Yes this is based on the Ghost from Starcraft.

Here's a gif of the C-20A Canister Rifle in action.

Awesome effect. Almost looks like he's evaporating. Does it kill bigger stuff like dreadnoughts in one hit too?

Could you position emmitters that look like a trail but are really a few spaces behind the weapon and give the effect a low lifetime? (I'm sorry if I sound like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥)

ok well the first thing that I have to say is that we all wont recieve the same amount of lag due to a build up of emitter emissions. We all have different model computers with different sets of hardware.

what is jox's method?

Is there a way to lower the life of the emitted aprticles to lets say, 0, when it is holstered, and then put the life back to whatever it is set to?

Can you mabey if you have the time make one that looks like the one in Starcraft Ghost

You mean a girl?

He mean Nova from Starcraft: Ghost.

Purple, does the blade actually do anything or is it just really, really awesome eye-candy? I don't mind having to fire the knife to kill stuff, but I want to know if there's a better way.

It looks to me like the blade is a constant high damage emitter, like the AK w/ Bayonet concept I'm sure you all remember, and the "fire" is high negative recoil making the blade swing forward.

Let me know how close I am.

Not close at all.

There's a beta in the first post, you know.

Quite frankly, I don't think I am capable of understanding how this works.
I just want to know if there's a better way to use it than pointing and firing and hoping I'm close enough so that it looks like I slashed the enemy.

Damn, I tried anyways. The only reason I haven't downloaded it yet is because I'm waiting for my new card and processor to come in, as the card is failing and my processor could be more powerful. At the moment I can run pretty small skirmishes without CC crashing constantly.

By then this'll be out of beta anyways, purple knows what he's doin'.

And sandrat, you may just have to develop a technique with the thing, as purple shows in the Gifs. Otherwise this would just be a gun.

Yeah like the girl(Nova)

It already is based off Nova from Starcraft Ghost. That's why its the C-20A canister rifle and not the C-10 canister rifle. The gun itself was referenced from Starcraft Ghost concept art, and the actor tries to follow the same colour scheme.

The psyblade is also a weapon from Starcraft Ghost, as normal ghosts don't have access to protoss technology.

Didn't that game get canceled?
It looked pretty cool...
