From what I see, putting your eye in front of the scope seems very hard at the moment,I suggest you to move it forward or most likely elongate the stock

I dunno, it doesn't look much more difficult than this:


The stock could probably use a cheek rest or something, though, because at the moment it looks you'd just be pressing your cheek to a square-edged metal bar, which can't be comfortable.

So I made a thing.

Is it a higher-poly MA5B? Looks pretty good from what I can tell, although the charging handle may a bit small, and the 7.62x51mm rounds look a bit thin.

It is, everything is to scale with the original fp MA5B. The bullets may be a bit small thin but that was to fit into the mag better on the model (savinpvtmike did the render, I think he might've re-sized the bullets a bit).

Ahh, I see. If getting everything to the proper scale is one of your priorities, it looks like the walls of your magazine could be made a bit thinner in order to accomodate slightly wider cartridges. But either way, I suppose the rounds in the magazine are one of the things that you'd only catch a brief glimpse of in-game.

Those craved lines cutting the weapon in parts (I hope you jbow what I mean, I'm speaking about the details you modeled) may be a bit thin for baking on a medium resolution bitmap, you may need to enlarge them

I modeled them to about the same size as the original cut in the CE and Halo Wars MA5Bs, if it is too small I'll go ahead and fix it but I'll just see how it bakes in its current state (it also looks a bit thinner in that render due to the angle and lighting).

So I'll give my two cents. It isn't a bad looking gun. But it looks a bit like it was designed by a committee. There are a lot of of random extrusions that seem to serve no purpose. The main one that stands out is on the butt stock right below the hand grip. Also I understand it isn't an assault rifle. But ergonomics look like it'd be a hell of a thing to hold. The scope as well looks like it's be held up on a pedestal and the arms of that pedestal seems to just be stuck on.

Anyway. That's my constructive criticism. Just stuff to be mindful of next time you're thinking out your design.

So here is my first ever try at a gun. Still has a bit more left to add and some of it that's placeholder. As of right now the buttstock padding has been redone.





Also I tried it with other lighting for the render. Which do you like better?

Edited by samnwck on Nov 7, 2014 at 10:14 PM

Dem that looks good.

As for the renders I prefer the warmness you get from the top two.
Edited by SS Flanker on Nov 8, 2014 at 08:06 AM

Me too. Do you have pictures of the blueprint/source you are using to do this ?

Yeah, it's the R11 RSASS from Remington.

Well the replica is awesome. I love the design of the barrel

The flash suppressor on the front of that picture is definitely cool. Though I think I will be opting for a suppressor on the front of mine as I like the way it looks.



As far as it not fitting the Halo style I think is somewhat false. The only thing that doesn't look very Halo is the grip. Otherwise I think it could easily fit in. Looks like it could be an early variant of the Spartan Laser.

nice what are u using to model this

Just 3ds max to model and render.

Halo 5 Care packages confirmed

I remember this!
Those were good days...

Lol I remember those two (get it? too, two? ah forget it...)

Dat overheat-exit tho, still love it.

How come the arms draw over the motion sensor as soon as the weapon starts charging?
Edited by A Juicy Frank on Nov 13, 2014 at 03:35 PM

Anything with a lens flare gets drawn over the HUD.

^ really really old WIP there. 0 polish done to that and the map and the arms. Just saying I've played with stuff like that before.
If I ever manage to get a well working duel wield script then that would be nice. The script on halomaps has it's errors. I'll just wait until the next OS update for new scripts/functions that may help.


Hi HDoan.

what dus it look like in 3p

So I tried a new magazine design... I don't have much time to do more progress these days

(for some holes in the model I just don't know how to do the junctions atm)

I didn't know you did c00l guns these days!
Vive la France!

Show us the wire frame :)

Why would you want a wireframe for a highpoly ?

I actually kinda like the idea of it being box-fed, although the curve is more extreme than it would need to be for 40mm rounds.

Here's the Rheinmetal Hydra, with what I believe is a 10-round magazine, for comparison:


And a mock-up of the Alsetex Cougar with what appears to be a 4 or 5-round magazine:


If you do go with a detachable box magazine, though, you'll either need an ejection port (top-ejecting would probably be easiest, but your model currently has a rail segment that would obstruct that) or caseless (possibly self-propelled) rounds.
Edited by Echo77 on Dec 16, 2014 at 03:49 PM

I suppose if you're planning to fit that in with the other Halo weapons you could make it fire caseless grenades - the M319 from Reach uses caseless grenades too, maybe you could even use the same model grenade as the Reach ones.

Yeah I'm not going to waste my time making an ejection port if I don't need it. Why would closed drum mag not need it ?
Anyways, I'm a serial baker now :
