Anyone? Please?

Because High-poly = better. Thats why.

Every weapon should have at least one cutsom model/re-skin of it ;)

maybe its just me but i think that the default BREN is nice and detailed.

I think the Bren would be the business if it was just reskinned. Sorta like what Polygon did with the default Thompson.

Marzy made a hi-poly Bren model but I haven't heard from him for a while... :(

--like ive been saying, all default models need is a good reskin

Thank you HS the Whap for sharing my philosophy. High poly = less frames per second = better. Heh. It doesn't necessarily even need to be a high poly new model, maybe just a 512x512 Polygon reskin. I recolored my bren black and it looks all nice and such but it just doesn't cut it.

i agree this is long overdue, as in an iron sight one!

What about the glimsharp brit pack Bren? It's a cool model, all it needs is a higher res skin.

I think the default one is pretty damn ugly. The bi pod looks too mini and weedy.

Also they picked the most umcommon style of sights for the bren too, which is weird.

Lets get a nice high poly model out of there!

Uh, no. My dad fired brens when he was with the British army. I showed him the model, and the only problem apparently is the carry handle should be pushed down to the right.

Good choice for your sig. Ultimate M4 Sas.stu/ -x- rocks ass. Too bad counter-strike is an unrealistic piece of ****.

Anyways, yes, default is ok but fugly compared to what we are used to using. Make a new model! Someone!

05-26-2003, 02:56 PM
that ones just a hack, i like the original ultimate m4

Ska Wars

No, the most common sight used during WW2 is like the one in this picture. I've only ever seen 2 WW2 pictures of bren gunners using the type of sight used in DoD, they were not that common as far as i know.

Was your dad a soldier in WW2 or in post war national service or summat like that?

Actually the sights on the DoD version are correct for the period being the 1800yrd folding leaf sites introduced with the MkII in 1941.

Im guessing why the MKI drum site is so prevailent in WWII films is that they were still being produced in foreign countries after 1941 and were probably more attainable to film makers.

That picture isn't from a film. It was taken in arnhem during operation market garden i think.

I think ALL of the default models would kick ass with a good high res skin.

The Cheat

No cheese. Original Ultimate is teh crap. The origins are bad and the skin is too purplish to look realistic. Anyways, i use the m16 hack. And the one with the aimpoint on it.

True, but I have a thing about Lewis guns lol

I begged for one for dod 3.1 for ages, and then tried to make my own (which failed pretty badly lol)

Any chance of you making the SAS version of that knife too?

05-27-2003, 01:56 PM
I thought that was the SAS version, i thought all special forces used it.

All these weapons i hope will end up in mine and Jeds Brit pack, guess time will tell.

Ska Wars

Oh, I'm sure I've seen a version of the Fairbairn and Sykes knife but with the SAS knife & wings symbol on the hilt near the finger guard. There was also a para version too which also had wings on it.

Mabye these were post WW2, I'll try and find the pics im on about.

Heres a pic of what i mean.

As I say, i dunno if these were only pre war things or what, i still think it would look cool

I did make one like that but Jed slapped me, and told me to throw it in the bin.

You idiot! What have you done! lol

Please make it again, i think it'll look cool.

I had a reskin of the Bren that I haven't released yet...still working on it.

That's a bit dark, don't you think?

Dillinger
05-27-2003, 05:01 PM
It looks nice in-game, it's the black background that makes it look really dark.

But like I said I made it for myself, just wanted to see if that was something someone was looking for.

05-27-2003, 05:08 PM
could you post a pic of it ingame...can hardly make it out with the black background

05-27-2003, 05:27 PM
argh just release everything
