Sound and animation

Recommended Posts

I've been a fan of Opflash for a long time, and it has been on my PC longer than any game to date. However, despite my passion, there are a few things that I would love to see incorporated into Opflash2.

Sounds: The effects in Opflash were great, especially the way doppler and long distance sound effects worked. My main problem is with the vehicle engine noises. On the most part they are so powerful and loud that they drown out all other sounds. If these could get toned down a bit (and increase the quality of the sounds a tad, the jeep sounds like a backhoe...) It would do wonders for the "feel" of driving a vehicle.

My other issue with sound is with the in game commands. Rather than have the commands issued over the radio, I'd much rather have the commanding officer issue the commands by yelling, much like they did (and still do). Here's an example:

Your squad comes under fire! It's an amush. Your CO yells to his troops "Get under Cover! Find some cover!" while frantically motioning for everyone to get down.

Obviously this is one instance, but this will add to the intensity of every firefight. I'd also like a few more pain screams and variations of.

ANIMATION: As was pointed out earlier in this forum, this is where Opflash lacks the most at the moment. During firefights I want to see other troops running and diving for cover, motioning to their buddies to back them up, and resting and speaking freely during safe times. Some animations I think should be incorporated are: Gear checks, CO animations (get down, move out, engage, etc), fear animations (throw down gun and run away screaming maybe?), as well as the odd cigarette smoking.

The movement animation has to be redone (PLEASE!) as the way the infantry turn (while standing or prone) looks very unappealing, as well as their general wide-legged-gun-ready stance. Ugh.

A few features like these would add huge amounts of immersion to what is already the best military sim on the market. Opinions?

It would be great to have all kinds of sound like the jeep engine should have a start sound and a shutoff sound,and others unclesam.gifunclesam.gif
