Aren't magnums pretty much an archetypal gun in shooters at this point? MNC's archetypal gun checklist: peashooter/pistol: nope boomstick: Support machine gun: Assault magnum: nope rocket/missile launcher: nope grenade launcher: Assault gatling gun: Gunner flamethrower: Tank sniper rifle: Sniper alternate gun type: Assassin(shuriken launcher) That's three significant types of weapons that are missing from MNC that most shooters have :| EDIT: Hahaha, sniper rifle.
All I gotta says is in early Resident Evil games and the first Parasite Eve game the magnums always mutilated.
That's how magnums always are in games. Hasn't changed in RE5 either where Desert Eagles are so badass their bullets can go straight through armor or shells nothing else can
