Thanks for the update Emery. I look forward to seeing further development. Best of luck towards you and your project members.

No need to apologise, Emery. You're the one who's giving the community the mod :) It can take as much time as it needs.

The units are nearing beta status.

Still need to do the wound textures but the base setup of models and textures is done.

Some units really look like they come straight out of the series so I'm pretty happy about that.

Here's a little pic of the Saw gunner(With a M40):

Pure awezumness if i may say :)

I didn't get real into Generation Kill (book or TV show) but...I do have a question. It was set during the beginning of OIF correct? (If I am wrong, please do correct me). Then why do the units I see have the latest SAW pouches (that special forces use mind you).

Just a nit-picky thing. ;).

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

Ya, it took place during 2003. They were Force Recon though, so that may explain the pouches I guess.

Yeah I know but in the series a marine seems to be wearing these saw pouches. Recreating the series has more priority than realism.

Here's the pic so you can see for yourself ;)

Will you make three versions of Cpl. Garza? In Kevlar helmet, Iraqi helmet and motorbike helmet?:p

mopp gear is a lot baggier and thicker than that. i suggest you do an actual model edit if you're serious about this. otherwise, it's just a run of the mill reskin.

nice !!! :D

If I may add, the picture in the last post on the previous page features an AH-1Z helicopter. The AH-1W was used in the series, and in reality around that time frame (March 2003). The ACE 2 mod has the AH-1W, if any of you are interested.

In that pic i was using the vanilla a2 ah-1 to simply just fly around the map.

Come on emery you should be able to react better then that. If you post up pictures of WIP your going to have to get used to taking constructive criticism less to heart. Lets face it MOPP gear is massively baggy compared to a normal set of cams. zachanscom made a legitimate point, your units do need to be a lot baggier to properly represent the characters from the show.

All though the comment about them being just reskins is harshly honest it is correct. Turn off the diffuse on that unit and lets face it, its the same old unit except with a hood on it, the silhouette it casts just doesn't match up to a proper mopp suit.

If you have the MLODs it should be relatively easy to push the points around and make them appear baggier. The normal map appears to be rather sharp as well, if you toned it down it would give the impression of the material being a lot thicker. The units look great but they can be taken a little bit further.

I'm not trying to start a flame war here because i know how fiercely people can defend there work but some of the best constructive criticism I have ever received has been the harshest, just need to step back some times and look at your work and think is he right? and yes that can be one of the hardest things to do when you have worked on something for so long and are quite proud of it.

Anyway I hope you take this post the right way and I hope it can be helpful.

I see what you did there.

[Pain0815 10]

I have a question

On the city map will there be ditches and hills? or is it just a flat area without diffrent heights?

I mean it looks ok so far but there is almost no landscape cover possible without ditches and stuff.
