Title: Playing Like Aliens
Post by: Haraldx on September 28, 2007, 01:05:46 pm

I Think It Would Much More Improve The Gameplay If You Make The Aliens 3rd Person Look ! Instead Of 1st Person Look ! Why ?
in 1st person look :
 You cant see how you atack (no claws , scythes , zap , and tooths)
 It Is bit boring if you play as alien in first person
 You dont see yer taunts
 
in 3rd person look :
 You See How You Attack
 it is not so boring
 You See yer taunts
 Bad thing .... as tyrant maybe the most screen will be just the tyrant

1) you cant aim properly
2) you dont know exactly where will you fit and you cant keep track of the distances that well
3) imagine wallwalking camera switch madness
4) please, play the game first before suggesting.
5) it is possible to enable 3d person look.

As Caveman said, 3dpv is possible.

Try to aim with a camera, following dretch, which is above him at about 32-64 units, and now get a hs from floor.

enouh said. If you want to have a 3d person game, go play GTA.

Why don't you help the devs with the alien hud models? That would be a far superior solution to enabling third person view. Also, the plural of tooth is teeth, and none of the alien classes have a scythe.

Over-The-Shoulder Third Person FTW.

For an example, look at Gears of War.

yea, but GoW doesn't require you to shoot high speed buggers, atleast not that i can remember, but don't own the game. Did finish it at my friend's place.

If you want over-the shoulder third person, use devmap, then adjust cg_thirdpersonangle to around between 0 and 30. If you prefer the other shoulder, use either -X or 360-X. Then go dragoon and try attacking a turret or two. Tell me how successful you are.

Madness?

THIS
IS
SPARTAAAAAAAAAA

edit: I felt guilty having absolutely zero on-topic content, so I will just say that third-person was intentionally disabled because it allows you to look around corners, see things you shouldn't be able to see.
