Machinegun

Makes me want to go on a shooting spree... in the Arenas Eternal of course. :)

Much improved over That of the Huge Rifle Butt, no offense intended to the creator of the original model. Who was that, anyway?

That would be Hedhunta, who also did the Strogg Blaster, Shotgun, SSG, Grenade Launcher, and Rocket Launcher models. I modeled the new Machinegun, Chaingun, Hyperblaster, and the BFG10K. Renalicious did the railgun, and Tabun did the Hand Grenades. Tab skinned all of them, of course.

Hed really didn't have a lot to work with, and I was never really happy with the model as a result. I don't consider the old machinegun a reflection on his skills, as his other models are quite good. The problem with the Quake 2 models was that the 3rd-person machinegun was difficult to understand visually, and the first-person model was so radically different it wasn't terribly useful as a pattern either. That makes it hard on the modeler to translate it well. I tried to interpret the features of both, while throwing in some real-world weapons knowledge to make something that looked believable as a weapon and also distinctly "Quake 2" in appearance, while keeping in sync with our existing style.
