in the 2k4 version, the view switches to 3rd person when you do a taunt animation....

this really bugs me because it takes ages for it to switch back to normal view because you have to let go of the keyboard completely for the view to get back to normal. when in 3rd person, the passes and shots go in random directions which totally sucks if you suddenly receive the ball while bragging.

I can understand why you want such a feature, but since its possible to do ourselves through double binds, i dont think it should be default.

or at least make a menu option that asks whether you want the view to change...

Ya it was made so people couldn't lame by doing taunt anims while charging up a shot ^^;
And I guess seeing as it's kind of functional or at least not less functional, it was a good choice.

Can be annoying sometimes though, I guess..

surely the hitbox sizes are the same?

Errr..they should be? why wouldn't they be? O_o

During a taunt anim you can't tell where a player is aiming. This was being abused, so the change to 3rd person, in conjunction with shooting where the gun is pointed, was added.

The big thing that surprises me is no one has abused the aim thing. Pressing the right taunt and releasing at the right time means you can shoot sideways etc.

Would be a useful trick to learn, if really lame too. ^^

Ya, tried it..it's fun ^^;

You probably shouldn't have said it here though

if you taunt just before reset after a goal then pick it up and shoot u shoot it as if your taunting

Why?

If people abuse it, i will cry till its removed.

aww, i think pelvic thrusting as you shoot says a lot about an attacker....

what the one said


but abusing the taunt to aim another way is really inaccurate, too hard to learn the right timing + aiming, + pressing that key at the right moment....

which one?

how about simply not allowing to shoot or pass at the same time as taunt anims?

edit: doh what a dumb idea.... might as well switch to 3rd person view then

why can you not remove taunt anims completly?

cuz they are fun....

we'll dissallow shooting when taunt is playing as soon as people abuse it....
