While you may rarely see the stock in first-person, you will be seeing it any time you find the weapon laying around, any time you see an ally carrying the weapon, and any time you see an enemy carrying the weapon.

I don't think a foregrip would be out of place. I'm not sure how solid a folding foregrip would be, considering you'd be pulling on it every time you rack the pump. It'd probably be do-able, but it doesn't sound like something I'd want to trust. Take that with a grain of salt.

Exactly my thoughts, though I do have a very good idea to incorporate a robust foregrip, which could stand the might of any spartan palm.

As for the picatanny rails, do you think the top rail is enough or should I add smaller versions around the side flanks of the receiver?

I think the 12-o'-clock rail you have right now would do just fine, especially given the nature of this particular shotgun variant. It already has an integral flashlight, and the current rail allows for optics, so there's not much need for side-mounted rails.

I actually think the original stock was better. It resembled the M90, but it had a more brutish style. Now, it just looks like an extra stock slapped on to the back of another stock.

So I think someone had to model that weapon :


Then I started it.

Awesome. About time we got our hands on a UNSC MGL. Just cover up the exposed grenades in the drum and you'll be set, methinks.

I love how the grip is basically a 1911 .45 acp, even the trigger matches exactly. Weird, but still awesome.

Here is a shinier render :
Because some people don't like clay renders, and it doesn't have enough polies to crash my 3ds max yet

Nice job !

this is what i think the halo4 br should have been

A gun with a DMR body, Halo 3 BR Barrel, and a modified version of the Halo 4 BR stock?

And how would removing the scope be beneficial to the player?

@Pvt Mike: The weapon in the top-right corner may be something to look into.

i did use that for the carrying handle and i am modeling that but i haven't found time to finish it and i did not add the scope yet thats y its not there

looks like a DMR and BR H4

prity much it is

Mike you still need to send me that br .fbx Get on skype already.

Why not custom ? D: Otherwise the shape looks really cool.



Nice but it doesn't look like the hands are holding the gun tight, like it will go in your face when firing.

Moar progress and a few colors :



Now I just need to do the silver part and the handle, which should be easy

Is it going to be revolver-action, or is it going to feed from detachable drums?

Looks, GG.

No new update on the m95 yet. Haven't had enough time to collaborate on ideas.

Did have time for this though. (moonshiners beware)















I think more attention needs to be made, on how the drum mag fits into the mag port, looks too much like it was thrown on there.

Here's a reference for how the drum should insert into the magwell, if that helps:

Looking really good so far, though. Would be cool to see it in-gamed and put into a Cops and Robbers map or somethng.

Already have that reference. I'm just concerned I don't overlap the polies too much.

I might send you the model and let you tweak it. As well as the m95, I really want to ingame this. Only for OS however, i've come to understand the powa of a normal map.

Thanks again, Echo echo echo echo.

I don't know how to model D:

4 REAL?

Is true. :C

Here a new update from 343i. Just a simple preview of the weapons that will be on Halo 5 : Guardians beta.

I'm not impressed at all, if anything it looks like a few rejected design submission from h4......

Bungie managed to give us gradual but notible updates to weapons and Armour i'm not sure why 343 need to drag last years work into this years.

-A 4-tone Assault Rifle. Are you serious.
-Battle Rifle has a nicer black color but again with this terrible two-tone BS.
-DMR looks the same, terrible color toning again.
-That is the most generic looking heavy weapon rocket launcher (or whatever it'll be) I've ever seen. That's not Halo, that's just embarrassing.
-SMG is baaaaaaaaaack. Looks top-loaded, and terribly two-toned...
-Sniper looks decent, I'll wait to see if it looks terrible in first person.

I swear to hell if the first person animations are ported over, which it seems like they will be seeing as these weapons all look like terrible upgrades, I'm going to kill someone.

The assault rifle does have too many colors, but the two-toned battle rifle and DMR aren't bad. Metal is one color, polymer is another. This is pretty normal.

There was a single-barreled rocket launcher in pre-Xbox Halo that was intended for anti-aircraft use. It's certainly different, but you can only do the double-barreled design so many times.

The M7 does look a bit odd, but it appears that they've just followed the trend of making the polymer one color, and the metal another color.

I think they would look better if the contrast between the tones were lower.

I think I'll go for a detachable drum because it will have no issue about animations, I'd prefer revolver action but I think it will cause problem.
And you're going to tell me revolver would be stupid because the grenades are exposed to fire

Not big on the BR's scope, it looks like the scope we saw on the DMR-like weapon back in Firefight: Descent.

i swear, whoever in 343 looked at these and said "this looks great", should've been fired on the spot

Aaaaannnd not something that belongs in Halo.
Well no, but a single barreled cylinder with handles just looks boring. The double barrel rockets with a larger rocket holder and top handle to SWING UP was awesome.

In a completely random assortment, like they did that thing in Paint where you use the cut tool and just draw randomly squiggles everywhere then move it to see how disastrous it looks.

Drum sounds like the easiest approach. I'm not sure what you mean by the grenades being exposed to fire; there are realworld revolver-action grenade launchers. The Milkor MGL is probably the most well-known.


It's a reflex sight of some sort (either red dot or holographic), a low/no-magnification optic that uses a laser to project a reticle.


Polymer and metal isn't something that belongs in Halo?

A single rocket tube may seem "boring" compared to a dual-tube system, but it also means that instead of two big rockets, we get one really big rocket, possibly guided.

The polymer sections of the SMG aren't random. The rails, magazine, grips, and buttpad are all polymer, while the rest of it is metal. I agree that it doesn't look qute as good as the M7, though.
