Will all weapon types be available from the start. : Othor Games

» Mon Jan 11, 2010 7:06 pm

I know that their will be no overpowering weapon that is unlock-able later in the game but for instance will a shotgun be available from the get go or will everyone just start with assault rifles and work their way to get the weapon they want. I would assume that all weapon types would be available from the start yet will they allow the gatling gun and sniper rifle straight from level 1. I could not find anything on this using the search tool. Thnx in advance!

Well, at first you will only be able to be a medium body type, and you have to unlock heavy and light. That means that Heavy weapons wont be available at least until you have the body type to carry them. As far as shotguns and short rifles are concerned, I'm not sure if they will be available your first game, but I imagine you can unlock at least one of each of them within an hour or two of playing.

wouldn't know why a short rifle or shotgun wouldn't be available, shotgun is a good weapon for a new guy who keeps getting himself right in front of enemies due to not knowing the lay-out. isn't it normal to have at least one of each type available right from the start?

As far as I know there won't be a sniper rifle in the game although you could see it in the cinematics.

The only reason i said short rifles and shotguns might not be available off the bat is because there appears to only be only two of each in the game, and one of the shotguns is a heavy auto-shotty. SO it would be pretty boring if you couldnt unlock a normal shotgun, or theres only one short rifle to unlock. I suppose unlocking weapon upgrades could be just as exciting, but this is just my guess.

In a word, no.
Weapons will be unlocked as you level up

he is asking about "weapon types" not "weapons"

try reading AT LEAST the OP before posting next time

In the Expo-Demo you could chose from only a few weapons. Depending on how good people had played on your machine before, you would have more or less weapons unlocked.

I was using one assaultrifle and the TDI Vector alike SMG, as I were not allowed to take the time to select and modify my weapons after I already wasted enough of their time in the character-editor.

i think you unlock weapons in the order you want

Yea, they mentioned that most of the unlocks work on a point system, unlocking skills or clothes or weapons in the order you want with each having its own cost. I think skills may have their own currency though, because skills are player specific, but other unlocks seem to work for all of your characters.

If i recall things weapon parts and clothing were rewarded wehn for doing things in game. Skills are unlocked by getting points through leveling up which can then be spent on skills.

i'm not sure, but i think there are several shotguns, they are just split into two: automatic(heavy) and normal(medium)

There will be short rifles, which are essentially sni- you know what just check out h0rses info thread

Unlock stuff. Progression adds to fun.

» Mon Jan 11, 2010 2:44 pm

I prefer every weapon type available in the start that we can progressively level up for better ones.

If they aren't even allowing you to even pick light or medium bodytype from the start, I don't see why anyone would expect every type of weapon to be available

Fixed, only start with medium.

Right, that was just a typo on my part. Seems I have been up too long.

because weapons are in every shooter and at least one of each type is available from the start? or usually anyway

Well thats simple then, At the start you have the basic weapons that a med can use, then when you unlock the heavy you get the first batch of heavy weapons.

I don't assume all weapon types are available from the start but can we rank up and unlock new skills, weapons/attachments and gear offline in freemode?

I sure hope so, I don't want to be forced to have to play online in order to progress.... I hate it when games are like that because I don't have internet.

they have said multiple times that you can progress the same character both online and offline, its part of their goal "blur the line between single player and multiplayer"

In the trailers there are sniper-rifle semi-autos. There will be snipers. Let's hope they don't camp!
