I guess it was an oversight.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

And climbing ladders!

Welcome to 2001!

I've always, always hated that animation. Halo was a rushed game coming out in 2001; Bungie simply didn't notice it in their haste.

I think that animation is rather funny myself. I dont really mind it at all. Its Just funny to see people sliding through the air and throwing 'nades.

It's not really something I notice. Guess you grow used to it. Either that, or you're too busy fighting. ;D

Perhaps Halo 3 will have ladder animations.

Either that, or no ladders at all. Even Halo 2 had that same animation.

There are ladders in Waterworks.

Ladders don't need an animation, because you are just going up a surface.

Running doesn't need one either, because you're only going along a surface? ;)

if you tap crouch while moving backwards you can moonwalk.

Haha, I got to try that one soon. I thought the only way to moonwalk was to throw a grenade while walking backwards...xD

If there was an animation for ladders then you can't turn around, shoot, crouch or throw grenades while on it because that's physically impossible to animate. The weapon would have to be holstered during the ascent and your view would have to lock to a 180 degree viewing angle preventing you from looking behind. This is going to break the pace of the game IMO and I can understand why Bungie decided on gravity lifts and ramps instead of ladders. I think the ladder on Waterworks was an exception to this and an animation for that one ladder in all of Halo 2 wasn't worth the trouble. Who plays Waterworks anyways? :P I'm betting ladders will be completely gone for Halo 3.

The animation isn't impossible, it'd just be difficult to do. Different parts of the body would have to be doing seperate animations, but that's been done (WoW for example does this).

Agreed.

Anybody play F.E.A.R.? Aside from eliminating the Floating-Arms-Holding-Gun feel, the ladder animations are cool. F.E.A.R.'s cool, because you can actually see your God damned legs when you look down and you have to holster your weapon and watch your arms realistically climb up and down the ladders. Don't forget the spin kicking, punching attacks.

Exactly what I was thinking. I like F.E.A.R.'s animation while climbing. You can look around and everything. Though, I think the jumping/sliding kicks are cheap in MP -_- Besides that it does have a great MP.

Halo 3 can do without them, imo. It wouldn't really add anything.

It was funny watching all the stupid people trying to recreate that "glitch" though.

Yah, that animation is wierd, but apart from that, Halo has prety good animations. In most games, when you get in a vehicle, it just flashes from first person to third person and your player is magicly teleported inside the vehicle. In Halo, you actualy watch your player get into the vehicle as the camera pulls back into third person.

Speaking of vehicles...the grenade toss animation while in a vehicle is comical as well.

Haha yes.

It's a wonder they can stand on the roof of the 'Hog and not fall down.
