M16 for rural, M4 for urban

Post by **GeZe** » 2007-01-07 23:18

As we have urban/rural difference for things like the engineer, why not have that for the rifleman (and other classes). On rural maps they keep their M16, while on urban maps the get the M4 (with semi-burst, no auto)

For instance, on Jabal, you get the M16, but on Sunset City, you would get the M4 as US.

Note: the M4 is semi and burst, not full auto.

(yes, you can have a grenade launcher for the M4)

Yes, we are aware that the M4 is single/burst only and can be fitted with the grenade launcher. M4s and M16s may vary by map in the future, but it will have little to do with open vs urban terrain.

ah, okay

and why does the GB spec ops get a M4, I was thought they used the C8. (the scope is different)

The scope is different in Canadian service, yes, but photos of UK special operations forces (not confirmed as SAS, SBS, Cdo Brigade Patrols or Pathfinders) show them using the L119A1 (British designation for C8A1) with Aimpoint sights, ACOG 4x telescopic sights and others instead of the ELCAN telescopic sight used by the Canadian Forces.

The ELCAN sight is pretty good, so it wouldn't surprise me if they do use it, I just haven't seen photos of it on UK L119s; we used the few we could find for references. The US uses a version of the ELCAN, the M145, as its Machine-gun Optic (MGO).

Map dependent; yes.

Why did you ask that?! Now he's going to ignore you because he realizes he leaked the info!

We have been authorized to use a third-party ACU skin and we're modeling the M4 weapons alongside the new M16 models. No ETA yet.
