Title: Replacing weapon models with real-world weapons Post by: G-Max on September 11, 2009, 11:11:07 AM Hey all. I think it would be cool if some of the weapon models were replaced with models based on real-world weaponry. For example, the machine gun model could be replaced with one based on the XM8 or Heckler & Koch G36, the shotgun model could be replaced with the Benelli M4 Super 90, grenade-launcher with the Milkor MGL, and of course, the
I'm still trying to find a rocket launcher that is reloaded rather than discarded after use, but also isn't the Javelin (which behaves nothing like the game's rocket launcher). I can has feedback?

Besides, realistic weapons would somewhat artistically clash with the rest of the game.

I'm not suggesting that the weapons behave realistically. I'm not saying "let's do recoil and looking-down-the-barrel and magazine-based reloading and everything else that's in Call of Duty 4". I'm just suggesting that a few of the models look like real weapons. I'm talking about a purely cosmetic change.

Title: Re: Replacing weapon models with real-world weapons Post by: G-Max on September 15, 2009, 08:40:17 PM Good luck finding a real life plasma gun. At what point did words like "some" and "a few" become synonymous with "all"? STOP STRAWMANNING! Never going to happen, OpenArena is a That's a fascinating question to ask, considering that the guns in OpenArena look nothing like those in Quake III Arena. Title: Re: Replacing weapon models with real-world weapons Post by: Marble of Doom on September 16, 2009, 07:15:38 PM The weapons do look similar. Like kick52 said, OA is based on q3. The weapons don't look completely the same, but some are very similar like the chaingun, rocket launcher, and gauntlet (well, sort of).
Title: Re: Replacing weapon models with real-world weapons Post by: G-Max on September 17, 2009, 12:37:43 AM Yeah, a double-barreled breech-loading shotgun looks TOTALLY like a single-barreled magazine-fed shotgun...
O WAIT.

Title: Re: Replacing weapon models with real-world weapons Post by: Someone_mad on May 10, 2012, 10:17:40 AM Real life weapons are simply bad looking and significant of bad taste...
I'm quite sure someone made a mod for this already. ±END¤CONNEXION± |
