Weapons Galore!

Gun for hire

As a badass merc, you'll be decked out with some realistic weapons that a mercenary would have, including pistols, shotguns, Uzis, sniper rifles, and automatic rifles. You'll also be decked out with C4 plastic explosives, white phosporus grenades, flash bang grenades, and more! Chatting with Kenn Hoekstra and Rick Johnson from Raven at the show, I learned that they're planning on including some not so realistic weapons in the game like microwave guns and such, for about 12 all in all (7 were implemented at the show)

Sniper rifle scope

Weapon switching

All weapons have dual fire mode. What I found was a nice touch is that changing weapons does not just show you dropping one down and raising the next. Raven implemented some cool weapon switching animations; in fact, several for each weapon. You'll be twirling pistols on your fingers, flipping them from one hand to the other, tossing shotguns end over end, etc. The weapon loading animations were fun to watch too. Yes, it's just a little thing but it's the little things that make/break games!
