New Weapon Concepts

I liked the concept but I think that the design needs work.

More concepts IMO.

well the laser doesn't hurt people too much so thats why I made it look like a pistol. And I don't know why you guys named it a laser because it shoots some type of projectile and not a concentrated "beam" of light. It looks more like a plasma gun instead of laser. But I do like the idea of making the laser an actually laser and maybe it can have a secondary fire that shoots plasma for people to jump with.

No no! Don't change what the "laser" does! It's a really useful weapons / pogo stick the way it is now. Just change the name (I've suggested this in other threads, as some of you may remember.. ).

My suggestions for a new name for the "laser":

Momentum gun
Impulse gun
Pogo gun

All are better and more descriptive than "laser", which is plain misleading, imo.

Instead of focusing on how the crylink looks (not that there's anything wrong with making it look better), how about thinking about what it does. As it is now, the crylink is the gun you use only until you get something better - and then discard. It's easily the "meh"est weapon in the lineup. It's like a bookmark or something.

How about (fex) we let the crylink fire a single projectile, that on impact detonates all the cells the target is carrying. This would cause no damage to players who are only carrying bullets or rockets, while a fully loaded nex or electro would be an instant frag.

That's actually pretty cool

Actually I agree, it's a lot easier to make concepts when you know what its function is. So I say we should focus on figuring out what it should do.

You sure are a creative one

I like this concept. Though if you implement this concept as the crylink instead of electro (which is actually already really good looking), things could get interesting. Also, instead of the blue bars they could have the color of the future crylink. They kinda remind me of Prey's ammo bars for the standard most gun (the one that is a sniper too). I loved that weapon.
But yeah, overall, I really like that concept. Who else?

Nexuiz needs weapons of this caliber.

[Psychcf]

is it just me or does that look like an electro?

[The mysterious Mr. 4m]

an electro on steroids!

i really like(d) the feel of the Crylink in earlier Nexuiz versions (around 1.1) and if it really is going to be replaced, then why not with the HLAC? (i know, i'm obsessed with that gun )

as for alternative laser naming: how about "blaster" or "pulse"?
