screw that I wanna see the saw in ce

Reasoning?

The SAW made me giggle. It was a complete surprise weapon for me. I think it'll be awesome.

I thought of it as the first LMG in halo (even though m16 and I put the m60 in HCE before they released footage of the SAW >:C)

Maybe the SMG will com back, it's not sure. Some people think it's just the forerunner pistol.

That SAW looks crap...

If there was a "LIKE" button, I have liked your commentary !

Get onit Dennis! It would voice people's opinions much better.

But yeah, it looks like a regular modern day LMG just given some pain and extra details, does not fit into Halo much at all to be quite honest.

I will probably end up making it, but I'm not much for it at the moment.

To be honest the halo 4 weaponry all look bland with the textures. Even the sniper looks meh.

I thought it was going to be an automatic shotgun at first, not a lmg.

meh i personally don't think that is a weapon that really fits in halo, maybe in crysis but not in the halo series, im just going to think up a new smg

Finally got around to finishing the ACR model. I will be adding some stuff to it for the project I intend to use it in, but just accessories and such, the gun itself is finished.

Any advice/crit/opinions/insults/etc... would be appreciated.

You should add some detail to the magazine, unless you plan on doing so just with textures.

The M247 GPMG from Halo 2 would classify as an LMG.

^Not necessarily correct.

Halo 2 - "M247 General Purpose Machine Gun". Wiki: It is a scaled-down version of the more widely utilized M247H Heavy Machine Gun. It's basically a small heavy machine gun that has to be set up on a platform to be operated on.

Halo 4's SAW = portable LMG. LMG =/= HMG

Thanks for the advice. I am trying to decide what I want to do with the magazine. My problem is just that it is already getting to be a pretty high poly model.

Although I guess maybe the best thing to do would be to go ahead and add the details for the FP model, and then remove them for the 3rd person model.

I think I will do it that way, thanks.

A small heavy machine gun would be a light machine gun. The PTRS was an anti-armor rifle, and the SKS is a scaled-down PTRS. But the SKS is not an anti-armor rifle.

"Modern light machine guns often fire smaller-caliber cartridges than medium machine guns, and are usually lighter and more compact. However a light machine gun is defined by its usage as well as its specifications: some machine guns - notably general-purpose machine guns - may be deployed either as a light machine gun or a medium machine gun." -Wikipedia

The M247 GPMG fires a smaller-caliber cartridge (7.62x51mm NATO), in comparison to the M247H HMG's 12.7mm round.

Okay, hows this? I added detail to the magazine, as well as some cloths wrapped around the mag and forgrip. I will be adding a few different details like those to make the weapon look more used and worn out. The texture will also have a lot of battle damage.

u so funyyyy :##

Why are the front and back sights the same.

That's just how they are on the ACR.

I am not quite done with the sights yet, but they are not exactly the same.

Those are magpul flip-up sights (I have a set on my .22 so I have all the reference I could want :D )

Interesting post about Forerunner pistol

They could have changed the general structure from the plasma pistol more;

handle, reciever, power cell going down, structure at the bottom only connected by the cell.

Covenant weaponry is largely inspired by Forerunner weapons, I believe.

Got the Plasma Repeater ingame, so just to work on FP animations. (They're too embarrassing to show right now. XD)

do you need repeater sounds by any chance?
I have the firing sound and overheat vent thing ingame. it would save you time.

you should release the firing sounds, just saying

Don't you mean.... Just Saiyan >:D Nah jk.

icwutudidthar

I can make the FP anims if you'd like ;)

Hey just finished this model/texture, anyone have any advice/comments/crit/insults/etc...?

let me know what you think.

Awesome and beautiful. Keep it up ;)

I am not using OS, so there are no normals. As for the specular maps, there is a specular map applied for the render, but I try not to rely on specular maps to much because I am not very good at working with shaders in halo, so it never comes out looking quite the same in-game.
