No Player Collision...

[Tom Peters]

So, I've always been really frustrated by this, but here's the situation I was in that just made me quit and type this out.

I just recently certed up for extra grenades on my heavy, so I have 2 anti-tank grenades, and let me tell you, it can be pretty overpowered in certain situations, just like the one I was in. But that discussion is for another thread.

Anyway,
I'm at a tech plant and I see a huge number of VS in a room, I believe they were defending a generator. There was several MAXs in there, and I tossed both of my grenades. Bam, instantly got like 4-5 kills as I blasted one of the MAXs in the face with my Deci, then I'm busting out the MCG, and just as I'm moving into position next to the door, some genius teammate has the same idea but doesn't realize he's walking ON TOP OF ME and lets loose on the trigger.

Every single bullet hits me in the head, because we're at the same height, same position. But he can't tell that, because if you're on top of eachother you can see right through them.

I don't think there's any enemy player collision as well, so close range fights can often have you both move through one another and it gets all wonky when you have to 180.

Player collision would fix this nonsense, but I can obviously understand the difficulty of adding something like that, and even the reward is just a minor fix by comparison to some of the current issues this game faces.

Still, I feel like it would help to see how many other people are bothered by this, or to maybe point it out to people that haven't noticed it.

It should also be noted that Planetside 1 did have player collision, but it was very warpy.
