Set during the American civil war, War of Rights aims to bring players into the midst of several famous battles. Gameplay focused on realism will enable players to fully engross themselves into the ferocious combat of the era. Featuring several regiments, players will quickly learn the benefits of fighting together. An organized and tactically clever chain of command will be needed in order to succeed. Players will be able to enlist as different ranks spanning from Private to General of the army, each with its own distinct role and play style. Utilizing CryENGINE 3's sheer amount of power, getting as many players online as possible and thereby ensuring massive battles will be one of the priorities throughout the development.
Springfield M1861

The metal looks waaaay too bright, it looks like it's made out of silver or chrome or something. Add some scratches (especially around the edges) and maybe a little rust, also darken the metal a bit.
Also, I don't know a lot about muskets, but I imagine there might be some burn marks around where the hammer drops (especially during battles).
Oh, and here's a tip, you can upload all 3 of these images in one go so that you don't get 3 updates all called "Springfield M1861" spammed in someone's updates.
Thank you for your feedback! The reason for the bright metal is partly because of the use of specular maps. The general condition of the metal on newly produced rifles was actually rather good and this is what is represented here. I do agree about rust and less "shininess" in variations representing older rifles - the Springfield m1861 was however only a year old at the time of the battle of Antietam, many of the rifles even less than that, and should therefore be in somewhat better condition than many of the other weapons.
We're currently working on adding more detail to the texture of the metal, as the one used here is a very quick and simple one.
Thank you for your tip regarding the updates - I did not know that. :)

The textures are a little overly simple right now, but that can be fixed quickly and easily. Other than that it looks really great.
I used to do some civil war reenacting, and one of the guys in my unit had a rifle that looked EXACTLY like that. (Bright shiny metal and all). Unfortunately the idiot was extremely reckless and was eventually kicked out of the unit, that rifle probably didn't stay nice and shiny for long the way he treated it.
Oh I'd love to do som reenacting! Too bad the war is pretty much unknown here in Denmark.
Thank you for sharing that little story with us - we'd love to hear more. :)

Wow, Denmark. Interesting. Someone finally gets around to making a shooter game set in the American Civil War, and it isn't an American.
Btw, I posted a comment on the summary page too. I had a few questions about the game.
Yeah crazy isn't it? ;) We're all based in Denmark at the moment but would love to expand our development team and get more international at the same time.
