animation canceling

#41

The bloom on the DMR was lame.

Doom wasn’t proper 3D. It doesn’t count. The physics weren’t the same.

#43

The first two original Doom games are actually entirely 2D but make heavy use of groundbreaking and frankly insane, thank you John Carmack, technology to present the illusion of a 3D environment.

Quake 1 has one of the best video game soundtracks in my opinion. Just saying :P

Animation cancels IMO are exploits. IMO exploits are also not cheating.

The devs did say they were looking to patch animation cancels, but their try failed and instead broke the game (no fire,no attack, no interaction, no spring, etc bugs) for both FT and Pred.

I would argue that if both factions have animation cancels, then it would be fair, but there are no animation cancels for FT and plenty for Pred… So excuse me while I pick my assault+duelist with 15 perk points while you down me with your wristlauncher/combistick/bow combo that deals 350HP damage

You can cancel parry stun, mudding up and reload animations as ft, I manage to do those by accident just by pressing too many keys at once mid action. Had someone show some of those to me in private matches so…

Animation Cancelling is fine for fighting games and the odd game where it’s an intended feature. I believe animation cancelling with this game isn’t a feature, otherwise we wouldn’t have perks such as fast hands around. So yes, I would say it’s an exploit.

Except this is an asymetrical game

So unless you want to argue that FT should leap in the air like Pred that’s not a good argument

No it doesn’t, there are macros for it.

you still don’t mud up (mud goes away in less than 5 seconds)
you don’t reload
and there is no FT stun after a parry, that’s just for pred

animation cancels for FT actually cancel the interaction

The only animation cancel I can think of for FT is the dual/triple knife attack, which a lot of players do anyway

Yes but Pred should also have 4 members

Give Pred a gun, it can be predator designed but have them be copies of FT guns

And give FT Pred guns

Change they’re health around as well

animation cancels are not exploits they are added depth to the competitive nature of a game

Obviously there are limits to what exploits are harmful to the game but generally speaking most exploits are good as they add competitive depth to an otherwise simple game
