Running in the Frontier War (WIP) (UPDATE; Faction Balance 1!)
Anyhow, this is a super early in development mod set in the Alien franchise universe!
Update #4: Faction Balance Update 1!
-Removed the gun harness, it is now included in the price of the Smartgun.
-Smartgun now becomes more accurate over sustained firing
-Can no longer respawn with smartgun
-Smartgunner AI spawn rate reduced
-Re-branded the Royal Marines to the IASF: Imperial Armed Space Forces, a collection of Three World Empire militaries! The Royal Marines will take the place of IASF Elite Troops and Paras!
-Removed the NSG-23 from standard IASF troops, instead they will be used by the Royal Marine elites!
-LEM StG-24 added as the standard IASF rifle; an accurate 5 round burst rifle chambered in 8.8mm
-Added L36 Halbered, an older automatic IASF rifle in the process of being phased out for the StG-24. Will be used in small numbers by standard IASF troops, but Royal Marines will also use the weapon as they prefer its fire rate over the StG-24.
The StG-24 and L36 both have models made for them, along with sounds. Need HUD Images.
-Massively increased the kick on the M41A and made it the bulkiest primary rifle of the factions, to balance the IASF’s rifle losing its underbarrel.
-Slightly increased kick on the VN-51, making it not a laser beam.
Update 0.0.03-1: SMARTGUN BALANCE UPDATE 1!
-Smartgun can no longer be fired prone
-Smartgun now significantly reduces movement speed
-Movement speed debuff can be offset with a Gun Harness (a vest), which provides some protection and is also expensive.
-Colonial Marine models re-textured to appear in the arid camouflage scheme from the Aliens movie!
-Custom model made for Colonial Marines with a type-2 vest (Combat Suit) based on the MX4 Armor!
-New Smartgunner AI soldier types for Royal Marines and Colonial Marines! Models inlcuded! These soldiers are experts at laying down high volumes of accurate fire; head on engagements are ill-advised!
Update 0.0.02:
-Added a few more custom dialogue for Colonial Marines
-A small AI behavior change to make better use of high capacity weapons.
0.0.01:
-Changes the Greenbelts to the Colonial Marines!
-Changes Graycollars to Royal Marines
-Changes Brownpants to the Union of People’s Republics Army!
Colonial Marines:
-Replaces M16A4 with M41A, a hard hitting assault rifle with a fast rate of fire. Has a good kick, and an underbarrel 30mm pump action grenade launcher!
The M41A has a custom model and sounds added. Needs a HUD image.
-Replaces M240 with the M56 Smartgun. Currently completely overpowered, it has a incredibly high rate of fire with impeccable accuracy. Will balance out in the future-
The M56 has a custom model and sounds, needs a HUD image and work on it’s animations.
-Add M240 Incinerator (flamethrower) to their kit!
The flamethrower needs a custom model and HUD image.
-Replaced the M72 LAW with the M83 SADAR, a top attack (like the javeline) high damage disposable rocket launcher capable of being fired from behind cover!
-Swaps the 3 most common soldier varieties to look like Colonial Marines! More models soon!
-Custom dialogue for the Colonial Marines faction!
Royal Marines
-Replaced the G36 with an NSG-23, a lethal burst fire rifle. The NSG-23 balances it’s slower rate of fire and lesser mag capacity with very accurate and hard hitting shots! Comes with an underbarrel ID-23 flamethrower for close encounters. (Now changed, G36 is replaced with LEM StG-24 and L36 Halberd. NSG-23 is used by IASF Paras and Elites)
The NSG-23 needs a new model and HUD image.
-Replaced IMI Negev with the M56 Smartgun, as used by Colonial Marines!
UPP Army:
-Replaced the AK-47 with the VN-51! The AK of the latter 22nd Century, the VN-51 is a high capacity low recoil pulse rifle utilized by the conscript riflemen of the UPP. It comes with a deployable bipod that when mounted assists in laying down accurate bursts of fire from long range, and then can be folded so as to allow fire and maneuver up close!
Things to be added!
A whole assortment of weaponry for all 3 factions!
Custom models for every soldier type!
Dialogue for every faction!
Possibly vehicles?
Maybe custom radio calls.
