Extreme view bobbing while sprinting

Postby k0mbine » Sat May 05, 2012 5:42 am

Guys, try running in real life, outside your house on your... lawn or something. Then notice how much your view is just murdered by the excessive bobbing of your head (if this doesn't work, try harder.)
Now I notice when sprinting within the game itself, it seems like you're just sliding very fast. I feel that if your view bobs in a way whilst sprinting ingame, it would feel more like sprinting and also provide some immersion factors.

I would enjoy bobbing to an extent, I doubt it would be NECESSARY in the game but it would be a nice little detail. It would get annoying if it murdered the view as you said though.

Sort of a hyperbole I used there. Not murder of course, just a light bobbing, to add a sense of running.

Zoom in screen while running?
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

Mmm, I guess. But it could be quite annoying...

Not to mention the dizziness that would come with it, it still sounds like a good idea. :P

We need more penalties for sprinting. I guess these two suggestions could be annoying enough for the job.

Here are the cons that I observed:
You don't autoclimb 1 blocks
Can't shoot

Here are the cons I came up with:
Slightly annoying but immersive head bobbing

That makes three.

this would be cool, it would also make the sprint seem more completely implemented into the game

A nice detail but it shouldnt be as much of a prority as fixing the lag that pops up at random intervals (when you shoot somebodys head 5 times with the semi). +1

Since all you need to use the sprint feature for is to get somewhere (or away from somewhere) quickly, making it harder to see exactly where you're going seems reasonable. You could probably still use the map to get in the general direction you want to go, so absolutely murdering the view sounds fun, but would probably only serve to generate more complaints. Not that anything else wouldn't.
