WIP replacement page

I've got a work-in-progress replacement Link Gun page at User:Nereid/Link Gun. Go ahead and keep adding to this page; I'll take information from here and put it in the new one as I see fit. You can also comment on the new version on the discussion page; that page will be a model for all weapon pages. —Nereid talk 16:21, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

I've now moved the new page in. Have fun. —Nereid talk 23:59, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

Pulse Blaster

Typing "Pulse Gun" or "Pulse rifle" takes me to this page. The UT instruction manual labels the weapon as "Pulse Blaster." -N1ghtmare 21:26, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

We are going to have the Pulse Gun and the Link Gun on the same page. I've never heard of a Pulse Blaster. —Nereid talk 14:26, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

It sounded familiar, so I dug up my game's box (original, big and shiny Euro version) and manual, and it definatily says "Pulse Blaster" in there in the weapons section. Retodon8 15:19, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

That might be appropriate for a trivia section I suppose. I wonder if it's the same in the US versions? At any rate, we are using the name that is in the game. --Sir Brizz 15:25, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

Stuff about yourself

Please don't write stuff like "In my own experience". Image a random person reading the article, thinking: "Whose experience???" The wiki is supposed to read like an encyclopedia.

Also it's best to avoid making any notes in the actual article. I'm referring to "(Add more specifics, like damage done by pulse beam???)". That's what this Talk page is for. :) Thanks! Retodon8 15:19, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

We are not entirely excited about how that section is written overall, to be honest :) --Sir Brizz 15:25, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

UT3 Secondary Link Beam Damage

Could we get an exact value for the secondary damage per second? GreatEmerald seems to think it's not 110, but it's also likely not 11 either, so I've replaced it with an unknown until we can get something resembling a concrete value. --Dark Pulse 04:01, 2 November 2008 (EST)

Actually, those parameters in other games are written also not HP/s, but simply a number. Like, UT2004 has "9", and basically that's what the Damage parameter is in the code. But no idea how much is it per second. A setting of "11" should work nicely when remaking the UT3 LinkGun (Which I did yesterday :D), but of course neither of these values mean hitpoints per second. So other games have strange values too. --GreatEmerald 04:38, 2 November 2008 (EST)
