Fix the cover system?

[Federico 76]

Hello everyone, i just tryed the open beta that i got with the deluxe edition. The games looks awsome, especially now that the bugs with the server browser are fixed...
But in my opinion the cover system really needs some improvements: for exemple, especially when you get behind a low cover, the player model always keeps his head almost out of the cover in a way that you often get spotted and killed by an enemy on the other side even when you're supposed to be "safe".

EDIT: I'm sorry for that 3rd cover system thread... But the other 2 were just ninja posted before mine ...

trying to take cover in an object that lower than the height of your head when crouching will not cover you fully,your head will stick out....so what you do? you move left and right so you dont become steady target,once in a while press aim key to peek with weapon and check for kill or surpress,or if ur getting surpress press the cover key to deattach and go prone.

There is no 100% guarantee that cover system will keep you safe at all times,choose when its best time to use it,best loaction and execute...Sometimes you kill and sometimes you die...

It can also be improved by letting the player take a low stance at cover on a corner (like on a building) when "attaching" from the crouched position, instead of forcing the player to stand, and by allowing the player to mantle over low cover from the "attached" position, instead of detaching then mantling.

I wasn't speaking about covers lower than your head while crouching... Of couse noone would use cover system in such places since we're not bots.

I mean that even if the cover is "tall" enough, the player model will always put his head almost out of the cover... Which is incredibly dangerous and nonsense, since in most cases your head will be lower even in your normal couching position. Which makes cover system quite worthless...

Yeha, i was thinking about this too...

and by allowing the player to mantle over low cover from the "attached" position, instead of detaching then mantling.

This is already possible.
I always use the mantling command while "attached" to a low cover, and it always worked fine.

From what I've seen, the cover system is awesome and one of the reasons why I have enjoyed the beta so much, have seen very few bugs, it probably could get worked on, but it is amazingly implemented.

i just want to be able to crouch/stand up when in cover.

for example i take cover on the side of a door way, my character automatically stands up. I occasionally want to crouch BUT stay in cover, so i can get a lower angle...

I also like it, I have noticed that a few people stick out way to far while behind walls, exposing the entire body...some even look like they are standing 1-2 feet away from it, it is noticeable because they are leaning... maybe that is why I was shot while behind a wall looking around the right side and he was on the far far left and took my head off, because no part of my body or weapon should have been showing.

Yep, i'm not saying that it's badly implemented, i'm saying that it could be even better with some optimizations, like adjusting the player's height when "resting" while attached on a low cover, and add the possibility to crouch while using a corner as cover.
Of course i understand that these are only minor issues, and that right now devs have probably more important things to fix/improve, not only about gameplay etc...
