Movement/ Cover System and Character Customization.

Link to this post 13 Jan 12

Yeah, so what we've got here:

Only shitty FPS games use a glue-on cover system. Duck and you will live.

and

Killzone 3 had the shittiest melee system I've ever encountered. It was much worse than MAG's. In MAG you could have a knife battle. In KZ3 if any random faggot decided that it would be a great idea to bum rush you there was a game-breakingly high chance that he would actually succeed in his tomfoolery. If only KZ3 hadn't been CoD on PS3, perhaps GG wouldn't have lost so much of their fan base.

gravity could indeed give some very funny situation.

But moving slowly...not that fun.

A low gravity planet with moon jumps could be fun on the other hand. ^^

the counter strike knife is actually good
make it an equippable item but cant be OP quick swipes at press of a button for a kill or else the knife will be the most powerful weapon as im sure u will be able to sponge some shots in this game from the looks of it (being able to sponge some shots isnt bad btw, adds more skill to the game imo just gotta balance it with the knife)

I think, with the competition this game is going to receive from other FPS's, they're going to have to have a vaulting or advanced movement feature. Also, remember that this game is still going to be in development for a year, and most of those trailers are older. It's likely movement will become more advanced. Character customization will likely be about as advanced as EVE's, but will probably have more special modules as well, for example: Jetpacks, speed increasers/ stamina boosters(if sprint requires stamina), etc.

@Cazeduron, a special module that counters high gravity or low gravity situations might be an idea

I recently saw a video on the Dust 514 keynote where a guy slid into cover, do you think CCP took the movement system we discussed before into consideration?

gamers have had some really bad cover experiences recently. i'm fine with good old fashioned moving to cover. no system...for the love of God. Please.

MAG knife was the worst ever. i abused it as well. use the BF3 knife or nothing. its the only one based on skill and is extremely satisfying. knives dont win gunfights.

I really hope they do not have an extend knife skill as well, as you will need to buy that knife I hope, and buy a skill to equip it. The knife as BF3, with no animation, but I do not care. BF3 knifing is reward, and pleasure, not a cheap thril. However a lot of dumb poeple in BF3 make knife easy as well.

Cover system, maybe ps4 if you can do shoulder checks in a fps. right now nope

Maybe we could slide into a different area of this - customization, particularly color and emblem customization for clans. I'd be fine with not having emblems available on the armor - though I'd really like them inside the war barges and the like - but one thing I'm really hoping for is armor color customization.

Take the PLC for instance - we're probably rolling in Charcoal Grey and White, with Red accents; that's a distinct look. The ability to have the entire corp in the corp's colors is something I'd really like to see.

One of the things that kills a customization system, for me, is a lack of cosmetic options.
