suggestions for new mods

[Twiller 0]

Hello,

even so many gun mods exists with lots of pretty cool weapons there are some weapons I would like to see in one of the next weapon mods. I would like to create them on my own but unfortunately my skills are very asuming. So I hope you Modders will fulfil some of my dreams .

I hope many of you will join this thread!

Here's my wishlist:

SAR21 with M203 grenade launcher

securityarms.com

Steyr AUG A3 with grenade launcher

Steyr Arms

Something I've been thinking on for a long time is a new and improved OICW.

Let's see;

-Kinetic energy portion made from a highly modified M14

-Grenade launcher portion now shoots 40mm HE high velocity rounds

I hereby challenge you, modders!

For total unreality, lets add the new XM-26 LSS.

Wow, three magazines, one gun, total fun!

Unfortunately, GR only allows two weapons per player; so the LSS would be merely cosmetic.

I know there's a ###### slap coming for me after this but I have to say it.

Here's my suggestion for new mods.

Stop wasting your time and talent on purely cosmetic mods. Weapon mods.

How about you use your skills to produce some new maps that can be enjoyed by all. Maps are the key ingredient to further enjoyment of the game. From maps others can contribute by creating the almighty missions and campaigns. This contributes to more and more mods being produced. Sure the game is just about dead (if not already) but if some of you extremely talented 3D artists would have contributed to other contributers we would have had such a greater wealth and variety of mods.

How many variations of which weapon can you possibly make. Does it really alter any aspect of the game other than cosmetically? Which, if I may add, you can only view in renders, replays, dead allies/opponents. The entire time you play, you don't see the weapons at all.

If you want to actually alter the feel of the game through weapons mods you know that you have to go to the extremes that mods such as WOI and Civil War have. Other than that the differences are minimal at best.

Sorry to offend, i'm not meaning this to be negative, just to put an opinion that you've likely not heard that I personally have always had. I recognize the skill that goes into creating weapon models. Most weapon modders have actually demonstrated far higher skill in 3D modelling than anything I have ever done, without a doubt. I don't believe that creating a dozen or so guns is anything compared to the time and dedication it takes to create a high quality map though. Just some food for thought. Let the ###### slapping commence.

Now I have to give 3 thumbs up to that post sleeper! Even with being a former weapons modder I see the uselessness of weapon models in GR, atleast the really high detail ones we are starting to see now. The only time you are fully going to make use of those are if you press your virtual nose up against your team mates weapon

Fair enough for a game that has first person view of your weapon but for GR all the variety doesn't really make sence. Who'd really notice the difference if your teammate had an M4 model instead of a HK 416???

Some of the requests I've had are just plain stupid...like redoing the XM8 mod and give them all slightly thicker barrels...so it looks like they would be packing the new 6.8mm rounds Doubt anyone would notice a 3 to 4mm difference in the barrel thickness!

Maps and in one way vehicles makes alot more sence to spend your time making.

And btw...I never made the Steyr AUG A3, only Steyr I ever made was for the WMC (round 2 I think).

If you want AUG's you should take a look at Operation Stabilise that Streinger made a variety of AUG's for.

I absolutely agree with you Sleeper. I've been with this game since day one and the most saddening thing has been the number of maps that have been shown in screenshots that have never been released! They are usually going to be part of some "uber" campaign that never sees the light of day. Always amazes me that someone spent months making a map and then lets it rot on their HD.

In all truth its the maps and missions that keep the game alive not the eye candy of the skins or weapon models.

Before all the weapon modders get all cross eyed about my above statement I meant that as no disrespect to your skills or abilities. I just wish the map modders had kept up with you.
