Well... i dunno if it will be fair to compare them with RO or other new games and mods but still...
Do you like those models (player and v models) ?
Which is your favourite model and which one do you dislike the most ?

Open discussion :-)

P.S
Skining of course is included :)

My favorite model would be all of them, but skinning wise, they aren't all that great, but the best skin/model would probobly be the german stick grenade. Runner-up would be the garand model.

The thompson skin, um.....as for the model, it just needs a little tweaking but i'd have to say the thompson is probobly the worst out of all..model & skin.

Agreed.

Models I especially like:

Enfield
Bren
Piat
Webley
Garand (FOV perfectly matches when playing on low resolution crappy laptop)
Kar98
Kar43
FG42
MG42

I hear the Trade Federation Droid army, and G.I. Joe player model packs are quite sexeh... :rolleyes:

...

Best models:

Lee enfield
M1 Garand
K98
FG 42 (both)
Webley
MG 42

Bad models:

Thompson
Gewehr 43
American MG (sorry, can't recall the name right now)

The Stengun is good, it's a shame it doesn't correspond with the playermodels (wich holds the sten at it's mag).

IMHO, every model in DoD looks great compared to other HL1 mods.

Overall, i like the FG42 and Greasegun most.

Thompson, K43, 98k, Garand, Springfield and Mp44 have really big scaling problems (due to "FOV").

Thompson, K43, Springfield and BAR have weak skins.

The player models are fine though, except this long trousers (sp?) of the axis railgun model.

tbh I haven't been able to stand default models since around b2.0. The real winner (or rather, loser I suppose) is the current official Thompson model. Good lord.... The default b3.1 Thompson was the epitome of beauty compared to the v1.x model.

I like the player models, their construction and skins are quite nice. The animations aren't all that great though.

The weapon models are fine, most look good enough, though I really like the Springfield and Garand best.

The hands are not so great though and the animations could be better.

The us-inf player models look pretty good except for the boots. They're too square and don't really look like combat boots. They look like brown dress shoes with some strange brown socks.
Us-para's have ugly, square faces and the foliage-like cloth ...stuff(errmm....) looks like square pieces of paper coming from their helmet.
Axis-para isn't that bad.
On the axis-inf the part i don't like is the long pants like Kraut said. I usually change the body on my models to have the k43 legs. Other than that they look pretty good.
The only weapon models i really don't like are the thompson and the BAR. The thompson is just plain goofy. The whole FOV scaling technique went pretty far overboard on that one. And the BAR just has a weird greenish, gray skin that doesn't look natural. And a lot of the weapon skins have a bright, weak color to them.

Yes, the player models look really good compared to what other HL mods (and HL itself) have. Well... the US's paratrooper models are kinda :eek:

All the first person weapon models look great for the most part, but like as said, some of the models took a really big dose of FOV (i.e the thompson model *yuck*). The skins look extremley good for such a low resolution

all of the models are crappy compared to some of the custom ones out there....

I vote for all new models for DOD:S

They should be on the cover of Playboy:carrot:

Fav models:

Bren
Webley
Carbines
STG44

Hated models:

British player models (What a cop out they were :rolleyes: )
K98 (I jus really don't like the FOV on it, dunno why though)
Spring
Fairbarn (more for the lack of decent animations and effort than owt else)

yes, the knife animations are HORRIBLE, hold a knife like that and start stabbing that way and see how stupid it is. I guess the animations are set to show more of the model :rolleyes:

Favorite Model

Mg42
:glaces down:

I think the models are decent overall. The FOV alters the look of some of the v models a little bit too much in some cases though (i.e KAR and Enfield for example).

My favourite playermodel would have to be the Americans, they look totally ok. Don't like the axis at all though.

V model-wise I think the best model is the Mg-34.

My two cents.

Well the worst model is definately the Thompson - I've never been able to stand that, especially since the 3.1b one was so sexy..

The best stock model is probably the garand, or that's what I remember from my non custom days, I've always liked it then. I think the bar is pretty good too a little blue maybe..

No, wait, I forgot! The Kar98 Sniper skin is the prettiest of the prettiest, every other stock-skin fades into grey dullness when compared to it..:p

The Scope Kar was always my favorite, mainly because of its scope sprite, the sound (mainly the fact that i could not STAND the damn springfield sound) and the texture but Brutals beautiful wood texture (the light one) is what I am currently using

I would have to say that my favourite would be the K98, would like it more if the bayonet was taken off and you gave us butt stock hit instead. My least favorite would be, like everyone else, the tommy gun, it has a weird feel and look around the front grip is the main problem I think. Since iron sights seem out, I would like the models to be a bit closer to the face because it feels like your looking down the sight more. Kinda like that one model pack that came out that just moved all the original DoD models closer to the crosshair and face. Which by the way rocked and I am still using that today!

i dont like foved models, so i dont like the defaults. except for the colt, the colt is ok :)

I used to hate the K98 model, but now I love it. I dont know why...

I like the pistols as well.

Haven't played with the defaults from b2.1 After that i've been customizing as many .mdls as possible, especially v_ weapons and player models.

i use all the 3.1b models, apart from a k98 custom model i downloaded a few days ago. the >1.0 weapon models don't look realistic at all, especially the k98. they all look plastic.
the 3.1 thompson is my favourite weapon model of them all, with the reload anim where he lifts it up with his left hand and switches mags with his right.

the RO kar98 from the version before the current one (2.0 i think) is my favourite of any game. very realistic with great textures and modelling, and sounds also. i don't know why in 3.1 though they made it so every time you reload he tries to jam the clip in and pull the last bullet out, instead of just pushing the bullets down and throwing the stripper clip away. takes about 20 seconds to reload now, it's like the soldiers you play never even had the most basic weapons training before they were sent out to fight.

I think they all look good.

I like all of the original models. Custom models always feel so out of place amidst everything else, especially custom player models, for me.

One question though, some of you have referred to the models as "FOV." Heh, I don't know close to anything about customizing models, and don't know what that means - can anyone tell me?

To be honest i think they are all pretty crappy.

I have a garand IRL so looking at the in game one makes me sick :D

Thompson obvoiusly is the worst, skin and model.

I like the springfield, it gets the job done. I downloaded some custom that just reskined the metal to make it darker and i think its about as perfect as it can get without being highpoly/res

I think the kar and the scoped kar have really bad skins, almost as bad as the thompson. The models arent too good either, but a good skin on it would help alot.

But most of all, the 3.1 reload animations rocked. espically the thompson and kar :)

I think the worst problem, one that makes custom stuff stand out nice, is that all the skins look white-washed and therefore fake looking.

Agreed. They all look like brandnew to me. I think it would be cooler if they'd show some 'scars' like scratches and wiped-of dirt.

The skins on most all of the defaults aren't very good. As for the models themselves, I like the Garand, Carbine, German MG's, BAR, and the FG42. The rest of them blow, mostly b/c of FOV.
