I would personally vote for PS like entry points in vehicles. As in, driver can only enter from position A, while gunners from places B, C and D.

but the lost visual features are still very bad.

they made the gameworld appear more real. the holstering was kind of cool, but if matts calculation is right, it´s worth to be dropped.

but the vehicle enter and exit animations are a really really bad loss!
it looked so awesome! and if you are shooting at someone who runs to a vehicle it would totally suck to see him just vanish instead of climbing into the safety of a cockpit while you still try to get him. it was of no concern that the soldier was invincible from the point the animation started, it just kept up the illusion of a real integrated battlefield!

not to mention that without the animations, making epic warfare machinima is ruled out :-( almost every good ps1 movie has scenes of squads or platoons manning their vehicles and starting a big assault in formation. the enter animations looked so badass, that these scenes increased every movies overall quality a lot.

oh, basti. are you going to edit the original post to put in answers we got?

I hope in that too, and in some speed restrictions on that. I submitted question about that but it was scrapped by basti. Maybe next time

I would really hate if this would be possible in PS2

It looks ridiculous, is ridiculous, and should be avoided at all costs.

I have no idea why SOE would even consider this.

lol that video rocks.

Hamma · 2012-01-21, 07:43 PM

That is just wrong.. I still can't believe I paid for that game what a waste.

ThGlump · 2012-01-21, 09:41 PM

Well you should expected it in BF3 since its there from beginning. But even soe took a lot of things from bf this has no place in PS. Entering should be position and speed locked.

That is probably not intended. Its just poorly made logic for entering vehicle. If you are close enough you will enter. Since in PS2 there wont be any any entering animation, that means they dont need us to stay at specified spot so animation is correct. Then so players have it easier you get rid of entering spots altogether, so players wont be confused why they cant enter. Scrap/forget about speed limitation and you are done.
All you did was to help players, to enter vehicle easier, with good intentions. But it allows such a crazy stuff, they probably didnt think would happen.
So even if its not needed vehicle entering limitations must be there.

Kind of wish they'd put it in holstering for those of us that have amazing setups. I'd prefer the game to age gracefully where others can upgrade their computers in 2 years and turn on these features. I guess it would give a slight advantage seeing weapons and such, but it would be a nice touch.

If this is the reason we can't see holstered weapons, then so be it. However, it SHOULD be a graphical option for those who have heavy machinery. Knowing what someone else has equipped is rather useful in some instances.

I would imagine each class is going to look sort of unique, from that you can guess what they can do to you.
