When i downloaded this i was hoping on getting the true goldeneye experience, instead, I got an average sourcemod. You can turn, and run up stairs much more than in the n64 version, and you can jump. In my opinion, this takes away from a good FPS. I find it pretty annoying when I try to shoot someone, but their jumping around like a god damn monkey, its annoying, not to mention unrealistic.

I'm just wondering if jumping and generally fast controls will be kept until the final release. But I still really enjoyed it, and its a wonderful idea.

jumping is a server variable and can be turned off

Speed is actually pretty close to canon.

As for jumping, I wouldn't mind a sort of stamina system... I will explain in Dev Land and see how it sticks.

[Sporkfire]

It feels faster, because the levels are slightly bigger than the original, so movement speed is slightly faster as well.

Actually, I was mostly referring to the turn speed.

That can't be helped.  Since mouse became the turning device, fixed rotation rates have been eschewed.  To limit player rotation would be as well-received as tapping the forward key once for each step.

just adjust your mouse sensitivity to the way you want it then. other people will rock your socks off though if you make it to slow hehe.

1. Jumping: Always behind closed doors has been this discussion about jumping. Those that believe just making it a variable [of ON or OFF] at base is the answer, and those that believe certain limits on the ge_allowjump 1 variable also could help give a well rounded experience for everyone.

2. Speed: with regard to speed, there is currently a big difference between the internal game that we test, and what beta [1.0/1.1h] versions have as running speed.

I feel the team have tweaked the speed into an "optimal" state at this point. Of course the fans individually will agree or perhaps feel differently based on many factors when they play it. Its my view I doubt any fan has gone as scientifically into the dynamics of speed vs. PC vs. map size, as much as the collective team has over 3 years. If you end up not agreeing, we are sorry but its definitely something which was worked on enough that our result outweighs your perspective.

I mean that in the most respective way.

p.s can ppl please put discussion like this in the relevant thread for opinions on what fans want from beta3 version. No need to make a whole new thread cluttering this board when one exists here ; http://forums.goldeneyesource.com/index.php/topic,2325.0.html

Agreed, if played speed was reduced it would make the game play crap. TBH i would rather it was turned up a notch only very very slightly.

Well, the speed is on the slow side of canon, but again; because of motion 'techniques' in GES, the average works out about right.

Like people have said before... You use the mouse, thus why the turning speed isn't going to change. Nothing worse than your turn speed being limited to a set speed on mouse controls. It should work as fast as you can move the mouse, like every FPS in existence for the PC Thus far that use the mouse for input in some form.

As for Jumping, that can be easily disabled on the server. Just contact the admin of the server and ask for jumping to be disabled.

As for running speed, it's almost the same as the Real game.

I quite enjoy the addition of jumping to the game, but, each to their own.

[Bissrok]

My problem with jumping is that people use it to avoid damage while still being able to attack. And, in real life, if you jump straight up in the air during a gun fight 1) you're not going to go very far up and 2) you're not going to be able to aim and you're shot is going to be way, way off if you do fire. My solution would be to allow jumping (since it's still very helpful for clearing obstacles), but disable attacks while doing so (afterall, you're only in the air for about a second). Of course, I'm sure that the bunnyhoppers will hate the idea. But, then again, I'm not sure they're literate, so I guess I don't have to worry about them too much.

[VC]

I would hate to miss an attack opportunity because I can't hop and get my line of fire over something stupid like a railing or crate, but denying attack while jumping may be a good idead.  We've discussed Rocket Launcher a bit, and players will not be able to fire it while hopping around.  Implementing that across the board wouldn't be much more trouble.  Or, perhaps only non-gun weapons would be allowed while in the air, so melee, mines, and grenade would be allowed.

[Rodney 1.666]

That makes sense.
That's like how the AIs in GE007 are able to do forward rolls across the ground with a rocket launcher.
That don't work...
