Really not that nice.



First off, the model. The quality of the modelling is good, though this comes at the price of a 6266 poly count, which is high for a rifle model even by today's standards, and seems a bit pointless since frankly there are equally nice models out there with 1/2 the poly count - so this just pointlessly alienates people. Still, the modelling is good.

Now the skin. Pretty nasty really. It's got an ugly tint to it which is very strong in some parts and then almost non-existant in other areas, which just makes the tint effect even more annoying then it is already. The skin is also under contrasted in some areas randomly, which doens't help it. Other then that it's just a pretty average skin by today's standards.

The animations are boring as hell, and are painfully and unnaturally exact and precise, and they don't flow well at all. For example, the shoot animation is a straight forward slam backwards. While in text this sounds normal, in reality it's literally just a backwards movement, and that's unnatural feeling and thus, bad. Jennifer!! is a decent animator, he just needs to put a more natural flow in 'em. It should also be noted that these animations carry with them one very nasty origin.



Overall, I really wouldn't bother with this replacement given that all the other replacements on the first page of the M4A1 archives (and some on the second) are superior to this. Personally I recommend this myself. Anyway, I won't be keeping this replacement in my models folder for any longer, and I'd be surprised if anyone else did.



It should also be noted that to get to this model you need an extra program called WinRAR as the standard WinZIp won't be enough, so make sure you go get WinRAR before downloading this model.



EDIT:

Well obviously this is just my opinion. That's kinda the point.

WinZip or the standard WinXP decompression is just fine for getting this file, no need for WinRAR or UltimateZip or whatever else.



Glad it doesn't have Jenn's sissy-looking two-finger silencer animation, realistic or not. :) I'd give it a 9.5 if I could, because it's not quite my favorite, but it's unique and masterfully done. Full marks.



[Edit] Two things: First off, the WinRAR comment was due to the .zip file being incorrectly submitted initially, which I fixed quickly after the release, thus the confusion there. Secondly, every opinion counts, whether positive or negative, so long as it's backed up with reasons, and the score isn't unrealistically high or low (like a "Sux... 1!" score). Odds are if one person dislikes it, a few others do as well.

dont listen to anying Bokuho says, everything he said is strickly his opinion and does not take away the fact that this is one of the best replacement for the M4 to date, well done bullet head and everyone else.



you dont need WinRar to open it, and besides you should have WinRar installed anyway, theres no better program for compression. Winzip is crap compared to Winrar.



gets a well deserved 10 out of 10 from me

It's a great model but I hate the folding stock ;/

[NightSh4de]

My personal opinion is I dislike the "blue" tinted skins but I just recolor it and its fine.



@Bokuho: You should make it look more like its an opinion than a review. Then no one would get the wrong ideas.

I like the overall look of it. Very sleek, the folding stock is a nice touch, Jen's anims are perfect as usual. A little on the robotic side, but they're cool nontheless. I would've preferred the silencer anims on this one though. Overall, another awesome M4 package.

[KiGrind]

This must be a home made stock were someone took it off a shotgun.



To start with one of the key features of an M4 is that it has collapsable stock, which is alot better. And well, why would an M4 have a high impact folding stock you would find on a shotgun... I guess they like the extra, un-needed weight.



Overall its a great addition to the un-realistic game of CS. I enjoyed using it for the some odd 6 hours of play while skipping school because I'm "sick" (ha, yeah right...)

[Gizmus(Silent)]

This is nice overall, skins are great, nothing new on main model, i don't really like Pingu's style of skinning but its ok nonetheless, S70K3's skin is flawless besides a small problem w/ lighting you cant barely even see. Although I'm not going to be using this because its an airsoft fanboi deal, its still well done.



I say airsoft fanboi because in reality the weapon cannot function w/out a solid or telescopic stock. But I won't let that bring the score down, because this is just a game.

[ripthejacker420]

Best M4 skin IMO... the other M4 (above this one) was my favorite until i got bored of the huge size of it... i dont know o.O



good job

[Xolias]

I like this one better than the top ranked one. Excellent coloring.
