shooting while sliding

(Joe999) #1

when i watched the recent vid, i noticed something that was similar to major annoyance in wolf:et. people were able to instantly drop on the floor and shoot you from below. it took out the fun/motion of a gunfight. brink seems to have something similar. hence i have a few questions:

  • can you slide everywhere?
  • what penalties are there for shooting when sliding?
  • what penalties/delays are there when you go up/down?
  • when you are sliding, are you standing up automatically once the sliding process is over, or do you remain lying on the floor?
  • how is the hit detection when you shoot at a player which is sliding?
  • why would anyone slide while shooting?
  • is the sliding animation also possible in mid-air, ie can you kung-fu kick someone in the face?
  • when can i try the beta?

Very poor accuracy and no directional control

  • what penalties/delays are there when you go up/down?

Wear condom.

  • when you are sliding, are you standing up automatically once the sliding process is over, or do you remain lying on the floor?

I’d hope automatically but maybe some payoff with being unable to shoot during the transition

  • how is the hit detection when you shoot at a player which is sliding?

The answer here should be… perfect.

  • why would anyone slide while shooting?

slide = the new dolphin dive. chirp chirp

  • is the sliding animation also possible in mid-air, ie can you kung-fu kick someone in the face?

I frigging hope so, if you can slide knock down I want a wall jump kick to the chops!

  • when can i try the beta?

The envelopes, they needs monies!

/me hopes we won’t need another b_pronedelay

Beta is not for “trying”.

They said there wouldn’t be a prone so I guess you just stand up after sliding.

You stand up after a slide. If you hold crouch, you stay in crouch.

Flying kicks. Man, don’t get me started :frowning:

You’d probably remain in crouched position after sliding.

If its anything like the hitboxes when someone spams lean, in etqw… then :frowning:

    'cause it looks cool!!!

who cares if you cant hit anything :tongue:

Definately an effective evasive manuvour. And the fact that sliding into someone knocks them down has me thinking of great ways of taking down 2 on 1’s (ie slide one while spraying at the other, then finish off the other)

lol bezzy’s post just appeared outta nowhere.
and it’s not in the only thread it has happened, what’s up with that? :confused:

(Atavax) #14

so if you fire a grenade launcher while sliding, theres a good chance because of the inaccuracy of sliding that you’d shoot the ground right beneath you and kill or at least maim yourself?

I swear this wasnt here before…but sweet anyway!

my bet is heavy body tipes won’t be able to slide, if im right you wont have to worry about that since they are the only ones who can use grenade launchers.
And even if they can, i seriously doubt the innacuracy will be that bad

it wasn’t

The nade bounces before it goes off, so it will bounce away from you. In fact it will probably be a valid tactic to shoot the floor in front of you to bounce the nade into a guy who’s somewhat close to you.

If you can sprint you can probably slide since sliding is just hitting crouch while sprinting.

In previous vid Loki was a medium and used the grenade launcher. I think the heavy weapon version is an auto-grenade launcher. So I’m thinking medium class can use nade launchers.

If there is no FF do your own grenades and explosives harm you but not your team mates?

I’m pretty sure i remember reading somewhere the the medium guy will have a grenade launcher, thats like much slower to fire then the type of grenade launcher the heavy can solely use.

its like that in a lot of games, so i’d imagine so. I wonder if grenades will go through teamates or if they blow up on them or what… So if a teamates strafes infront of me right as i fire, is it going to hit him, detonate and damage myself? or will it go through him and go to where i aimed? or will it bounce off of him and blow up somewhere else? and then if it would go through him at close range, does it also go through him at long range? or is there a range at which explosives will explode when hitting teammates?
