Well I would like to see more exotic weapons like whip,scythe,double-edged swords or axes and maces, or some polearms,tridents thing like that.

They must remove most of weapons that are not suitable for some characters like Noob's hammer and replace some swords and knifes for some players.

Twin Halberds. "Xiao Shou Ji". I'm too lazy to show what they look like.

They're short halberds. Two of them. One in each hand. Ancient weapon. Popular in China around 200 CE.

And someone needs a laser gun. That would just be awesome.

Unusable, thats far most the stupidest concept of a weapon anyone could have invented. No apparent reason to block the cross-steel, no ricasso, no
edge, piercing is thrown out the window thanks to the bulge at the tip.

Most probably dual-weld axes, for chinese makes no semantic differentia-tion between halberd and axe. Essentially like the Dao refers to a knife, or the Dao wide-bladed saber (and not broadsword)

German bidenhander (both hand sword) weld in traditional armour oppo-sing style.



A badly executed English Unicorn-stance, though the pic shows off the toal length and weigth of the subject weapon. Handling is incorrect, one hand would have to be placed on the blades upper part for grasp.



The completely polished weapon with the goofballs that is itás owner, and me handling the monstrosity.

the one I possess is slightly shorter and it is not a bidenhander, but an actual langschwert (longsword, hand-and-a-half sword).

chrome,as to what you thought about the pic....lol it was a quick thing put together just to give an idea of what i was talking about...i was just looking for original weapon ideas dude...no need to say its stupid,just state that you dont like it rather than put it down....im sure if i took time out i could make that one weapon in the pic a lot better....but anyways thanx for your opinion and as for blocking the blade...the two pieces on the handle are blades aswell....maybe if i aim them out it would work better or seeing it as concept...they could fold and lock...the tip of the blade i agree i dont like it myself lol

No.

Bless the God for my minimal understanding of melee weapons, but no. If they decided to go with the emulation of actual martial arts, then stick to the "status regenti".

heh, blades on the cross-hilt? Several reasons why it does not work:
-a longsword is generally sharpened only at the blades last 1/3th.
-renders the use of the sword as a military pick (mordhau, mordschlag
techniques) useless.
-several techniques incorporate half-sword fighting where you grasp the
strong (the part of the blade nearest to the hilt is called "strong", the end
of the blade and the tip which are generally sharpened is called "weak")
-all cuts are generally more effciient on the blades tip. Such swords were
rather striking weapons, than slicers. Slicers are per example sabers, a
longsword like that "hits" through the flesh, and does not cut it.
-disarming techniques of the Fiori school are forgettable with added bull-
dung decoration like that.
-the mchanical folding and locking is unengineerable ons words. renais-sance parry daggers did have foldable sideblades, but they are a comple-tely other story.

-and the longsword, under any circumstance is weld by two hands in the most cases.

Search for actual weapons, not some fantasy mish-mash. It is more hor-rible when someone actually told me the buckler should be strapped on the forearm.
