I remeber there was this game that had a railgun in it. Can't remeber the name now. Began with a Q.

edit: I think it was a sequel

Lots of games have railguns in them, the mod Holy Wars has one along with the quake series.

Didn't Red Faction have a weapon similiar to the railgun in Eraser?

 

[Bluechair]

Now what would be really cool is....if when you zoomed in you could see through walls just like in the movie...

That gun was a bit unfair tho, got owned from like 20 miles away by your bro in a different room :/

I was always the bro who blew holes in the walls, climbed into nowhere land, and railgunned everyones asses. Always had like 25kills/death. I'd like to add arail-gun to my MOD...we'll see. Deffinetly not the one at the top of the page though.

I don't really understand all kinds of big and "unique" weapons...
Simulating real life was the point in HL1 and is in even bigger part in HL2, that's the trick how you could feel like you're in the game as Freeman (If you don't count in Xen which was totally useless addition to the game, I've never finished HL1 because of Xen), not some big blasters with wallhack built in.

Perhaps Eraser railgun would be good addition, but only if the vision through walls would be REALLY limited, damn blurry image for 2 or 3 meters behind the wall or something like that and it would be much smaller and more realistic looking piece of weaponry, without weird blue ray coming out when shot .

*nitpickin mode* but a number of them there weapons don't even exist

in other words change it so much its not the same gun atall anymore, I dunno if thats what he had in mind, I think he just wants the cool blue ray effect thing mostly.. which is pretty neat looking from whatt I remember, but didn't it look a bit like the weapon from HL1 anyway

Yeah I know, but they somehow fitted in the world and they werent as nuts as Eraser as functioning.

True eyecandy is nice but since the Eraser weapon is somewhat realistic gun, it accelerates bullet to insane speed, a blue ray wouldn't be possible, distorting of vision (like when strider shoots) would fit better and would actually look better than some ray.
True there's gauss gun in original HL which is much like Eraser, but it looks more like an prototype weapon which could fit in to some alien conspiracy and has a feeling of charging the shot whit rotating parts.

This is quite difficult thing to discuss of course since HL does have insane weapons with kewl colored rays and such, but they somehow fitted in, except the.... whatever was the weapon with laser like ray which could run as long as battery is left, it felt like stupid addition to the collection of weapons.

Fenric... we both type and think too much.

Red Faction does a really good job of balancing out the "see-through-walls" scope. You can't really see anyone unless the center of your scope is pretty close to them.

Heh, the Eraser railgun being realistic...

If you could actually accelerate a slug to nearly the speed of light, the kickback would send the gun backwards at several thousand km/h, and when the slug hits something you'd get one hell of bang from the slug converting all its kinetic energy into other forms (mainly heat) as it hits the dirt. And considering the energy of something moving is proportional to the square of its velocity, at such an incredible velocity you get a LOT of energy.
