Rolling is almost impossible in 1st person (unless you ENJOY disorentation just one button push away).

Althought without the Cheif's 1337 jumping skill, a more latteral 'Dodging' movement should be assigned to the 'A' button.

You don't call Mirrors Edge disorentation. That was the best example of how first person and free running can go so well together. which is why i love the game so much.

Mirrors Edge was designed from the ground up to prevent players from loosing track of their sorroundings (color coding and defined skyines/light environments).

I am not sure if a roll in first person could be done in a dark environment without becoming confusing.

Really though a short, vertical jump would be nearly useless in ODST.

yes although in odst it would be terrible especialy in custom games because that would make plasma, spike, and flame grenades useless becaus a person would just roll out of the way making them almost impossible to hit! Roll moves in ODST = BAD IDEA!!!

Although not an FPS, if you are arguing that you cannot jump and roll in first person, I believe Oblivion had a dodging roll that could be executed while in first person.

BARREL ROLL!!!

lmao, I don't think people are capable of doing that


itd be funny though XD see an odst jump in the air and then just spinning and then..die? XD

  • 06.26.2009 4:08 PM PDT

If you already live in heaven, Where do you go when you die?

to hard to make working physics and make it still look real... because in real life, when you roll, it's not a 2 second task...

theres the crouch, the jump, the midair flight, the landing roll, then the three second pause for your head to stop spinning and for you to get back on your feet...

and just think how terribly hard it would be to fight, roll (IN 1ST PERSON), then get up and keep fighting without completely losing track of where you are?!

I take Martial Arts class where you practice that. It isn't as hard as you make it sound, and its easy to find where you are.

Donuts > all other food

Wow. Why are so many people voting yes?

This is Halo. Halo. Not Gears of War

  • 06.27.2009 4:48 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I think that you shouldn't be able to have your feet splattered or assassinated.

No, this is halo.

Well we can jump in the game remember. But rolling or doing a front roll would be cool, only campaign though

That would ruin the entire game.
Halo is meant to be a "static" game.
No human effects, no limps, no shaking when you walk.
That ruined COD and GOW.
Halo would be better off with a gun in it's mouth.
Wtf are you talking about it ruined COD. Cod is meant to be a realistic fps

Dude stop making stupid threads This is a FPS there is not going to be any jump and rolling ok just no.



Mirrors Edge did it, why not Halo? TES IV: Oblivion also had a roll feature, where when you rolled in first person, your HUD would dissappear, and you'd glide a short distance. It looked cooler in 3rd person, but if did the same thing.

This isn't dead yet?
Why do you care about Jump n' roll?
This is Halo, the most Non Realistic popular game out there.

Half of the people who play Halo don't like getting blown up by a noob that constantly flings nades all over the place. The noob knows he can get kills with no skill at all with this tactic, because the poor noob hunters cant do -blam!- about it

The Halo game mechanic is simple and it works well. Chucking in extra things like rolls or sprints or grapples or anything like that will completely wreck this good thing. Bungie have nailed down a style that we all like and know.

The trinity is all you need.

Wow. Sounds like people have some pretty strong emotions on this topic, both sides.

No, I don't think there should be, and I don't support a command economy or dictatorship.

  • 07.07.2009 6:19 PM PDT

Hush. If you’re quiet enough, you can hear it on lips of unborn babes.

I know for a fact that it isn't going to happen in ODST..........but maybe in Reach.

Some people win, some people loose. I just try to kill people because life is so much easeir that way.

it could just be a quick jump left of right, like in republic commandos, with no role.
