Replacement marine model concept

Carbon14

<div class="IPBDescription">Seing what people think before i make</div>Well, do you think it is interesting/good enough?

Asraniel

looks realy good.... but why do we need new models? You could make a female marine model, that would be useful...

Llama_Killer

its good hoever I just love the current marine models so i might not replace em yet... but your good maybe you should make a female marine model?

edit damn he beat me to it...

Mouse

I thought it was carbons concept for the other marines if MvM gets put in NS

Freemantle

I think it's sweet, but it dosent feel like it fits NS. Full-body coverage is kinda... essintial.

TychoCelchuuu

I don't like the backpack or the bare arms, but I think this would fit in NS.

Ginger

yeah they aint too bad... maybe some one else could use them if they make another mod?

Moleculor

Yeah, the backpack bothers me, and the bare arms seem... Odd.... Perhaps patches of metal, as if they weren't entirely human (cyborgs?) or something?

pielemuis

blabla backpack balabla arms
might wanna change that helmet looks more like a motorcycle helmet, the ones they use for motocross

Tzarcon

That looks AMAZING! I would use that more than the regular models!

Battousaix

I really like it, but put some more armor in the arms

JediYoshi

Seems like some kind of scout. Not really a fighter but like a spy to help out the commander... Good job, as usual.

Necro

ya...the backpack and bare arms...also why r his arms BACKWARDS <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Windelkron

well the thing is, his helmet doesn't match with the bare arms

kind of like, why is he wearing huge amounts of protection for his head and not wearing a thing on his arms?

BTW, it does look alot like a motocross helmet :x


On an OT note: Does anyone know how to run with a backpack on, without it jumping all over the place on your back?  If so, please tell D:

Most of em have chest straps and stuff.

That would make a perfect mercenary. It would still be M vs. M. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Just fix the arms up a bit and add more "stuff" to him. Straps and the like.

EDIT: In reply to Epoch. I'm against changing the original models but I think they would work perfectly as the second human team in Human vs. Human conflicts.

Epoch

I can't believe you guys are actually discussing changing the models in the game before it's even released, and Natural Selection models at that!

Personally, I don't really think it fits the theme of Natural Selection, and the bare arms really turn me off.

Oh well, suit yourselves (no pun intended).

Sorry, but here in America, the Second Amendment to the Constitution is the right to bare arms.

Heh.

Sorry, I should have been clearer, it IS intended as a concept for MvM.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll certainly fix some stuff up. However, I am not interested in reality, I am more interested in the looks of the model. If you think about it the current marine model is unbeleivably unrealistic, I mean how could you possibly get a decent verticle view from a helmet with a horizontal slit for a visor. A vertical view would be essential for any sort of servival with aliens crawling on the cieling and flying around. IT's more the style that the model has that is important.


.:EDIT:.

BTW, can one of the devs tell me if there is actually any possibility of MvM. IF theay are running near the weapon limit, it is going to be pretty bad if the two sides have the exact same weapons. Is there any way to have two models for the same weapon?

I have changed the helmet some, added upper arm armor and added a shirt, it looks much bettew now <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

TychoCelchuuu

Hey, in CS both sides have the same weapons, and you don't see that being all unpopular like.

Gwahir

while it is well drawn, I don't get the feeling of a futuristic fighter who know's his business.

Kaine

well i like it. i think if there was a model like that i would prolly use it over the default ones. only thing is the helmet  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> it looks out of place with the bared arms. i like the style tho- almost like some kind of rogue soldier.
