-Mod request- Metal Gear REX.

[DELTAsnake]

Dose anyone have a Metal Gear REX unit mod that would be capable of launching it's rail gun nuke and attack normaly with it's short range conventional missiles?

pictures?

I agree- if I had any idea what the hell the thing looked like, i might say it was a good idea... but unless we have pictures...

Here's a render from someone's 3D model of it, done in Lightwave:


And the same model with a quick texture applied to it:


Here's the thread with that model btw: http://www.lwg3d.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15150&page=1&pp=25

If someone asks nicely, maybe they could make a Civ3 unit out of it, or atleast provide the model for someone.

I agree- this thing would be kick- ass

and the first realistic looking in any sense mec on the forums....

Yeah its from MGS 2

i would also like to see a Arsenal Gear and Solid Snake too

It's from MGS One.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

wait no nm Metal Gear RAY is from 2

My bad

how bout someone make a RAY also maybe as an upgrade for REX

then ARSENAL could be like a Carrier for the Metal Gears

 

[DELTAsnake]

OK, So I take it nobody has made it yet.

Just so anyone making it knows.

The Nuke fire's from the cannon on it's right shoulder and it's conventional missiles are on it's back. (the bit that looks like platform behind REX's head.)

It Also has Stingers on it's legs, but I think thats going a bit overboard.

BTW: I think that textured REX looks better than the one in MGS.

EDIT: I guess that it would be a better idea to have the REX armed with conventional weapons and then load a tactical nuke like the Nuke Sub.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

yes and do you remember what the payload they had on MGS

wasnt it like 8?

It should probably only be able to carry one if it was added to the game though.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

is there a way to build a weaker nuke

or maybe make it carry only cruise missiles?

 

[Mr. Dictator]

fount a pic of MG RAY in case anyone wants to dream of attempting it

 

[Mr. Dictator]

ill try to find a bigger pic, unless anyone can PS it

There's no way to specify it to carry only Cruise missiles, if it can carry cruise missiles, it can carry other units too.

And the AI can't handle land transports.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

yeah thats something that needs to change sometime in the editor, can a patch fix that?

like unit spec. transports because then APC could work

or cant you just make it an army with bombard?

 

[DELTAsnake]

I'm thinking it should be like this.

REX attacks should be. attack1: 8 Hellfire missiles on his back, attack2 and 3: Fires gattling guns and lasers located under his belly.

And then a second REX (that cost alot more to build and looks a bit differant (ie: color)) has the ability to launch nukes.

That way there can be both conventional and nuclerar equiped versions, and maybe later an anphibious version.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

is anyone going to take this one up?

 

[Xen]

doubt it, try directlly PMing a unit creator about it, but IIRC, ALL of the current unit creators have full plates at the moment
