Chaotic Dreams

is there a way of playing the duel/melee in 1st rather than 3rd person?

is there just a key to press or can't you do it at all?

nah u cant

well thats a bit annoying. not really keen on the 3rd person view, but i guess they had to show off the funky new moves you could do somehow.

Yea I actually hate that too. The forced auto-switching to 3rd pers w/ melee kinda blows. Always screws me up. Atleast consider making this perhaps a toggle'able option in later patch CD.

I am pretty sure that It is NOT REASONABLY doable , with our current melee setup. It could be done , but you either wouldnt be able to see your weapon , or you would have some serious clippage.

EDIT. Note the bold letters

also anims wouldnt work properly,they would need to be animated/modeled for FP view,maybe some other things


so not worth it

Im pretty sure you can force the game into first-person

press ~ and type

behindview 1

might crash game though

typed loaded in red orchestra 2.0 and fired redeemer, lol crashed game

Damn good points, I've started getting used to it and it aint so bad after all....just awkward at first.

Not in melee mode, it switches back AFAIK.

"News flash: the entire american army was destroyed in a nuclear explosion while on the battlefield. experts are baffled since no planes were detected entering the battlefield."

Melee 1st is something we wanted to do from day 1. Just no way to get there yet. The biggest issue is sync up animations. Your 1st view of your weapon does not exist in the "real world" only your HUD. Thus we would have to create a 1st animation for each 3rd animation we have. Then sync them would be tough to do. And there is more.... However one thing I tried was move the 3rd view so that it views from a few feet in front of your eyes. It worked so long as you dont move or else you had cases were you clipped your model.... So while its something we would like to do, we just dont have a good way to make it work...

could you move the camera forward so its in the guy's head?

that would mean even more clippage
