Which MP5 model do you prefer?

[fury]

I like the new one much more, since it looks more similar to the original HL mp5.
But I hope you will have a HL1 styled bob on weapons in BMS final version… Further I hope for an adjustable fov… Like it was in HL1.

[RestlessMind]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t the helmets of real-life special forces operatives incorporate aural protection into the design anyway?

I don’t know, but in reality soldiers don’t really wear much hearing protection, they just keep their radios in their ears which does some. Or they do, small ones, if they prefer, but it’s not required or anything.

Half-Life’s first-person MP5 is an MP5SD with a grenade launcher attached.

Ah, cool, that’s best.

It is muzzle hider?

It looks like a flash hider or muzzle brake/compensator, which would make the gun have less recoil.

Hey guys, how come it was decided to take off the EOTech? I mean, it’s not so bad, when you’ve got an M203 attached to it.

RAMINATOR! :retard:

Did you know that the world model of the MP5 in Half-Life is actually different to the view model? The world model is a regular MP5, not a MP5SD.

Also, Valve ####ed up the MP5 weapon icon that appears when you’re scrolling through weapons. The icon shows a regular MP5 with an extended stock (not featured on the view model nor the world model) and grenade launcher attachment, but there’s no actual magazine loaded into the gun. It’s missing.

He don’t need to heard all this again, he worked on it for many years.

To be honest, neither of them tickle me at all. The new one looks too call of duty, while the old one looks too high tech. If they took the EOC sight off the old one, than I would say the old one. But the new one is cooler to the extent of the original.

I honestly liked the M4. Espically considering soldiers use m4s in spades oppose to mp5s.

EDIT: [COLOR=‘Yellow’]Looking at the new one now, it is exceptional. The problem actually lies in the angle the character holds the gun. It looks too long in first person and you cannot appreciate the grenade launcher and muzzle hider due to its strange angle. It’s almost as if it were in constant iron sight aim.

[RestlessMind]

Well, it’s definitely NOT in constant “iron-sight aim” I’ll tell you that.

I like the M4 too.

I was talking about the original Half-Life, not Black Mesa.

Really? I always thought that the old MP5 model looked too pimped-out.

Yes, I believe that the new MP5 model is more in line with the original.

It doesn’t have fancy doodads like EOTech holographic sights.

Did you know that there the HECU were to originally use Colt assault rifles?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that Gordon holds the MP5 weirdly.

But I’m sure that these sorts of things are subject to change.

[RestlessMind]

I think it makes more sense for them to have MP5s.

[OrderOfDagon]

Yeah, if they would move the Mp5 more to the right and a little higher, than it would be good. It’s too low and not angled well – it’s a shame too, because it looks very awesome in the wiki as a model…

[jambo]

About 7

[Blackbird]

None of them, because M4 is way better.

@Raminator

Half-Life’s first-person MP5 is an MP5SD with a grenade launcher attached.

If only it made silenced thumps like in the old videos.

[OskuTheLordOfNothing]

I just would like it to be close as the original, so no eotech sight.

[RestlessMind]

Haha, that would be a sight. I have seen an M203 with a flash hider built on. Looked neat.

[Brombaq]

@Waxy

I prefer the one with the suppressor.
Because suppressors are kewl.

No its not a silencer its a suppress…wait?

sorry i thought you said it wrong

[RestlessMind]

“Silencer” and “suppressor” are interchangeable, but I prefer to use “silencer” because “suppressor” can refer to recoil/flash/sound suppressors, which are all different devices with different functions.

[Skaevola]

@Raminator

They should have silenced the grenade launcher, too. :retard:

But it makes such a lovely “ffoonk” sound!

[JAV1L15]

Personally I prefer the M4 model. If I HAD to choose out of the MP5s it’s the new one

[waqwarrior]

@Raminator

For some reason Valve thinks grenade launchers are loud and have insane recoil. If you’ve ever seen one fired, you’d know it’s…pretty pathetic compared to how it’s seen in Half-Life. In this case though, fuck realism, it looks much more badass. B)

e/ Second MP5 model. First has that PDW stock and eotech, along with that grenade launcher that looks like it came straight off an AK. Ew.

[Eric_Fong]

That GL is from Russian.

Hey there, Black Mesa forum members. There have been two renditions of the MP5 submachine gun, the first is a MP5A5 with a GP-30 grenade launcher, EOTech Holographic sight and MP5K PDW-style side-folding stock and the second is a MP5A3 with a M203 grenade launcher and flash suppressor. Which do you prefer? Or, alternatively, do you dislike both MP5 models and instead favour the M4 Carbine? Discuss.

Personally, I prefer the latest version of the MP5 because I find it more aesthetically pleasing. The side-folding stock on the MP5A5 looked weird and unnatural, while the EOTech Holographic sight was really just there for eye candy and had no useful function. The only thing I liked about it was the GP-30 grenade launcher, because it seemed to “fit” better than the bulkier M203.

Meh I’m a M4 whore, I tend to play games now (based on IF I was there Mentality) Mp5 is great for the small confines of Half-life but If I was just stuck in the hallways sure I’d go for mp5 but since it also goes outdoors Id go for M4 so, use the Right gun for the right job. M4 works for the Overall Scenario.

Correct me if I’m wrong but M4 does better for less spread over longer range then MP5. I know for fact MP5 is used (more often then not) for very tight conditions like boats and so on, But like I said M4 Works for the hallways and buildings as well as the open areas as well. So based on the if I was there approach I’d choose M4 loadout.

For those who think into this as far as tactical goes, M4 Or FNP90 for me.
