    I want a samaurai sword that can decapitate and I think it would be really cool if when the players head gets chopped off, they can still see through the eyes for s few seconds before they get the death screen.

    Also, your eye position is actually just below your player model's collar, not in its head.

    That cant be! how is it that I can turn my head and look around?. If my vision was located in my torso, I would have to turn my whole body to see around.
  7. FateJH

    You do. The way your primitive first-person model and another player's full-body model operate are different. Another player might not perceive the subtle degrees of turning you might perform on their screen, at least not with the same level or accuracy as you do on your screen. They might also see it as turning around in full measure. As far as you are concerned, however, you are always completely pivoting your "body." Everything else is just animated gesturing for the sake of realism.

    Some games do separate "head from body" tracking like the Arma's. PlanetSide doesn't.

    I dont see much value n that... maby for longer reaches, but thats all i can see it for. Imo, its just a longer knife, and if he was looking for killing potential, a power knife could do that job. Any way, that wouldn't seem to fit a space age shooter. Many of these threads come from overwatch players, since ive seen them mention it in the past.

    Actually, after some thought, that doesn't seem like such a bad idea. But it would of course need certain draw backs so that one infiltrator can't one shot everyone in a base by wildly swinging... that and i think it would make more salty vets

    Man, that's played out. I want a Tomahawk with the option to throw it!

  19. EvilWarLord

    You mean a "Katana" is what your looking for, If i recall those were in PS1.
  20. Metalsheep

    Yes they were in PS1 and they were called Fusion Blades.

    They were pretty rare, you had to be granted one by a GM or go to fanfaire, and were the same strength as regular knives. Their powered secondary mode made the blade glow a faction color and increases the speed of the swings rather than damage.

    Id love to see them return.
