took me a minute to find em ,I dont know looks like hes crawling but I didnt think you could do that so he's probably dead ? i dont know or sure

Is that second pic one of the poly additions you get as a commander? Only time will tell...

Deadlock · 2003-03-10, 08:04 PM

*future viewers* he's in the bottom left corner, follow the eyes of the vanu max.

itd be nice if u could crawl, ambusing would be alot easier

Only other positition besides standing is crounching, there is no prone/crawling.
Prone is dead.

The second thing is most likely the TR collar piece for a commander. 1 of 5 of the rank distinguishing marks for CEP Ranks.

Deadlock · 2003-03-10, 08:17 PM

oh yeah, theres no doubt the second ones a rank issue. i just thought he looked funny in it

Nightmare · 2003-03-10, 08:19 PM

Now I dont want to advance in commanding ranks anymore

Hellsfire123 · 2003-03-10, 08:26 PM

Hes waiting for a medic. Death = coffin.

And its obviously commander addons. Read the caption. "A Terran Republic Commanderwearing an Agile Armor suit stands watch over his Advanced Nanite Transport"

When does PS take place? the 80's? What's with the coller?

Like, new slogan:
"Planetside! The only game where the players do not want to advance through the ranks."

Zatrais · 2003-03-11, 05:53 AM

Yup that NC guy is dead...

And that TR is a commander, can see the collar, armpads and shins...

Frozen-Monkey · 2003-03-11, 10:36 AM

maybe when you die your guys falls in different was such as, spinning around then falling to the ground or falling down then crawling a foot then die and lay stiff

Hawklans · 2003-03-11, 11:06 AM

Death animations would be good.... remember when UT2003 came out and it was more fun dying and looking at your dead body?

but i doubt there are that many if any animations for death...

FraBaktos · 2003-03-11, 11:17 AM

What are you guys talking about?!?

Thats the coolest damn... neck thing I've ever seen!

Well, I have to add the lack of Prone to my short list of items that pisses me off about this game. (it's a very short list).

I have to wonder who the hell makes a decision to leave out something as usefull as prone. Frankly, I am sick and tired of playing games that leave it out to make their programming easier.

I ask you, if you are in battle and someone is shooting at you, and you have no good cover, isn't prone the only real option? There is a good reason why it is used so widely in real life battle. Leaving it out of war games is nothing short of retarded.

More importantly, does the command polygon additions increase the size of your hitbox?
