Ok so Im modifying weapons to make Halo 1 harder,more balanced and yea so Im gonna start with da assault rifle.

Simple: Other than increasing range, adding a scope or 2, lowering ammo and increasing accuracy, how should I make it more of a rifle than a smg?

THIS IS FOR PC

Make it non-bullpup. And swap out the flashlight for a 40mm.

non-bullpup would make it less accurate...

On the contrary, making it non-bullpup would allow the bolt to become longer, therefore allowing the bullet to travel faster and longer. The main flaw with bullpups is that the bolt has to be significantly shortened, reducing overall accuracy over long distances. However, this would realistically also reduce the rate of fire.

Bullpups are not chose for their accuracy, they are chose for being compact and maneuverable in closer ranges. If you were looking for accuracy, the good ol M16 will do the job for you.

lol wow random bullpup essay to start off the morning

Suggestions:

rounds per clip: 32
increase the damage
decrease the ROF

Make the melee a 2 hit kill
don't add in zoom/ binoculars


the flashlight should be a grenade launcher or a shotgun
change the firing sound to a firing sound that sounds close to that of the M16's
refer to the picture above for the model but don't make it look to sharp

that's all I can say.

halo mg :P




mags can be remade to regular box(30 round) mags.

Kinda like the sound of Wrath's idea. But I think it should go a bit like this...

Rate of Fire: 7-20 rounds per second.
Accuracy: Increased
Damage: Increased
Magazine Size: 42
Secondary Fire: 40mm Contact-Detonation Grenade
Other Features: 2x Integrated Binoculars.

Well, I cant model or anything so all I could do is to modify the weapons and add simple changes to bitmaps (Extra buttons or something)

What I did:
48 rounds, increased damage, lowered ROF, addd a 2x and 3x scope. Minmized spread.

i can either model it from scratch and change it up a bit to flow whit the forward mag version, or mod the existing model. up to u guys to texture and rig etc.

Geared should go work for Bungie.

Add green little dots :D

But seriously an assault rifle doesn't need to have more than 40 rounds inside it's magazine.
32 or 38 would be good enough.

not really.

i concur, im no where the level of skill required to work for them.

wow. nobody ever reads the requirements for those jobs.

"Minimum 5 years game industry experience or two, shipped AAA games; branching or non-linear narrative experience a plus"

I somehow doubt geared has that under his belt

i got maybe 2 if 3 years tops, and no aaa games, thou working on a epically modded gunz private server wit a friend. that is y i said i have no where near the skill to work for them :P

Well, it is in the future so I thought that assault rifles wont really be carrying 30-40 rounds anymore so I use 48 rounds. However modern day assault rifle stats should'nt hurt anyways.

Hmm, I dont know how to add the silencer but if the ODST e10-e60 maps are unprotected, I might rip those instead and modify the weapon myself

You can rip a silenced AR from firefight-airlock.
The creator left the map unprotected.

No silencer! No silencer!

The tell-tale sign of a truly magnificent weapon is loud noise and FIRE! XD

and making it actually sound like a gun.

*COUGH* halo 3 ar *COUGH* has bad sounds *COUGH*

I was thinking of using Reach sounds when Sphinxbio is gonna give me it lol.

make the damage increase. make it so the spread of the bullets is reduced. and add a laser site. lasers make everything cooler.

Only if the laser is GREEN! :D

Yeah, if you increase damage and accuracy, might wanna tone the rate of fire down a little. Or make it start of firing slow, then warm up to its max RoF.

I already did the grenade launcher thing for an assault rifle http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4087

You're welcome to use this model and animations for your new tagset if you choose.


Edit:



Also, none of this is true. have a good day

Oh that one. It has nice H3 Sounds and yea. Can I ask you to do me a favor?

I really, really doubt working with mods for 2 or 3 years as a hobby is going to count. 5 years working in the game industry. I would assume this means professionally on a development team.

You may ask, sure

Uhh, I have the MA5D GL tag but it's missing some stuff. Besides, even if I got it to work, my tool for some reason wont work sooo, can you compile it into a map for me?

Edit: Also the bitmaps with those of the X3 Assault Rifle or something like that. Please and thnx.
Edited by Skyancez3o4 on Sep 26, 2010 at 11:52 PM

I can't do it, I dont have HEK anymore.

Ohh, I would do it myself, but my Tool++ wont work.
