Close Combat

well thats true^^
the lightsaber combat (as in JK2 and 3) was just an example for a good close combat system implemented into an id-gameengine.

for myself i'd be satisfied with just punches and kicks ;)
and i think THAT would fit warsow (.. as long as it is not in the normal gamemodes, as it may cause too much chaos)

yeah implementing a kick like the one in postal 2 would be awesome =D

hmm .. got another idea:

is there any possibility to slide? i mean as it is done in mirrors edge (crouch + slide ... whatever)- not bug-related sliding on ramps :-P
using something like this in midair could also make a powerful kick (opponent and oneself (slightly slower) flying in one direction instead of both in the opposite direction)

you can slide on special shader textures called slick

You can slide on wdm4 ice for example

hmm ... oh yeah that sort of sliding^^ meant straddlling(?) - sorry wrong word (i'm not english, so i sometimes screw things up)

mm.. Warsow need maps with ice..

Do you know Urban Terror (former Q3A mod)? There is sliding - when you have some speed you just crouch and it slides till zero speed. In the game it's very useful because you have limited energy (used on sprinting and jumping) and this saves your speed.

Like slick on ca maps? Would be way too fast, and you couldn't hit anyone. :(

But for some maps it would be fun :)

I think something like that was on Q4 too.
