Operator Convert to 3rd Person [Community Opinion]
As many have noticed the Operator has been untouched since December. We believe that it would be in our best interest for the longevity of the project to convert the Operator to a third person system based on the resources that are available to our team.
Long term wise we would mirror the 3rd person behind Division/WWZ and allow shoulder switching and all the normal requirements of the genre.
Here is a shortlist of the pros that we have earmarked by switching.
1. We have one animator and making the switch will allow us to give the operator access to all weapons based on the fact that the Operator should now be using our third person rig.
2. New Weapons would be easier to push to the Operator in general
3. It would simplify the process involved in allowing you to customize the Operator in regards to spending ability points which allow you to pick and choose what abilities they use. Which because we share the same 3P rig we can utilize the CERC unit abilities seamlessly.
4. More resources can be put into the RTS aspects of development since the entire process would be greatly simplified by making this switch.
5. We would also use this new "Operator" in a limited coop mode strictly between Operators in a Horde/Merceries type mode. This would be the first logical step towards full coop implementation
