Christ on a bike, that's fugly! Why would anyone want that?

Also, don't the weapons in PS2 take up like a fifth of the screen? Having that animated texture right up in your face all the time is going to be the most distracting thing in the world.

They're status symbols for people who have scored 5 Auraxiums with the same class of weapon. Fugly and impractical absurdities fit well...

Huh, who is this Birgirpall? As in, why is he special? It's cool that he'll be playing my faction and server but it won't matter to me because I'll be at work until around 21:00 EDT anyways.

Discussing the idea of giving The Brawler - the Auraxium variant of the NC Mauler shotgun - an underbarrel shotgun.

An underbarrel shotgun on your shotgun... oookay? Underbarrel shotguns get no love, it'd be nice if the 'tertiary fire' button actually got some use. Also, more than one shell would be nice, you could even get kUhrAAazaYy.

As for Auraxiam variants, having fixed attachments is kinda odd. I like flash suppressors on 90% of the guns I use and I'm sure many people would want to have their own optics.

EDIT: If what I'm reading now is accurate, the LMGs all get a compensator that give the advantages of a forward grip.

I didn't read the Reddit link, is this referring to all LMG's or just Auraxium variants?

He's a minor youtube celebrity, largely due to a bunch of hilarious gameplay videos. These include a couple preposterous "for fun" challenges in BF2 (or maybe it was CoD), but mostly revolving around "breaking" games and the resulting commentary. (Though to be honest, it's more about Banzai being silly.)

Advanced humor for mature people.

Having played Gang Beasts with a friend, it really is that fun.

Welp.

Brawler Shotgun underbarrel shotgun attachment confirmed for greatness.

Need to rush those remaining shotgun Auraxiums...

Also a revamp of the spawn system, reducing respawn times and load screens. Looks like a 'quick' respawn option with only 7 seconds downtime, but no changing class or spawn point.

[Kanil]

Awwww yeaaaah.

I hope it comes with extended mags, though... otherwise it probably isn't going to be that great. I'll use it for the lulz, but I'd be even happier if it was a legitimate weapon.

[Jim Groovester]

I guess I need to work on a fifth LMG auraxium so I can get a gaudy looking T9 CARV. With any luck it will be as jittery and frustrating as the original.

I crashed four times on Hossin today. I guess the game doesn't want me to play on that continent.

[Skyrunner]

B.but I like the T9 Carv.

Though I like the Gauss SAW better.

Under barrel shotgun for the mauler sounds dumb until you realise you can have slugs in the main clip and buckshot in the ub

Unlikely. The Auraxium weapons come with specific attachments unchangeable. Unless SOE wants it to have that it won't. Not seen a definitely list yet but I doubt they make the archetypal special reward shotguns slug only.

From dev comments on reddit, looks like it's a tradeoff against two extra rounds in the mag for the other factions. So maybe a 8 round + 1/2 UB, with the UB having higher damage (IIRC existing UBSGs can one shot with partial headshots), while other factions get the 10 round extended mag setup?

[zombat]

Oh yeah...


Yeah, its a dumb gimmick in that case

Sounds pretty bad, then. At least the 8 rounds will give me some practice for my Laser Sweeper that I've been pondering.

[Toaster]

I guess it boils down to "Can it be used like a poor-man's Jackhammer?"

_{Not that anyone with five shotgun auraxiums is a poor man}
