Features & Improvements

First person improvements The first person view is now properly implemented. Started as a small feature with just a different camera position, we now have a 'real' first person mode. The perspective got changed, so that more of the weapon is visible. The fov does no longer affect how the weapons look and the overall feel of weapons got improved. Instead of being static, they are now a bit disconnected from the player while moving and pre-move slightly while rotating. Depending on the weapon, they are more or less sluggish. To further improve the first person view, there are small animations when jumping and landing. First person view by default With the changes made to first person and the increased amount of options for players to interact with objects in the world, it was time to make first person the default view when starting a battle to make interactions easier. Animation improvements The rifle animations got slightly adjusted to have better default poses. There was a lot of snapping in some repeating animations, which got fixed now and everything is smooth. In addition, there are new animations for pump shotguns, repeat rifles and bullpup reloads. The pistol animations got reworked. Units will now hold the pistols closer and more centered which also fixes the annoying off center aiming when playing as a player with a pistol. Also, ranged weapons will now be blocked when the muzzle hits a wall in first person, which means you can no longer glitch shoot through walls. Recoil improvements Recoil got completely reworked and will now continue after a lot of shots. Previously the recoil stopped when the weapon reached a certain point. Weapons will now move more with more horizontal recoil, which can be difficult to predict and control when shooting fully automatic weapons. Shooting while moving is also more difficult. Overall, rifles have much more recoil than before and submachine guns are very easy to control. You can see the individual recoil values for each weapon in the arsenal. Overview The best way to experience the changes to the weapon feeling by playing, but here is a small video to show some of the changes above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u8HGXWe5gc Other improvements
