BlackOps BlackWidow

BLACKOPS MODS

"BlackOps" Retexturing is a theme i decided to embrace for most of my ME3 mods. The spirit is : sobriety, class, tactical features, stealth/dark, "realism" in a way and no "power rangers" multi-color anymore. If your eyes love it, you might found other mods i did on the same theme by writing BlackOps in the research bar.

DESCRIPTION

Now it's the turn of a sniper. I was really torn by this decision but ... the sniper i love the most to play is and will always be the black widow. But honestly guys, its design sucks donkey balls ! Seriously it was a damn challenge to try to make a greater good with these ugly shapes. I know what they wanted to do, something like the barret . 50 obviously, but we are nowhere near the subtility of that awesome contemporary rifle's shapes and style.

To me, the best looking snipes (only regarding shapes) are : Raptor 1st place, and then Incisor, Krysae & viper. The rest look like shit. But these snips are far less fun : /

Anyway, still i play 80% of the time with Blackwidow, so i knew i had to do something ... you know. I spent like 5 days, raging on my free time to pull out some nice textures that make it better. I know it's still not perfect, and i already have some few improve ideas in mind but here it is ! and i hope you will appreciate it ! (because i broke my ass & my nights on that)

Sorry about the bad screenshots, they don't make justice of my work. Please try it to realize how it is (& make some backups) : D
