Can someone tell where can I find a realistic M249?

(If you can, post a pic of it too)

I want to use it with my New soldier(here's the post):

I´ve just tested the MG´s from InQUisiToR´s High Detail Weapon PAck, he put the sounds and gunsights from AA:Army Operations on the M249...i really like it !!

HighDet. Weapons

But ToW Mod and Taiwan Workshop have also released very good M249´s.

I would go with the High Detailed weapon pack.

[Rifleman 0]

i personally dont like the highdetail pack, the jpg textures cause performance issues if you get many soldiers using them

i dont mind the m249 sights, and i like the m60 sights, but the m16 and m4 sights i dont like at all, cant see anything out of them,

now the m16 from suchey and earls marines is extremely nice, the sight is the nicest i have seen, and thats on the beta current conflict marines

[earl 0]

Thanks rifleman! I'll have an M249 to challenge all M249s in the not-extremely-distant future.

man earl, those MARPAT boys sure do look nice, id love to get my hands on those. Back on topic- The BAS M249 is being redone i think, but you can expect a good one from them

[Rifleman 0]

ok, when and played around with some of the different m249s i got in my addons folder

the one with the sjb srt team is nice

and if you want one with a acog scope the one with the bas rangers and deltas is nice to

one more thing to think about, if you use the high detail m249 then you would have to use all the other highdetail weapons to match it, and cause more performance issues, and if you only used it, it wouldnt look right with the other weapons

i personally would ask permission to use the sjb one

it seems the best all around to me

[Rifleman 0]

your welcome earl

i cant wait for marpat marines and your weapons

back on topic

these are just gonna be regular army guys, right?

so that means the bas m249 prolly wouldnt be the best solution, since its more of a special forces setup on it

Im sorry to hear that Rifleman.I hope your system gets up to date sometime.because I have a blast with those high Detailed weapons.

Standrd M249 is also included in the pack.

well, must have not noticed it along the way or just forgot bout it

guess it would work fine to

looks like you got a few choices

i would go with sjb or bas

of course with thier permission

Maybe you could get one from the Operation Gulf War Crisis mod....they are bound to have stolen someone else's model and applied someone else's texture and made "their own" M249.

You'll get the best m249 there is...a OGWC BAS/Earl/Codeblue/"Insert mod name here" hybrid m249....woo hoo!

I really wish those guys would just give up.....they and their cheating ways have been a scourge on this community since their inception.

Edit: Message to redliner

No offence redliner.....I'm sure their missions are original. But mate if I were you...I'd find a new mod team to work with.

man, i know you are probably right

These days don't they usually give credit to the appropriate addon makers?  I think you're a cool guy Tigershark but I think it would be best not to keep throwing around those kinds of accusations unless they are substantiated.

Personally I like Quakergamer as he's man enough to admit his past mistakes and he's taken alot of sh*t from people calling his legit addons crap (and worse things) without usually getting too upset.  At least he tries to make original addons and sometimes does a decent job with them... I just wish he'd fix up his old ones like that desert cammo Paladin M109 with the M2 machine gun that's way too big or that old Challenger tank addon that had some bugs in it.  

So yes that mod team has made some bad mistakes in the past but I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt and encourage them to always try to do original addons, or at the very least to ask permission to use other people's addons and to give them proper credit.

Anyhoo... when it comes down to it, most MOD teams are using some variation of the M-249's from the Taiwan Workshop MG pack anyways.  

Overall I think the BAS M249's are fairly good and I've fired the M249 many times in real life. The sound is perhaps not quite what I remember it sounding like, but I think they still sound fine. They do however shake around quite a bit.

I personally found it difficult to keep the rounds on a target beyond 100 meters for more then a 4 round burst. Anyhoo, at first I had thought that the M249's were too big... but then when I looked at some pictures of me holding an M249 I realized that it was bigger then my memory suggested.

My only suggestions for a better M249 would be to improve the sound (although it's not really a big issue), and more importantly to try and make the tracer fire look more realistic with fatter and possibly slower moving tracers. I'm not sure if that's possible but it might be worth messing around with to see if some very cool looking tracer fire could be made that perhaps could be used for both the M249 and the M240 machine guns. Also the bullets should have random ricochet sounds when they hit the ground. This adds to the intensity of firefights I think and is something that should be added to all the BAS weapons. The Kord 12.7mm machine gun addon is an example of a weapon that has this effect on its ammo. It's pretty intense when you're getting fired on by a Kord gunner.

I love you man, at last someone with a reasonable comp, that thinks of the others first!!

@Miles Teg, I/we [bAS] have nothing major aganist the guys like leone and redliner, but the mod as a whole seems to have the wrong attitude.

I recently noticed that GalcomT was up to his old tricks again with Deliltmons Landrovers, followers on OFPEC would know that lilty put a hell of a lot of work into them, only to have GalcomT advertise them as "his".

This was flagged up to the guys, and the proper credit was given (all in the space of 10 mins - suspect if you ask me).

I know its harsh, but this is the kind of community, once you've got a reputation, it sticks with you, especially if you keep playing the same old tricks...

true.....true

I personally have nothing against OGWC but I was sad to see Marfy's MTLB turned in to .........

but hey shit happens.

BOT:

I think BAS MG would be ur best choice especially whn Eviscerator releases his updated one

Well what would you say if I said ive made my own model and asked permission to use DeadMe@t's M249 textures ? If thats waht you call stolen well I don't see why you arent saying anything about the High Detail Weapon pack ...

I've been working on our M249 since last summer perfecting it

...maybe because INQUISITOR gave credit to EVERYONE's work he used...

Ah! The BAS recruitement drive continues! *Imperial March plays* (make your own conclusions from that, I've said nothing slanderous)

The only thing that really hacks people of fin cs the skinning/model community is that people take their models wihtout permission and give no credits to the original author.

Its not hard to smack two lines of text in a readme.

Aye myself had a 1911 that I made for CS and found gamesfusion.net bundling my 1911 in their gold membership pack (i.e. you had to pay to get it) Not only that, they did not display any credits at all.

All it took was a strong legal threat and it was taken off their server.

Simple rule to follow.

Give credit always to the original author.

Try and get permission (I know that can be hard as alot of authors don't display their email addresses, but as a favour fi you pass on author names to me and I will supply you with their email address, im in a private CS model/skinning community forum and I have access to everyones email address).

Alot of people may not be bothered with this route, so in that case always display credits, just don't be suprised if the orignal author is non too happy about their work being taken without permission.

p.s Regarding to deadmeats m249, it was a hack model, he got permission from all the orginal authors to make it for CS, you get permission from all the authors of it?

Can someone tell where can I find a realistic M249?

(If you can, post a pic of it too)

I want to use it with my New soldier

If that's what you want, then why don't use InQuisitor's weapons, un-pbo them, change the textures from jpg to paa or pac, but live the first person textures in jpg, bpo it, and there you go, ofcourse, asking and giving credit to every one.

The best part of it, you can change the configuration and make them JAM.

Bugger the M-249! I want someone to make the HK-MG46!! hehe
