It makes no sense for any shooter that models it's guns after real guns to use fake names . I found it really annoying in the early going picking up and discarding guns just to identify them.
Eurocom can use the proper name for the P99. Other Activision titles use real gun names. It's hard to imagine that a publisher would license the rights to use a manufacturer's gun likeness and name on a per title basis? Is this actually how it is done? Does Blood Stone use fake gun names?
GoldenEye 007
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Nov 02, 2010
GoldenEye 007 (for the Wii and Nintendo DS) is a re-imagining of the 1997 Nintendo 64 classic of the same name (as well as the 1995 movie it was based off of).
What's the deal with fake gun names?
Really don't care much.
I rather have awesome weapons like the cerebral bore or cyclone then the same boring assault rifles with generic names.
Actually, the AK-47 is properly named. I would assume because the gun is the intellectual property of the Russian government (or so I've heard) and the name can be used without paying royalties.
" I don't know because I've not played either, but it might be to retain the names from the original. "They are trying to name them after the original gun names.
I can't imagine something I care less about than the names of my virtual guns. This is exactly why I only play games with fictional guns with my friends, because they are the types of guys that will explain to me what type of gun it is, why it was invented and other shit that I don't care about.
From what I remember it only worked on the semi intelligent creatures (aka the gunners, not dino's or beast thingies).
The gun locks on, you see a reticule turn red, you fire, the projectile bores his way through the victims head while first blood spews out, then gray matter, and then he falls over.
