I few months back I stated that I would work on a new rifle and player model for the northern Faction. I finished tracing the the fedorov rifle in XSI, and I added some basic primitives to the gun to give it its own shape different from the fedorov rifle. This is the image I used. Here's how it turned out. recent update of the rifle. This is the rough model right after tracing, so it is not the prettiest. I plan on adding more detail to the model like straps that is holding the stock in place, and rusted metal fasteners making it look like it was jury rigged and assembled quickly. Also taking an idea from BF2 where two magazines will be taped together for quick reloading. The magazine itself will be a banana clip.
the nfar ironsights can get really annoying because the muzzle flash obscures your view on burst firing. i would actually consider the nfhr ironsights to be better than the nfar, despite the bullets still shooting off-center (according to firewarrior irrc i personally think it's a lot better though) behr ironsights also suck. bear not so much; it's hard to describe exactly why, the bear ironsights just feel less..... restrictive.
BEAR ironsights zoom a lot more, and as such are a lot more sensitive. But yeah, the NFAR muzzleflash is really, really homo. It ruins them pretty much.
I like the NFHR The NFAR is ok, but when I hold it it just does not feel or look like a real gun But NFHR looks pretty nice actually
I loved the BF2 reload animation for the AK-whatever with the two magazines taped together. However, it looks quite stupid when you've just shot empty the two magazines and reload. Maybe make the magazine drop out of view and back up. That makes the two taped magazines just for view, though. Anyway, the model itself looks quite good. Would love to see a different model for the NFHR. (Fits better for the NFHR. NFAR is nice as it is.) Can't wait to see it finished and textured.
something needs to be done to encourage ppl to play engineer really badly give them this gun, along with smg1/2 to choose from? seriously there is a need to encourage players to go engineer atm.
In mootants childhood a model dropt on his foot and scared him to death. Since this day he secretly hates models.
Yea, I have actually been thinking of getting a combination scanner/printer, so I can actually do that, and for work.
Went back and made some small changes to it's shape. How about that I can make the shape a little bit more radical if you like.
I would suggest to use a different ammo insertion than the NFHR has so both rifles dont look the same.
I suggest making this an NFHR replacement, as the NFAR is fine, but the NFHR is a clusterfuck of misery which would look stupid being anything other than semi-auto with a small mag, making it difficult to work with. Not to mention the ironsights.
