Aliens themed mod for Battlefield 2142

[Still Collating...]

Oh nice, loving the look. Looks like the real deal to me.

Again, no texture yet. Just a short teaser. The reloading looks a bit odd but we had to use existing animations and these come from an assault rifle, so it kinda shows.

[The Old One]

Loving the look of it, hopefully no C&D is forthcoming because the upcoming game is also a shooter.

[Frosty98B]

I'm sorry it takes so long but making a weapon with only one or two reference images at your disposal isn't the easiest thing to do.

[Still Collating...]

Take your time. Personally, the last thing I want to see anymore are rushed games. Take all the time you need. I'm just glad to see this project's still going nicely along. Keep up the good work!

[The Old One]

Agreed, retain your attention to detail, don't worry about the time.

Oh, that is sexy. I don't think we've ever actually got one of the CMTM Scoped Rifles in anything other than the CCG.

[Frosty98B]

Still tried to hurry up a bit. It's clearly not finished yet but yay, I think there's been a nice progress.

[Corporal Hicks]

Oh, look at that glorious beast.

[Still Collating...]

Nice and chunky, as it should be.

[The Old One]

So ready for it.
The design is good, the aesthetic is on point. 

[Frosty98B]

I know it took some really long while to finish but those last bits were such a pain in the ass. Modelling of the scope's rubber hood alone took me about 8 hours.

Type 88, a chinese bullpup sniper rifle from Battlefield 2, has animations which should work perfectly with the M42A. At least according to my calculations, haha. I'll try and hurry with the UV mapping, so the gun can actually be exported to the game and I'll let you, guys, know what I found out.

One last thing, I have to mention an M42A-related forum thread which had a few images of the Scope Rifle's miniature model that gave me great insight when deciding how to model certain parts, mainly the barrel area.


A truly magnificent work by the user named CAIN MKII.
If he'll ever read this, I'd just like him to know that he's my hero!

Looking real good

Looking real good 

Thanx! Our texture artist who's been long gone came back out of nowhere and is now working on a proper texture for the M42A!

And we've got this beast. Though, only a placeholder model, it's quite fun to play with.
Capable of locking on a target within the range of 100 meters and coming with both full-auto and four-round burst firing modes.

Expect a little demo release soon.
