I thought it would be good idea to redo some of the weapons, like the pistol,
nex, crylink, etc. I still like some of the weapon models like the machine gun
and hagar. I think they just need new textures.

I came up with a new pistol concept. I tried to keep it Nexuizy.

The orange parts are the colors that will coordinate with your character's. Tell me what you think.

It would also be great if everybody can submit a concept for a gun.
It doesn't matter which gun. You don't need to have any drawing skills,
it is just concept work. As long as your idea is clear. If everyone comes
to an agreement then I will model that concept.

I like that... it fits pretty well with the Nex style, but looks almost more practical.

This does look good, but what's wrong with the current laser? :S

Considering that the current laser model is already similar to your new conception drawing, I'd say that the only two changes necessary are to reshape the handle, and add some more minor protruding details.

When you say pistol, did you mean laser?

On your conception drawing, I personally think that model is too generic.
Not yours in particular but the overall shape and look. I've very similar before.

And I agree that it is similar to the current laser. Maybe alter the shape or try for a different look?

I do think the current laser should look a little more like a pistol

I have to say, there are 4 weapons, I wouldn't touch:
Laser, electro, rocket launcher (yes, I LIKE the old one), mortar. But the others maybe could use some replacing.
Ivan, once I made a concept for the rocket model. it can be found here:

Here's the old and new lasers for comparison




Again don't be afraid to submit anything.

Thank you C.Brutail

I like the old one better.

Edit: I like the old one because It's bigger. I don't feel the laser should be a pistol. It should be larger then a pistol, but without going overboard. Also, the current one has much more detail, Ivan's is good, but It's lacking some elements from the old laser that I really liked. Also, it would not make much sense to use such a small gun to do a laser jump...

Um, from now on let's not just say "I like it" or "I don't like it". Your going to need an explanation for the way you feel.

You can say you don't like something, but your going to need an explanation or I won't take you seriously.

I think the old laser is very "nexuizy", and just fits in the game. Your concept is good, but too much reminds me to Unreal's Automag:



I'll do a quick photo of my other weapon concept, the crylink
Sorry I draw bad btw

Here are my crylinks:

Wow, those are nice. Thats a great revision of the current crylink.

For seem reason it also makes me think of the nex. In my mind, it might suit your conception better.

Maybe its the shape or how it lacks the "tubes".

If you go by the concepts it seems as it's a big gun. Where you wear the weapon (thus the pillows), so for a nex it would not suit it. Nex is more of a light gun and easy to maneuver in my mind. This concept is more like a heavy machine gun, as for crylink, it could be interesting. Though I'd wait for more concepts

Yes, my design is for a rather heavy weapon, and you carry it on your shoulder (see on picture). As we know, the crylink is stronger now, so imho it could be seen as a heavy energy gun.



Yesterday Qantourisc came up with a nice idea, to change the look of the barrel, into some kind of an =O= shape, so it could indicate the secondary fire of the crylink.





And imho the hagar's model is very lame too, here's my idea (even wors then the crylink, ins't it? )

i actually like the current crylink model.

i was thinking about a new electro model:

one of the two side barrels would come off and the other one would go underneath the main. and i think it needs some shaft, similar to the nex.

i rather like the laser model but there is a definite need for new weapons. Modeling the concept laser should be pretty simple.
I love the crylink model and I think that all it needs is some texture rework. (IMHO)

I never finished my nexgun model based on the old nexgun because i just don't have any ideas for it. if someone can give me a good concept i'll surely finish it off.

The original sketch (which the model doesn't look like)

I am liking this concept the more I look at it. I think that it needs some detail but i like how it resembles a heavy machine gun.

The only thing is that it looks like a electrogun. You know, a gun that shoots electricity.

Ihsan, I like the old nex too, but I was thinking of a cross between the current model and the old model. I like the "lance" look of the current one but I don't like the way it resembles a... umm... a penis.

Can you give me a copy of that model?

You have a dirty mind don't you? I never thought it resembled that I'm gonna look for it the next time I play.

But yeah, I like the old nex too, probably more than the current one so maybe a blend of the old and the new would spice it up.

the crylink doesn't look like a wang.

I think he meant the current nex gun.

oh. still, I see no meat.

Maybe he is referring to the rounded glowing shaft on the end of it.

I have this idea for crylink

Even if he isn't, they sure have weird penises over at his place

@Ivan: What about taking the handle of your new concept and the front part of the old one, as your handle looks much more practical imo. Otherwise no one will see the difference ingame (maybe the people with fov 140 ) so the work may not be worth it... But overall your concept looks really professional. Great drawing-skills! The concept is just too generic like others have said.

@C.Brutail: About the Crylink. Good Concept but i don't see how it fits to the projectiles that it uses right now. Reminds me of the Smartgun in the Aliens movie. More rapid-fire like then the crylink is right now.

indeed i think it's a veiled suggestion on his behalf for new crylink possibilities...

Yeah me too.

I'll see if I can get the laser concept to look a bit more interesting, kay

Concepts can go through a lot of revisions before you settle on the perfect one.
