I guess you eventually run out of original ideas after a while since almost every gun has been made for CS/any Half-Life mod.. but personally, I didn't like Halo much. :-)

Eww, this model brings shame to both the great Halo and P90 names.

Okay firstly quickly, the sounds included don't sound like the ones in Halo at all.



The modelling. Is. Horrendous. Firstly, the main body is too thin to be the Halo body, even if you were playing Halo on a 4:3 TV. Then again, the screen-y-thing is about as wide as it is when you play Halo on a widescreen TV. I'd love to know what the hell they were doing when they were working out the scale of this gun. Aside from that this model is simply too blocky and angular to be the Halo rifle. Also, the forearm is horrible.

(and yeah, I have played the game. In fact I was playing it this morning so I know what I'm on about)



The skin is no better - it's inaccurate to the gun and looks nasty by any standards anyway. Blurry, misaligned textures are not fun. Neither is trying to recreate a weapon from another popular game and getting it the wrong colour. This gun seems to be on a gradient from dark blue to mid gray, and that's wrong, in Halo the gun was all light gray with a few details picked out in dark gray and silver, and the only blue was on the damn screen. Speaking of which, they couldn't have made a worse screen if they tried. You know, there is in fact a Halo assault rifle model out that, which I currently use as my FAMAS model (but which originally came as a P90), which has the screen perfectly deigned, which also flicks display to change when you reload etc. This one on the other hand is totally static, and doesn't even look like the Halo one to boot. Next up is the strip across the top of the gun - now on this model the strip is flat gray, with a slight 'glow' from the screen. WRONG. You know how the strip should be? Well firstly on the model it should be curved, but on the skin it should be light gray, and it should be a 'chrome' texture so the lighting moves with the animations. Because frankly, that's how it is in Halo. Evidently whoever made this never actually played the damn game. They also messed up the skin for the ammo magazine, and there's this little green power button on the side which you never saw in Halo so I don't know what the hell it's doing here.



Next up are the animations, by far the worst part of this model. These animations are simply put, nothing like the Halo rifle's original animations. And a copy of the original Halo animations are out there for CS by the way. But no, this model has some random generic bullpup animations - and in fact are they not only generic and not at all like the original Halo animations, but they're nasty too! Great! The idle animation is horrible and nauseating, makes you feel like you're standing on a bleedin' raft made of twigs, the reload is boringly basic and takes up a good 1/4 of your screen while going through it, the draw animation is bouncy and doesn't resemble the Halo draw in any way at all, and I don't know what the hell is going on with the shoot animations but not only do they not look like how the gun in Halo fires, but in fact they don't look like how any gun anywhere fires. They sort of don't recoil up and backwards properly, they just kind of recoil up and to the side. I've never seen a gun recoil sideways before. And don't even get me started on the origins - both inaccurate to the game and nasty full stop.





All in all, not even an average replacement. Go find the other Halo rifle on Google, it's 100x better then this. Or just go play Halo itself, something that the makers of this model obviously never did. You have no reason to use this model, even if you've played Halo to death like I have. Just don't touch this model.

A great first model try, and experience is experience. Bokuho, why don't you go into the modelling / skinning biz. - you seem to know a lot about it.



I found the link for what I think bokuho was talking about the "much better" halo assault rifle, and I do agree, 'tis wonderful. You can get it here

It's the "Halo AR Counter-Strike model" one.



Check out the rest of that halo section, it's actually quite interesting. A lego warthog for instance :-)

I don't understand you people. Its decent, given there are a few un-needed tri's but it's not like this is the only model out there that isn't fully optimized. The animations are average milkshape job, I'd like to see any of the people that complained about them to attempt to match them, or make them better. And if you're complaining about a moving idle animation then you're quite un-resourceful as fixing an idle animation as such is a five minute job. TOPS. If the tri count were 3000, and not 1358 I would understand peoples judging of the modeling, but there is truly no room for complaining about it.



The complaint about the gun not looking like the halo AR, try looking at a screenshot now and then.



And a little side note for everyone, if you don't like what someone posted in their review and you added nothing to your review I will delete it without thinking twice. In fact I want you all to read the rules as you broke the third rule of SOTD reviews.

This is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

[Killer Hamster]

the model sucks, it doesnt look like the halo rifle at all, and why an R? why not some nifty green thing with a crosshair on it? or just have it always show a full clip....the arm is nasty as well, just not a very good job of doing a halo assault rifle

I think its rather nice. Ok, so what if its not EXACTLY like the halo rifle. It has a quiet nice design and if you change the origins a bit it looks pretty good.





hey anyone else noticed this weard guy? (I filled in the colours)

[Gizmus(Silent)]

Look, its not that bad you hippies,



Just the pics they took look like shit... try messing with the origins a bit and it will look fine.



Christ, ive seen worse, havent you?
