Aircraft exploding mid-air + Death cam


After watching alot of videos and seeing some screenshots I noticed two things that are minor details but might help make the game look a tad better.

1. When aircraft blow up mid air the parts kinda fly off in all directions, thats fine if your hovering but if your zipping around the parts should fly off in a cone shape relative to your velocity and direction of flight. Id really like to see this as it adds just a little more immersion.

2. When you die in a vehicle it rather quickly switches to the death cam. Put a slight delay in it and let the info page fade in, I wanna watch my final moments for about 2 seconds :P This one isn't as important and it might make people feel the game is slower. Toggle?

One word, it starts and ends with with "A", contains an "L", "P", and "H". I believe this to be the reason that the chunks fall without inheriting momentum.

He's pointing out some "minor details" that he noticed, there nothing complaining about it.

Fanboys jump on dude's dicks pretty quick if they ever smell complaints.

Valid thread, good points. I completely agree with B. A would just be nice to have.

Good ideas, maybe they'll add them in during/before beta.

I'd like to see them both make it into the game. Let's say B is ripe for integrating into beta, and A would be fine before or after launch.

I would say they are still working on the physics. Maby they will implement it and I think you have a good eye to see it. Maby put in a option to see more of your death because I myself want to get back into combat as fast as I can. Even two seconds of extra time looking at my dead body will frustrate me. lul!

Also, when vehicles die you see the soldier for a brief second. I assume this is because it's alpha, but still bothered me.

I'd love to see planes actually crash from time to time in stead of only explode.

I was thinking, but wasn't going to make a thread just to bring it up, but..

The death cam should follow your main piece of wreckage so you can see how you crash instead of just looking straight down.

I agree with 1, but some pieces should fly off randomly

I wonder who gets the kill from falling debris?

Re: Aircraft exploding mid-air + Death cam


I'd like to not suddenly have an out of body experience the moment I die. I'd rather the camera follow the cold, lifeless gaze of my soldiers final vision as he falls to the ground.

...Or as my world spins wildly out of control just before impact with something much, much more stubborn than my falling, fiery coffin.

This.

The physics would be difficult to emulate, but it would be outstanding that when you die...The camera falls to the ground and you see the action around you from the dirt as the "Kill Screen" appears.
