One problem most FPSs have is that the gun disappears into the wall/obstruction when you are standing next to it. Vietcong solved this by raising the gun up whenever you were standing next to and facing a wall/obstruction. The gun automatically lowered when you moved/turned away from the obstruction. This avoided the problem of seeing the gun 'clip' into walls, crates and other obstructions directly in front of you. Just a small suggestion

I think that in the entire game, this type of thing should be based on collisions. Say a Jeep collides into a wall. The amount of energy from the moving Jeep is transferred to the wall, damaging both the wall and the Jeep based on the mass and speed of the Jeep, as well as the mass of the wall. This would work for the ground, bridges, walls, vehicles, trees, everything. [img]/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif[/img]

In games like hl and ut2003 there are seperate models for first person and third person view models, third person view models are seen by everyone and are lower detail then fp models, first person models are only seen by the person carrying them and are much higher detail then third person view models

Since farcry has realtime lighting it most likely uses one model for al views so unless the player bounding box covers the extent of the weapon they will have to make some sort of animation that pulls the weapon up when near a surface to fix the clipping problem, if farcry uses third and first person models then this will not be a problem because first person models can not clip through objects

Games wont get better or any newer if new things are not done. Sure it would be harder but oh well new changes will always be hard unless there masterd. Not like there making games for free and the people shouldnt expect much, its there job to make games. And new games should have new options,features,upgrades rather then just the same FPS,RPG, ETC over and over again. Thats just the cheap way to make a new game and I dont think the company making this game is a cheap company.
