Animations, gun sound, corpse physics (war feel, gore)

Hi. Compared to other tactical shooters that i play, such as insurgency or Red orchestra the animations feel really stiff. Transition between positions implies a stiff animation. Specially when aiming. Maybe the mechanic allowing for 2 FOVs choice live in the battlefield (which is nice for the iron sight with snipers) its complicating the animation too much and removing more quality than the one its adding. Together with some wrong recoil animation when shooting and a very plain shooting sound specially for Bolt actions, makes it feel like the kills you are making are accidental and not because you are causing them. Also the FOV for most guns which look at the sight from real close together with the stiff animations and lack of inertia feels extremely weird. RO2, hell let loose or post scriptum did a great job in this regard. Maybe a bigger bass pulse or low freqiency bang would fix it. Dead bodies and dying animations are now much better but still there is much to improve. Dead bodies drop sometimes like if they just got affected by physics without previous inertia, dropping to the floor like blankets and sometimes clipping the floor. Again, some improved physics or inertia together with animations would solve this problem, as hell let loose, PS and specially red orchestra 2 did (awesomely). Together with more dramatic voiuces for the factions and slightly gorier and faster-spawning bullet holes, the atmosphere would be perfect, but i understand that maybe the last two are too much and not as important as the ones comented in the main body of this text.
Anyways, thank you for this amazing game. Keep up the good work!

Speaking of gore… what happened to it? I hardly see any now (yes my option is turned on)

Just feels weird when I shoot a guy with AP shells and he just flies in the opposite direction while keeping all his limbs :thinking:

Finally, some fun.
wait, we don’t do that here recently

Works on my end. A bit inconsistent but it does nonetheless.
