3 dimensional - under water system!

[Jagira]

When I first discovered ace of spades, I went in the water so see how it was like, straight away I noticed that you could not go under the water, only on it. I was frustrated by this, no going under the water so hide from enemies, and not being able to be tactical and stealthy.

You can easily see on the map where the deep parts are and where the shallow parts are, and yes, the ground level under water will not be flat. The sea floor will not be breakable but you will be able to build on it.

The visibility in the water will be very faint (an enemy on the surface, looking in the water at another enemy), compare to on the surface, maybe be a blur or faint colours.

I'm stumbling across whether you need air every no and then or to have unlimited air under water. bullet damage will not be affected in the water.

I know this will be hard to make, but this would be good in the next update

CONTROLS:
Space bar = swim up
Ctrl = swim down
Hold space bar to stay on the surface of the water
W = forward
D = right
S = backwards
A = left
if you release space bar you will slowly sink

paragraph 3 maybe hard to understand:
person A is under water, person B is on the surface, in person B's view, the visibility of person A

Great, I've always hoped to see someone post this. Approved.
EDIT: Although I disapprove the misleading poll.

On topic:

At first it seems like an interesting idea, but think how complicated that would be to code, you'd have to take into account that A) guns dont work underwater B) bullets dont travel through water very well, etc.

Also how would an underwater system be helpful to gameplay? I can only imagine it would offer a tactical advantage on SOME maps, and even then, not very often.

Gonna include in the next vol. of my Ultimate AoS Suggestions Poll

A) guns dont work underwater

- DE

Actually they do (it needs to be loaded on the surface if you want it to fire underwater), but it can only fire 1 shot before it jams, but like you mentioned bullets don't want to travel underwater, i think the distance is 30-100cm, about 30cm is for high powered guns and 1m is for low powered guns, ironic, huh ?

That would be really hard to implent and we all knew that the lowest map level 0 is water.

Also we dont have transparent water so how to go under it if you cant see anything would be stupid? Only if the water is going to be transparent but that would make a problem in scripting and map editing.

And from the game-play aspect i really hate if someone flanks my bunker like on " pinpoint" or other maps if aos is a build and fight game then build and fight. And for the Guerilla warfare tactic use tunnels.

All in all the 25% yes to 75% no shows that that isn't at first place even not at one of the last to add feature.

Actually the poll is about wether you should be able to hold your breath under water forever or not.

But you can't have a limited time underwater if you can't even get under water :D

HOLY SHIT THAT POLL TRICKED ME, I THOUGHT I WAS SAYING NO TO THE IDEA.


Anyway, this is one of the worst ideas I have ever seen, and for me this is a flat no. Normally I would feel bad saying this to someone, but Jagira has been spamming up the forum all day and I'm sick of it, so no mercy for him.

[HaloWarLord711]

i already posted something like this,but yours is much more detailed and thought out,i approve 110 percent

Well, i think that shooting a gun underwater is possible, ONLY if the water is outside of the barrel...
Actually, if you fire a really high powered gun (like a f*****g anti tank rifle), then the bullet will disintegrate upon contact with water. Quite bad, if you are using explosive ammo.
On the other hand, if the water already is in the barrel, the round might not fire at all.

I've already read about a gun that was made specially to shoot from under water,but I cant find it again =P

That's what i meant in conclusion, also what is your source ? Mine is Mythbusters. :P
