Any shots of QW Strogg weapons firing?

The only one I can find is the screenshot that shows a muzzle flash (maybe) in the one that describes the Strogg classes.

I hope the Strogg weapons are not like Unreal Tournaments’ using bright flashy projectiles. With the interesting names they have been given, they seem like they might be energy based. While I like UT, I definately don’t like the weapon effects as they tend to clutter the view considerably. For instance, the Link gun which fires green plasma balls or a solid stream… while a cool gun and fun to play with, I absolutely hate how much of my screen is covered by the effects of it’s projectiles.

Using GDF ‘guns’ versus a flashy UT like weapon would give an advantage to the GDF. You would be easily spotted as a Strogg due to the bright effects (especially in the darker maps), have your vision cluttered by the bright projectiles spamming your view, and make it harder to spot enemies by assaulting your eyes with bright colors (like seeing at night, and not wanting to look at a bright light so you dont lose your night vision).

So, I was looking for a screenshot or maybe a movie that shows Strogg projectiles being fired out of their guns… anyone know of one?

If they looked at the Q4 weapons it would be ok. Q4 weapons have far less screen impact then the UT weapons and look very good imho.

Newest PC Gamer has a screen that shows 2 Strogg firing energy weapons at two GDF who have taken cover. Pretty cool.

In all these screenshots, and even the trailer, it always seems to be the strogg laying down the fire on the GDF… bit biased imo :frowning:

I thought I read somewhere that the Strogg weapons were supposed to be stronger but will be easier to spot since they’re bright and flashy.

Hehe funny you say this. I just looked at the screens again, all the Earth Forces seem to do in them is sneak about in grass and comm with each other, I <3 the GDF :stuck_out_tongue:

Thx for the shots.

The flying Strogg vehicles looks to have some big effects on its projectiles, but the Strogg firing on the ground on that one shot just looks like a laser bolt and not too excessive.

I think I will be GDF more than Strogg after seeing this though… it will be easy to spot where they are in dark maps.

Muzzle flashes should be spottable as well.

Itll make for some retro fire fights tho, cant wait.

That would make it unfair to have the Strogg weapons have bright flashes and bullets you could see and trace back to the source where it was fired. To even it out a little the GDF weapons could have much brighter muzzle flash or something.
