Wow, those are impossibly bad.

Goldeneye isn't bad, I could do some work as I have it emulated, but no rush or anything.

PDZ is also not a bad choice, the guns in that one are fairly simple. I don't know if I can screen grab anything on that though.

EDIT:

WHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTT?

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Cross_Fire
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Soldier_Front
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Revolution_X

That last one is a fuckin' mess.

Wow, not sure how I missed Cross Fire. Soldier Front at least has a list of weapons [it's about as much as there was in the Far Cry article before I started on it] and I believe MPM has said the Einhander article is ok because it's written to a relatively good standard even if the content isn't exactly right for this Wiki, plus that at least some of the weapons are based on real ones. I didn't look at Revolution X that closely, and...wow. I never realised a firepower increase powerup was a type of gun.

Why do people even bother making arcade pages like Revolution X???

I can easily pick out an HK P9, S&W 629C (I think that's what it's called) revolver, a Steyr TMP, an MP5, an Uzi, a P90, a CAR-15 with an M203, a Type-56, an M60, a FAMAS-inspired plasma-rifle, and a stockless SPAS-12.

I saw a stainless Glock and a P99 for the first pistols. The Shockwave rifle is a Vektor CR-21, the SuperDragon IS a G36! The Magsec is an Auto-9.

I think there should be some sort of rule where you can't make a page unless you take the time to screencap
That way we won't have pages like this>

Seriously this would literally eliminate all those crappy pages and it would deter those people who come in and spend 3 seconds on a page and run off.

I disagree. Even if the page doesn't have screencaps, it can still be useful if (A.) The editor took the time to ID the guns and describe which characters use them, and (B.) If it's in proper format. Remember, the purpose of this site is to ID guns, and while pages without screencaps aren't preferable, they still have some useful function. Plus, the user still put SOME effort into them.

What I do hate - and what I continue to delete - are pages where the user obviously did only put 5 seconds into it. I've seen pages that feature nothing but a quick list of the guns used in the movie, without ANY description whatsoever of which characters used them, or gun photos, or page links. That is definitely laziness of a high order, and I don't tolerate that.

Screencapping Atlantis right now. That movie rules.

One of the few Disney animated flicks I can still stand to watch (no musical breaks to hate!).

I could tell the girl was using a C96 Broomhandle Mauser even when I was 11 and it kind of bugs me how the guy voiced by Tommy Lee Jones uses a Luger P08 and pulls the toggle directly back to cock it, instead of pivoting it up like it should. I remember the diggers also had a collection of SMLE rifles.

I personally Agree with MT2008. I have several videos on VHS that i can't screencap. With those I can either not make the page or I can make the best page I can and then see if i can find it on DVD or blu-ray and send the disk to GM45.

That being said as "Kiss of the Dragon" is being worked on by Excaliber. I am calling Dibs on the future page for the film "Nemisis".While I can't currently screencap the page I can at least get the boxcover art and put in the links and pictures.

I fixed it for you.
