there isnt a great deal of games that have the AK47 in it. most FPS are WW2 based, while a handful are futuristic, and another handful warrant an AK47 or variant.
Well, looking on gamespot's (lol Gerstmann) first-page list of top-rated PC FPSes, there are... 3-4 futuristic FPSes (depending on whether or not you consider Crysis: Warhead to be set far enough in the future to be "futuristic), 2 WWII games, one set in the sixties, one at the turn of century, one in the old west, and 6 in the modern era. Out of those six, four have AK-type weapons in them. 5 if you include Killing Floor...
its kinda hard to be unique and inventive when adding a new assault rifle. they all go full auto, and they all kill stuff.
Only if you think about it that simplistically. It doesn't even have to be an assault rifle. ARs have a fairly narrow set of features and pretty much all occupy the same role, which is why it seems silly to me to add another assault rifle to the game that does pretty much the same thing as the existing one.
but there are quite a bit of cool firearms out there, especially the G3.
The G3 is a good idea; it's criminally underused outside of Tom Clancy games, and being a battle rifle (not an assault rifle), would occupy a different niche from the bullpup.
but for KF purposes, the AK47 is great! its not futuristic (over the top), and its not overpowered, or underpowered.
Exactly. It's as powered as the L22 carbine. Would it do anything hugely different?
(when i think of unique and inventive, i think of a gun that can shoot around corners, can mount anything to it, can shoot various different sized rounds, etc etc)
Use your imagination! There are plenty of unique and interesting (more unique and interesting than the AK, at least) guns that don't have to shatter suspension of disbelief.
Take your pick.
I want the Handcannon to be replaced with something else, Desert Eagles are used in many games and is unimaginative.
Actually, some people do believe that, myself included.
There are a ton of powerful handguns that don't get put into games simply because the Desert Eagle has more recognition. No one wants to shake things up a bit and introduce something truly unique. I mean, that's hard work when you can easily just stick to what's known, right?
What like this? Pfeifer Zeliska, biggest and most powerful (50% more muzzle energy than the S&W Model 500)... um... "pistol"... ya take that with a salt mine
in the world. When that motherf***er over there absolutely, POSITIVELY,
WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT MUST DIE!!!
I can't tell if you're serious, but if you are...
I find it funny how, in a lot of these "suggestions" sub-forums for virtually all video games, people find the most powerful, flashy, and impractical weapons possible and try to shoehorn them into the game, to hell and damnation with balance or aesthetic consistency.
I also find it funny that people love the AK-47 for it's perceived ruggedness and reliability, yet the same people love katanas, despite their being dainty, brittle, and high-maintainence.
But, that's my opinion; I'm as entitled to it as you are to yours, except mine is contrary to the majority's, which must mean I'm a
troll with
no life, because I can afford 10 minutes a day to post on forums...
