Edit: the fact that you think lasers are even visible makes me thing you have no idea what you're talking about.

not quite that invisible. depends on the type of laser and the lights wavelength. That second video also shows a "muzzle flash", tho I still question the validity of that video.

Locking. This has been discussed numerous times and addressed by us at PGI. I'll merge it with the other thread once I find it.

[Paul Inouye]

Bump for merge.

I think it is safe to say PGI will give us what they feel are approrpiate effects for laser weaponry. They will listen to the community's opinions, of course...but they can answer with "no" as easily as they can with "yes".

Thank you paul.

Lasers look great, missiles look great, the autocannon looks too much like a missile. My opinion MW3 had the best autocannon effect, MW4 had the absolute worst autocannon effect, even worse than MW2's two vectored lines.

LASERS ONLY - Not all energy weapons

Hi All. I'm going to have to pool all the laser discussions with a poll because I have issue with the lasers in the GDC 2012 video footage.

Not too happy. I was excited about a slightly slower pace game, lacking the circle-strafing as was mentioned. Call me a whiner, but I see circle strafing. Even with torso twisting having limits... Now this video was planned really well to give us little bits of each functionality. The missiles are great. but I don't like the lasers. I thought of a cross between MechAssault and MechWarior 3.

So I will open it to the floor with kind of a varied poll, mostly because I don't want too many people posting long lists of how they think lasers should operate. They are lasers. I will try to cover the bases. Let me know if you think I should modify any part of the poll.

I wish I could post this above the poll, but if you have never played MWLL before, you can see how all the lasers in the game operate here: http://youtu.be/pTjDjVo39Gc

If you havn't seen the video yet, grab the link from my sig.

you can always just not use lasers, use ppcs instead, or whatever.

I'd actually prefer it if they lasers were bit less bright and more hazy. Think laser pointer's beam showing in smoke.
