Feature from Unreal - Dodge, what do you think?

[U3BAPuHCKUU*_4yBAK]

What if add dodje ability into Red Orchestra, though it should not be 5 meters jump like in UT ,

It could be useful in some situations:
Dodje over door then spray with SMG; avoid gunfire by dodging in cover.

How could it work: you just double tap one of direction keys and you dodje in that direction.

 

[D3terioNation]

Nah would make the game look awful!

 

[[DA]DIZ]

I think this could work, although i doubt u can dodge with all that gear on your back...

 

[sandorski]

At first(after reading title) I thought, "Ya, Dodge for Tanks!!!lol", but after reading the thread a limited dodging ability would be a good idea. It would likely be more of a Side Dive I suppose. Strafe seems a tad slow in what would normally be a panic move.

 

[Hyperion2010]

just enable sideways diving

Would be interesting to see, it has its uses. Dodging back around a corner to get away from a MG spray, or to jump out of the way of a grenade. If it's added it should work like the dive to prone, we dont need sidestepping morons in RO.

agreed. it shouldnt enable circle-straving.
not voting because im not sure if i really want this in or out.

 

[HobbStweedle]

it should deffinetly be linked to your stamina meter, and take a large chunk of it. otherwise thered be people diving across feilds and roads not getting shot.

 

[[DBDUK]ImIgRaNt]

Yeah. woudl be awesome but it should take up large portions of stamina and probably disorientate you slightly. If your panicing and diving wildly away your going to be slighty confused

 

[bloodypotato]

I think it should be more like a dive to one side or another, with the aforementioned double tap of the direction you want. Also, to make it fair, as said before, it should take lots of stamina, and your character should have to take time to either start crawling or stand up, because you don't want someone just diving down and hopping straight back up.

On second thought, this is already done by tapping alt, just without the cool disorientation effects that you would expect from diving straight onto your stomach .

You can dodge in RO to an extent and that should be enough. Charging somone while zig zaging fast has a dramatic effect at your chances of being hit as this is my No.1 method when assulting and don't usualy get a scratch on me (of course it can't apply to a ppshi in iron sites or a gun ho hip strung mger).

 

[U3BAPuHCKUU*_4yBAK]

It would not look like UT if it have some restrictions. If you dodge, you should be slowed for .5 sec , also decrease accuracy.
But it should not drain 25% of stamina, even with full amminition, its not realistic, imo

 

[Solo4114]

What exactly are we dodging? Bullets? I don't really see a need for this.

 

[MILK]

I am realy missing bullet time from Max Paine and possibility to bend back as Neo in Matrix did to avoid bullet hit... that would be c3w1...

 

[U3BAPuHCKUU*_4yBAK]

I see many people even if played UT never used dodge if they associate iy with Max Payne. No, I do not talk about 10 metes jump - only half meter.

 

[18Bravo]

Dodging, bullets, bayonets? Reminds me of the movie Dodgeball's "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." Except replace wrench with bullet.

well we cannot jump on 50 cm high obstacle... how do you want to have dodging in RO?

 

[Solo4114]

I know what the dodge function did in UT, and I certainly wouldn't want to see THAT implemented in RO, nor do I think we're at any great risk of the devs saying "Yeah!! Great idea!" and putting it in.

My point is more about the utility of the maneuver. In UT, dodging actually had a purpose -- you could dodge slower moving projectiles. In this game, I don't see dodging as all that necessary. If someone's got the drop on you and fires, you won't have time to dodge. If you keep moving, they'll have a tougher time hitting you anyway.

I'm not above adding things like mantling and such, but this particular feature seems fairly useless to me. We can already just turn and dive.

Dodge????? Dodge what? enemy fire?, artillary fire? Grenades?
Absolute ludicrous.
If anyone here thinks thats realistic, then they have spent too much time playing video games or watching too many super hero war movies, and now these influences have altered their way of viewing the facts of actual combat.

FACT 1. In real combat, no matter how fast you are or good your PC is, you probably cannot dodge bullets. Once in a while an induvidual may get lucky and avoid being hit but if you keep trying it you will get hit.
FACT 2. In real combat, you dont respawn after charging headlong into enemy positions and getting killed.
FACT 3. If you try side stepping like some drunk line dancer, you will end up breaking your ankles. Real terrain is not smooth like a tabletop as in video games.

I cant picture charging troops jumping side to side when landing on the beaches of Normandy, or side stepping when house clearing in Stalingrad!
I remember playing that old game Delta Force, and had players jumping side to side as they were running towards me for about a hundred yards and then they would knife me. Me being a little cheesed off would ask them if they thought that what they did could be done in real life. The answer i always got was
"yeh man no problem!!!"
then again maybe the nintendo generation knows something about infantry warfare that no one else does!!!
Change for the sake of change is not good. If some people would like RO to become more arcade like, (i.e easier) then so be it, but I for one likes the way it tries to model combat.

 

[Dheepan]

Think they mean just diving to the left or right, like the regular dive function except sideways...
