jimbobfury Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I was just wondering whether the ability for your soldiers to lean around cover to take a shot was going to make it into the game at all? Looking through the files I can see that the sprites are already there, and looking pretty damn good. I like the idea of this functionality, allowing your troops to make the maximum use of taller cover items, such as corners and vans. So, is this due to be implemented, or has it been scrapped?

Buzzles Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It's been scrapped afaik. I'm sure a forum search would bring up more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal Hicks Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Really good suggestion!! Me likes! This is perfect! I really hope they make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It's not going to happen. If you use the search function to look for a two-thread discussion on manual kneeling, nearing the very end Chris said he was scrapping the lean animations. At the time of the discussion, your troops auto-kneeled at cover and hugged it i.e. the lean sprites WERE the kneel function (the PC Gamer article of the time brought this up as a feature). BUT after a very long discussion, Chris decided that he was going to ditch the sprites "as uncessarily confusing" (although you really need to read at least the 4-page discussion in thread two of manual kneeling to understand why). Hicks, I think you would find some of the discussions on earlier features to be very interesting, to see how they have panned out in the current demo.

Max_Caine Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Coitenly Part 1, which is a summary of the pre-migration thread Part 2, in which our hero ditches leaning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The lean you were looking at was not for looking round corners. It was the original art for kneeling when in cover, before manual kneeling was possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
