Yeah, i saw a preview or something today...
And it had the MRS138 Tactical Shotgun and the RS8 Pistol!

Discuss =D

I want pictures and videos of this first, if you please.

What is left 4 dead? They got no right to use ballistic weapons without permission.

Please offer screenshots/links to this. I tried to find some, but I couldn't . If those truly are RS's weapons, I think there might be a problem...

Its this Co-Op Zombie survival game using the Source engine (like Portal, valve found these guys and brought them to work under them).

All right, now hold on a minute.

Ballistic Weapons cannot make any claims of design copying and whatnot with regards to Redshift's weapons. There's a good chance that all of them inspired by or almost direct copies of existing weapon designs (barring the HVC of course). We've already established that the SRS900 is an M14, and the XRS-10 is a .40 full-auto Intratec DC-9. The MRS138 looks like a Remington shotgun with a foregrip and no stock, and I'm sure the RS8 is based off some 9mm pistol.

Unless they specifically call it an RS8 or MRS138 and give it the same chrome finish and features (like laser-sights and tazers), then they're doing nothing wrong.

EDIT: I doubt they've even heard of Ballistic Weapons, much less copy its weapons.

I know. Thats why I'd like to see more into this.

Yeah, i'm kinda guessing design wise that the fact those 2 are based off real guns makes it easy for this kind of thing to happen.

In the end, thread fails.

I want to see that video, it would determine if this is a design similarity or a rip from BW.

I just watched a couple of vids on youtube, and while I saw a shotgun and a pistol, they sure as hell weren't from BW...

Here's a preview video I watched.

The shotgun shown is just a Remington with no butt-stock. It's obvious both it and the MRS138 have similar inspirations, but there's no way you could call one a copy of the other. The RS8 and the handgun (shown near the end) don't even look like they came from the same gun.

This game looks hot as hell though. I'll definitely be watching this more closely

Well, then we got nothing to worry about here.

ok.. if they just look similar to those guns we made, then it's cool.. if they used OUR content though, thats bad..

since it looks like their own stuff, then it's all good here

Yeah, these aren't BW weapons. They really didn't even look like them.

I checked the trailer off Steam.

way to give off info with no proof =D

HeH...
Sorry, couldent find anything...
And i dont mean they stole the stuff from BW, i mean they look like the BW weps...
But the shotgun looks pretty much the same...
And the guns are just kinda simmiliar...

K, well, i sux lol

its cool, dont worry about it
left for dead looks like a cool game though, and if some of their weps were inspired by bw then good for RS

Yes you are (dont take it seriously)
Still game looks like a lot of fun.

yeah the zombies climb and jump over cars and fences very realistically, they really look like they want to go straight to you as fast as they can and they won't stop untill they reach you.

Well its no wonder, the RS8 pistol looks very much like an older Smith & Wesson .40 cal pistol (400 series), and the MRS138 looks like a mix between an Ithaca M37 "Stakeout" and the Mossberg M500 combat shotguns (mostly the Mossberg).
