There's a <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/previews/previews_story.php(que)id=121350">preview</a> of <A href="http://www.hellgatelondon.com">Hellgate London</a> over at <A href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/">Computer and Video Games</a>. Here's a little bit about weapons:
<br>
<blockquote>As befits an action role-player, there'll be an abundance of weapons - at least 100 of them, in fact. But don't expect to see old favourites like AK47s and Uzis among them. Conventional weapons can't hurt demonic creatures, so all the toys in your potential arsenal are at least slightly magical in nature. You don't spray lead from an M16 - you unleash flaming shells of righteous fury with your Vulcan Bolter. That kind of thing.</blockquote>
<br>
There you have it, no magic uzis exist in Hellgate. Then again, something about magical guns just seems so.. wrong.

So, is it gonna be a weapons bonanza fest like Diablo 2? Because if it is, they're gonna have a shitload of work cutout for them.

 

[Nicolai]

I'd rather have real-world weapons than that wonky magical chit.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

thats true, so would I.

 

[Seven]

I'd rather have real-world weapons than that wonky magical chit.

Then apparently when the demon hordes arrive you will be among the first to die.

 

[Nicolai]

Hey, at least I'll die with style.

 

[Sol Invictus]

There's more style in equipping a machine gun that fires lightning bolts than a crappy M16.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Well, my opinion is that if you can shoot magic lightning bolts, you probably wouldn't need a gun to do it.

 

[Sol Invictus]

The guns are 'spell delivery systems' for the same reason that the Lord of the Rings mage uses his staff to do magic, and how a witch might use a crystal ball.

 

[Flink]

tis' true! I've seen it in stories!
