Alright, so I suppose I would just start this thread because there has been a big debate on what is a creative weapon, if the weapon has already been done, and if it would work in multiplayer. I want to exclude some things though:

-Weapons designed from a long existent map team.

-Weapons from Halo3, but they can be infuenced.

-Weapons from other games, but they can be influenced.

Post here your ideas and we can tell you if they have been made or whatever.

Heres a weapon concept I drew a while back, nothing too detailed or special but thought I'd post anyway. Its kind of covenant style top to it, almost needler-ish, which is where the idea came from probably!



The original idea was some kind of Neuro- toxin pistol. I thought that it should fire needle type darts that cause minor damage on impact but then inflict further damage in the same way the flamers fire does.

The canister type section below is some kind of compressed gas to fire the darts, and these would be the things needed to reload as the darts were so small theres enough in the weapon.

If anyone feels the need to make it feel free as long as you credit me the design, if not just leave it I'm not to fussed about it at the end of the day.

Good idea and I just thought of another one:

-An alien-designed weapon that shoots pulse lasers, which shoots "projectiles" in the shape of smoke rings, and it causes damage plus a knock-back effect on vehicles.

^ I believe there is a similar idea almost exactly the same in Shadow The Hedgehog , for the Xbox , GameCube and Playstation 2.

Well I never played Sonic so i wouldn't know that. Besides, this weapon is going to be different than any Sonic game item.

There are some noticable things in this post you made

1: Shadow The Hedgehog is Not a Sonic game , hence the name.
2: Given the specific information you gave us on your idea , i have reason to believe , even if you may have not played the game , you may have seen the item in question in action.

Or alternatively , its a huge coincidence that 2 items , one which you made up , and another which is already in use , have almost the exact same effect and look to their projectile. The only other course of action for you would be to change the appearance of the model , either way , the effects of the weapon would still be unoriginal.

In short , its already been done , so its not that original.

Dont mean to be an ass , just stating my thoughts.

-I don't care if Shadow isn't Sonic; it is made by the same publisher.

-The shots will be pulsating plasma with an empty middle in a circular form. It could also be electromagnetic.

-It may look like the gun carried by sentries in Marathon or the Covy Plasma Turret in Halo2.

-I have never seen that weapon before in my life.

-This came to me out of the blue, like just thinking, and I thought of Marathon RED's weapon that shoots electro silver rings. I also thought about how drivers can always run over people in HaloCE and a solution to it. I also thought about plasma pulses from Covy Carriers. Then i thought, how about a weapon that can deflect vehicles backwards. It could really help against ghost whores and warthoggers. *Sorry for the puns.*

-The projectiles may not even look like a what I said when I get to them, so don't sweat it.

I have a lot of stuff Ill try get pics
One of the things is this plasma kinda gun with a paintballgun inspired tube.
ther're just doodles I made during class so they wouldnt be very good.
I also have an elephant type vehicle with a mingun, a troop compartment, a vehicle compartment, a helipad, and a top little observation area
I also have somesort of spaceship or somthing with quad engines, wings, and guns.
Then inside the folder i made this little battle thing with a troop transport walker thing with a rear mounted machine gun, a turret (inspired by the halo1 shade), a hover jeep(i normally draw them without the MG but this ones special:D
I also drew a collection of turrets on the top of a version i put in the copy machine.
I also have scorpion inspired tankes, a mortar canon on treads, and a hovertanke carying missles like the ones in halo 3(the storm, floodgate, and highground)hmmmmm I also think i have modified jeep (like what the S.A.S used in WWII ) I think i have more though...
srry if there vehicles mostly I dont like drawing weapons

Custom grenade i made a while back for my Halo trial Sniper strike. When the frag exploded Ice particles flew everywere. And another one was the Rapid-Shot Sniper 123212212221111...

It was a totally remodeled AR that shot like a sniper with a 9 rof.

ICE GRENADES FTW!!!! I will try to make an Ice grenade model in paint soon. I hope this turns out great too.

I also have another idea again:

-When the needler uses its melee, it stick shards into the enemies and causesa needle explosion! What do ya'll think?

i made some healthpacks and a new model for the double speed powerup.

pics or stfu
j,k,l,m,n,o,p

But still Pics plz

A Poke'Bomb

A bomb disguised as a Pokemon Pokeball

XD

all my epic stuff is on my old (dead) laptop.
so i will give you a "no u"
lol

EPIC WIN. You can't catch that,lol, especially without hands.

Here is my Ice Grenade Blueprint:


The Ice Grenades have multiple effects:

-When it hits someone, it does no damage, but instead freezes.

-The person is frozen for 6-7 seconds and is completely frozen the first 1-2 seconds and slowly begins to move to normal speed and use attacks.

-During this time, aim is very slow.

-To balance out the extreme vulnerability of melee attacks, the area around the hit-person is slippery.

-Vehicles will slide when hit by a grenade and will continue to for the next 6-7 seconds afterward.

-Anything that crosses over an area hit by an ice grenade will slide.

-Please leave comments about it. :)

Lol did you use Microsoft Paint? Nice to. the body looks like a rupee

Yeah, it is supposed to look like a stone because it is ice. *derderder*

Make the ice grenades like the fire grenades in halo 3, but more icy looking. give it a similar model but have it all blue in the middle instead of read. basically the counterpart to the flame grenade. have it shoot out a large blue mist like the plasma grenade effect but more icy looking when it detonates. also have it shoot out shards of ice like a spike grenade.

well, my Poke'Bombs work





This would be an awsome vehicle tag

I wish

Does anyone have any tutorials on how to model in GMAX?

yes you can. make the explosion.effect tag spawn an actor varient

AVs cant be chainspawned. He could spawn a vehicle with an AI in it.

So...what is this?:

Actually, it cant spawn AI at all. What the video was either a .biped or .unit
I edited my explosion.effect and made it spawn my mario scenery. Now all I need is a sound tag file of the pokeball opening. Then ill just add it to the effect. Also I need to remove the smoke and shockwave effects.

That there is a .biped tag, notice it doesn't move when he shots at it or anything.

Nah i just got it imported into 3ds. It was .c4d Cinema 4D
