Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield Arsenal for Doom

The name comes from "Special Weapons and Tactics," or SWAT.

Special Weapons is a WIP weapons pack and difficulty mod currently boasting an arsenal of 53 real-world guns used by special operations teams around the world. These weapons are taken directly from Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield; their performance is inspired by the statistics given by the game and by research on the individual weapons.

Current Features:
• 53 Pistols, SMGs, Shotguns, Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Light Machineguns
• Zombies use the same weapons you do
• Weapon firing mode selection
• Smoothly graded firing inaccuracy for sustained firing and movement

Planned Features:
• Frag grenades, flashbangs, smoke grenades, and CS gas

Spoiler: The Special Weapons Arsenal
I strongly recommend using a HUD like Good Ol' Hud
This mod is no longer compatible with qtilt, movetilt, or RealAim, as two of these are now directly integrated into the mod. Adding extra camera scripts will either simply not work, or it will break everything. You have been warned.

Feel free to discuss the accuracy of my weapon presentation on this thread if you think you can improve the realism of the mod; I only ask that you respect me as the author and final decision maker in all aspects of development. :) All feedback welcome.

I haven't played Rogue Spear since I was too little to appreciate it, so I wouldn't know. The images and sounds are all yanked directly from Raven Shield, which is my favorite Rainbow Six game. Siege is a little too game-y - good at what it does, mind you, but it's just not fit for the Tom Clancy name.

Just added missing decaldefs, nerfed shotguns slightly, gave the USAS-12 more spread and tightened the spread on the SPAS-12, and gave all sniper rifles a little damage boost.

The only Rainbow Six i've ever played was the first one on PSX and i still love that game. I really appreciate the way you treated things here; Every weapon has it's spread, distinct sounds and functions, why bother with over-produced animations?

I have some sprites for the first RS reloading bar ripped. I think it would be cool to see, but that would mean messing with all decorates, so, that's a no go.

Still, 10/10 loved it.

Hmm, Hideous Destructor meets RGA2 (Real Guns Advanced)?, you should add some weapons from their expansions such as the Jackhammer and Beretta 93R and since getting a hard time switching weapons, i think a weapon limit system might be a good one since RGA2 and DoomRLA had a weapon limit sytem

Definitely liking the feel of the weapons, though it would be nice given how powerful they are to have a semiauto option (I keep hitting that one shotgun guy in the Map02 alcove with 3 shotgun blasts at point blank, lol)

I like this quite a bit but a limit of only one weapon per type would be nice, I'm not a fan of scrolling through a pile of weapons.

@GAA1992 - Glad you like it! And don't discount those reloading sprites just yet, I might use something like that in the future.

@skyrish10 - These weapons were taken explicitly from one source as a sort of homage, so at least for now I do not plan on expanding the arsenal. A weapon limit system is definitely a must; I've not made one before, so I'll have to toy around with it and maybe look at some other people's code.

@Vaecrius - My original plan was to add firing modes, as well as suppressors and attachable scopes as rare drops. The suppressors would be INVBAR items that, once used, grant you the ability to attach and detach a suppressor from whichever weapon you had equipped at the time - excluding shotguns and weapons with integrated suppressors. Hopefully that will give players a great deal of control over their play style and allow them to adapt to more situations.

@Sgt. Shivers - Agreed on the weapon limit; you do end up wading through a sea of guns by the end of it all. Also, I would totally not object if you just wanted to make me about... 53 fully animated HUD weapons, preferably centered. Just kidding. Mostly. :P

So I think the next big thing I should focus on is a weapon limiting system. Maybe one per type wouldn't be so bad; carrying a pistol, SMG, assault rifle, sniper rifle, and light machinegun is still a pretty hilarious arsenal when you think of it in realistic terms, but it would be better than playing a walking gunship shop. Thank you all for your feedback! Glad you're enjoying the guns, even if you have too many. :)

I have a suggestion of adding a rocket launcher weapon in arsenal. Otherwise it would be impossible to finish doom 2 map 30 ie icon of sin map without rocket launcher weapon.if you can without it please show in YouTube video if possible

Nope, there is no rocket launcher type weapon in RS3, so no

Well, there are plans for grenades, though that probably wouldn't work as well in maps that have the IoS put far away.
Don't play wads with IoS i guess?

We should probably leave SidDoyle to decide on that, m8. :P

A one-time use RPG for these situations wouldn't hurt, though.

its not a matter of choice, its more "you cannot complete map sets without an explosive weapon if the final boss is akin to the icon of sin"

even if you dont want an explosive, you HAVE to have an explosive. its a crappy design even recognized by the gamedevs, but it is what it is.
