That's a pretty damn lofty number. A half million different weps?

Although it's probably safe to assume that they count variants of weapons.

For example, you have your handgun. That's one weapon. Then you ad a Silencer piece, which makes it a new weapon.

I expect the weapons count to be high due to variations like that

i dont care if they count the pistol 500 different ways. There are still 500,000 variations. Think about it.

anyone else think this game may be the sleeper of 09

its most likely half a million variations of weapons, maybe theres 100 weapons, and like a bunch of attachments or something.....an automatic rifle with a scope or red dot is really different from an auto with a silencer or grenade launcher

I don't see why people are moaning.
If there is like 100 different actual weapons thats alot, and if they can all be customised in various ways to give you hundreds of variations then that gives you plenty to piss about with!

Ive been looking for new information on this game, or some new gameplay at E3 08 and havent really seen anything posted on youtube besides the old trailer which was renamed E3 2008 trailer. I was hoping it would still come out this year but with really know new info i guess its coming out next year.

not hard to do really...think diablo, 1 changed stat = new item

but the fact is a system like that makes games really fun, wish more games would have somewhat random item generation

Doesn't really impress me. Amount of random generated weapons that probably differentiate by a hair won't make me want to buy this game.

Make sure the game doesnt suck first. Sounds like a lot of fluff that wont really matter if the games not spot on.

Guys and Girls-

I am watching this game fairly closely. They have updated the number of weapons to over 650,000. The way that they can achieve this is definitely due to different color=different weapon thought process. HOWEVER: according to the designers, the "random weapon creation process" actually builds guns on-the-fly as drop(s). In the video that I was watching, it had a rifle that had a cylinder pop out on the side, like a revolver. They are merely taking the concept of every type of gun, and then smashing together and pulling certain aspects out. It seems simplistic, but it truly is an ingenious way of creating "random" drops.

Diablo +guns +dune buggies = many nights of missed sleep.

I personally cannot wait until Quarter 4!!!!!
