Halo SRS99C- S2 Sniper Rifle: Far Isle

Glad to be able to post the finished product of my SRS99C model-based off the sniper rifle appearance in the original Halo 2. This was a big project that took a few months of design discussion and modeling work to complete but was incredibly fun and rewarding to do.

The goal of this model was to update the original Halo 2 sniper design from 2004 to a standard that might be seen if it had been redone for Halo 2: Anniversary or Halo Infinite. I took a lot of reference and inspiration from Halo Infinite for materials and decals especially, and tried to visually update and match older Halo designs such as the Reach sniper and Halo CE sniper as well as I could to the style of this project. It was also a fun challenge to bring more realism to the sniper design so it could comfortably fit in a game such as ARMA, where the full range of weapon controls and ergonomics are much more appreciated. This even extended to the inner bolt mechanism, which is based on the bolts of a Barret M82 and Denel NTW-20.

Big thanks to Callum Dainty for doing the modernized concept of the rifle for me to base this model on:
