Talk:Aliens vs. Predator 2

Should this page even be here? It has no real firearms, there all fictional. --FirearmsNewbie 11:10, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I think so. Assuming it has the same guns as in the movies (can't tell as the page is incomplete) then at least the pulse rifle, flamethrower and smartgun (same as sentry gun) are all built on real weapons. Also, just at a glance the pistol seems to be based on a Mark 23. --commando552 18:29, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

The Aliens movie was included here on this wiki along with its fictional firearms, since they were made with parts of real firearms. I'm sure the mods wouldn't mind seeing digital representations of those same firearms from this game, and from what I can tell some of the weapons not from the movie are based off of real-life ones as well. --Mazryonh 18:32, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Aliens the film has obvious proof that the actual weapons were real blank-firing weapons visually modified for the production. The same cannot be said for the majority of the weapons seen in this videogame. Thus, it will be subject to deletion. --Ben41 18:45, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

So, we're butting up against another grey area, hmm? Fictional firearms in films are fine if they're made of real-life firearm parts, but digital representations of those same weapons aren't? I'm surprised that the mods haven't already struck down pages like the Metro 2033 Kalash 2012 then, even though it "could well be a real weapon" despite having no real-life props. I'd still like to make my case before MPM2008 though. I've already finished uploading images and text of the weapons in this game that have direct counterparts in Aliens, so let's see if the other mods think the page is worth keeping just for those. --Mazryonh 20:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
