what weapon is this?

[Syluxguy28O3]

so i was on steam and i decided to look at the quake page. as i was scrolling through the screenshots i came across this:





obviously whoever did the page uploaded a shot from a mod.what weapon is this?

[Zop]

That might be the proximity mine gun from one of the mission packs, actually.

[Syluxguy28O3]

no its not. this is the mine gun:

Not any weapon I've ever seen...of course, I've only played SoA and DoE. Haven't played any others. (How many others are there, btw?)

Perhaps its an outdated alpha/beta screenshot that is on the STEAM page for some reason?

[Mindf!3ldzX]

A link to the source page / source image could possibly offer more insight.

[Syluxguy28O3]

so after doing some thinking and recalling my time in quake, i think it might be a weapon from FvF.

[R00k]

the poor quality throws me off

Hi syluxman2803!
This weapon is the super nailgun", this�s included in "QTEST1", the first beta version published by id Software. Qtest1 is the first preview of quake, weapons, monsters, mapping, and the new 3D environment. You can download even still available. This version was made to test it in single player mode and DM.

looks like shit

Nah man, that's the "Less Than" gun. When you press fire, from the base to the tip those less than signs light up in succession, finally releasing a projectile of pure "less than" at your opponent. It was this whole philosophical thing that didn't make the cut. People didn't really identify with "less than" being an actual projectile. Also, equal rights groups protested the weapon on the basis that the projectile implies that the assailant is "greater than" and that is not acceptable in a world where we are all equal.

Did I win?

[Spike]

nah, its clearly a chevron gun.

[MadGypsy]

nah, its clearly a chevron gun.

Too obvious, no creativity was used to create that answer. I give you a zero for effort. Stick to the smarty pants stuff and leave the ridiculous stories/descriptions to me

edit: apparently I can't find the words to say the above in a way that sounds friendly. disclaimer: the above was friendly and hopefully some smilies will help distinguish that

It's OK, R00k once told me that my view of the world is through a cupcake... that didn't sound good at all and it was amplified by the fact that I didn't understand that statement one bit, but I grew as a person and never looked back.

only two polygons :/

Interestingly, I would've guessed that the weapon in the first post was a blaster (enforcer laser), as I know that a few people have made models for that.
