New weaponmodels

[GreEn`mArine]

As some of you already know, there have been new weapon models by morphed for quite a few weapons. As an experiment, I'd like you to GUESS what model represents which weapon. To me it is hard to figure out and all weapons with new models look the same to me, but well, that was also the case for the new sounds.

I just wanna rant a little bit, thats all





The solution:
Hagar
Electro Mortar
Shotgun

Oh, and as a sidenote, I have to say the crylinks drop model is bigger (too big) compared to the other ones.

I think you just need a bit of time to get used to the new models. In general i'd say every gun looks better now, and for the others the anims or position was improved. Well maybe except the hagar, i really liked its old model for the simplicity. However the new electro just kicks ass and is currently (imo) the best looking gun in the whole game!

I find it sad that lamoot's weapon is not in one way or the other.

Which weapon is that?

Back on topic i like the new models and can already tell which is which And I agree Electro is incredibly nice.

Shotgun and its evolution.

Now r_drawviewmodel 0 is even more needed than before.

The new models are absolutely awesome, I liked every one of them except for the mortar, when it's on the ground it still kinda looks like the old model but when holding it in your hand it doesn't look like the original at all. Probably just needs a little getting used too, but great job!

And I might have missed a discussion about this, but how does this work with the grappling hook being a seperate weapon now? It isn't possible anymore to use the hook while with another weapon or is there some setting for that?

I'm trying to figure out why on earth someone thought it was necessary to change the mortar or the electro models.

[divVerent]

Because artists always change the models that already ARE somewhat good, and never touch those that are REALLY bad.

Just like now: new electro sure is great and better than the previous one, but the old one was okay too. But the old crylink is still there... and arguably, that's the weapon model that sucks most.

Mortar IMHO looks too generic from first person view, could be a RL too. Hagar - no idea, not used to it yet. Electro sure is great.

Maybe this weird artist behaviour is what they need for their ego. If they make a new Crylink, sure, people will say it's great - but then they think "that's not showing me off as a great artist, as ANYONE can make a better crylink". That's why they tend to make replacements for GOOD models, and let the BAD ones rot. And might be why no artist ever tries to improve or replace our player models.

Well i for one have just seen screenshots from lamoot.. morphed's shotgun is ready and IMO very well designed!

As for the rest, i think there is taste and getting used to new stuff. But yeah, a new model for the crylink would be nice.. its general IDEA is great as a weapon design but the model is showing its age
