Arms!

[Paratrooper]

Okay, lets do a little comparing here.

Now take a look at what Ben has in store for us now:

Now take a look at a perfect example of what the community both wants and needs:

Now notice how the first image gives the player a huge blindspot. Then look at the second screenshot and picture it in-game. I think we could all agree you would have more room to see.

Lets start by looking at it detailed wise. Which looks much more appealing? The big blob or sexy arm?

Personally, I would prefer the arms that I showed and provided you guys with. The others wouldnt be so bad if they werent so plain and big. Too awful lookin. As I really start to look at it, I kinda like it. Fits in with the soldier player we have. I'm gonna be in the middle either way.

The second one gives a larger blind spot. The gun is much closer and leveled to the player's head, blocking out more of the screen.

EDIT: Also, maybe we should get SIMOX to make the first-person new arms? He's more experienced with it than anyone.

Considering weapons sway a bit already when walking I doubt the arm is static. Stop making terrible assumptions from 1 screenshot. Modding should not take priority over development of the default game.

Where did weapon sway come from? And of course it shouldnt, but it shouldnt tout it then drive a stake through it. I have never even seen a single thread lamenting about the lack of arms.

I really hope mats nostalgia mode or whatever hes calling it gets rid of the arms.

As for the blind spot thing, you cant tell because my model isn't in first person. I had to choose the best shot to mimic what Ben had.

Actually, funny story, that isn't completely SIMOX's design. Some guy first made arms and released it on the old forums. He just made his own lil version to it. Either way, yes he should do it, but ben would never give him the chance.

Also, just because someone releases the arms they make, doesn't make them more experienced then those who dont, no?

Again, keep in mind pretty much everything in openGL is in beta.

I just hate arms either way. Sorta ruins the feel of the game.

It seems like all this does is let you see your own arms. Doesn't add anything, doesn't change arm placement, just lets you see your own arms.

I will personally enjoy this small aesthetic change.

Thats what ben said in the irc after posting the picture. He also mentioned he hoped to do the same with the legs, torso, and etc.

Maybe we will be able to see our feet in the future, I have no idea.

[Carnage]

If Ben ends up changing the torso, legs, and possibly the head in the same way he did with the arms, wouldn't we look a bit... fluffy?

[ZaPhobos]

If we can't see our feet we must be fat...

Maybe mirrors edge style, where you see the belly, hips, and legs instead of the whole body?

[UNDERCOVER]

I love the idea of arms in general, I just don't like the current arms that Ben made.

+1 for the arms idea, -1 for the arms design itself.

Do you mean something like this:



Looks awesome!

Thats exactly what I meant. Would make for something more realistic and cool, eh? :D

[CraftDinur]

i think it would make it more difficult to code if Ben made it so your legs would appear and your arms would flail if you vaulted over something. it's probably better to leave out these complex movements and just leave the simplicity in the game.

Realistic Ace of Spades'ness FTW! Now we just need muzzle flashes....

[size2]I hope people don't get pissed of because CoD and Battlefield also has this.[/size]
