Hey,

Im wondering if it’s possible to convert the shotgun from AA 2.8.5 to 25 Assist? And if it’s possible, can it be done? Shotguns will bring something new to 25Assist

*ive been playing some trainings a few weeks ago, the first SF training, before you go for the test you need to talk with some green berets members. On one of table you can see a shotgun. That’s why I’m asking about the shotgun.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Possible? Potentially.
Will it happen? Extremely unlikely.

As I'm sure you've noticed, we don't really work on the game itself nowadays. We don't really have the capacity to do so in a major way. And as much as this may seem like a not-so-major change, it would probably be a lot more work than you realise. Remember, we don't have access to the source code of this game. The modification you're suggesting would probably involve trying to reverse-engineer some parts of the code and changing the byte code of the game.
And I may be wrong in the details, but finding out what it takes is already quite a big task. So unfortunately this won't happen.

I was just curious about it. You guys did it also with the uniforms. I remember the time that 2.5 the camo pattern of the uniforms were dessert on dessert maps. Nowadays you can see the digital camo pattern on the uniforms from 285.

Anyway, no I don’t know how much work it is, to do that kind of stuff.

Thanks for the information.

Good observations!

Back in the day we had a very talented and well motivated member of the team that was capable of and (somehow!) had the time to do such things. But unfortunately he's no longer actively involved in this project.
That's why I say we don't really have the resources to tackle such things.

I'm sorry if the above post felt aggressive or hostile. It certainly wasn't meant as such. People just often underestimate the amount of work seemingly small changes can take. And perhaps they also overestimate the number of members and/or amount of available time for the members of the staff here (or other projects for that matter).
