ive seen bits and piecies of gears of so why not have are own cover system, players can toggle a key to "hug"
a wall, sandbag or Etc. meawhile players can hold down another key to spring out from cover to fire back at their opponents, if players let go of the key that makes them come out of cover they can go back into cover to avoid the next barrage of gunfire.

also another key could be used to mantle or scale your cover if someone lobbed a grenade into your cover or
if someones about to shoot you you can press that key to jump back into cover.

:D

So far as I know, you would need a ton of programing to get it to work well, and you would need to tell the computer what walls can and can not be used for cover, in short it will be vary difficult without custom maps and meshes. But I am all for this if someone can make it work well. :)

It will not be a half hour project, it will need some custom animations to look good, especially if you want to blind fire in 3rd person like in gears. That would be so cool. Come to thank of it, if the cover system were all in 3rd person it would be to cool for words like in Rainbow Six: Las Vegas.

So if you all get it to work, I just might pay money for v3. or the TC witch ever comes first. 8)

I hate be rude, but I don't think this would something worth considering for ut2004...

Like DW mentioned, it'd take a lot of coding, custom maps, and extra animations. Something like this probably wouldn't be made by the RS team for ut2004.

I wouldn't be surprised to see someone make this for 2007, though. It uses the same engine of GoW, so theres no question if it's possible, but quite frankly, I'd hate to see Project Archon turn into a third person exclusive shooter. Plus I think leaning would be all you need if you want a good cover system for an FPS.

I did not mean 3rd person full time(that would suck) I meant you would go into 3rd person when you take cover. See link.

Oh, I see... but still, I think it wouldn't really work for UT2004...

It would be cool though if the 2K4 (or 2K7, if it still doesn't have this feature) AI could be tweaked so that bots sometimes take cover behind objects, then pop out to fire short bursts at you, just like real people would.

I am with Red and Dark.

It would be so cool, highly unlikely to get in 2004 but cool nun the less.

Why does anyone want this kind of system? Just find a corner, column, anything, to run behind.

yeah, and this would only be good if the RS team modded UT2k4/7 to be 3rd person playable like GoW

hmm.. 2k4 was not designed around such a system, and as such, will not work well with it!! features like this, would require making a TC, or game.. custom maps, etc.. :(

i'd have to play Gears to see how it works :)
