Subject: Taking out weapons animations?

I'm someone you knew, maybe even were friends with.....but from another time...another place.

The Mayans were the most epic trolls EVAR.

This is something that occured to me today while I was playing H2.

You guys know how in H2, when an Elite takes out a sword, he goes freaking insane? Like his mandibles go flying out and he throws his arms back behind him?

That was freaking awesome. (and kinda scary if you looked at the Elite about to surprise you :/)

I'd like to see something like that, in Reach. Just a small animation, like the Spartan or Elite taking there weapons of their backs or unholstering their pistols/PR's. A little more detail wouldnt hurt.

Like my girlfriend said to me yesterday, "It's the little things that count.

...

*Wait..wha?*

Yeah, like in the one of the H3 trailers, when MC's running and takes his AR off his back, that was badass.

PM me any Coup questions you have.

What I really want is to change the equipment throwing techniques. Like in the trailer that IcyCold is talking about, when MC throws down the Bubble Shield. I'd like something like that.

First they should make a good campaign, and a working multiplayer system with forge, theater, etc.

But yes, when they get through all of that, some finishing details would make the game that much better.

Especially since the number of people working at Bungie has pretty much doubled since Halo 2.

It's Bungie, man.
I trust 'em completely.

The variety of animations is great, but come polish time I would really like to see a few things:

-Clips actually being ejected from weapons upon reload (third person).

-A separate animation for reloading an empty weapon and a partly full weapon (first person).

-More elaborate third person animations for actions such as meleeing, boarding, and pulling out weapons.

-More elaborate death animations substituting ragdolls in heated situations, and some more visible context sensitive animations (such as an elite picking up a marine and violently stabbing him with his sword while he dangles about or something - Crow's nest has some great examples of this).
