Was thinking about the weapon models and thought people may have feedback they would like to share. I would say aesthetics are pretty important to me in games. Its easier to become absorbed into the atmosphere if the aesthetics make sense.
That being said I really dont like the weapon models for the DMR or the SMG. I think they are a huge step backward from previous iterations. The barrel for the DMR doesn’t seem like its lined up with the reticle. The awkward angle makes it look like a gun from an old counter strike game. The SMG has a holographic sight that is way to similar to something in call of duty, and why would holographic sights still be used in the distant future anyway? The assault rifle looks great and lines up perfectly. I would say the battle rifle does also. Hate the new look of the sword.
Overall I think the weapon models are far inferior to most next gen fps games like Destiny and Battlefield, and are more along the lines of last gen weapon models. I know this is just a beta but they all pretty much need texture work.
Not too keen on the Magnum, i like the Halo 2 Anniversary one, looks almost like a glock, looks alot more… realistic if that makes any sense for a futuristic game rest of the weapons i dont mind, prophets bane… not too keen on, woulda been cool if they took it away from the sword look and done it as like one short side blade and one longer but alot thinner…
But apart from that, i dont mind them, quite like the SMG with the mag on top, bit like the P90 and the DMR i love!! With the scope it just feels right… theyve done well with that, Br i dont mind too much but they need to make it sound like its firing three shots cos it sounds like its only firing one… which im not keen on
Cant wait to see some covi weapons
Saying that what you said about the sight on the SMG i do somewhat agree… i prefer the ODST one, nice slimline, this one seems alot more chunky and pointlessly big… but yeah i would prefer a smaller sight on the SMG

Ha I made that connection immediately when I saw the reload. I think it looks way better in the previous games. This version looks like you could find it at a local PD currently. Not futuristic.
SpaceRanger- Do you know what will be the difference between the prophets bane and the regular sword?
I think my OCD was kicking in when I was trying to describe the angles of the weapons in regards to lining up with the reticules, but honestly I feel its a just criticism when compared to weapon models in other games of this generation (Destiny, Battlefield). This series is dear to me and I want the game to hold up. Same feeling with the textures. I’m banking on this being a beta.
To say something positive, I’m loving the gameplay and can’t wait to get my hands on a big team battle match!
