40+ Weapons on release?

[Fragmagnet 3]

In beta, we currently only have 20 weapons.

Even if you do count variants as weapons.

That's still only 30.

So either Bohemia miscounted, or they have some weapons ready to be tested in the final beta patch before release.

Hopefully static machine guns and such.

Also where's my future M60?

I hope that PDW SMG is F**kin' special;-) I still reckon it's an MP7 PDW ......ahh the days of heavy and light MG's for each side......

[Masharra 10]

I think they count variants. I.e the Borderlands style of counting. 1 bazillion guns.

[Smurf 12]

Mines and explosives count aswell?

Disappointed to not see M4 and AKs because of the animations related to them which are the base for many other firearms. Few weapons anyway =\

[pharoah 65]

Thats crap. For a future battlefield we have surprisingly few weapons. :(

[danny96 80]

Where are the shotguns?

I mean this shotgun:

And sniper rifle, only M320 and GM6 ? :(

[Rolling 1]

And sniper rifle, only M320 and GM6 ? :(

Both of which are huge rifles. Where are the medium sniper rifles like M24s and the like?

[danny96 80]

And sniper rifle, only M320 and GM6 ? :(

Those are Anti-Material. Normal sniper rifles aren't even in-game :/

[f27sharps 1]

Those are Anti-Material. Normal sniper rifles aren't even in-game :/

where do you find this information ?

[nmdanny 22]

Those are Anti-Material. Normal sniper rifles aren't even in-game :/

The MXM and the ABR are regular sniper rifles.

[FanBF2 13]

I think we are too influenced by ArmA 2 with these DLCs and his standalone.

How many weapons was in ArmA 2 when it was released ?

Oh, and don't forget the new customization system for the weapons.

[robbert 1]

Those are designated marksman rifles, not sniper rifles

[nmdanny 22]

Well, the GM6 Lynx also serves as an anti-personnel sniper rifle, another sniper rifle would be redundant. And the M320 is anti-personnel, not anti material.

[Masharra 10]

another sniper rifle would be redundant

Yea I always hated in arma 2 having to choose. m24, m40, m110, m107, SVD, KSVK. Damn them an their redundant sniper rilfes!

Oh couldnt the same be said about assault rifles?

[GottyPlays 10]

wait, these will be the only weapons in the final game? like really!? no shotguns!?!? WTF!

did not know about this...

[-ghost-tf 12]

There is just too many, I cant find my SAW in the weaponsbox because of them.

Btw will we get a silencer for the .408? If we dont then we definetly need a normal sniper with silencer.

More sniper rifles would be nice, but before expanding current weapon categories they need to create some shotguns, finish the XM-25 and add more jets and civilian vehicles.

It's still a failure on BIS's part, but I'm not very worried about weapons since there are a lot of weapon packs/mods, but high quality vehicles on the other hand, are something that we really need.

[Fragmagnet 3]

It's anti-materiel rifle. It's meant to be used against equipment and such. Not different materials.

Also a sniper with a suppressor seems kind of pointless, because if you're close enough for them to respond in any short amount of time, you should be using a designated marksman's rifle. Not a sniper.

What's a failure? That they went a certain way with weapons and it's a failure because YOU aren't happy?

[Masharra 10]

Thats typically how you judge failure.

[nmdanny 22]

The failure is that the amount of weapons and vehicles hasn't lived up to the expectations of the community, they've promised 40+ weapons, yet if you look at the countdown page, you'll see that there are less weapons, specifically shotguns and the XM-25.

And the fact that there's only 1 jet, after 3 years of development, and a small amount of vehicles overall (compared to A2 without expansions, see here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Vehicles), is a sign of a failure

[slatts 1978]

First rule of game development, Never promise anything. And they never did.

Fact is we don't know what happened to them. They could be saved for future release bundled with the campaigns. They could have been moved into other DLC's we don't know about yet. Come back in a year and a bit after the DLC and major patch work has been done and then you may try call something which isn't finished yet a "failure".

yeah...the isn't finished yet argument...

we are A MONTH from release date...what the hell make you think that they will add in a month? it's even stated in the last sitrep that they will stop adding content before release (well that's sarcasm, in 4 months of alpha i saw them add 2 snipers, 2 trucks, 2 apc's, some helos and nothing else...) and then they will focus on bugfixing.

the campaign won't even be on release.

basically we will get alpha + altis map.

for me that's a BIG failure.
