NS2:Combat Light Machine Gun skin for NS2?

Yojimbo

Hey guys,

Just curious since the LMG skin in NS2 Combat was brilliantly done and all those nostalgia feelings buzzing all over my bones, would it be possible to have it as a selectable skin between the rifle or LMG?

Or even something that could be added to the armoury? Hopefully there shouldn't be any differences balance wise

I can understand if this might pose abit of difficulty as the LMG uses different secondary animations (skulk fisting animation).

I don't have a clue about modelling or animations so I don't know if its easy or hard.

Is it doable? Maybe have a vote on whether to have it for a future patch is in order?

It's already in NS2. It's used as the comp mods HMG.

Ahhh ok my bad I actually haven't been on a server with comp mod in a long long time, any recommendations on where to see this skin?

I never understood why u used the old lmg as hmg model. That's blasphemy. But at least it looks cool

I always saw it as kind of like a corporate promotion for the lmg - "you've served us well for many years, we are upgrading you to _uber_damage_gun_ as a mark of the respect we have for you and for all the hard work you've put in"

I'm pretty sure the real reason was something more along the lines of "Because it was there".

And what did they say about the hmg? It was not the workhorse, but it earned it's pay late game when one was keeping a whole team alive xD

edit: it deserves a new super model as well
