Anti-spin

[Letum]

At the moment you can spin your self right round on the spot with ease. This looks very comical when prone.
How about limiting your spin arc when prone so that to spin 180* you either need to stand up or move foward as you spin.
This will look and feel far more realistic.
This system is implimented in sevral other games.

You could even have a system that means that when standing up you can only spin 110* in either direction before your charicture needs to change his leg position causeing the spin to slow down. This, however, would be harder to impliment.

Yup I agree.
And anyone who disagrees: Lie down on the ground and try and spin round.
The MG has a limited field of movement when deployed, and so should regular soldiers at regular movement speed. When you go beyond what you can easily twist your body to ( \ | / each line representing the angle of your upper body) you should be a lot lot slower to go any further round.

Yeah, this is one thing that always looked kind of funky to me... being able to spin quickly on your belt buckle. Not a huge deal, but maybe could be looked at.

That happens on almost every FPS available, and it bugs me. It really destroys immersion.

Another beef with the prone position: You can go prone with an object (wall, broken tank, etc) right behind you, with your legs seemingly right through the object.

 

[The_Countess]

these are limitation on the current generation of game engines.

the only "solution" i have seen was in COD where you couldnt prone close to a object or wall... however most of COD levels have really flat floors and little in the way of obstructions, and for RO:O would be completely unuable as it would be seemingly almost random where you can and cant prone.

its also dusnt really help the imersion if you cant prone next to a wall because you would be able to IRL.

you could make it so that people cant turn into a wall for example but that also dusnt veel realistic, as you will be limited in where you can turn, with a verry hard limit.
every time you hit that limit you'll be rememded your just playing a game.

i agree

tired of misfiring, people jump to prone WHILE turning around, or turn around real quick on the ground just to spray their mighty smg

All in the name of realism my friend, realism. Remember that.

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

Simply slowing down the rotation speed when you are prone would easily solve this problem. It seriously can't be an engine limitation.

It is annoying when you flank somebody who is proning, miss your first shot, and then in about 10 milliseconds, they are facing you and firing back.

Just did a 360 lieing down.

 

[Moz]

I'd say if you go 180 while prone you should roll onto your back

 

[Munkie]

LOL same here and I timed it too!
4 seconds, beat that!

Now get yourself a gun, and hold it ready to fire.
Or if now a gun, a broom handle or something that can vaguely simulate a gun
And you have to keep it in a position to fire.

 

[Munkie]

Tried that too. 10 sec, beat that!

 

[Lonyo]

Tried that too. 10 sec, beat that!

Done: 1 second.

That was in RO though, with an MP40.

You see the issue? 1 second vs 10 seconds....

 

[Somian]

24 seconds

but it would be a great idea, i played some other games where rotation speed is limited.

 

[U3BAPuHCKUU*_4yBAK]

Even COD have limited rotating speed while in prone. In RO, cheap tactic, when you try to bayo someone, he just prone; when you try to outflank him, he just can rotate with unrealistic speed and then kill you

 

[Rak]

Agreed, you can even make some "funky" moves if you adjust your mouse DPI to 2500

 

[Wolfstuka]

HA! 4 seconds with a broomhandle for a rifle! The time it takes to spin 360 degrees should take less time with a pistol than rifle or smg ofcourse

 

[stebbs]

i think the best way to change this would be to limit the movement of a prone player to 45 degrees from center in any direction. The problem is not that you can move in 360 degrees, but that you can keep the gun up ready to fire that entire time. You can flip on the ground pretty fast IRL, but not while keeping the sights up or with the weapon in firing position, and nowhere near as fast as the game allows us to do it. To keep it more realitisitc I would like to see the movement limited for prone players. Or slow the movement down after the 45 degree limit has been reached. Either way, the current movement is pretty weak, IMO.

Even Call of Duty 2 wont let you spin around while prone
