Better weapon animations?

[Xolat]

Found the most exhaustive high-quality animations of pistols, rifles and snipers on the internet in a PC game-

YouTube - Counter-Strike: Source Skins from FPSBanana 2

Never played that game but was surprised at the quality of weapon animations, do you think they are better than Killing Floor?
Although there are no iron-sights..

 

[Deafmute]

Nein.

I dont get the point of this thread

Quite a few of those were pretty nice

Recoil and reload animations are superb on most weapons.

Yeah CSS has some pretty decent weapon animations, source engine is a newer engine after all... but the game is Sheeait now

Tbh I dont think they are that much better if at all.

Those are custom animations.
If someone spent 4 months animation the pistol in KF it would look better.

CS:S's default anims suck.

I think the current animations are rather well done.

I don't see why the age of the engine should have anything to do with it, since both use bone-based animation.

Total noob at this kinda stuff myself. Probably just was looking at graphics rather than the actual animations

Is gun at 6:25 bullpup version or 5:40?

Even the sound is better..

They're great if you're not a nitpicker. At least with the default CS:S weapons, there's things like the left-sided ejection ports (guns were modeled by a lefty and then mirrored), inaccuracies like pulling the M4's forward assist every time you reload, and the fact that suppressors aren't that simple to properly equip.

On the more aesthetic side, most of the animations always seem "jumpy" to me, especially with pistols and shotguns. The exaggerated recoil on them is really drives me up the wall. In contrast, the reload animations are as casual as... something that's really casual.

There's a lot of excellent community replacements but not enough shrug off the lame default animations if you ask me. Then again, I understand that good animation can be an abrasive female.

For what it's worth, KF's base engine only predates Source by 3-4 months.

Furthermore, dongs everywhere.

Better weapon animations

If you look at the weapons in ZED-time, it's wrong to state that the animations could be better, because they already are perfect.

There are different animations, but not better.

For a very long time, i thought that was how you chambered the new round. Then when i played Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising i was shown different. Either that or when i watched the futureweapons Masada video.

What does the forward assist specifically do, may i ask?

Nah theres some things you notice when watching the animations in 0.0000 time.

Like the m32 launcher, it just reloads the same grenade 6 times, you cant notice in normal gameplay.

Oh...and watch the LAW when you bring it out of your inventory, watch carefully, you may spot something very suspicious lol

Fully agreed to the utmost fully full level of maximum fullness.

Yes, his hand slides through the side, and when reloading the HS the fingers go through the shells, the Lar, finger goes slightly too far.
But they are amazing animations, especially the LAR.

 

[Major Liability]

The forward assist on AR-15 type rifles is used to manually close the bolt if the chamber gets too dirty. A lot of people train to hit the forward assist every time, just in case.

I think the KF animations are already sweet. The only things I'd like to see added are the proper amount of rounds inserted in the LAR and pump-action, and also to have to charge the weapon if you don't have a round left in the chamber when you reload, and if you do you get an extra shot in most guns (21 for M14, 26 for SCAR, etc.). Ideally you'd have animations based on demonstrations by tactical firearms instructors, but it's not an ideal world.

No one has mentioned drawing the katana on one side and sheathing it on the other?

I do believe that it's been like that since release, ever notice the hitboxes on players? They're terrible, even with perfect ping.



And KF has good animations, I don't see a need for new ones.
