The great weapon debate? You decide! A recent update mentioning the return of the Flak Cannon and ASMD for the sequel to Unreal being called Unreal2 right now isnt as set in stone as you'd think. The villagers are raising hell in the forums and well, here this post should explain (Thanks Adam & Blues) what's up with those weapons in the Unreal sequel.

Okay, I know I'm going to catch hell for saying this, but I'm not going to let this one slide, otherwise misinformation will spin things out of control and make us look worse in the end. Without trying to throw a slam at our PR people or anything, I'll merely say that Mr. Frary should have consulted us before making his statement. The ASMD/Flak issues were in discussion between Legend, Epic, and Infogrames well before the topic was even brought up here on these forums. I'm not saying that we're ignoring the fanbase here or anything (we're certainly not), but by the same token, we've been considering these issues for some time now.

That said, the ASMD and Flak cannon *MAY* make it into U2, and the current trend in our discussions (which may have led Mr. Frary to jump to a conclusion here) is that they will... but this is not carved in stone. [snip]

As we've learned in the past, game designers use carving stones for final decisions, and that hasnt occurred just yet. update: Looks like it is now CARVED IN STONE!!!
