How bout a death animation made in like poa form?
The player would only do it when he was on flat ground, otherwise he'd have the normal death of tumballing to the ground
and when the death animation is over, the player tumbles to the ground like in a normal death

I'm thinkin 3 places to have a diff animation
*head
*stomache
*foot

I'm suggesting this becuse i think itd be cooler and more realistic,
when i first player soldat i thought it was wierd how the player just tumbled to the ground in all these peices barley held to gether
I dont think that would really happen when you shoot someone in the foot...

comments?

Ragdoll rulez.
This would look stupid sokme places.
So I vote: NO.

Idea = [:-censored]

Idea = nice
Imagine the animation for headshots.. the head flies off and the rest of the body drops on its knees and then the usual rag doll physics start again.
The soldiers could simply fall backwards or something like that.. would be great if done right.

I prefer ragdoll

Ragdoll's the best, coz it's the most realistic thing for death animations. In old games without Ragdoll the head of death players was sometimes in the walls. Do you think that's more realistic?!

Nobody's talking about removing the ragdoll physics.

after the animation ends, ragdoll starts again

and ragdoll is not realistic, people do not collapse like that when u shoot them in the stomache

Who cares about realism? Ragdoll is funny.

I think that this topic is leading to a "like-not-like-than-sh**-each-other-in-the-face" thread (again).

Soldat is Soldat because it's not ultra-realistic and still fun. Leave Soldat's death "engine" alone. If Michal wants to upgarde it, then let him do it. If not, don't bother him.

Ouchies...but amen to that. Leave things as they are, and let my dead body ragdoll in the most unrealistic yet entertaining manner possible. [:D]

Ragdoll really is the best death animation thing around these days...

Ragdoll is the shiz-nit!

I would not prefer this simply becuz it is so funto kill someone and keep pumping lead into their corpse and watching the body parts fly.

wow

way to gang up on me!

it was a just a suggestion, aparently that sucked


I'm just saying this because when i first played soldat it realy stuck out, along with how much gravity effects bullets(not going to get into that)
