks for things you can get in the game anyway, then you wouldn't need to sell it as DLC because its already in the game.

They clearly state that iteams are unique - so no

SD has said that the starting weapons are some of the best, most balanced guns. The highest unlocks are some of the most situational. If the pre-order weapons follow this pattern, then they are probably weaker than the other pistols except for the situations they are intended for. Any player who frequently uses shotguns or other situational weapons can tell you that getting caught out of your element is a really bad position to be in.

A simple water bottle is an excellent suppressor. With a few water bottles and a pringles can I can make a near perfect one. We really have no idea whats in the soda can, and it could be something that works really well.

Except every item in the game should be unique or there would be no reason to have it in there taking up space.

awesome - but what with a sodacan, will that match a modern silencer?

You would be surprised, but I guess I wouldn't really know, never met anyone willing to drop a grand on the top of the line ones, along with the really expensive license to use it. The biggest noise when you start useing effective suppressors is no longer the gunshot, but the noise of the bullet moving through the air and hitting the target.

awesome, I guess the soda can silencer might not need diffrent stats in order to be plausible
