personaly the old Vampire projectiles (not the sky blue ones the Vanilla ones) were the best that red fit their name "Vampire" but hey something tells me people won't agree.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the current Vampires are (almost; they have a little bit more effect to them now, which is great) how they were in vanilla. They had a civilian look to them. The red vampires (which I consider horrible unfitting for IMG and way too much like OC guns, I hope other people agree on that as well, since I pushed for getting back the vanilla effects a lot back before .87) were put in place for CR at some point of Disco development. And in .86 IMG guns got the light blue projectile color, which looked too much like the Bret guns imo... Weirdly, I know other mods also had red projectiles for IMG guns...
Vanilla (with no modifications except for the directx blah and the high resolution): https://www.dropbox.com/s/s4i2vm4gu4yqxc...48-574.jpg
Matterthief 2 being fired. Vampires were the same color with a bit different style. Also there was no Class 9 Vampire gun.
Anyway, going off topic here, but I guess for LF guns we will have to wait and see. Really looking forward to it. Hope all factions get LF guns over time and many of the effects can be reused decently and fitting somehow.
