The Weapons of Foreign Legion

Do we have a surprise for you today! Last week we showed you a preview of all the new levels which will be included in the upcoming update. Going on these new and dangerous missions however requires the appropriate gear for the job. Therefore we would like to present “The Weapons of Foreign Legion”. Enjoy!

Nicely done! Looks like when the update comes out, the game will look like a nice, finished game (or merely finished, while we wait for multiplayer :P).

Awesome to see that my fellow Belgians are rolling out an update, but, why didn’t you show off the new weapons on the new maps? Would be nice to see those in action a bit earlier.

AK-47
Dessert Eagle
USP 45
Fn Scar
STG 44

A “Dessert Eagle”? I’ll take the chocolate flavor, please! :P

Anyway, I’m personally very happy about these new weapons - especially the FAMAS! I personally love it (don’t ask why) and use it in every game I can, so thank you, Sakari, for adding another to the list!

It’s gonna be a great week, I can tell - first my birthday, then, two days later, this’ll come out! You’re doing a great job, guys!

By Major Isoor on December 3rd 2009

Actually, here’s a minor suggestion - I know it’s not exactly vital, but I doubt it’ll cause much trouble for you guys, either:

Would it be possible to add an option in the startup options/performance menu (when you start up the game, to chose the graphics quality, etc.) to keep the bodies of the fallen rebels, etc? Since yeah, I know that we’re all aiming to blow them up, to score more points, so there ARE no bodies, but well, there generally are a few headless ones, etc., and I personally think it’d look better that way, seeing as there’s pre-existing bodies of your fellow legionaires

By dirt1996 on December 3rd 2009

Yeah Isoor thats a great idea!  I actually think that would be awesome after a long session.  But these extra weapons are awesome!  Nice vid too!  I am so glad to see that you guys have been making a very substantial update before you go into the mp setup grind!  The dual wield option is nice also.  I cant wait for the update!

btw
You dont need any more weapons after this. Kidflawless, please realize that this is a small group of devs working together.  As in, there are 3 people. You are asking a lot. The game looks awesome, and you are asking for mopre weapons than you can get in L4D2.  This was a seven dollar investment, and i see no reason why they need to add that much stuff so soon.

Actually the first and third post :D

They did look aat the multiplayer, but if you would read the blog more often, you would know that this update is not getting a MP.


Even though I shouldnt and I cant, I still entertain myself with the knowledge that I saw some things coming. Proof http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11076946&postcount=13

This page should get a registering option and a possibility to edit posts…

Oh hey, I’ve got one more little question. (yeah, seem to be full of them today…)

So, you know the customization idea you guys were toying with a little while ago? Well, what exactly do you plan on doing involving that? Like will it come out with the upcoming update, a possible future update, or have you ditched the idea altogether for now? Since I know it’s not really that big a deal, but yeah, I thought I might as well ask, anyway!

Woah, shotgun, PSG-1, dual-wield weapons, FAMAS.

This game is going to rock even more.

One thing guys, one thing.
We aboslutely NEED a P90.

Without doubt the greatest weapon ever made.
And coolest looking too.

Personally, the shotgun and the sniper rifle are my favorite weapons so far. I think you guys will enjoy them a lot!

Sorry guys i asked a little to much. All i want is am AK-47 and a Dessert Eagle. I meant for the multiplayer are you adding a co op option. Also if u can add some multiplayer gameplay.

By Jasien on December 6th 2009

Also .. in the campaign’s levels ... do we have ALL guns ? .. or can we choose what guns we have in each mission and limit it so we can only carry 3 or 4 guns ? =]

By w33n on December 6th 2009

Oh guys, do you think it’ll be possible to have a download for the music?

It kicks so much ass that it’s hard to believe.

By Major Isoor on December 6th 2009

I think that’ll be slightly hard, seeing as it changes depending on the circumstances! :p

By Skarn on December 7th 2009

Man, so cool, 6 new gun! shotgun! dual!
can’t wait!!!

quote Matroska
“but, why didn’t you show off the new weapons on the new maps? Would be nice to see those in action a bit earlier.”

this i think and hope that will be in the next news! well, that’s what i would have done! please a trailer of the new map using the new gun!

here is a sugestion of new weapon we may “need” : mine, remote explosive and grenade! that can be a great add-on.

also, do we start with all weapon or do we have to found or purchase them? or unlock by completing some objectif? or is each campaign got is set of weapon?

well, this is awesome, i love that you kept giving us new thing to talk about, you guys doing great job making this game.  And there is not much bug or glitch, this is great too.

so, kept up the great job, we all love you and long life to FL’BOB!!!

If there will be another update before the release date could you list all the new game modes because me and others would like to know

By w33n on December 8th 2009

@Major Isoor

Well, it IS just 3 loops, after all.
7, if you count the menu, Game Over, Mission Complete and Highscore Screen too.

They all just sound so damn awesome, and it kinda sucks that I have to record it using Audacity (don’t laugh).

haha, anyone seen the new “Buy us a beer” button on the main page of the site? Looks pretty good - our little legionaire taking a break. My only regret is that I don’t have a paypal or anything, otherwise I’d definately buy Sakari a few rounds! :( (I actually had to get half my steam games through other people, and the other half were retail :\ )

By Suomis on December 12th 2009

Did you guys notice the new achievments :P

By Pepijn on December 12th 2009

about the beer button, it seams that we have to comfirm some kind of number that we need to pick up at the bank. So on monday it should work :) . Thanks a a lott already for the attempt and noticing the “problem”.

We are going in the final crunch for the update comming week and are trying to document it a bit on video. Don’t know if we have the time to stick that on vimeo before or on friday. But hopefully we manage :) It would be nice if we could sort of introduce the 5 of us to you guys properly.

PS: thanks for the ongoing support!!!

By Jasien on December 13th 2009

Yeh pepjin ... Introduce your team :D

Something for e.g book authors use is “Meet The Author” You can just make a video about yourselfes .. of course that’s upto you :D

And we’re always here to support you =]

By Major Isoor on December 13th 2009

Well, I guess those achievements answered my questions! Great going, Sakari, at least now I’ll soon be able to rightfully claim that I’m “1337”! I’m very excited now, even more so than before! Great job guys, not many games give me this feeling of anticipation!

gravatar

By dirt1996 on December 13th 2009

A meet the devs would be awesome!! You could record and introduce urselves, and we could respond with videos of ourselves!!!  Cannot wait!!!

gravatar

By Major Isoor on December 14th 2009

Oh hey, was just looking through the achievements and it still says the conditions for “Foreign Legionair” is to “beat the GAME on veteran difficulty” - maybe it should be changed to something like “complete a mission on the veteran difficulty” - unless you plan on globally resetting that one for those who have it, so we have to beat them all to get it

By Merlijn on December 14th 2009

Thanks for the great support, guys. Its promising to be a very exciting week for all of us!

Its amazing how quick you guys found the new achievements. It makes us very happy to have such a wonderful community. :)

By Merlijn on December 15th 2009

For those who tried to donate but received an error message? “Buy Us A Beer” should work perfectly now. :)

Hey could you maybe release some screens and update the site?  This is the 40th comment, and an update would be nice.

No worries Idahojoe, another site update is coming real soon. Along with the actual game update, of course!
