I dont quite get what you are saying, my point was that SF weaponry is actually quite ugly. PR devs would do better remodelling them.

I'm saying you missed the context of page 2 of the thread from the top, one of the posters said why not just remake all the sf guns or copy em so he wouldnt have to go buy sf, then we talked about the legality of it (illegality maybe?) and then debated a bit on how to get around not being able to put any of the weapons in PR mod - it would kinda limit the weapons PR could put in if it cant use something simple like the G36 or P90
On a side note: you know what? theres like 4 variants of the G36 in BF2, and NONE of em are the full G36 with the builtin scope... I'd never even heard of the G36E (medic gun) - and yet the vastly better G36 full isnt in BF2 - turns out the E variant is custom orderd for Spain - nobody else uses it, when half the military organizations that use a G36 variant use the full version...

Of course PR can do any weapon they like. The copyright aint on the weapons (well there probably is, but PR aint gonna make the actual weapon and send it to us, although it would be pretty sweet to receive a G36 in the mail

), its on the specific models SF use. I've been debating that its illegal to take resources from SF. Not to remake them.

To clarify here. EA have stated that we can use any of the unlocks or SF weapons. We just have to model, texture, animate, code and make sounds for them ourselves.

Yeah, BF2 did go a bit awry with their g36's and their names. I thought all g36's not exported were equiped with a 3x scope, while all exported versions were given a 1.5x scope.
