Subject: Fixing the FP view of character's legs.

I know this is only minor, but i still think it should be changed. In Halo 2, you can see the character's legs. But only the legs? Stand up and look down. Don't you see you entire body plus your legs? it would make it feel better if when you looked down you saw more then just legs.

When MC aims down, he bends over, he doesn't just bend his neck.

When you're looking around in Halo, you're bending your torso, not your neck.

That explains why you see your legs and not your chest are along with it.

Play co-op and watch the other character look up and down.

Edit:

That other guy beat me to it.

and another thing if you shoot mc's legs it doesnt do any damage to yourself i think it should do the same amount damage as it would if someone else shot you there

  • 07.26.2006 7:12 PM PDT

I never thought of that. There still should be a little more showing in my opinion.

You should also be able to see your body when you're not carrying a weapon. Also, the hands should move back and forth, not just stay in one position.

You'd reload at your gut. You don't press it against your crotch; it would probably hurt and is too low for comfort and efficient reloading.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

I was thinking of suggesting something I like to call "total first person", which is basically model the FP exactly how it would be if you were holding the weapons. For instance, stand up and put your arms out like you've got two pistols. Now, without moving your legs, turn to the side until your looking completely to the side. Isn't your one arm closer to your face than the other? I think Halo 3 would look awesome if they modeled the FP like this, but it'd take a heck of a lot of work.

Yes, that would be nice also.
