Improving walking animations on both FPS and camera views.

I do think the animations on walking could do with improvements, I mean it's just that for example your always holding the weapon pointing straight and doesn't seem that natural. There should at least be some sway movements on the arms and weapon while your walking.

Yeah, IMO they need a motion capture studio...

And first-person body awareness.

Another thing I like to see improved on the walking animations from what I heard about discussed in the Steam forums. The models could have their backs slightly crouched down abit like a hunchback. They always walk while the back is totally straight up and that doesn't seem right. In the middle of a battlefield a real soldier would never walk into the line of fire like that.

Yeah, the DOD:S character animations are much better. They move in a realistic "combat" stance by leaning forward a bit, and keeping a low profile.

In RO, they stand right up and walk like robots into battle. It doesn't look right.

Also, the default moving speed in DOD:S is running, while in RO, it's walking. I'm pretty sure we could have better looking walking animation though.

Haha yea, It kinda takes away the ww2 feel when youve got robots speed walking into battle, feet sticking out of buildings, and cant forget how funny it looks when somone is bayonetting

The default speed for RO is a jog, actually. Otherwise it'd be much slower than the sprint you get when you hit shift! (I timed it once- they cover 100m in 19 seconds. The world record- for trained athletes with nothing loading them down- is 10 seconds).

Do trained athletes have bullets flying at them? lol

You realize that'd be more likely to make you eat dirt than run faster, right? Besides, that's not just trained athlete time- that's best-of-the-best, training for months at a time for one race times.

lol Hmm, I guess we could test this, first lets have you run 100 meters as fast as you can, wait 30 minutes then we can get a mg42 out there with live rounds pointed at your legs, then time it again.

Anyway, trained athletes all have a limit to there running speed, the only thing they can continue to improve is there endurance. I'm not a researcher on Russian training, but if they didn't run and fight hard/fast enough, they'd be shot, either by there comrades or the enemy. And im sure they have some hard ass training before they started giving everyone whos anyone a rifle.
