    Maverick AR-15.50 model and damage

    To be blunt, I don't like the choice of model used for the AR-15.50. The AR-15 is a modular and highly customizable assault rifle so it's a bit disappointing when the model chosen is such a generic base model that would feel more at home used on the M4



    When talking about the .50 Beowulf it's regarding a semi-auto DMR-esque rifle built onto the modular AR-15 platform

    I have two issues with it; for starters is the fact that in-game it's got a widened 50 round mag used for 5.56 to fit 10 rounds of .50 Beowulf. Which is a bit off because 10 rounds of Beowulf stack perfectly in a standard issue 30 round mag for 5.56. Alexander Arms specifically designed the round to be used from the standard mags so that consumers need only purchase the appropriate upper for their AR-15. Hence why they offer either the upper alone or a pre-built model.



    The second part is that it doesn't really look like a DMR that it plays like, nor is it even classed as a DMR. Honestly, when I first saw the leaked image of Mavericks loadout I thought that there was just an error with what weapon was being displayed next to the name.

    The reason for my confusion is simple.

    This is a M4

    This is a .50 Beowulf

    So my confusion was only amplified when I saw that this was actually the M4 and not the .50 Beowulf like I had thought


    There are two possible ways I would like to see it changed. As much as I would love either option to become a reality it's pretty much just a pipe dream.

    The first would be by far the fastest and easiest solution; simply swap the models for the M4 and AR-15.50. They already have the models so it's a simple matter of changing the muzzle attachments from one to other and adjusting their reference points to match.

    The second option would require a bit more work, and that would be to change the model of the AR-15.50 completely to be more DMR-esque. Something like this which is also a model made by Alexander Arms:


    I mean, it doesn't even need to be exactly like that. Taking parts off the SR-25, the current AR-15.50 and the mag from the current M4 can give a similar result without the need to make an entire model from scratch

    it's a ****ing modular platform, you can use whatever accessories you want on it. they don't need to look the same. Also, the double wide mag is probably what's giving it a 10 shot mag.

    i isnt. a .50 Beowulf Mag the size of a regular STANAG 30rnd 5.56 Mag is a 10round mag. the one in the game is more like a 20rnd mag.

    As Revenge stats, the Beowulf uses the standard 30 round for 5.56... or did you not see the photo of the side by side mag that was in the OP? Wasn't obvious enough.

    Also, I'm well aware that it's modular, it's an AR-15, doesn't mean I can't want to have it actually look good and more representative of its DMR performance

    Never tried to say it wasn't a nit pick. And just cause I want it to look some way doesn't mean I can't ask for it to look some way. Incidentally I'm not the only one unimpressed with the model choice. There's a good number of people on reddit that aren't happy with the way it looks and I'm confident in saying there's probably more then a few that don't go onto the forums/reddit as well that don't like it.

    Just because it's "nit picking" doesn't mean you should simply bend over and accept it. And that's exactly what I'm doing.

    I don't like the model choice so I'm suggesting alternatives and there's nothing wrong with that. It's better then silently sitting there and accepting what I don't like.

    you mean other then the fact it looks Visually different from the M4 he has with how it looks now and it would be impossible to figure out if it looked EXACTLY the way you want. Yah, no, this is still "i don't like it change it" even though it actually as a reason to look the way it does.

    Again, never tried to say otherwise, I literally admitted it before. I guess I'll say it again because apparently you either failed to read it or chose to ignore it... just because I don't like, doesn't mean I have to accept it

    Well, ignoring the fact that the only one that would be visually similar to the M4 would be the 4th image in the OP, and every other one has a narrower and longer frame... and not to mention the 5th is the longest and still has the very noticeable **** off muzzle break... You know what would solve this issue of them being visually similar? Simply swapping the models for the M4 and the AR-15... Which incidentally would be the quickest and easiest solution.

    For all your "nit picking" and "I don't like it, change it" comments, you're rather hypocritical aren't you? You're being very nit picky about this matter which you didn't even need to get involved in and then because YOU DON'T LIKE IT, I HAVE TO STOP ASKING... rather ironic isn't it.

    So I must say, unless you are actually going to be constructive instead of telling me not to share my opinion, I'm going to have to ask you to politely go **** yourself.


    Sorry, that's going a bit far. You're entitled to disagree with my opinion and that's fine, just as I'm entitled to disagree with Ubisofts design choice. I don't deny that it's nit picking nor that this isn't a case of "I don't like it, change it" because that's exactly what this is. Hell, every opinion about every operators gadget can boil down to this; be it Tachanka's LMG or Blackbeard's Rifle Shield. That's literally how development, balance and visual changes happen in literally in and every game.

    Admittedly my OP definitely came across more demanding then suggesting so it will probably have been updated/reworded by the next time you respond.

    >The AR-15 is a modular and highly customizable assault rifle

    The AR-15 is just a Semi-Automatic Rifle, not an assault rifle.

    fair... though I'm sure it wouldn't be hard/impossible to modify it to be fully automatic. But my point still stands regardless of it's firing mode
