a/d combat wont be very viable in ps2 , the strafe has been slowed down alot.
ttk is fine the way it is, i come from modern shooters and i know this wont a issue if they add features that allow the player to shoot from cover without exposing himself to much, or get to cover really fast when being shot at.
from what i saw in all the gameplay footage the combat is very1 dimensional ,players have limited options when fired upon, also that the transition from cover to fire is way to slow and exposes the player to much.
lets say your pinned down by more then one person, happens all the time, and will happen in ps2.your behind a box/ creat/rock/whatever guys are moving toward you, what options do you have?... well i can inch over to the left or i can inch over to the right exposing myself before i can shoot, then end up dead 9 time out of 10 because your limited to what you can do from cover.
k lets say your at the same rock/tree/box and a few guys are moving in on your location, if we had a feature like lean then you can fire from the left or right side very fast and snap back in for cover when you need it. but with lean you have added more dimension to the combat. you can move out shoot from the left and right, you can crouch down and lean from the left and right, you can stand and lean to the left and to the right. 1 feature,same scenario would give the player 4x as many options. this feature tends togo hand in hand with most games that have hit boxes/headshots. also allows players to use cover and fire from cover in a effective manner. but the down side is if you stick your head out while leaning and leave it out there just long enough somebody gonna shoot it off. look at some of the gamplay footage and see how long it takes them to move from cover to fire ,and fire back to cover.
this will be a issue............
being shot at in the open ????? well your dead, thats all there is to it. there are no features in game that allow infantry to evade fire/damage. a/d is not viable you will get your head shot off. this is is a must!!!!!!!! when the ttk is this fast players need to have a way to evade. im open to anything that allows players to react fast and give them a chance when caught off guard or out in the open. a feature that ive seen and used was a roll. let say your in a base and a enmy jump jets behind you. your dead thats it , time to repsawn. if there is a feature to avoid/evade this would be different ,and give the person who just got jumped a chance.... first shot fired would cause you to roll for cover or roll to evade the shots inc. then you have a chance. and this is big, players have to be given a chance, if jumped .... but when ive seen and used this feature and in all the games it was in, while in the roll animation you have a 75% chance to get headshotted.
ps2 looks like a work of art, and it should not have basic 1 dimensional combat like these old fps games.
