I think everyone who has looked carefully ingame at the BAR, or seen in HLVM that it has only ONE hand. Now i'm not to sure on this but I think you kinda need two hands to hold up and fire a BAR. Could someone please add the other hand onto a BAR model (Prefferably devin's with Bittles new anims :p ) It would really look so much nicer ingame. Thanks in advance!

PS, Dillinger check ur PM. :)

it doesnt have a second hand because you wouldnt see the other hand in-game.

Yes I believe if you did add a second hand, in some parts of the anims you would see a bit of his thumb and a bit of his hand.

who cares? its just a hand dude, do you acutally think youre going to take the time to notice your hand in the heat of battle?

ok ok, i guess your right. But please for the next person who makes a BAR model, plz, think of the hands.

they didnt add the hand, because they didnt need to...
if its not into view, then they didnt add it...

if they did, they would have extra unessessary(sp) polys in the model

k guys plz, enough with the negativity. I know how polys work and shiz, i'm not a newb so please, don't treat me like one.

I refer you all to my signature... and notice it says BETA not VERSION. Thank you.

whut does RN mean?

;)
[edit] u'll own me if u get it

Random Nonsense... I OWNED JOO

NOOO!!!!

I too find this rather annoying, there are times that it's more noticeable, and it makes it difficult to reorigin and keep it looking good. I'm surprised so many people took the time to post how they don't want that. I've never fully understood why anyone does that, and I doubt I ever will. Some people may not notice or care, but others do.

On a related note, the bar has no draw animations, it just appears on-screen, it'd be nice if someone could put together an animation for that.

i wish it had a second hand! D: I dont care if you notice it or not.. it may work nice if anyone ever decided to reorigin it...

trigger hop on aim

The DoD Team remove any part of the model that cannot be seen in game. They do this to cut down on poly's and keep the size of each model file to a minimum.

Dunno if any of you have held a BAR ?

I have - several times and I have "tried" to reload it (mag in/out) just like the anims in DoD. Im not a weak fella by any means - but I can tell you that there is no way you can hold the BAR with one hand and pull out the mag as it does in DoD (even worse in BF1942 - its like a toy BAR !!) - the BAR is a heavy bit of kit !! Feels nearly as heavy as the Bren.

Ill no doubt re-animate the BAR with more "realistic" reload anims - oh yes, it will have two hands !

:)

Can't wait Glimmy ;)

yay for glimmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i don't care what people say. the one-hand-BAR pisses me off to no end. ever since we were introduced to the model in 1.3, i noticed it almost instantly. i've learned to ignore it, but i still don't like it.

Well, we can't just stand here staring at our fingers. Although...

They call 'em fingers, but I never see 'em fing... There they go.

Man, then Rieben must have been one strong mother...
at the scene where he tells ryan "Hey *******! we lost two of our guys lookin for you." he holds it up with one had, with ease. probobly made of rubber or something.

i'm pretty sure that bar is Ankalars. Devin rarely ever makes anything of his own and when he does its the holy shat. So yea. Two hands would seem logical to me when you are firing a light machine gun.

The weapons used in the filming of Saving Private Ryan were real. They weren't imitations and they weren't remade with new parts. It is possible to hold a bar up with one hand like he did on the bridge, and he didn't hold it up for very long. You'll notice it was resting on his arm. Yea.

Oh i'm sorry if it is Ankalars. As a matter of fact i think it is. Glim r tez legend. *me bows to Glim and hopes to someday see him on the Re-enactment field* :D
