    I would like at least a little recoil. Doesn't have to be much! A little would be fine.

    I propose we take all the sound packs and sound suggestions, put it in a thread and let people choose what sounds best for what weapon.

    Technically, the sounds i use are in source sounds.gcf. I modified them a bit to work in Empires, and i love them.

    I would love to see artillery having a much much deeper bassier (word?) thump to them when they fire. As it is they just sound like a heavy tank gun.

    Making the screen shake a little if you're standing near one when it fires would be sexy too. I want to feel my seat shake to the sound and have my screen shake and blur a little. Not that we actually have screen shake or blur in the game but it'd be good!

    Ah, all the guns look very nice, good job! I think my favorite is the .50 cal. Can't wait to see more.

    +, i think the guns look fine. I dont know what they are talking about :/

    what i dont understand is why empires doesnt use the cool explosions from hl2 instead of using only the grenade explosion sounds...

    these sounds are found in source sounds.gcf/hl2/sound/ambient/explosions

    Not quite, think of something much closer to a deep rumbling thunder.

    Also what is the possibility of having a sound emitter follow the path of a bullet or projectile? I would imagine that it could be possible to record the path the projectile takes, most likely a straight line unless projectile physics calculated in empires. Once it is recorded then simply shoot a sound emitter down this path at the velocity of the projectile and have it emit the correct sound.

    I find that bullets whizzing overhead and tank shells flying past add a lot to the atmosphere of a game.

    All the iron sights seem to have only a front piece? I guess that is just a technical thing but otherwise looks pretty sweet.

    Take a closer look. They all have rear parts you're looking through.

    Finally, the weapons are starting to look like they have some punch in them.

    I love the 50 cal rifle, the quality is comparable to DoD:S (Take it as a compliment, I swear :)). But my concern is the Assault Rifle, not exactly pressing issues, but; it's small for such a weapon, and I'm not quite fond of the way it's being held. And as said multiple times already, the 50 cal rifle can stand to have some recoil.

    Regardless, I love how these new weapons have turned out, well done ;)

    I re-uploaded the videos at a slightly higher quality.

    Also, here's a sneak peak at another weapon I'll be uploading a video for soon. Note that the scope sights aren't done.

    nooo, the 50cal is good under bsid settings and spreads begins increasing after 3 shots or so :o

    Scout - Seems to cock a little too fast, otherwise i like it. But was it just me or did the scope have no +?
