Arma 2 Taking Cover Request

Recommended Posts

Hi is there a mod that allows the player to take cover behind buildings cars or trees or any other object. Like Gears Of War. i know there is a mod called SLX but that doesn't take cover like gears of war. I know im comparing 2 totally different games. But the taking cover system that gears of war has will make Arma 2 more life like. Or even Far Cry 3 Taking Cover system would be awesome. instead of just proning and crouching. Im sorry if this is to difficult to achieve. i just think that with the Taking cover system. Arma 2 will be more of a life like Military Simulator.

Thanks DarKArMa

Admins can you please delete this one please

Hi

COSLX has no cover system, idk where you got the idea from that it had a cover system, anyways no there is no cover system in Arma2/CO I would have found it if it were there.

All i can suggest is hide behind a wall and go to 3rd person view, thats essentially what you want.

As for requests, or questions regarding addon and mods suggest you post here in the future:

Also your other post is the same as this one, keep in mind when posting that you can edit your own posts.

Maybe you could put a video up of the type of thing you want, I'm not familiar with gears of wars.

It's the third-person shooter genre with cover mechanics that reduce many of those games to a whack-a-mole type of fest.

First-person shooters like Killzone 3 implement this feature as well, but sims like Arma aren't really that twitch-based. If you want to use cover in arma you'll have to work for it, ie position your unit behind objects and use crouching and leaning to fire suppressing rounds. Medal of Honor Airborne had a cover system where you hold the zoom key and using WASD you can crouch and lean pretty fast.

SniperElitev2 had a cover system, and same for Red Orchestra too where from cover you could shoot over the wall as in blindfire.

Doesnt Smookies (SMK) animation pack have something like that? sorry I can't see video but from memory you could attach yourself to walls etc and blind fire over the top and around corners.
