When a sr8 player (or psg player too i guess) is running, shoudln't the weapon be down just like the other weapons. I mean, i've got that impression the new version of Urban Terror 4.2 should be as realistic as possible.
If you look at a typical war movie where there is a sniper in the picture, you will never see that a sniper person is running with the weapon up.
If you look for example at USMC, no sniper there would run around with the weapon up like they’re doing in Urban Terror 4.2(atm)?
They're running with the weapon down to the left or right into the chest untill they're gonna shoot, then they're taking up the weapon , scoping and then shooting.
Well one of the first things I did before getting down to work was to get a lot of input from the players themselves and the one of the strongest indications of what they want was a result that was not realism but rather what was realistic.
There is a difference between the two as going for realism is the ideal that if someone shoots you you die which is really what UrT is not about. Realistic is just something that becomes what should be realistically expected. If someone is using a sniper rifle then it is realistic to have a pose that would indicate that posture from one where the player is simply looking around and not using the scope at all.
It’s just realistic to have a means to translate the current 1st person perspective into the 3rd person model and was a rather unfair advantage to the person using the SR8.
