Damn guys I totally forgot about that, it was unlimited in LP1/C and 2, (unless using Revolver - which I think had 12 shots, correct me if I'm wrong.)
But it probably never ran across my mind, seeing as it was never the default weapon, except for that one mission in LP2 and the online matches. Kinda makes me wish they didn't take the typical "prequel" route, unless it's a reboot it totally limits the depths they can go with things like story, gameplay, etc. without raising an eyebrow.
LP2 took place I think 10 years in the future? Allowing ground for some batshit crazy ideas, which I love most about Japanese design (and used to about Capcom). I also wonder will each weapon have their specific advantages and uses, in both single and multiplayer like the past LP games. Each weapon was different, even the various iterations of the base weapons, had some very unique properties for various situations especially when it comes to uneven numbers, taking on VS on foot, and Akrid. (Also Datapost suit was so much god tier trolling.) I remember the first time someone pulled that on me, after I killed him it was pretty hilarious... then I got nuked. lol
I would like to see an interesting weapon like a Nikita missle, Bombchu, or RC car in Lost Planet, I hope the game doesn't take itself so seriously they don't forget to make it fun.
