I could have sworn we already have this implimented when you go from standing to prone whilst strafing sideways. It came with the standard 2142 animations we used for the soldiers. It's definately not the obscene swbf version though, just a nice touch for when players dive for cover.

Or maybe I am hallucinating all this. Not sure...

From what i remember, you couldn't fire whilst rolling in BHD and the whole screen rolled with you.
I do see your points of view and see that it may not fit with the mod.

I dislike the whole rolling thing, it always struck me as unrealistic in BF2, you' d stand there (or couch) and lace a guy lay on the ground with automatic fire, and he'd just role on the spot and shoot u with a head shot, whilst hardly getting hit. Not gonna happen, you ever tred rolling and getting a shot off like that with a rifle, especially with a hail of bullets comming at you?

Personaly I hope this is a feature that won't get included, or if it does, then your whole viewpoint should role as well as your character just like in real life, where it would then be used to nip back into cover, instead of just to avoid getting hit, whilst lining a shot up.

this may or may not be true but still if isnt as flexible as simple light cloth.
ever tried on a metal armor? not the weight, but how well you could move in it

Agreed.

I think it's also that doctrine of Soviet Red Army-style 'we've got 100 000 000 000 men, so it's OK if you die, we'll still have 99 999 999 999 left!'.

So no, no rolling.

In the movies I recall no Stormtroopers diving and rolling for cover. Not only because they were to bulky maybe to move in such a fashion, but also because they trust their armor to protect them.

Therefor I don't think this would be a good feature to add.

I'm with TY here (including how he thought the 'rolling' talked about the rolling of starfighters ) - it's a Hollywood feature and I don't really like it.

well rolling as a rebel would be much easiers (so would jumping) cause you dont see them walking with big armor. its only common sence.

Well, rolling does make it more aggorvating I guess, I just liked that when someone stands in front of you with a shotgun, you can at least roll out the way giving you a second our 2 to at least prepare a defence. Armor wouldn't hurt that much rolling in, if you rolled in lava, then it would be like tar and feathering yourself.

I'd rather roll thorugh the mud with armor than without armor, the SWRC armor is quite comfy according to the books

Yes, the dive-and-roll from the battlefront series. It was too effective, really. I think this game could do without it.

Also, would you like to roll around while encased in metal armour?
