TheVampire Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 All the weapons I've seen Epoch add have been named after the actual weapons. (M14, M1911, etc) Do you plan to reclass the in-game weapons to rename them after the actual firearms? eg: Sting 9mm > CZ Scorpion Evo 3 P07 9mm > Walther P99 etc Or do you intend to eventually replace them entirely with only epoch items?

Tobias Solem Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think (not sure) that there's a copyright reason why some weapons cannot use their real names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think (not sure) that there's a copyright reason why some weapons cannot use their real names. At least, one would assume. I'd like to see them model a couple more custom weapons though. Been considering getting into modeling and map making lately hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been considering getting into modeling and map making lately hmmm. If there was some sort of copyright worries, I would think they would have used off names for all the new weapons they have added. I'd prefer if they were named after the real weapons, but thought it was odd they were in-between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be manufacturer-related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Jeb Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 The only weapon created so far that is breaking trademark is the Ruger .22, and its in their best interest to rename it to something else like the Mark Two. I also like actual firearm names but Brand names like CZ or Walther are trademarked and therefore cannot be used without permission which means $$. The weapons created by the Epoch team have mostly been named according to their military designations (M107, M14, M1911...) which has no trademark.
