You are a moron, a rifle is like any bow.  Did you ever play Warcraft 3 ? Did you notice how the riflemen were a tad weaker than the footmen ? This was for a reason.  There is nothing wrong with guns because they are derived from the smithing of the dwarves and the tinkering of the gnomes.

Guns may be suck to you and you might as well scold magics as they are also ranged.They both same in some ways,idiot.

That's what I said, a gun is no different than your average bow! and some bows might be better than rifles! Reguardless this game is going to be awesome.

Val you need to take a chill pill that over reacting over such miner things ends up getting you shot in the future.

 Well just fyi the medieval era lasted from 800 to 1400 and the first handcannons were used by Edward III's army in battle during the 1300s so i think that means that they are medieval so i dont see how it makes it lose its theme at all.

Ok Killrog did you play Warcraft 3 ? I mean there were tons of dwarvish/gnomish weaponry and that didn't take any of the medieval aspect away.

yeah lets see hmm out of 9 fighting units the humans could use 4 of them were influinced by dwarven or gnomish inventions... riflemen had guns, steam engine had guns, mortar team had explosives, and gyrocopter dropped bombs.

i don't see how you can find handcannons so offensive but you don't seem to care about the gigantic suits with circle blades on the hands that are used to harvest lumber.  if you are going to complain so much at least pick something reasonable to complain about.  it seems like you haven't ever played a warcraft game before.

You should post some arguments instead of just posting "Guns suck, so do Gnomes" It isnt really anything you can build on.

Yeah there isn't really anything to enforce his point.

To also add to keeping in the medieval times. The Chinese had gun power, and also turks had hand cannoneers that could use "rifles". By no means as powerful as todays guns but yes they did have them

Yeah. I'd love to know if you've played any Warcraft games, Krillog. I think you should rethink what you said. It was a load of crap. Suriously. Also keep in mind that this isn't Earth.

Ok, ok, there's no need to get hostile... the main point here is that Blizzard has spent years and years perfecting their vision of Azeroth and its limitations.  Put some faith in a company you trust to stay true to their own vision and you'll be fine.  Plus, gnomish submarines ROCK! ;)

I believe the dwarves created guns for the overly obese dorfs that could no longer fight

I belive that the gnomes invented the guns for the dwarves, or am i wrong?

Dwarves are better warriors and minors, but you need to realize their rifles are CRUDE.

They probably shoot rocks, and I wouldn't be suprised if they got jammed or backfired....heheh...that'd be hilarious... "Your mine <insert another player name in pvp>!" Ka-put! "...Dammit.."

They invented guns purely so they could compensate for their small size in combat.  And also to look this cool (see above).  =)

The pieces of modern stuff are a part of WarCraft, in WarCraft 2 there were Oil Refineries and Gyrocopters.. thats not very pure medieval. And indeed they allready used guns in 1300.. or something like that. Tanks, Gyrocopters, Mortar.. all WarCraft, its humor I think.
(btw, love the chaingun pic)
