There's a patch due out in a few days that'll add new guns to the game. One of the many unusual things about SH is that, at the moment, it only features a single gun. That gun has multiple modes and a multi-mode grenade launcher, which actually suits SH's gameplay quite well.

BUT...the lack of weapons variety is one of the most common complaints I hear leveled against the game. It seems, from the weapons revealed so far (one weapon is being revealed each day until the patch's release) that these will add support for more focused roles...dedicated sniper rifle (the current weapon does have a sniper mode), heavy machine gun with larger clip...

What's not clear at the moment is whether all the new weapons will still have access to a grenade launcher, and how the new grenade types will work.

Hopefully this will draw some new players to the game, because while it's one of the best multiplayer shooters I've ever played, the playerbase also happens to be miniscule. If you have a semi-newish computer (Core 2/Athlon2 or newer) with a DirectX10 capable video card (Any GeForce 8 or Radeon HD2000 series) and like multiplayer shooters, you should look into Shattered Horizon...especially with the new updates on the hor...ugh...on the way.
