Apparently you've never actually seen some of these weapons in other games or in real-life. They look like shit.
Do any of the mods alter the models so they aren't all left handed? Do they now eject brass on the correct side of the weapon? It's also sad that a mod has to be downloaded and installed to fix them. And BTW, it's not a licensing problem. Their likenesses are pretty much public domain since they can be seen out in public. You can see them carried by law enforcement agencies around the globe, in news reports, gun stores, etc. Licensing the correct names is another matter which they seem to have taken care of because many of them have the correct names in the game. The Desert Eagle, the HK USP, etc. are all correctly named.
None of them are named correctly unless you install mods. Desert Eagle is Black Kite, and USP is UDP Compact. Why is that sad? Because they wanted to make sure they don't get sued over something stupid like licenses?
I don't remember them being named incorrectly. You could be right or a mod I installed may have fixed it. I don't know, I haven't played any of those games in some time. Regardless, it's sad because the guns look like shit and I shouldn't have to install a mod to fix that. I don't mind the names being wrong, but the guns being modeled backwards and textured badly bothers me quite a bit. Oh, the calibers being wrong for a lot of the weapons like a .45 caliber Desert Eagle bugs the SHIT out of me.
bullshit
1st of all there is no Desert Eagle in STALKER
2nd even if there was, it's a fucking Zone, with monsters and such you know
how hard is to imagine rechambering the gun to what ever ammunition is available

Also Dan, if you read that page it says that these are most likely custom ones that are made to use .45ACP since it is more abundant in the Zone. Makes sense to me.
That's more or less how the gun is in the game too.
It wouldn't make sense to take a crappy gun that's best use as a range toy and do a bunch of machine work to give it a new .45ACP barrel and a new bolt, magazines etc. just so you could carry around a gun that's likely too big for your hands and has other ergonomic failings. I love my Desert Eagle, but when evaluated outside of it's natural state and purpose, it leaves a lot to be desired. As a practical weapon nearly anything else in my arsenal is better.

Terrible gun models? Are we playing different games?
They have to partially alter them due to not having licenses for them though. Just get a mod to fix it...
I second this. Valve + Stalker IP would be amazing. And they could ditch that godawful source engine and beef up/stabilize the X-Ray engine.Dear Gabe, instead of buying Giant Football Helmets full of cottage cheese this week please buy the Stalker IP and studio and fund them for the next 5 years. Seriously, Their entire budget per game is what like a weeks worth of cheese burgers at Valve? I know youd been thinking about building that life size mecha-godzilla this weekend but these guys could really use a couple bucks.

And what you think the gauss gun is shooting?
It sounds great at first,but given their track record with HalfLife 3,how many of us would still be around by the time they finish it?
Dan, you realize we're talking about a GAME, right? A GAME with mutants and waves of destruction that rampage across the land killing everything not safely hidden in a sturdy place..
What the hell is the problem with things being slightly off? Seriously? Thats probably one of the weakest bitches I've ever seen. It's not supposed to be realistic, or there wouldnt be mutants and waves of red death romping all over the zone. You would be walking around empty land looking at tiny pockets of radiation that might kill you if you stand in them for a few years straight..
The weapons are also not named correctly unless you install a mod (All of the complete mods change the names of weapons to be as accurate as possible). Except the Russian/Soviet weapons, most of those are correct (PMM, AK, etc)
