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.
An experiment I wish to test is to take a sniper rifle, and snipe someone in the head while that person is throwing a grenade in the passenger seat. Now, technically, since it's only the animation, and not the actual avatar itself, that is standing up, the bullet should go right through what appears to be his head when in fact from his perspective he never stood up to throw that grenade.

You could even do it in slo-mo with cool Matrix swooshes.

Another amusing animation is when you kill someone who is in a vehicle. Let's say Master Kim did his experiment, and shot the grenade throwing sideseater. And following ZC Tango's suggestion, with the slow-motion Matrix style shot, the end result will be quite amusing. I know all of you knows what happens when someone dies in a HaloPC vehicle: they pretty much go through it. xD

Hmm I know you stand up also in a pelican seat to throw nades, what about the side seat of a scorpion? Since I rarely see a reason to do it on halo PC, and no one really does, I can't recall ever seeing that.

Halo PC does have a ton of screwed up animations, for example when you jump and then tap crouch at the right time and you can dance and get your weapon to go through your body and all that.

Yes, it certainly applies to the Scorpion tank as well. Halo is messed up.

Oh, and of course, don't forget aiming downwards while having your avatar's head face forward instead of down. Thus, that was how Red vs Blue worked.

Heyyo,

F.E.A.R. had awesome animations because the 1st person view IS from the player's head space but a bit in front of it and made a few polygons see-through to achieve this. Because of this, there is no discrepancy between 3rd person and 1st person animations/models. So yeah, even Sega's "Condemned: Criminal Origins" had the same animation style and such since it's on the same game engine (Jupiter EX) and the same amazing graphics. All games should follow this great example.

Another good one with the same style of animation was Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay. Soo well done game.. I'd say the best movie-to-game ever made (well, based off movie series..).

Nice dance vid. =D

Btw, one other odity with the animations is how you make a dead person's body explode and fly into the air... their arms/legs start flailing around again as if they still had some life in them. Like, wth eh? lol. But I guess it's one of the little things that helped make halo that much more unique. :)

First, don't double post. Especially if it's to ask if anyone is here, especially if it's only been four minutes since your previous post.

As for your question. Have you tried extracting the files? And have you read the readme? Most mods come with a readme file that explains how to install the mod.

Also the 3rd person and 1st person melee animations don't match up.

Or how bout bungie/gearbox's laziness for the flamer and plasma cannon? Try meleeing while crouching, anyone(who is not you) can't see anything, they just hear that generic "thunk"

Heyyo,

Hehehe. I do find the looking up and down anims funny were he just aims the gun and doesn't bother looking that way.

I think the thing that drives me the most insane is not really the anims.. but how player's studder across the screen at close range from you... like... why? but I guess that's why player interpolation was made for MP in many games...

They shudder at close range because Halo was made using 30 fps animations, you are probably playing on no vsync or vsync. It's the same for me, I hate the glitchy looking animations when you get in a vehicles like that.

On an off topic note, I'm getting a logitech mouse and am not sure which one to get, I'm getting a G5, MX518, or MX1000 laser mouse(its a wireless, but won't lag 2.4GHz connection) They're all around the price I'll pay

bungie should put out a pach that fixes those gliches. cant imagine that it would be that hard to add a cople anamathin frames.

o and about the mouse you should stay on topic but just to answer your question if you are on a mac (hopfaly you are) go for the mighty mouse there a bit prisey but there 4 bution and thay work like a charm takes a bit of geting used to at fierst but once you do you will love it. as for geting a logiteck mouse i would go for the MX1000 but the normal micosoft mouses are actuwaly very well made (and thats a lot from me considering i am a mac user) and the micorsoft mice are like 15 bucks (not wireless)

Dude, Halo PC is over three years old. Don't expect a new patch, ever.

Oh, and keep you're mac'lovin ways to yourself :P J/K.
