It's a really nice one . Best thing to get rid of those damn fortified M2 machine gun posts. Haven't tried it against APCs yet, but the old beta modell was more or less useless against them.

If only it would work with hw t&l (this gun being actually the reason for asking my question about hw t&l in this forum).

Wow, great addon! I love the M82A1, and you guys have done a great job on it.

Question though: it looks like the rounds explode when they impact, is this right? I also went up to a body and shot it point blank, killing myself, so I assume it is.

Also, why wasn't the sight "zoomable" like the M21...never fired a Barrett IRL so I'm not sure how the scope works, but i thought the M82a1 had geater range than the M21.

I tried it out on an unmanned BMP, 12 rounds to kill. Not bad.    All in all, great job! I wish I had the skill to do stuff like this....

P.S. Also like how the heavy sniper gets binocs as part of his regular load. Seems to me it would be sensible for this to be the case with all snipers.

Um, how do I contact the creator to ask these questions?

I still hate HWTL bug!!!!

I just can't stand most of the addons because of it

Anyway M82A1 is just another cheat weapon

[HuBBa 1]

Really...

It's entirely up to you if you wish to download or not. But to call it a cheat weapon is frankly just rude. A lot of work goes into fixing these models, and especially since FlipeR and Lonewolf were the people who actually did most of the research for HOW to do it in the first place.

If it weren't for the addon makers lust for researching and not accepting the fact that we do not have any official tools yet, you would still only have re-textured M21 and SVD's to play with. So unless you have a complete description of the ODOL format and can create your own T&L perfect models, i suggest you show the addon makers a bit more respect.

Or just don't download them...

simple as that..

STRONG AND CLEAR GENERAL HUBBA

i agree with you

[§nake 0]

aww sweet...

we gotta get this on the servers Espect... it's so cool

[Antichrist 0]

Did I say that I didn't like that weapon? Or did I say that I don't appreciate what addon makers have done?

I just said that this is a cheat weapon, its not necessarily a bad thing

[Major Fubar 0]

Maybe it would help if you explain what you mean by cheat weapon?

Do you think it's too powerful? Just curious...

[Antichrist 0]

Yes its too powerful and can shoot pretty freaking far!

So in MP games u pretty much can be in Morton and shoot the bastards in Lamentin Well not really, but u get my point.

Hello:

About the HWTL bug, is their any way of eliminating the muzzel flash in the mod itself. I really want to keep the hardware setting, but the permanent flash really detracks from play. I assume the flash is included in the modelling of the M82A1 gun, but I cannot access it. I tried adjusting a few paramenters but the flash was still present ,oh well. I guess I'm asking if a second version of the M82A1 can be produced that does not include the flash component, the flash is really for cosmetic appearance and wont detrack from the use of the weapon. Oh yea, great weapon mod, I give it (no thumbs) out of two .

Thanks,

Ron

The "flash bug" comes of the fact that we are editing Demo models, which does not contain any Hardware T&L information. thus when you run it in the game, those will by default always be on. Of course we can remove the textures alltogether, but it would be pretty booring, as you would not see if the person fires the gun. Now thats a muzzleflash suppressor worth its money...

My suggestion is to hold out until we get some tools that let us do this with real game models.

And Antichrist, if i misunderstood your post earlier, im sorry. It was the phrasing of it that got to me

I dunno... the scope seems to take a little getting used to, and it seems to have trouble hitting small targets, but after all, I dont think its designed to hit individual soldiers.

BTW: In my humble opinion... THIS IS THE BEST INFANTRY WEAPON ADDON EVER!

Nice weapon and all, but I am dissapointed in its lack of reasonable properties. Fire a few rounds from the Browning in the game. Then fire one from this addon. The Browning has a realistic dispertion value to it, Flipper's M82 bullet is magically faster and more accurate than most conventional rounds, and that's quite against reality. Toadlife's M82 addon that was released a while back (www.ofpeditingcenter.com) much more accurately depicts the weapon, an inaccurate jumbo gun that blows teeny tiny holes in things, but can punch through light armor.

Trust me, if you're shot by the thing it's probably from a firing range a few kilometers away that missed the targets.

[§nake 0]

I don't think it's accurate at all... but you can destroy a UAZ in one shot

one thing I didn't like.. was the sound... the barrett has a plining sound with each shot... this does not

other then that.. any other faults come in the skin... it's just my opinion.. I can't do any better.. but the skin doesn't "go with" an actual Barrett.

But I enjoy it... thnx

[scout 0]

the barret is accurate enough to be admired much by the people who use it in real life.

i was even covering snipers while they dropped hezbullahs from a range of 800 meters at night. one shot - one kill!

Um, are we comparing the accuracy of an M2 machine gun and an M82A1? Thats like comparing the accuracy of an M60 and an M21. Two completely different classes of weapon. Just because two weapons fire the same round (or same calibre anyway, the M82A1 uses accurized match ammo, or so I would assume) doesn't mean they will have comparable accuracy, particularly when one is a fully auto MG and the other a sniper (or anti-material) rifle.

I believe the claim for the barrett M82A1 is 1 MOA, pretty damn accurate.

I'm assuming you meant the M2 machine gun when you said Browning?

[scout 0]

i might add that i bet u would'nt want to on the recieving end of a barret in any range, now would you?

and for that matter the M-2 would do the same job, using more bullets though.

any one in a 800m-1000m circle from either of them is better find himself a VERY GOOD shelter or else........

guys! please! check things out before u spurt them ok?

I already dl a M82A1 in aug./sept. 2001. It had a loud Boom sound and the bullets were explosive. It took me (i think) 25 rounds to kill a BMP, the weapon model was the M14.

It would be cool it you could make it without explosive core but with a Full Metal Jacket and the greem-tip or titanium-head.

Even better would be if the bullet could pierce an APC and take out passengers/driver/gunner.

In 1980 the German army (Bundeswehr) had three M113 (I don't know the exact model). This APC should be armored, water proof (amphibious) and easy to maintain. It proofed to be neither.

Half of the passengers were drunken after a little trip in a bavarian river.

The aluminium hull could be easily pierced by a MG firing hard-top (titanium) 7.62 bullets.

And after the BW got the Fuchs series(ABC) they were finally taken out of the armory.

[scout 0]

the bullets should not be explosive. the caliber is too small.

u have for the barret AP/IG/Tr bullets that, when hit the ammo or the fuel tank should sent and APC/IFV sky high........

[USSoldier11B 0]

I did not like the Toadlife Barret. It wasn't powerful enough, and was just a modified Druganov. Also .50 BMG has a pretty flat trajectory, the bullets out of that gun dropped way too much making a 300 meter shot. I will have to give this new one a try.
