The game is set to release on September 16, 2008.

As far as the weapons go, there has been no official list released yet so I don't want to start naming guns that have the chance of not making it in the final version of the game. I'm sure we'll see something in the coming months, and can probably expect some of the popular weapons to be making a return.

1. Around September 19th
2. I really don't know, I think the SCAR-LW is there and like I think the Hk36 is coming back along with other obvious weapons (AK-47 etc)

[navyboy]

from the screens and "gun of the week" videos its obvious that these will be in it - these are what the weapons are called in socom, not necessarily real life

m60e3
IW-08-a2
m4a1
model 18
sas-r
m82a1
f-90
hk5
hk36
ak47
SCAR-LW

expect more of the same "classics" and a few additions

each special force has its own exclusive weapon that u can only use if you are playing as that force

[discombobulate]

I'd say the M16A2 is pretty much a guarentee as well, it's a staple of the series.

mk?

I looooooooove my mk!

'specially for snipin'!

WAIT!!!! I don't remember seeing anything about destructible environments......

[Subject 17]

They took it out. There will be some limited destructibility, but fully destructible environments apparently break the flow too much.

And the release date is October 16th now.

Speaking of the weapons; is it that difficult to get the rights to use their real names? Every other semi-realistic TPS/FPS has them. Are the rights even needed? Made up names don't bother too much as long as they don't do something ridiculous with the stats like making a .32 Scorpion twice as powerful as an M4A1 like in COD4.


Is there a no-color rule about posts that I'm not aware of?

[Subject 17]

Nah, there is no color rule. People have been doing it for years, like eulogy. And that bit about the scorpion only holds true at very close range. Also, a .223 is smaller than a .32, however the M4 propels it at a greater velocity than the scorp.

The M4/M16/AR-15/HK416 (all based on the same basic design) don't fire .223 Remington, they fire 5.56X45mm. You can use .223 in a 5.56mm rifle but not the other way around. I cited the Scorpion's caliber (.32 ACP/7.65X17mm) because it has less than a third of the of the kinetic energy of the 5.56mm from a 14.5in (M4) barrel. I know a bit about terminal ballistics.

I'd also like to note that HK produces a rifle called the HK36 which is similar to the G3. So it can't be that they changed the names to avoid needing the rights.
