Raise weapon

[[CiA]Stiletto]

Too often, I die because there is no good way to avoid poking the muzzle of my weapon out where an enemy can see it while turning a corner, or tree, or whatever.

I say we should be able to do this with anything other than a machine gun.

What is with you and these damned macial brownies eh?


I think it would be good, might as well add this in as part of an entire gun control system which would include the over the sights/shouldered view and hipped and IS as it is now.

It also would fix the odd looking player animation.

I think that if we had a button to push which would bring the weapon to our hip would be nice, meanwhile while its not at a ready position one would move faster.

Well, I do not vote often for new stuff but I think this would add to the game play !
So, yes to whatever...

 

[BeserkWraithlor]

Good idea, because I hate how a person can see you because you poke your stupid gun out and somebody runs in and shoots 30 rounds into you like nothing. Also because the animation in RO is pretty silly.

 

[Zell]

agreed. I have no clue how this can be implemented though... maybe with a 'back to wall' button like in splinter cell?

 

[Maus]

agree.

magic brownies. special brownies. space brownies....

They're all good in my book!

 

[Munkie]

Is that a blister on Stiletto's face or a leftover from recent snack?

Wouldn't even need to be implemented in that much detail...just set it up so that you lift the gun up and away regardless, and animate so that if you're strafing while walking forward (this is how you would follow a wall in game), the gun goes to your opposite shoulder (and your avatar reflects this).

Should be doable, anyway.

Eh?

 

[Reise]

Space brownies.. heheh.

Anyway, it's a good idea. I just can't see how it could be used unless someone could look over their shoulder while resting his back on a corner.

 

[[CiA]Stiletto]

The important thing would be that the gun wouldn't be sticking out in front of you.

Even if it looks a little funny (you're walking diagonally parallel to the wall, not shimmying sideways), it'd be a gazillion miles better than walking that way with the muzzle of your gun poking out a meter in front of you.

That has gotten me killed (and other people, BY me) more than almost any other game issue.

For that matter, the anim could be tied in so that you would actually have to maneuver around to avoid binding your weapon up on walls, doors, etc..

 

[Heler]

nice rifle.

nice idea.

I really like this idea.

Havn't they got an automatic thing for not poking weapons around corners in AA btw?

 

[SgtH3nry3]

Body Awareness and Weapon collision detection could fix this.
Simply aim at the wall and your character will lift his weapon, this way you can not be spotted as fast by the enemy.

 

[Rrralphster]

Yes please! One more vote for body awareness and weapon collision detection.

No shouldering/over the sight please...

No, they have an automatic lowering/raising of weapon when you face a wall. But it seems the "forgott" to calculate the weapon length. In real life, if you are in a cramped space (building, trench) you would prefere a short weapon. A very realistic feature which I would like to see!

But the thread-starter suggests a voluntary weapon raising. This is nice to have but would require an extra button.

 

[Murphy]

Well, if its forced you could still "use" it voluntarily by aiming at a wall. I think that would be better than the button-option.

 

[Britney Federline]

Huh. If you have automatic raising/lowering of weapons that takes into account the length of the weapon, then my little MN carbine will finally take its place as the manly-man choice of trench-clearing weapon. Until a snub-nosed smg or pistol user sees me.

That would be a very, very good add for RO. Would you run into trouble with trees or other static meshes, like couches? What about other objects--are there collision issues there?

 

[Solo4114]

Maybe use the "iron sights" button to simply cycle through several stages of weapon positions. You could add a few optional binds for the individual stages, too (IE: hip, semi-shoulder, shouldered, and cross-body).

magical brownies?
