DoomUK Posted July 19, 2004 I know it sounds daft, but does anyone here know anything about jumping in Doom 3 (as in jumping upwards off the ground)?. It just occured to me last night and it's something I've overlooked. 0 Share this post Link to post
chilvence Posted July 19, 2004 I've read somwhere that it will be done with both the players legs, and that it will allow you to reach higher platforms than walking can .... not so sure if this is true but thats what I heard at least hope it helps 0 Share this post Link to post
AirRaid Posted July 19, 2004 It would be horribly dumb to not include jumping in this modern day of FPSes. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sporku Posted July 19, 2004 I seem to remember reading something about you not being able to strafe-jump in Doom 3, though. Not quite sure if it's true or not, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted July 19, 2004 Sounds a bit far-fetched. How are they going to explain that the marine can run as fast when facing forwards as he can run diagonally? 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted July 19, 2004 no, it would be dumb, very dumb. if they did not include jumping and croutching. those are in FPS, i thought it was dump when "golden eye" didnt have it. it would be extreamly retarted to make a newer game, made to look realistic, and leave out such features are jumping, croutching and looking 0 Share this post Link to post

Deathmatcher Posted July 19, 2004 I wonder if you can lean around corners like in RTCW, FarCry and so on. It started as a pretty useless function in Duke3D, but it´s really cool and usefull in the games mentioned above. I would like to have it in Doom3 but I´m afraid it belongs to Carmacks list of superfluous features. 0 Share this post Link to post
the lone crouton Posted July 19, 2004 This is probably heresy around here, but I wish there was UT style dodging, at least for MP. 0 Share this post Link to post
AirRaid Posted July 19, 2004 Leaning and dodging - Highly doubtful, considering they wanted to keep the controls as few and as simple as possible. Remember the use key argument. 0 Share this post Link to post

LOL, I forget who it was, but it was JC, Tim Sweeney from Epic, or George Broussard of Duke Nukem Never infamy, or someone similar anyway, who once bitched, "You want more realism? Right, in my next game there will be a key for inhaling and a key for exhaling, and we'll see how you bastards like that!" (Paraphrasing from memory, but you get the gist.) ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

Also they have more of a stupid ai as in they just want to kill you, and dont care if they are killed in the process because they just go back to hell. I remember this from an article earlier this year. 0 Share this post Link to post

I think it will be in not only for the multi-player aspect but because they're making other games with this engine as well. Q4 and Wolf would both benefit from leaning. -E 0 Share this post Link to post
Combustable Posted July 20, 2004 It's not like they cant alter the engine for new games. Heretic (*shudder*) had an inventory system, and it was based off of the doom engine. 0 Share this post Link to post

You can strafejump... however, I'm sure that term was used as quake3's term which is jumping for speed, and not just left/right jumping (which I think some people interpreted it as). 0 Share this post Link to post

Spudz Posted July 20, 2004 unfortunately, i dont think you will be able to strafe jump. i was looking through the scans of some magazine from 2002 (linked to in the screenshots section of this site) and one of the little captions said there will be no strafe jumping. :( 0 Share this post Link to post

I hope they do though, I get bored if the only means of transportation is plain ol' walking. 0 Share this post Link to post
