HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I invented this gun around midnight 2 days ago, inspired by the Hugeass one (I want this to go into a similar map when done)... then modelled it from my scratchy pencil sketches I did in bed while listening to some of my favourite songs. Yay!

3607 polies, I got Reaper Man working on a proper render for me (screw you Gmax) - he's also going to quad-ify it and UVW it. It's going into CE as soon as someone turns up who can do it for me. If you know your stuff about getting custom guns into CE, PM me. I am a HEK virgin, and I have no idea what to do no matter how many tuts I read.

Well, anyways... pics... (<3 my shiny purple 12-24x night vision, range finding scope, will look 10x better ingame)



















Take that.

dude... i thought u wanted me to render that gun 4 u :/ had 2 create a new account, my otherone got deleted >_<

Nice, you keep getting better and better :D.

Thanks

Reaper should have some nice renderness for us all by tomorrow

very nice. looks like the AWP from counterstrike.... PLEASE dont make it superpowerful one hit kill perfect accuracy 3 mile away headshot camperstrike noob weapon!!!! thats what killed CS!

back on topic, i think its very nice as is. mabye get more polys for a cleaner look, but other than that very nice.

Wow, you're still here! *is excited at prospect of finding one more member from 2004*

I was planning to get it into a massive map, like Hugeass only better (with cover and tunnels and stuff). One shot kill, long range, accurate. But to make up for it, massive upwards recoil (like the M82 in America's Army), slow rate of fire due to bolt action, and not much ammo. And maybe a breathing pattern if that can be done.

*is waiting on Reaper's renders*

*starts work on BR/AR hybrid rifle while waiting *

reminds me of the jackle from pdz

*notices lack of renders*

*waits patiently for Reaper to show up*

*starts next project while waiting - I'll show you guys later*

Thanks for the feedback guys. I can't wait to see it ingame

[EDIT] God, Bungie model things dodgily... try putting a battle rifle and assault rifle together. Urgh, not pretty. Well, I made a decent looking hybrid rifle, but it took me HOURS to get the two models to join. (Take note - the hybrid is made from the BUNGIE models, I merely joined them and made some small modifications.)

Well... It's messy, but then again so were the original models. A good skin should hide all that.

Thanks to Tabasco Sauce for sending me all the BR stuff, and me for ripping the AR

Pics, you say? Fine...



Specs (because I can)

XMA7A Marksman Rifle

This rifle was an experimental sniper variant of the MA2B assault rifle. (Those who have read the books will remember that's the cut-down MA5B.) It was heavily modified, and necked up to 9.6x40mm calibre. A 4.5x scope was mounted atop the new carry handle, and the foregrip was modified to fit the hand better. The rifle retained the distinctive back end of the MA2/5B family, but the front end was replaced by that of a rifle in its early stages of development. The 3-slit flash supressor was replaced by a silencer, muffling the report of the weapon from a distinctive bark to a muffled cough. Though extremely effective, the project was cancelled as the new XBR-55 design progressed, and only a few examples remain.

Calibre: 9.6x40mm AP
Clip capacity: 36 rounds
Maximum effective range: approx. 500m
Action: Magazine-fed semiautomatic
Sights: 4.5x optical scope
Accuracy: Equivalent to BR
Rate of fire: Up to 10 rounds per second
Weight: 5.4kg

Well, I'm gonna see if I can get it all cleaned up (or even a little cleaned up) and then try get it into a map along with all my other weapons. Like I said, if you can help, PM me.

i have to say that battle rifle and sniper look wonderful...i cant wait to see them in-game, its gonna be a defenite dl for me...Keep up the great work!

Thanks... NEW PICS!!!!1!!11!!!one!two!!















THAT'S RIGHT, I (sorta) FIGURED OUT THE UVW STUFF AND APPLIED THE SKINS MYSELF.

Reaper was out yesterday, he says the renders should be up today.

w00ties i love em i love em alot

Me too

Thanks for getting me started with the BR and then the skinning, I owe you. Maybe you can take this and put it in your map as payment

Who tought tabasco Unwraping?

Nice model and very nice Unwrap.

Mb render next time?

If Reaper hauls ass over to here, sure. *clicks fingers* RENDER BOY!! Nah, just kidding.

[EDIT] He's busy wrestling my hybrid rifle right now... next time, I do it from scratch. It's been giving us all no end of trouble...

Excellent model rossmum!

Thanks

I have to start the XMA7 again from scratch, using the ripped models as refs... because something screwed up major when Reaper converted it...

At least that means I can not only ADD MORE DETAIL! (BWAHAHAHHAHA!) but also I can get the H2:S BR model done. Kill 2 birds with one stone

sniper looks ok. looks mostly like you extruded a spline and chamfered the hell out of it for the body. i like how you stuck the two ripped models together. it looks pretty neat. hope to see your custom model of it.

You know, that's EXACTLY how I did the stock!

Only because I'm too lazy to learn to plane model, though. All in good time...

there's a link to katarn's modeling tutorial for you put it to good use. looks like you have an understanding of the controls, so this should come easy to you, i think. good luck.

Thanks... I might actually get round to donwloading those tuts now...

[EDIT]: NOES! IT WON'T LET ME DL IT!

Ah well, I can get most of it from the post, I'll try it out later.
