I agree! Perfect name!
RE: Weapon names STEP 2 - contributing names - vede - 04-19-2010
After letting the name "Xonotic" stew in my head for a few days, I couldn't stop myself from changing it to "Xonotus," like some sort of... something.
I, being a bit of a fan for taking random sounds and appending words like "cannon", "bomb", "launcher" or whatever else to them, thought of the name "Xonotus cannon" for a weapon like the Crylink or maybe the Electro. They look like they might be firing some sort of strange alien substance, and Xonotus sounds like an alien substance, and HEY, I heard you guys were down with plugging the game name into the weapon names here and there.

Laser - Laser (It's fine the way it is.)
Shotgun - Shotgun (Again, I see no reason to change)
Uzi / Machinegun - Machine Gun (Once again, Nexuiz doesn't own the names)

Crylink - Cynik (SIE-nik)
Electro - Plasmortar
Hagar - Babylon
Rocket launcher - Rocket Launcher
Nex gun - Xyex (pronounced TSI-ex)

OK, so I didn't base it on the Hagar, I used the Minstanex instead. Download for your own dose of failure:

For some reason the forum attachment system failed on this. Maybe it took the content too seriously?

I like this idea. A fire-spewing BFG called Phoenix would fit Xonotic perfectly. Just as Nexuiz had the Nex, Xonotic would have the Phoenix.

Valgrind
Crawler
Cynik

Electro - CERL (Cold Electron Ray Launcher)
Nex gun - Railer | PAR (Particle Accelerator Rifle)
RE: Weapon names STEP 2 - contributing names - AnArKiSt - 06-08-2010
Crylink: Please keep it. I love that name too much. (What inspired that name, anyways?)
RE: Weapon names STEP 2 - contributing names - Roanoke - 06-08-2010
The mortar is not a mine launcher exclusively.

RE: Weapon names STEP 2 - contributing names - lopho - 06-11-2010
nex -> ox (the big bad OX) or whatever.
is there a gun deserving the title "BFG"? (duke -> big fucking gun, dunno, but i think i was called that way in q3 as well)
RE: Weapon names STEP 2 - contributing names - XV22 - 06-11-2010
TVR suggested:
Nex - Xion
I think it's good.
RE: Weapon names STEP 2 - contributing names - Fisume - 06-11-2010
It's at least better than Xon.
RE: Weapon names STEP 2 - contributing names - Fjant - 06-12-2010
Nex gun - Tic (from the Xonotic) would be Player got Tic'ed by Fjant
RE: Weapon names STEP 2 - contributing names - Grasshopper - 06-12-2010
red cap : could be used for nex or rl . depending on the weapon strength , red cap could define the weapon most used and most deadly as > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redcap .
in short , a mythological dwarf known to quickly kill an enemy invading its territory and dipping its hair/head in the blood of its victims . oooh
crylink : why do i think kidney killer , maybe harpie because its as annoying :p
hagar: van hagar .... rofled . maybe flare gun because of its new secondary in Xonotic . wich is useful . or flak , the military term . it kinda acts like that type of weapon . the anti assualt gun , anti assh*&# gun ha
electro : someone mentioned tesla wave or something along that line . it stuck with me
mortar : youve got mail
AGG arch grenade gun ? machinegun : machine gun :/ , nails gun ( saw nailer earlier )
