Multiplayer trailer reveal

Given the futuristic nature, I'm not making the page yet, but I can already tell that the "Reaver" shotgun is obviously a futuristic Kel-Tec KSG. As for the assault rifles, the "NV-4" appears to be an AR-15 style rifle, and the "Volk" is some kind of Parabellum Armament AK-14 knockoff. Now the "Ripper" submachine gun (which can switch between SMG and AR modes), it's Magpul PDR styled. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 05:32, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

Saw a Glock and a .45 Vector smg with double magazine (!) But yeah i think IW should have its own page, seeing as BO3 has way more advanced and futurized weaponry^^--Death Shadow20 (talk) 08:38, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

I think we should wait and see until the games fully out before we make an entry. At this rate, we might as well add an entry for Halo...--AnActualAK47 (talk) 08:51, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

Copy/pasting a couple of my responses to this topic on the main discussion page which show a couple of relevant images:

I think it probably deserves a page, there are quite a few guns that are based on real guns or use real components. The most obvious is the NV-4 which is pretty much just an M4 with a VLTOR receiver with some relatively minor modifications. Even with the weird stuff like that hybrid sniper thing there are real parts visible: in this case you can see from the receiver that it was modelled from and M14. As for others, to me it looks like the Type-2 (or is it a MOD2?) is based on an FMG-9/FPG, back end of the Reaver looks like it could be a KSG, and the Volk has an AK reciver and a 7.62x39mm style mag. --commando552 (talk) 18:57, 2 September 2016 (EDT)

By "based on" I mean that the model is actually an altered version of the model of a real gun, rather than it just being vaguely based on the same concept. From what I have seen so far, the guns in this are a lot closer to real life weapons than BO3's guns. The NV-4 is the most notable:

Even with that hybrid sniper thing you can see that the model is actually based on an M14 that has been altered:

You can see various parts of the original M14 model, including the receiver, safety catch (which has been made totally unusable by the new stock implying that this actually started out as a standard M14 model), heatshield and gas tube. To me it looks like at least some of the guns in this are based on real guns. This is in contrast to BO3 where the guns were, in anything, only in the vague shape of something real, so if anything I would say that IW would be a more valid to build a page for than BO3 which already has one. --commando552 (talk) 08:03, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

Well then. Now, who's going to buy this game when it comes out? I sure won't. Also, the fire-selector on that AR looks super awkward.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 13:14, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

As well as the obvious looking M4 i'm pretty sure there was a glock style pistol in an earlier campaign trailer. On the MP weapons selection menu there was also a "classics" tab so presumably either classic weapons will return or ballistic weaponry. Some of the interviews mention a "Kendall Ballistics" company so i am expecting regular bullet throwers. Even the Volk- AK style rifle is mentioned as an energy rifle so this is possible. Finally Halo should have a page. If AW and BO3 got one then so should that imo. The MA5C clearly takes inspiration from F2000 etc...--Forrest1985 (talk) 14:48, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

According to the guy who designed the MA5C, he didn't know about the F2000 and only got to know about it after the game came out.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 15:10, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

The Resistance series also had its own page where it had an obvious Colt M1911 and the M14 with pistol grip/wooden stock but it also got deleted as well, for shame, rules will be rules though.--Death Shadow20 (talk) 15:18, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

No real guns were harmed in the making of the HALO weapons, so it doesn't warrant a page. After all, we would have basically nothing to say about them. AW and BO3 both feature guns that (arguably) are based on real guns, but also feature standard unmodified real weaponry to a lesser extent. BO3 is kind of a grey area though (there are only a couple of unmodified weapons and it is questionable whether the futuristic guns are actually based on anything specific), but there is the argument that as it is part of a larger series it can be included for completeness sake. If a game with the BO3 weapons came out and it was unrelated to anything else it would probably be deemed ineligible. --commando552 (talk) 20:43, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

This shows some of the weapons based on real guns.--Quarax (talk) 00:58, 4 September 2016 (EDT)
