umm you messed up the link lol

[Ritchey007]

I fixed it before you posted the comment :P

[OnE9]

this is interesting!

[KhAoS]

wow. i wish they would hold something like this in canada. oh wait they do but my clan is all in the states.

[Crimson Phantom]

Very nice,especially if your a Matrix fan. Problem is the size and the fact that it has some stretched textures

[the monkey]

Do my eyes deceive me or is the a UMP that looks like a UMP? And to top it off it looks pretty good, I would give it a 10 if they took off the m203, and fixed the textures.

[NightSh4de]

its not every day you see a UMP. This one is ok but I'm waiting for some ones anims...



Ok the skin looks really stretched out looking. The stretches toward the back look really odd. The skin is generally bland.(like usually in an UMP )



I don't like the M203 on the front, Looks odd on a ump. the origins also seem quite odd. The orange reflex sight is odd to. That is an easy change though to make it blueish clear like they are. I never paid much attention to the matrix movies since I don't care for them so I cant say if it looks like the one from the movie.



Good things time. Stoke redid Strykers anims really nicely. The fit the ump pretty nice but I'm still waiting for some one elses. I might hack it up a little bit and use it.



Scores: -1 for bland stretched skin, -2 for M203 and orange sight, +1 for anims. Its definitely one of the best UMPs out there,

i dislike the aimpoint thing, but the rest is goooood.

[Velocd]

Awesome. I`ve been waiting for someone to skin this.

[Gizmus(Silent)]

grr, i told him it wasnt a 203, i told him it was just the handle, but he didnt listen...



O well, 10/10 cus its really nice and S70K3 is mah buddy!!!



But im still gonna bitch slap him for not taking the end off...

[exwhyze]

if the m203 and aimpoint was taken off, this would be a ten

[elite-mafia]

nice 1 but I think there is a lil too much black. Also, the hand on the idle animation looks bent backwards.

[scan_03]

Awesome! I love this model, especially the animations!

Note: To Giz- That IS an m203 grenade launcher, notice the trigger in front of the receiver?

[Urban Terror]

I think this is a very nice model and skin with a few problems.



The skin is nice. The thing I dislike about the skin is the scratches near the back of the gun. They look too big in game. Also, the skin seems to be a mix of dark gray and black. I'm not sure if its supposed to represent fingerprints on the gun or lighting effects or something. It isn't too apparent, but it is there. I think the skin on this model was aiming to make it look used and worn, and it did do a good job, even if it's not exactly what I would like to see on an UMP. I would like to see a jet black skin that makes the gun look brand new, or at least taken care of.



The modelling here is excellent. It looks like a real UMP, unlike some of the UMP replacements in the CSN skin archives.



I think the only other things I don't like about this replacement, other than the animations, are the scope, (even though it pulls off some magnificent transparency effects) and the attached grenade launcher. In game you cant tell its a grenade launcher, and if anything it looks more like a grip, which is good.



The reason I don't like the animations is because... Well, I don't think they fit the UMP. I didn't like the draw animation when I saw it on Birdhouse's AK47, and they don't look much better on this UMP. Also, the reload animation is too fast. When I reload in CS I like to look at my gun, but with this replacement I found myself looking at the ammo meter to see if my gun was reloaded yet, because the reload animation was just too fast! I think default animations would have been a lot better for this model, just slightly edited, since the defaults are made for a gun with a handle, and not a grenade launcher grip.



The sounds are a nice touch added to the model, but I'm not using them. I think they're just a bit on the soft side, firing a USP is louder than firing an UMP while using these sounds, and they both use the .45 caliber bullet.



Like I said, great model and skin. It has a few errors, but it's still the best current UMP replacement, certainly the best CSN skins has to offer.
