Turning your head

[Eldrath]

Hello there!

The "sprinting" thread gave me the idea to start this topic.

What I propose is, that you can turn your head while walking/running. If possible with an animation, so people are able to tell in which direction you are looking.

Combined with a slower speed if moving side-or backwards this could add to a more immersive first person gameplay. My favourite example is ARMA 2, cause moving in this game feels really realistic and just "right!

Imagine charging the enemy and being able to watch left and right to see you fellow soldiers at your side - without weird looking sidesteps and backpaddeling.


ps: Hints on english and grammer are allways welcomed!

I would love to be able to look epicly over the carnage of a scorched and/or burning city. Now we just need epic poses!

Holding CTRL should put you into "look mode" imo. Your body will still be facing forward, but your head would turn around and your WASD controls would stay the same, not change depending on where you look. It always bugged me in mortal online that I had to side strafe to enjoy/look at the scenery.

Quoting myself.

Good idea, I never thought of that.

[drakedude]

Seconded. Poses ftw!

would definitely like this

Definitely a good idea, would be a godsend for RP'ers and Machinima makers.

I`m glad my suggestion received such positive feedback! Hopefully I`ll see you guys ingame, even if you try to sneak up to me from the side. :P

Sorry its taken me so long to reply to this thread, but I will say I have thought about this from the very beginning when we started working on EoC. It is defiantly something I want in but of course would need Dave's approval.

So keep your fingers crossed, I know it can be done as I am also an ARMA2 fan, but in an MMO it maybe different I just don't know.
Lets see what Dave says eh?
