Firstly, I've finally gotten some momentum behind the alternate version of this mod- the minigun-stance heavy weapon version.
Unfortunately, the differences between the two were too much to port over in any simple way.
What the plan is now is to do a re-release of the HMG in a heavy-weapon format only, and deprecate out the rifle-held version (this version).
So, for consoles, I'd be waiting for the new version to port to Bethnet, and this version will probably never get uploaded there. That's the bad news.
The good news is that the mod will get a top to bottom overhaul, better textures, better meshes, and animation support. So, console users will ultimately get the best version.
I don't have a timetable yet, but once I do, I'll be posting it here.
Thanks for all the ideas and support, across all my projects!
I know you said that you will probably never port this mod to Xbox but is it okay if someone else can port it or not since I don’t know when your new version you said that you’re making will come out for the Xbox and I’m an Xbox only player. So is it okay if someone else ports this mod to Xbox?
Still really happy with this mod though I must confess I cant keep it ammo supplied w/o cheats or exploits. Its perfectly sized for Power Armor, There are some heavy weapons out there that look too large even for power armor and or course many look too small. This is perfect.
I'd also love to put in my vote for a "something" that makes the mod require power armor for use. The mod looks amazing, but it is immersion breaking to see your average guy walking around with these types of huge weapons. I'm wondering if perhaps some sort of key word could be added to the weapon such as "RequiresPowerArmor" or something similar.
I'd say a little self discipline is in order then. I think its easier on everyone to just not use it outside of power armor if they do not want to do so, rather than tie in another mod as a requirement for a simple weapon mod.
only thing that would make this mod better, if there was a strength requirement that forces you to use the gun with power armor. other than that amazing mod
Horizon weapon system does that, but yeah you have to make a patch for this to work with it. And yeah migrating to horizon does take time and effort. If you're already a horizon user and have some experience making your own patch this gun is a piece of cake since it is a very simple weapon. I might throw in a Horizon patch for this once I have time in the near future.
Used this machine gun to replace the Gatling Laser and renamed it Brotherhood Heavy Machine Gun because in my playthrough only The Institute has the laser technology. They use the AER15 Modern Laser Assault Rifle.
I love M2 from WW2 seen it up close and firing, in Iraq, but did anyone even think about this concept of firing a 50cal heavy rifle machine gun buy hand, in power armor no problem. but even old Arne' himself, or Silvester Stallone, would not be able to stand and fire a M2, on automatic, maybe if single action, but that gun was not designed for that and would have to be modified, that's why they were fired on tripods or vehicle mounted weapon stands. Visually it looks good and would love using it mounted in a weapon stand.
I love the concept of this gun as a Power Armor Assault Rifle since all the other small arms look puny in the manipulators of a Power Armor. Wish It could be revived with a reload animation and no more infinite ammo then it would be perfect because even with that one flaw this gun feels and looks great on Power Armor!
But thank you for making this WastelandMelody, you still get my endorsement!
If you want a great LMG mod like this one that's still getting updates check out Machineguns Rebirth by Skibadaa, it has a 50 cal HMG similar to the one in this mod plus 3 more weapons and a wide variety of attachment options.
