Known issues:
*Texture on arm is lighted badly and stands out in an ugly way.
Acknowledgements:
I've made the model, most textures(high-to-low poly), sound(turbine engine played backwards with wahwah effect + free rifleshot provided by frankie) and animation. If I've forgot to say something that I've made, well, I've probably made that aswell. Everything that isn't made by me, you can see below in the acknowledgements.
Last thoughts:
Damn, the arm got ugly when lighted from certain angles...
The sound is balanced so that it shouldn't affect gameplay too much but still have a pretty nice feeling to it. I tried several different, but had trouble with sounds merging too much when lots of people play(loosing the sense of direction). I hope it is good now but it would be nice to hear comments on it.
