A rail gun is typically sci fi stuff, but those exist in real life too. Apparently it's an experimental weapon here.

It's a very high velocity weapon that uses electromagnetism to fire a round.

A military weapon that doesn't require a firing hammer/pin and fires projectiles through the air using electromagnetism. And if I remember correctly, Rockstar said it'll have explosive rounds.

It's a new death machine designed to kill in all new ways, in the game it's a smaller version.

Maybe a little too sci-fi for my liking. I expect it will be a new troll weapon of choice.

That sucks, still not enough for me to spend £400 for the game though

It's in BF4's next DLC. So you can see it in action on there, I'm sure it'll be the same general idea.

IF they do it realistic the rounds will be dirt cheap. A railgun fires just a formed piece of metal. it's cheap. And IF they do it realistic it will be like a super-heavy-sniper needing long reload times but ridiculous fire power in one shot.

 

And i really like the idea, it's not SciFi as some people said, it's actually very simple technology in terms of the principle. Just moving something with magnets, we can do that since the first electric engine which was invented when ? 185x?

It's just increasing the energy. The principle is the same as with floating-magnet-trains, just with more energy and a lot smaller Train (bullet).

It's more a near-future-technology.

To be fair... That's not exactly the same weapon. It's not like saying The AK-47 is in BF4 too, so this is what it'll be like. The Rail Gun in video games are pretty much fictional, as the real life Rail Guns are massive & still really prototypes.

 

But yes, it will be similar...lol

I think you mean £1060 to get a PC that's actually capable of running a new game at a playable frame rate, but even then, it will become obsolete in a few weeks.

If this bad boy is a one shot kill for both players and vehicles (including tanks), a good ammo amount would be around 10.

Nope. I mean a decent PC that costs (almost :) ) the same as PS4/XB1 that will defeat both consoles in performance.

Sorry to say, but there is literally no PC in existence for the same price as a PS4 and beats it in performance. That's a cold hard fact. However, one thing that would beat the PS4 for the same price overall is the CPU, and not by a HUGE margin. That's literally all. GPU? NOPE. Not even close. You have to keep in mind of the cost of the motherpoard, PSU and etc.

 

But if you wanna compare the prices of games and the steam sale? There isn't even any competition. PC is like a dream in terms of pricing.

It will be extremely powerful, it's using magnetic rail tech (or whatever the term is). If they limit the ammo count and make ammo expensive though, it won't be a problem. Something like carrying a max of 10 magnetic bullets and each one costing like $5000 - $10 000 each.

Arnold had to protect Vanessa Williams in the movie Eraser (which wasn't that bad of a movie), and that film used Railguns. I don't know if it was accurate but it sure looked incredible

I hope it's like the Railgun from Halo 4, over-powered but somehow it feels balanced.

 

Also did anyone notice that Michael was wearing a balaclava in that preview image? Are they finally gonna make them wearable in Free-Roam?

Well, they kinda already are, in a way. Since they added the Interaction menu to SP, you can change glasses, hats & masks in free roam now. So if you're wearing a costume that has a balaclava, you can take it off or put it on that way...

 

But yeah, hope they add it in a proper sense though.

Um, Michael can't wear hats manually.

400 dollars/euros PC will not beat a PS4 in performance. The best it can get is on-par, or a tiny bit faster.

This is the only thing that comes to my mind when I think about a "railgun"
