Another scifi thing

[mr. Duck 0]

I got inspired by D@nte and his scifi mod in making my own "scifi" mod. Main difference is, well, I dunno, I don't have tanks on tracks (or wheels). They are just some generic sci-fi troops. So, no backstory behind them. You can use 'em as US army troops from 2098 or just Terran marines from the year 2110. It'sup to you to decide what the backstory is for these units. The only exception is the armor. They have marine markings on them, so sorry, no US army tanks from 2098 for this one. The infantry however does not have any marine markings so you could also use them in conjunction with BOH's green westside US army wanzer.

The armored vehicles can not be used as a standalone addon since they require the terran infantry as a crew.

Credits:

Al Simmons for the weapon textures and the Xm-65 series (including the M6PDW, and beta

testing)

BIS for making OFP and resistance.

D@nte who inspired me for doing this stuff (+ beta testing and showing me how to make shadows (and making the shadows too for the vehicles).

Bungie for making masterchief, the ODST and the battlerifle.

The makers of ground control 2 (eagle icon).

The makers of Quake 4 (sounds).

The IDF for making the merkava 3d baz, the most sexy tank (IMO) in the world.

The terrans are grouped into three sections.

West ->Terran Infantry

These are the regular (marine) infantry. It contains:

- Rifleman

- Squad leader

- Anti Air/Vehicle Specialist

- Grenadier (HE)

- Grenadier (AT)

- Armor crew

- Support Rifleman (or machinegunner)

- Combat Medic

West -> Terran Armor

- M3 Geryon MBT (A standard battle hover tank)

- M4 Pegasus APC (A heavy APC, think of the Israeli Achzarit or Namera)

West -> Terran SpecOps

- SpecOps assault

- SpecOps MG

- SpecOps recon

- SpecOps AT

Well, below is the download link for both the troops and the armored vehicles.

Ok, now that the infantry and armor is out. Expect some air units in the future.

I'm not expert in textures whatsoever, but I do have a lot of experience in photoshop. so if you could send the base textures I could have a go at editing and improving them for you.

Not promising anything too special though, and I simply don't know how to make textures from scratch..

Nice model mate

This is much better than lasers,Bugs and other things

Looks good.

And just cause it's scifi it doesn't have to be lasers and stuff, for example the Halo-games, the humans still use bullets in their weapons.

So it will work both ways, up to you I guess.

Good work, keep it up!

Looks great.

nice job mate i hope you will find someone to help you with the textures.

Those marines look great!! I have been looking for good marines from the future as an addon. I can't wait for the release!

[CRIONYK 0]

argh they are so beautiful !!! hope you will release them faster

[mr. Duck 0]

I'm planning on doing more vehicles (well, maybe one more ground vehicle but not more, but definitly a gunship and a fighter).

So far here's a global idea how things are gonna be released:

1.

Weapons & infantry

2.

Armor

3.

Air vehicles

Anyway, the weapons and infantry could be released soon (but don't expect anything this month), only need to make some dedicated anti-armor/air (multipurpose weapon, hey it's the future...) weapon.

And I need to tweak em a bit, they're kinda very deadly (except to the predator, but those things slaughter all OFP infantry), AT grenadier with it's gauss grenade launcher (M203 in the future) can demolish a BMP in one shot

@xcess

Thanks for your offer dude, I'd aprreciate it, but I don't think that'll be of much use. There's not much room for improving square textures (kinda hard to explain), you really need to take a look at the model itself to really be able to improve.

Looks cool dude ,kinda reminds me of NOD infantry. Any chance you could have a specialty unit with the pread cloak?

Maybe later when I have (somewhat) finished the three above packs. I don't want to delay releases by adding more and more units when I want to. I have a hard time already trying to make up models (I'm trying to make up some kind of futuristic rocket launcher with a size slightly larger than a LAW).

[shaun2002 0]

hey this looks great, i like the gun in pic what is it?

[the amazing flight lizard 9]

What about some kinda Halo/Aliens dropship thing? Control scheme etc. same as a helicopter, just able to go faster, maybe use the turo script from the airwolf mod if he'll let ya.

I'd like not to be unpatient, but any progress on this one?

[Kirby 2]

EDIT: Uh... Ill help with textures if I can, but i just re-read the posts.

[lawkim 0]

I would love to help you with photoshop texturing.

Those are nice looking units!

I want to texture them so they would look like the units from battlefield2149

[mr. Duck 0]

I finished an early beta, it's nothing spectacular, I just wanted to give y'all something to fight with against aliens and all them xeno-scum.

Feedback is welcome, ideas are appreciated and will be considered.

OMG!! I've been waiting for this forever!

Very cool units

I played a few editor missions with them against Hitchen's Space Invaders (could really have used some heavy support against those spider tanks).

A few ideas:

- A heavy marine/power armour unit.

- A stealthy, cloaked spec-ops unit (sort of like the Predator addon).

Also, I think such unique units are crying out for a suitable island and OPFOR.

I'm looking forward to future releases of these guys and their support units.

[Deathstruck 375]

Will you make your own optics?

Id like to see through the optics some datas,parameters etc.somethig like in M29 OICW(or Terminator addon?)

Yeah I have some armor support for them but, but those spider tanks still remain a deadly adversary (there's a problem with the spider tank geo lod I think, cuz sometimes missiles/bullets/shells will shoot through them at certain areas).

The armor stil lacks an acceptable interior (currently working on it)

Hmm, a heavy marine would be somewhat problematic since I need

new anims for that (since they would become quite bulky), and I have zero experience with making anims so far.

Specops will be done, someday, but i'll finish the support first.

@S.Lee

I just got help for the optics, so that'll be under way.

Here's some armor. Note that I also have an APC ready (but still no interior).

Nice job mr duck. I really like the M12 and its grenade launcher's firing sound, but the units look nice also. They really look like they are wearing a metal or sorts, as opposed to just a flat texture.

The tank and those aliens in the background look good to play with also.

[SnFS_5hole 0]

Love em already

Just a couple thoughts: I love the multi-purpose RPSG, one rocket drops an MBT and it just might be the man-portable anti-Wanzer weapon I always wanted... but IMO the reload time is just a hair too long. I mean, the damn thing can hose an MBT in one shot. I don't think a shorter reload is going to unbalance anything...

Also, though the M12/Gauss combo is pretty versatile, I can't help but think they need a decent support weapon or two. Automatic gauss grenade launcher? Plasma/heavy laser? Good old-fashioned light machine gun? Maybe a marksman version of the M12?

Looking forward to your progress,

Great units

Haha, it took me about 2 minutes to figure out how to download the file at FileFactory. I bet those knuckleheads are making alot of money with those ads along with the intentional refreshing just to get to the download itself.

Edit: Just tried them out and was very impressed!

Edit2: You can get some excellent Sci-Fi ideas from the MMOFPS Planetside. They got some really good looking units in the New Conglomerate (blue and yellow guys) and a few in the Terran Republic (red and black guys).
