this mod is great but the no one plays it. i wish good mods like this got more attention so that they can be tweaked and changed into something that someone would actually pay money for
@Jacobalan26 People still play it. Really low player pool though I usually see the same people in games. We are all trying to spread the game thru word of mouth.
"Quasi-realistic"? Yeah... No. The only "quasi-realistic" mod there is for the Source engine is Insurgency. In FA:S it still takes 4 rounds of 7.62x51 to kill someone. NOT FUN.
I am both a CoD and a Battlefield player and i can say this game is fucking sweet! Its basically a crossover of those two on the Source engine... WHAT CAN BE BETTER!!!
If they add this on Steam, and keep updating and improving it, damn, i would even pay for it!
@arthurude1 first off, you want 100% realism, then go to Iraq and have a nice burial, second, the game has an attachment system and you can choose to use scopes (agog) which lets you 'Aim Down Sights', third, every video on YouTube about FAS is OLD !!!
after they update the game again, i will personally make a lot of gameplay videos.
@arthurude1 Aiming Down Sights was a system created specifically for consoles. The reason was to allow a greater degree of precision with a controller -- precision you normally get by using a mouse. It's never been about realism, but about helping consoles along.
That said, machine guns in FAS have bipods, so yes, you're either hip-firing or you can set up shop and lay down covering fire (at the cost of mobility). Same with the sniper rifles. Also, as pointed out, all the YouTube videos are old
I don't want this to come out but i do at the same time. The reason why I don't want it to come out is cuz everyone will stop playing CSS and start playing this. But I wanna play this game because it looks soooooo realistic and awesome (except for the recoil!).
wow, this sucks, the reloading animations are as if like the clip just doesnt need any force to be inserted into the gun, i mean, talk about no realism
@1985woooman You think that because he didn't put force into the clip it dosent look real? Well I hate to break it to you, but video games are not real.
It's the truth, oh and putting a clip in a gun requires no force, they only slam clips into guns in movies for cinematic effect.
If any of you ever played the first Firearms mod, it was to be more arcade like, to be more fun instead of being like real life and recoil etc... There was also less hacks for this mod as well.. So if its anything like the first one which it seems to be, looks great and plays great..
It is sad to see a bunch of people who never really knew what FireArms is before criticizing it. CS ain't the only good HL1 mod. This is among the top few mods during HL time where people play frequently. CS, DOD, FA and that Civil War mod are among some of the best mod during half-life time, now FA has finally come to Source engine. At least it is well taken care of in development, unlike DOD Source which was literally murdered.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So no weapons have any recoil then?
I really thought this game looked quite good in the trailer, but this has really put me off.
And as someone else stated it DOES look like there is auto-aim, but i think thats just because its so easy to spray and pray, even with a sniper rifle firing from the hip.
So no, I'm afraid it looks terrible. No depth or thought gone into the weapons at all, and that was supposed to be the whole point, wasnt it?
@w0bbl3r The guns may not look like they have much recoil, and that my be it, but ive watched many videos that they have put up or testers have put up. From what i see, they know how the Mechanics of a gun works, thats more essential than a little recoil issue. that was a downer but the rest looks very nice...
@Sarlerace Oh, and the M14 is NOT a sniper rifle, it is a semi automatic and automatic rifle. its just commonly known as a sniper rifle, which is untrue.
@Sarlerace You say the rest looks nice, then pull apart using the m14 as a sniper rifle? Plus, whats "nice" about running and gunning with a sniper rifle? just firing round after round, while circle-strafing, is the kind of gameplay I expect from Quake, or even MW2, not from a mod that is supposed to model realistic guns.
I am just offering my honest opinion; the mod looks rubbish.
@w0bbl3r I did try the mod, and i will say the whole running in circles so people cant shoot you is very unrealistic and very unreal engine type of gameplay. i have to say im disappointed with the game. the only thing i like about it is how they payed attention to the gun mechanics. and again, i never said the m14 is a sniper rifle. its mistaken as one. but the game was a downer.
@xenomorphelv426 Well, the things you require are exactly what insurgency has. But this is nothing like insurgency. It is more fast paced without the 'if I spot you first you are dead' factor. You are looking for a realistic game, but this one doesnt try to be realistic ;) Dont get me wrong, I really like insurgency. Just try out fa:source instead of judging it by a video ;)
What's up with the "aim assistant", similar to sv_autoaim 1 in old HL? The crosshair seems to follow the target just like in a console fps shooter. Even the sniper shots are "corrected" to the target in the last second, at 0:57-0:58.
I hope it's not an inbuilt feature cause it's going to suck.
Actually, they introduced this amazing concept called 'aiming', in which the user moves his mouse to follow the target and shoots him repeatedly until he dies.
It's called skill, and for pc the controls are excellent and tracking a target with your mouse is easy to do.. Autoaim is used in consoles since thoes controls don't fit fps as good, and because if no autoaim noobs would cry and not buy mw2 overpriced map packs...
First you got the redundant "recoil" that just returns to the center for you (where's the skill in barrett sniping? Let me guess, the beta "testers" whined about the recoil didn't they)
Then you got people spamming deagles? This is NOTHING like the original Firearms. All the skill FA1 vet's have learned throughout FA's HISTORY is being condensed into one big of shit that nubs can devour in just a DAY. I can't believe these guys are stream-lining this.
Wow the players are bullet sponges... also the recoil seems way off for the 7.62x51 based firearms. Although I guess this mod doesn't focus as much on realism than just run and gun. The weapon models are nice though.
Modern Warfare with more guns? Are iron sights enabled for the guns without optics?
This reminds me, I was at a hunting store yesterday and I went to the small gun museum room in the back and I got to hold an actual M1 Garand! I know that's World War 2 and Korean War territory but I think the AK-47 is partially based off of that rifle. The sights for it were smaller than I expected but I could see why the Americans used it from the mid-30s to the late-50s.
I never will own a real firearm, but I sure will play this mod!
@crxdelsoltarga You can get HL2 deathmatch for free if you have an ATI or Nvidia card, just search "ATI steam offer" or "Nvidia steam offer" for either one
@holdenmcclure They won't. As you might noticed, I'm a FP animator. I know how much time it would to reanimate almost all weapons. The mod will be released in some days, so it's impossible to get new animations. I'm sure anyone will make custom animations for this mod anyways.
I understand the amount of time it takes to animate weapons.
I headed a project called L.U.R.K. for Shadow of Chernobyl, and I had a man named King Friday reanimate 83 weapons for the project. It took months and months and it's beyond any reasonable doubt that they will not be fixed by the original authors.
It just shocks me that a mod that delves so much into weapons with so much notoriety would have such poor animations, you'd think that would be primary.
Looks great. Very professional. In fact, I would love to see this as a commercial game. Hell, the original FA had a bunch of ideas that commercial games eventually "borrowed"!

@MandosMady then does the game have ironsights?
whats the point of, lets say, a machine gun if the gunner only shoots from the hip?
how can you say this is a crossover of both when you cant even aim down sights?
a "quasi-realistic" game (as fireams website clearly states) has to have the option to Aim Down Sights so you can cover and shoot.
the idea of a "realistic" game with tons of weapons sounded awesome to me until i watched this video...
