Red smoke is where you can blow the shingle he says.

does really need a thread?

anyways looks nice.

I wanna play that map...:mad: :mad:

Looks alot better than the other default garands. That map looks like its gonna be pretty sweet.

Yeah, that map looks very nice. At least allies will have a chance this time with all the extra cover and smoke.

that's one helluva nice looking default model..looks a lot chunkier..

and look at that map...it looks real purdy!

i cant wait!:D

not bad, it looks almost as good as the one by nomad and poly.

Improvment over the other models? Absolutely. Origins still eval? The origins make baby Jesus cry.

Looks awesome. I'd move it more to the left, though. :)

Charlie's going to have great atmosphere. Those explosions are niiiiiiiiice.

Man.. that's the sweetest garand design ever...

I didn't like custom garands for 3.1.. I did enjoy reskins. but not the remodelled ones.. ( there were tons).

I am gonna luv Garand even more..

damn that looks good. I cant wait for 1.0 now...i think i might just buy it.

Nice model...where's the sling?

:mad:

ohh, sweet screenie. Cant wait for 1.0

:eek: *drool* that is very nice.. and i like the map to :)

As a note, since I was been banned for awhile, I could never get my hands on that model again, there were so many things I wanted to change and there will be a new one sometime.

no sling cause you can use the butt of the gun.

uhm, there should be an sling nevertheless.

Yep

Model looks really good, I don't like the origins though.

ok something weird with rifles....dont get me wrong that model looks pretty good, but has anyone noticed that the rifles look too short? iv seen the 98k enfield and now garand...looks a bit short to me

i just noticed that to.. it does kinda look short, maybe its the angle its at?

well, maybe, but it seemed to be the same with the other rifles, could just be a new model set up, though im sure it will look bigger when we have it occuping our whole screen

ya.. i believe the kar sniper is actually the same length and i do believe the garand is to.. but it coould be 2 reasons that it looks short.. the origins or the size of the pic :P but likeyou said.. will see once we get it on our screen

im thinking that all the MODELS in beta 4 (1.0) look fabulous, i think that i would be happy if they were just reskinned with better skins.

ex. garand model looks great. could look better with a better reskin

holy jesus BETA 4.

yea , lol i would get as weirded out if u just said beta 4 but the fact that u included (1.0) means that u know there is no more beta, or ur just confused...o well like someone said, 4.0 will pass

it looks like the gun like... unnaturally curves toward the left

I like it. Yes it seems more...solid. Kind of like comparing the K98 with ls3's k98 model. Like warlord said, chunkier. More meat in its bones. :)

u guys wouldnt beleive a garand in real life if you ever see one, theyr HUGE! my dad and i were buying ammo at dons guns and going up to fort dix in NJ to shoot, and we saw a hole bunch or ww2 weapons...kar 98ks, garands, thompson and a 04 spring field wit ha flash hider, and OMG HOLY SAINT MOTHER OF HEAVEN BILLY BONG CHRIST! the garand and springfield are monsters! they make the 98k look like a wanna be chump. its funny though because u cant get a feel for how big and bulky the garand was when u watch movies or play games like dod, BoB etc..

Looks great, but isn't it a bit to far to the right?

heheh yea deadi, my friend has a springfield and its about 3/4s my size, its HUGE!

Odd thing, when I first saw M1 Garands in real life they seemed MUCH MUCH smaller then I expected. Same goes for K98's.

I tried two types of K98's one just normal and one short mountain troop version.. both had quite a kick.

yea, not only in length though, but it width

wow dont get me started about kar 98k's hehe. my dad bought one a few weeks ago, and let me say, HOLY SHIBBY. $2000 bucks! no lie at all i was shooting it yesterday. most of the 98ks iv seen have ran for about $80, but the one my dad has was a luftwaffel version, and actually taken off a dead soldier...and dont give me any "thats a rip off, its a lie" bull****

Yea they are small in real life, I saw a real garand in a military museum.

I agree, even if I think this new model got the half of the polygons...
But only nomad and poly reached the perfection :D

they are not small

maybe it would make a difference if u held it....

Very Nice I really can't wait to see if dod_Charlie will make Beach map Funny and intense! :P

I held one and I too found it shorter than I expected it to be.

On a similar subject...am I the only person here who thinks most of the p_models are too long? Not only are they nearly the same height as the player, but perhaps shortening them would make it look better when crouching...the gun would dissapear into the floor.

I hope someone can correct those origins once we will bealbe to d/l it. The last time I tried to change the origins it took me 5 hours to figure it all out, mess around with the program and mess with the origins :p

There will be plenty of re-origins within a few days of release, i wouldnt be surprised :D

whoa whoa slow down, im sorry for the mix up. i didnt mean big in length, i meant in width, and how bulky it is. at some parts i cant even touch my thumb to my middle finger when holding it in the middle

it looks nice, i cant wait to smack someone with it.

Same. :D

Im with you on that note, I did notice that it was quite a bulky rifle - I asumed it was becuase of the semi-auto ga action.

I don't really like the aiming reticule at the end of the rifle. The "W" Looks way too big. Same on the carbine, but oh well. Looks good nonetheless.

And so sorry for calling it 1.0 guys, but seeing as how it's not in beta stage anymore... I don't know why everyone's so picky about it. I just recently broke the habit of calling it Beta 4 and having everyone chew me out haha.

why are u sorry for calling it 1.0? 1.0 is the right way...

Looks good, but I still think Nomad/Poly's looks better, btw, Whats up.. I'm back. :D

I dont reconize 3 quarters the people who are registered here..i doubt anyone will remember the legendary Whap...

anyway..the garand is decent compared to some custom stuff that has been released...its just...too plain of a skin and poorly origined.

Haha, I know. 1.0 is what it's supposed to be called, but earlier in the thread everyone was fighting about it. Drives me crazy.

yea me 2, i especially hate it when im playing in one of my favorite servers, and im talking with someone about 1.0, then some nub freaks out and starts spamming that the next version is 4.0 and that 1.0 was the first version of dod, lol. thats the **** that pisses me off

Whap = Funny pic. guy.

Hey, Whap, do you have a site or anything for the pictures you made? Or do you just keep 'em laying around on the HD next to the porn? :eek:

:confused:

Looks a little weird I think I liked the old one better :(
but hey that garand ain't really bad just weird.

damn i cant wait :D its going to be sooooo sweeeeeeet running kamikaze with a garand up the beach.... while MG's keep trying to blow you away.... makes me wanna see a war movie :D

yyup, in the 3.1 I've edited the p_models' qc in order to shorten those models. :p

the garand looks very good, though i hope that the garand model made by nomad and the skin by polygon is going to be converted, probaly so :D

And the map itself looks very promising, looks like the allies finally have a decent chance on getting up to the bunkers.

looks good!

That looks really good...and I am also considering bying DoD retail when it's possible. It's been way too long since I bought a game...mainly cause there's been very little of interest.

I hear you. Nothing out there is really worth the money. I will most definately get DoD so I can have the new shell and music and new features in the UI instead of having to wait for the next Half-Life patch.

TEH KAR! :eek:

HOLY SH*TE THE KAR LOOKS GREAT!!

personally i think it looks nasty, the default Garand in 3.1 is even worse, the angle looks ok, but it looks too square!

I will be patient!

Voodoo

That kar is delicious!

new Garand is excellent, and so is the KAR, but im definately going to change the origins on these...

the new Garand and K98 blow. They r way 2 low poly. If all the weapons r like this, then I'll have 2 use all custom :mad:

Greco, the team doesn't implement super high poly models, because that would make it harder for people still playing DoD on old machines, which I would bet is a fair portion of the community (One of the attractions of HL is that it is still a great game but does not require an uber powerful mahcine to run). So, the team has had to comprimise poly count for playability. I think that that comprimise has been well handled. The models may not have many thousands of polies, but they still look fantastic. For that, I congratulate the dev. team modellers.

well said Conscript.:)

Overall shape is ok, metall parts are great but i don`t like this wood, especialy under barrell ending.

so do i :(

Yeah, Conscript, I know wat u r sayin, but, just imagine if all the game companies thought the way that the DoD team did. No one would push their games to the limit, because they would b worried that the guys w/ older pc's couldn't handle the games. If all the companies thought this way, then gaming technology would never progress cuz they would b held back by guys w/ old pc's. I mean, DoD looks bad enough cuz its runnin on HL technology, so the team should make everything as high poly as possible so it doesn't look as bad.

Kar looks awful.

welcome back bishop.

Dont do anything stupid this time. :)

Good point - but game companies who are working on outstanding new graphical engines will expect their audiences to be those with high spec machines, whereas the DoD team is fully aware that alot of people who play HL play it because of its low system requirements. I see you point, but I still think the models are great. They have their own unique style about them which sets DoD apart form any other mod, or even game. Much as I would welcome high poly models though, we are lucky to have such a great custom community out there, which is as good as in most cases :)

the models are good, but the origins are terrible IMO. the ends of the barrel are way to close to the crosshair, and it looks as though the player is holding the gun at a VERY akward angle. bring on shoulder view conversions!!

I have never seen a German k98, but I recently fired a Finish Mauser, and I didn't think it seemed short. I thought it looked big and scary. Though maybe there is a bigger difference between the German and Finish mauser than I thought...

personally i think it looks nasty, the default Garand in 3.1 is even worse, the angle looks ok, but it looks too square!

what are u talking about voodoo? this version is much more realistic, and MUCh more round, the 3.1 is all slanted edges.....

this is like the top edge of the one in 3.1 / \

!!!

is it just me or do the kar sniper rifle and the regular kar look like bf1942 models. i'll find pics or whatever but i swear they like the same

Yea? I don't know about that. New garand and K98 looks pretty damn good.

The models look amazing for being low poly.

As the owner of an M1 Garand let me say that, with the exception of the missing leather sling, this is the most accurate M1 Garand model to date - including Nomad and Poly's Garand.

The only thing that needs work is the metal needs to be much darker, and the wood a bit darker as well.

I hope you guys kept the default cross hari from the dod were playing now. Because that cross hair really is not that good compared to the one that comes with dod now.:(
