They ripped the model straight out of Halo: CE with zero updates. Low polygons and flat textures, the whole nine yards.



Side note: And what's up with putting Halo 2 BRs on Torque? I wish they would stop putting all these classic weapons on default maps. Put them on a forged map or something instead.



EDIT: Apparently a lot of you don't understand what I mean when I say the model should have been updated. "It wouldn't be the CE Magnum anymore if they did that!" No, it would, since the Halo 2 BR received a visual cleanup and nobody's complaining that it should have been the original low-graphics version. Trust me, your precious nostalgia wouldn't take a hit if the edges were smoothed out and the details were more lifelike. All they had to do was take the Halo: CE Anniversary magnum (which was actually just the Halo 3 magnum's model) and change the proportions so that it has a shorter barrel and an extended magazine. That wouldn't kill your nostalgia, would it? Hell, you'd probably never know the difference and people like me could be satisfied too.
