Your better than that.

His post seems fairly constructive to me, and he made it clear that he wasn't whining for the sake of it. How do we know that the running animations aren't final?

I'm hoping that a lot of the animations that are in at the moment are merely placeholders, and that the PS2 team has yet to begin working on motion capture.

I'd say that is more indicative of your shitty attitude than it is of the calibre of debate on this forum.

I think we need to trust Higgles and the team a bit more then that, just cause its SOE doesn't mean the PS2 dev isn't good with animations..hell some of them came from games with very awesome animations. I don't think the OP is giving the Dev team enough credit.

Actually, the animations are extremely well done for this stage of development. If you're referring to the stuttering sprint/reload/zoom animations of the first-person weapons, that is quite normal and will be fixed long before beta is complete.

Also in the most recent Night Ops footage by TB you'll notice that most of the animations are coming along nicely, and only the unfinished MAX weapons needed work (as they've stated before).

Just give it some time.

Because beta hasn't even started ? Like someone said, improving animation, high res texture, etc... comes at the end of development

I don't think motion capture is always the best option, and it certainly is the more expensive. I prefer they spent money on more essential issues, like gameplay issues.

Why feedback something thats been clearly marked as temporary content?

[IMMentat]

Why did you just compare player made content to AAA game developer animations?
I do not know who this X82 person is but he is most certainy not a paid and registered member of Valve software.

So,

Are you guys saying that you want this game to be successful or thinking the animation in TB's night ops footage was just unbearable like "Meh, I'm disappointed. Meh, not impressive at all" (which obviously isn't the case)?

@_@;;

Ergh, what's the point of this thread? Its a bloody alpha, you have two options:

1) Get early alpha footage and take it all with a pinch of salt that its got some way to go
2) Don't get footage and imagine the whole thing in your head

I sure know which one I would choose.
