Kel-Tec keeps winning in the based department.

making the sub2k into a snub doesnt make it any better
>>65555956>Kel-Tec goes bankrupt after sued by MicrosoftThat wasn't on my bingo card
>>65555956Its a teaching device regarding length of pole on PPCs, I heard. It'll spray you with gas until you pay for that SBR license.
>>65555987Well actually they'd be getting sued by Activision since they own Halo now
>>65555956>It's just a bottom-fed machine pistolBoo, you can do better than that. Figure out a side-feeding caseless design.
>>65555991Parody law applies here. Activision would have to prove that they are actually representing themselves as owners or purveyors of TM'd, R'd or C'd material. This is a parody of a character not expressly described or represented as "Masterchief" or a Halo Universe "Spartan" and thus they're free to use the image. If they had the above mentioned text or Halo or any other term ripped straight from the games, it might open them up to liability. For better or worse, I have to deal with this shit all the time in my job and with images like this, it's very difficult to prove intent and so very few attorneys are going to recommend you sue over it since it'll likely end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars just to lose or get a summary judgement that says "hey Keltec, take it down." Best they can do is send a C&D and Keltec will just ignore it. Keltec's attorney's probably begrudgingly approved this image.
>>65555962Mr. Kellgren, please make a sub 2000 in .22 wmr that uses PMR30 magazines.Please. Thank you.
>>65555972Covenant sympathizer
>>65556027>sir, the character is more closely resembling an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper>but hes dual wielding which ODST were incapable of>therefore its unrelated to your propertiesLawsuit won with game mechanics. Also I assume "finishing this fight" is legally distinct from "finish the fight" which they do have protection in place for.
>>65555956>Be ancient as hell>Old enough to retire>STILL KEEP DESIGNING>Own own company to produce guns>They're always out of stockLiving the dream
>>65556028Dude imagine if he designed a sub 2000 in .30SC. or better yet a plr30
>>65555991Activision is a subsidiary of Xbox, and thus Microsoft, dummy.
>>65556053>Also I assume "finishing this fight" is legally distinct from "finish the fight" which they do have protection in place for.Small issue. "[...] finishing this fight." is also the line they end Halo 2 on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bUjJr5Jc6o
>>65556070Ah, so it is. I genuinely thought they were owned by Tencent or whatever that Chinese mega gaming conglomerate is called
>>65556079I dont think dialogue is protected just by use. Finish The Fight was used in promos and such. >what compelled you do try to use memorable lines from our product?>"Oh I know what the ladies like"
>>65556096The $75.4 Billion acquisition of ABK (Activision Blizzard King) by Xbox in 2023 was a pretty big deal. We've kinda been stuck in a resulting mess it caused for a while now.In case you were wondering, Asha Sharma, the current CEO of Xbox after Phil Spencer got canned for essentially sleeping on the job, is in a panic trying to unfuck the mess she got put in charge of. It is not going well.https://aftermath.site/microsoft-xbox-layoffs-halo-activision/https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/09/22/continuing-our-reset/
>>65556112Ah, I knew Xbox wasn't doing so hot but I didn't know it was going this bad. Jesus Christ
>>6555611915 years of ousting the people responsible for the 360's initial success, Phil Spencer jacking off and playing Destiny in his office all day, and massively overspending on acquisitions only to draw the baleful eye of daddy Microsoft have led us to this. What's so frustrating about it is the amount of people who couldn't see the obvious writing on the wall or even championed the decisions that got us here.Now it's up to a former AI company exec to steer a ship that's been in the rocks for her entire adult life. Pay no attention to the fact that she is swerving even harder into said rocks.
>>65556147It could be worse, they could be in Sony's shoes right now
>>65556152>>65556147Too big to fail. Government said so!
>>65556154MICROSOFT is too big to fail. Xbox is just their games division, and that shit exists in a market that's so tangential to shit that actually matters to the economy that is gonna be one of the first things to collapse when the global economy really starts to tank.>>65556152Sony and Xbox are in a stalemate as far as the shoot-yourself-in-the-foot contest is going if you ask me.
>>65555962God bless him.
>>65555962Does he exclusively lurk in the "/k/ makes a gun" threads stealing our ideas?
>>65556173Clearly not since KelTec has yet to release a bullpup PDW chambered in 410 bore.
>>65556028sure, and while im at it, ill make one that shoots the confidence to ask that girl out too
>>65555956Nobody likes Gaylo anymore unc
>>65556249Good thing I dont rely on the opinions of others to dictate what I enjoy in life.
>>65555956Still waiting for a da/sa triple stack mag .30 super carry from them
>>65556320How good can keltec make sa?
>>65555972but does it make it worse?
>>65556189>bullpup PDW chambered in 410 bore.Fuuuuck I didn't expect to read nonsense words strung together into a mishmash sentence that made so much sense to me today
>>65556585Engineers don't want you to know this, but if you just string enough design terms together, you will eventually end up with a novel idea.
Is Kel-tec the only actual American firearms company? As in they design and manufacture their own models rather than producing knockoffs?
>>65556249yellow tools bad
Halo mattered 20 years ago.You are old and nearing the grave.
>>65556493It doesnt have to be good it just has to be cool, that said they have THE best .308 bullpup on the market, however thin that pool is they still have the best
>>65556740>You are old and nearing the grave.As is everyone, but my youth was superior to yours.
>>65556634Hipoint and kel-tec is literally all there is fod 100% american guns
>>65556740To be fair all of the shooters relevant in the 2020s are gay and lame
>>65556112Wow, Mia Khalifa’s career really took a turn there didn’t it?
>>65555956suprising given the street price of cocaine at the moment.
>>65556112Xbox was only relevant because of Halo and maybe a few other exclusives like Gears of War and neither have been relevant since the first half of the 2010s.
>>65556770>Xbox was only relevant because of Halo and maybe a few other exclusivesNo fucking shit. That is how you sell a fucking console ideally; strong exclusives throughout its lifespan with robust third party support to fill in the gaps between those flagship titles. Xbox decided to sabotage their ability to do all that in lieu of pivoting to Game Pass and continued to be the same money-sink they have been since their inception. Seriously, there hasn't been a single profitable year for Xbox since its inception.>and neither have been relevant since the first half of the 2010sAgain, no shit. You are preaching to the converted here.>>65556753>Mia KhalifaYou ever seen her OnlyFans? It's all softcore semi nude shit, but she talked so much shit about the porn industry once she left that she'd be even bigger laughing stock if she went back to doing b/g content. Sad shit indeed.
>>65556249Fag
>>65556053>Lawsuit won with game mechanics.This conversation reminds me of the PUBG lawsuit where one of the sticking points was frying pans and dudes started tweeting at the developer with images of frying pans in TF2 almost a decade earlier.
>>65556740Zoomer here, just beat Halo 3 recently and it was awesome. Played all 3 in a row and they were all fantastic(even if 2 drags on a bit). If you weren't a retard you'd play them and understand why they are so beloved
>>65556795Time to boot up ODST and and Reach next lil nigga
>>65556770>Playstation was only relevant because of Final Fantasy and maybe a few other exclusives like Uncharted and neither have been relevant since the first half of the 2010s.
>>65556809I mean Sony did have a somewhat robust lineup of exclusives until recently and subsequently blew Xbox out of the water for a decade.
>>65556815Yes, and now everything is shit.
>>65556809Not him but I want you to tell me what FF you think was relevant in the first half of the 2010s.
>>65556800That's the plan, just tryna find time. ODST was my first halo when I was a kid tho and I also got Reach later(older zoomer)
>>65555956This actually makes me miss my sub2k until I remembered it literally fell apart after shooting some m1152 through it.
>>65556820>Yes, and now everything is shit.Yeah, and it's complicated to explain as to why. Suffice it to say Sony is retarded and needs actual competition to make good business decisions, otherwise you get retarded nonsense like making all their first party titles movie games with MCU writing or ending production of physical discs for games because they want to lock every customer into a digital ecosystem they control.
>>65556842it's not that complicated. game consoles compete with exclusives but multiplat games are dominant because they are now a hell of a lot easier to make. so now sony and MS have to do the work themselves but they're kind of shit at it because they solve problems by throwing money at them and this just doesn't work consistently when you are dealing with creative works.in sony's case it's also an open secret that they think their western customers are dumb waito piggus (see: the emoji movie)
>Sonyok>Sony but Western gamesFuck no, never touched them
>>65556871Wut this niggy talkim bou
>>65556857>in sony's case it's also an open secret that they think their western customers are dumb waito piggus (see: the emoji movie)It doesn't help that their games division caught the live service bug and pretty much torched all of their subsidiary studios trying to realize a lie sold to them by Bungie of all people. I say this as somebody who liked Destiny and desperately wanted to like Destiny 2, but holy fuck Sony Interactive's leadership is stupid if they thought any of that was profitable enough to justify trying to replicate it.
>>65556809I also unironically agree with this. There hasn't been a game worth buying since like 2014
>>65556881>I also unironically agree with this. There hasn't been a game worth buying since like 2014Do you just not look at anything besides sports games and AAA shooters or something?
>>65556888Name the game thenIf you mention some nintendie or rollslop garbage im going to laugh
>>65556888>"if you dig through the trash, theres totally hidden gems!">will not say what any of them areIts tranime games isnt it, you play tranime games and act like its better than niggerball 2027 or call of duty 15
>>65556894>name a game, but if it's one I don't like for whatever arbitrary reason, I'm going to laugh>>65556896You can't keep hating stuff just because it's Japanese man. It's not healthy.
>>65556907
>>65556896>Its tranime games isnt it, you play tranime games and act like its better than niggerball 2027 or call of duty 15ThisBut also Halo is 100% in the same category as niggerball 2027 or call of duty 15. Ball & Gun Gamers are a cancer and a cancer experiencing just comeuppance. GTA is also here.
>>65556916I would argue the classic Halo games still have more merit given they aren't purely extensions of other hobbies like every ball and gun game, even if they do share some overlap in audience.
>>65556601It is true that any design starts from spitballing but the>EventuallyIs the catch that got most wishful thinkers in the balls.Sound engineering is to find and bake the golden ones among a billion possible word salads before the cash and time ran out and everyone point and laught at your failure. To avoid such fate of being selective breeded out of the society, the many ideas, the children of mind, need to be selectively breeded first to make them more sound in a series of further design, more investment and thorough testing to see if the idea can avoid being pruned from the bottom rank of the pool which always shrinks down as things inside bloats up with more money, people, time and details got involved. All of this in the end is to have the buyers outside bring in their investment and use it as an advantage to beat their competitors in life.
>>65556894nta, good newer games do exist. mewgenics is the only game i ever liked enough to buy merch ofadmittedly they are way rarer though since most people just play live service tardslop
>>65556950>turn-based
>>65555956I saw a review saying this thing basically sucks and needs a gen 2
>>65556953Would playing Subway Surfers with a PIP of your favorite reaction YouTuber be more your speed?
>>65556962You don't have to take the bait that easily man.
>>65556953E33 was the last genuine video game I feel like I've played in over a decade>inb4 ohhh le popular game what a redditorI find myself just replaying Civ V over and over again. Maybe occasionally Cyberpunk modded to a completely unrecognizable state.
>>65556953yes i know... i know. i know. try it anyway
>>65556953Are you fucking retarded dawg?
>>65556147I have way more faith in asha as she keeps firing people and shutting studios down that they clearly do not need. Of course im sad that the ones who did genuinely care at 343 are out of a job but as per usual I'll always blame the studio hierarchy and its managers/studio heads. I mean you don't usually see a dev under the same umbrella basically blacklist another studio head from ever working with them.
>>65556249Hey he's actually waiting for his best friend Milwaukee man so they can both go to the range together.
>>65556740I'm 25 and I remember in middle school saving up money that my mom gave me so I can go to this Game On store the hutchinson ks mall before it closed just so I can get an og Xbox. I remember hooking it up at my grandma's house on some Magnavox or some other brand box TV. Played through the whole campaign in a weekend and it was so fun. And yes my first halo game was halo 4 on the 360 E I got for Christmas as a kid. I will say I don't like it now but I appreciate it for getting me toove halo as a whole even through the ups and downs.
>>65556966As if that's not a common sentiment among the unwashed masses.
>>65557010It isn't. It's just a baseless assumption taken as fact by retarded suits that we're only now starting to shrug off the effects of.
>>65557017>It isn't.
>>65557022Bold of you to assume the hordes have even formulated an opinion of games outside of thes ame two they buy every year.
>>65556112GoW:ED is looking suspiciously like another Wolverine.
>>65557034I mean I'm sure it'll be fine. It's gonna sell like absolute shit mind you, but the game itself looks decent.
>>65557030>thes ame two they buy every yearNeither of which are turn based.
>>65557068They do not know what turn based game are, I am telling you. They quite literally do not engage with the medium.
>>65557078>They quite literally do not engage with the medium.I do think this is fair to say but it's asinine to assert that even the basest of plebs don't know what a turn based game is.
>>65556894I had a good time with Cultic and Motorslice when it wasn't being horny
>>65557110Alright fair, hyperbole did get the better of me there. Maybe I'm just sore about tasteless retards making up the majority of the market.
>>65556780>Sad shit indeedIt’s a blessing for sandfever fags like me that there’s a fair few Paki chicks in Bongland doing the same gimmick of sucking white dick while wearing a hijab
>>65556160Gaming is YUGE, bringing in revenue more than Hollywood. Gaming also trains future soldiers and pilots and is the most effective propaganda medium among kids and young adults.
>>65557141>Maybe I'm just sore about tasteless retards making up the majority of the market.And it'll never get better.
>>65555956MAN THEY BEST RENAME THAT SHIT TO GAYLO

>>65555956Keltec didn't win, someone in the Engineering dept got hit with a benzo after ODing on coke, and made something they actually kind of wanted out of something nobody wanted.All they have to do is get rid of the barrel hinge. Thats it. After market will make a better brace, people will buy their own optics, just get rid of the shitty hinge that makes the Sub2k suck ass. There is a market for a half decent tec-9, when the Mac 11 weighs a ton.Hell, do a shit ton of cocaine and make a PS90 9mm magazinr for it and make a ST-9. Peoe will geek out for the thing. As is, theres nothing actually compelling about it.
>>65556119>knew Xbox wasn't doing so hotThey were during the pandemic and post pandemic, the problem was that they over extended and Gamepass being so successful that it bit them in the ass, combined with Microsoft knee capping the Xbox division through AI booming making it more expensive to consoles
Outside of the Railgun, hydra, and spartan laser I find the majority of halo human weapons both boring and ugly to look at.
>>65555956>9mm vs Sangheililollmao even
>>65557401>Hell, do a shit ton of cocaine and make a PS90 9mm magazinr for it and make a ST-9. Peoe will geek out for the thing. As is, theres nothing actually compelling about it.I want one in .380
>>65557638.45 would obliterate them
>>65555956You can get somewhat more accurate Halo LARP with a Flux Raider. It's still pretty stupid but you can do it.
>>65556871Faggot.
>>65556978If it makes you feel any better, the ones who actually cared about halo were vendors who are used to the feeling the axe of layoffs against their necks. The actual tragedy is the work they did that might have fixed things, but never get pushed.
