    Ghasp.

    Well, probably if not 1.1, then sometime later.

    "But as has been stated, that model was used as the gl simply so we could get the game out on time, as it was an acceptable sub until an original was produced. Speaking of, back to work . . . " -BM

    "Just a note-- the official one is going to be replaced in 1.1 if I can get my act together." -BM

    I think... maybe

    Wasn't the GL (now) originally going to be the HMG?

    i think this 'alpha' GL model is the sexiest looking next to the pistol.

    The current GL model was the old HMG model.

    They're probably replacing it just to stop all the "Hey it looks like the OICW!" posts. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Actually, I just wondered how a grenade can fit through the tiny muzzle opening <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Heh have you seen the grenades? I know I have since I usually don't play marines from a lack of aim <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Anyway they're rather small. Which is fine. By what I have seen of them they look like they about twice the size of a real life shotgun shell.

    Oughtta see what I can come up with in Maya, during lab hours at college. Had a few sketch-ideas a bit back for one that looked almost skeletal (series of cut rings to propel the grenade magnetically) but LightWave was a little painful to try and model within. Could submit it for evaluation if it looks good enough, or just toss it up as a model replacement if not. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Anyone know what a good polycount would be, to aim for?

    What I want is a grenade_bounce sound that coneys more weight and substance.

    The current one sounds like someone kicking an empty film canister down a tile hallway.

    I would prefer a GL model with a drum mag like those used for riot control.

    I like the current model.

    Used as an HMG? That's WIERD.

    GL for riot control? Rubber high explosives?

    Riot one is for tear gas.

    I would like to see a riot one too, but that seems way too lowtech.

    Well I'd love to see a new gl model; this one just doesn't seem...."right" I guess. I mean, for 27 res you get a hmg that both looks and sounds chunky, but the 33 res gl looks lacking. I hope something beefier will be along in 1.1...

    Well if you remember, launchers were too effective. They could destroy so much stuff soo fast that they needed a higher price, and a marine with a little practice can even kill moving aliens without too much of a problem. Also this is why siege was never complained about before, because why siege when using HA/jetpack marines with launchers could do it in a 3rd of the time.

    What's better than a goofily happy Jean-Claude? Damned if I know . . . .

    Working on the new model as we speak . . . . much progress has been made. So, you may see a brand spanking new model in 1.1.

    This thread really speaks to the diverse set of tastes out there that we struggle to satisfy. In just looking at the varied responses, I think the new one will be met with much the same response as the old:
    1) Some people will <i>love</i> it.
    2) Some people will <i>hate</i> it.
    3) Some people will think it's ok.
    4) Some people will not be thrilled with it, but won't be horribly offended either.
    5) Some people could not possibly care less either way.
    6) The modeling forum will loathe it.

    Just preparing you, because now that it's been discussed, the pressure has been turned up a bit. That's the nature of the beast, I suppose. Diff'rent Strokes for diff'rent folks. I can't please you all, but I'll do my best.

    Still, I hope most people will at least <i>tolerate</i> it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
