after watching the video i can say that it is pretty good in game. jut like before though, needs better skin. its pretty good if you just started though.

I've never played GoW, but is it supposed to be a gun, AND a machine gun? That seems unfair. And the damage is overpowered, other than that, good job.

Umm what the fuck are you talking about? A gun and a machine gun what?
I think you should make it so like in GoW they tear in half when you hit them with the saw.

So far the best remake of that gun I've seen. It's an alright model, but it could use some more polygons and fixing up the smoothing a bit. Skin's lacking, I can tell you sort of understand how to do it, but it just needs some razzle-dazzle. Good job though, I like the effort.

Edit: I dunno if you've seen this picture but it's a high res of the gun. http://www.unlimitedgamer.net/gears-of- ... Lancer.bmp

Thanks!

I wasn't following any tutorials on creating the skin, just messing with photoshop layer modes. So I'm glad to hear I'm on the right track.

I have seen that pic before, and I used it extensively when I was doing the model. The normal maps are so well done on it that it took me forever to figure out just how much was modeled and how much was just the normal map. Also I saw an image of just the grey models from one of the cut scenes, it helped a ton!

Yes, the Lancer is a gun AND a chainsaw

(although it would be a crappy chainsaw in real life with that bar...

) And yes, I would love to have it cut guys in half like in GoW, but to my knowledge HALO can't support dismemberment... I would settle for some gibs, if I could figure out how... Maybe spawning particles form the damage effect?.... Awwww crap, now I'm going to have to figure this out!

Halo does support area damage (when you shoot the flood's arms they come off) which you could remodel the chief into separate parts that come apart when you die, but you would have to model and texture the chief's insides and stuff.
then you have to find a way to make it work only when you use the secondary attack (which is what your using for the chainsaw right?)

Now that I think of it, you're right... I'll have to use HEKplus to extract some of the flood models and check them out. But the player would have to be dead before you could dismember him, otherwise you would have guys running around without arms or legs...

Being able to snipe off someones arm wouldn't be that bad either!

What you could do is set the stun time for the Chainsaw projectile to like 5 seconds so the other player couldn't move and make the damage threshold for the regional damage super high (like 100,000 so nothing else could trigger it) and have the chainsaw projectile's damage be just one over that amount (I've never tried anything like this but I'm pretty sure it would work, but the other player would die instantly and fall into pieces)

Yeah, cool. That just might work

Its a nice model, but the skin could use a little work. Looks good though.
