New weapons

Hey, I have a suggestion to make, in lugaru 2 there should be more long renge weapons... like bows and arrows, or a spear you can throw.
cuz with a longbow, you could like, instantly kill someone 100 feet away! I guess it would be hard to aim it in 3rd person though.

Nice idea. Check out this part of the forum, especially this thread about the combat system and this thread about training and ranged weapons aiming. The suggestions of the community are all there. We'd be glad to hear your suggestions on our ideas as well.

Oh and, don't forget to look at the weapons David has already got models for.
I'm not sure if you've seen them or not but, I'm going to show them anyways. I want to see them again.

Man, I can't get enough of the screenshot.

The first one is like a dinky little kitchen knife, but the last one is a full-fledged scythe.

Actually, that appears to be a halberd. Either way, it's gorgeous.

Thought I would throw this in here, don't think it ever saw the light of day:

a closer look at some of the weapons, rendered in 3Ds max.

*note, these are not to scale with each other.

Whoa that looks awesome up close, they actualy look like someone made them. I mean, they even got engravings on them, such detail.

Will there be models for the old Lugaru stuff, like the normal staff and sword?

Third person aiming hard? not really, just play SW battlefront 1 in third person, or mount&blade, both of those have third person aiming, or, it could simply go to first person for aiming

I hope like hell the Bows are more like RL and less like medieval 2 (automatic Rapid fire Cross bow)

another thing. when Firing a Bow you must have what they have in the game Team Apache with the Hellfire/Stingers. a Button that allows you to see though the head of the Arrow/Bolt. you could add the Blur to the sides to make it feel like is Hurling though the air In slowmo. whose ever fallen in Souls of Steel with Slowmo on in map editor mode and fallen 3-4-5-6000 Miles in the air?

Man, I miss the blur...
It lags on G5 (or was it Tiger?), so I have to have it turned off

Anyway, arrowhead camera control with blur sounds awesome

Hehe.. I added a strip of ram to my eMac so i could play Wow with my sister (WoW EVIL! Hate it!)

Did i also Mention that there should be Chain-saws in L2?

Oh yea... another thing... In town, you should also be able to create Weaponry, Change its shape, and Blades should also Break and Get Dents. *Imagines Turner stabbing a Guy in plate mail armor between a joint. and attempts to pull it out and instead snaps it*

Oh yea.. will things be able to get stuck into people with the Soft body Physics? and will i be able to cut some ones Rib Cage?

My first attempt at a new weapon:
the exploding carrot!

I think I'm set to go; now to find a guinea pig.
There's one. This oughta be good...

Hey! How come he didn't blow up? I better check this out.

Hmm. Looks OK. Lemme just...what the? Uh-oh, I better get...
AA WW SHHHIIIIIIIIIT!

Remember, kids: Don't try this at home.
Leave it to the experts!

@sectaurs

Those are really cool, but the swords from the right (blue grip) and second from the right (wood grip) have really undetailed pommels... nothing big, but it just kind of bugs me since otherwise they're looking good.

Would be nice if one could throw all the weapons, but some with smaller distances. The katana would be really fun to send flying, and then have like the halberd fly 10 feet?

oh and nice exploding carrot

Throwing a katana? No. Just no.
