The camping rifle is basically what you describe for the second one.

Except that it's a hitscan gun...

Nope. Camping rifle is not hitscan- it uses the new ballistics, which means that each bullet is effected by gravity and time. To hit with the camping rifle, you have to compensate for gravity and airtime of the bullet.

Ok, leave nex at least hitscan.

Am I under some obligation to follow those things? The triangular scope I can deal with, but the two other things look pretty bad in my opinion.

They're requests. And I don't think the rectangular end of the muzzle is that bad (but you can try other similar shapes, like a rounded rectangle or even an oval). The side loading magazine however... better keep it, maybe make it shorter, but instead try making it look more interesting. It doesn't need to be a grey box

all looks pretty bad in my opinion, sniper rifle with head shots is not so fresh and outstanding idea to have some sort of rights to force bad weapon designs
I would like to see, fat, juicy, sexy, big, powerful, long rage sniper rifle that we all dream about. it don't need to be ultra high sci-fi you can take some cool present day sniper and buff it up

Like these?





(not a sniper, but the idea for the magazine)

And seriously, the new HLAC really looks odd now. Especially with its scope.

[Morphed]

that pictures will lead to similar desgin

here are some other concepts that will push weapon in other direction

[divVerent]

Why do you insist on putting it on another direction? Only the first and the second last one actually look like sniper rifles. All others are more for generic use.

How about a new thread about nexrifle concepts?

I had to laugh when I saw the Transformers pic

Adding to my previous post:

why should it look like a generic can-do-everything rifle like on most of the pics Morphed posted? Then the code would have to follow, and it'd have to be good for any range - and would actually be worse for gameplay than the Nex.

No, better make it look in some way so it obviously indicates that it is a long range weapon. That short range mode is really not that good, and only for "emergency situations" like someone trying to get you from behind (after your 12 bullets, it has to reload).

Speaking of weapon look vs weapon behaviour: the HLAC looks like a sniper rifle from first person view. However, it is meant to be anything but. Please remove that scope, it really is irritating. Also add some more indication about it using energy (so it doesn't look too similar to the RL when the scope is gone). The third person or ground model is okay, even with the scope, but in first person it is totally irritating.
