Heroes of the West mod Needs an M2HB Browning 50. Cal machine gun
Heroes of the West is a mod for Red Orchestra 2. Bringing the game to the western front pitting the United states Army against the Third Reich. The British commonwealth are well on their way to being added as well. http://www.moddb.com/mods/heroes-of-the-west
But we are missing one crucial weapon and our permanent modellers are busy making many many things all in their own time. We need the M2HB (HB for Heavy Barrel) Browning Machine gun. A big 50. Calibre beast of a gun that has almost been in use for 100 years still the main heavy calibre machine gun of most Nato forces.
The game already has a very low poly M2 browning for use as a prop. Unusable as a weapon. But it is useful to base things off.
Now we need the WW2 version. They were all Heavy barrel versions with AA rear sights, hooded front sights and a longer heavy barrel with various cooling rings. Those are the main differences from modern M2 browning MG's which have a shorter quick change barrel, often no rear sights at all and the hood removed off the front sight.
We want it to be mounted on top of our new Jeep, M3A1 halftrack, LCVP landing craft and in general as a mounted Machine gun emplacement on some maps.
A Similar Machine gun in game the M1917 mounted has a polycount of 13,000+. That includes the complex tripod it sits on the gun on its own is about 6000. Since the M2 Browning is a lot bigger we will accept the gun on its own at under 10,000 poly's. If you want to make a mount for it as well we will up that to 20,000. Making a mount is optional but one is a simple vehicle mount and the other would be a tripod similar to the M1917 tripod. This is of course after you have made a high poly model and baked normals from that.
We will provide you with everything you need including reference pictures, that prop model I mentioned earlier and anything else you need.
The weapon will need to be in a state to be rigged. You don't need to rig it yourself. But the moving parts have to be able to move without any stretching or holes popping up. Things like the charging handle, Ammo box, lid, and barrel.
