Yeah pretty much :P

I didn't know this was real life I thought it was a video game in the future where stuff looks cool :X.

Mad much? Broke said he is keeping it there and that's that. Besides who gives a damn if it not supposed to be like that, it looks cool and doesn't look boring.

Actually, if it went through a prism or some other form of light splitter, it could end up any colour.

Whatever. Obviously no one here has a appreciation for realism so I'll just shut up.\

*caugh* Also just what i want when sniping is a ton of lights giving away my position *caugh*

Come on now bro, realism is a good thing, I agree, and I would enjoy alot of games more if they were more realistic, but really? He said the lights won't give off a glow unless it is dark in the first place, and even then, it would be minimal. Its really not worth worrying about man :P

If your ACTUALLY sniping (Which I am probably the only one who actually does) then having light's doesn't matter a whole lot. Not like those anyway.




This is true.



This is also very true.

Halo need's more cool glowing weapons.

YES!
When I saw the first few renders with the textures pretty much close to done I was like **** yes! Now hand me a paper towel! Then I saw the last renders and the light blue as would be seen maybe on forerunner stuff and I just about died inside that he was seriously going to do that to an already perfect gun. A sniping weapon at that.
And also if the lights don't glow than that REALLY doesn't make sense.
Of course that's one of the reasons i see newer games like GoW and other games with random lights on stuff and I decide not to buy them but I see BFBC2 and how it pays and looks much more realistic and I jump all over that. That's just how I am. I can;t stand when people do things to a game to make it look all techy and they just throw it on randomly.

They do glow, but only in the dark, and to be honest, buying a game because there are random lights on weapons really doesn't make sense man. Sure it may not be realistic, but how are we to say it isn't? I mean GOW and Halo both have their own playing style, and is set in a timeframe that doesn't restrict them to weapons that are modern to us. They also all have a distinct style that the developers are more interested in sticking too, rather than trying to be 100% realistic. Those lights are no exception. Halo has plenty of them in different places, guns, armor, most things have lights that don't necessarily make sense realistically, but are there because bungie has a certain style that they adhere to when making games.

They make things look nicer.
[/discussion]
Seriously this discussion is childish at best.

Chill out :P Its not like we are angry or anything.

If you want a realistic game then you better make sure the shotgun is accurate up to at LEAST 20 yards. That's what I hate about most games and wish they would fix. Everyone seems to have this mindset that shotguns are for about a 10 foot range.

And the light's are awesome. It look's like it might be some sort of coolant type thing.

Agreed. I'm not angry. I am just bummed out because, in my opinion, I believe it looked way better as bare metal. And besides, this is all just personal opinion. Obviously my opinion doesn't correspond with everyone else's and I accept that. That doesn't mean I have to stop trying to change people's minds. Maybe he too will decide he doesn't like it if he agrees with my reasoning. Who knows, but it's not a reason to stop trying to make a point even if it is futile. I see no way in which this conversation could be called childish. It is simply a few people making a case. Just a regular discussion with people that have their own opinions.

You're forgetting where you are. This IS Halomaps remember. The people who get in a 2 page argument because I said I had nothing against people "ripping." People here get worked up over anything.

I never realized. That is sweeeeet.

Vectored by me.
Feel free to use.

So the sniper is done:

- WIP animations by ICEE

The idea is that it will work like a plasma pistol. The normal shot will work as a normal sniper round, with the addition of a slower bullet speed and bullet drop. The charged shot travels a lot faster with no bullet drop, and kills one shot on the chest+head. Also, the rounds will have a slight splash and force, making it a good weapon to disable vehicles (flip them over).
Using your wild imaginations, I suppose you guys can dream of the fancy charge effects :)

*drooling while waiting for release*

Look's pretty good. Just don't forget a pick-up animation.

Thats a good looking gun.

that is probably the best looking fp model I've ever seen in halo 1

Hey look it's ingame.
I would never have thought of the charge idea.
How are you on sounds? Using other halo's gauss firing sounds, or real life firing sounds?

That reload looks slightly painful to the wrist!

Added some small touches on the display. Anyone got suggestions for sounds? I have nothing in my head except the halo gauss hog sound as of yet.

Ye, gauss hog sound would definitely work. Still think the anims should show the weapon as having a bit more weight. (Specifically the reload :P)
Edited by Bobblehob on Aug 3, 2011 at 06:54 PM

Gauss hog sound could work, but it'd need to be edited so it sounds like it's coming from a hand-held gun rather than a mounted turret.

Probably.

maybe look towards the crysis or crysis 2 sounds.

I have the Crysis 2 gauss rifle sounds but they're in mp3 so I don't know how much good that would do you.

Crit?

Pretty decent origin, but now let's see an animation. Many show origins, few show animations.

i like
just

actually the thumb is supposed be bent towards the end, because when i hold a gun I dont put my thumb straight I have it curved

Maybe the gauss rifle from Crysis?

that previous page lagged me up bad

my poor ol lappy

Lol. I had said that in a previous post above.
Get different sounds for the reload and the bolt cocking---you can probably get those from the Crysis series.
