Don't vote for the last one, unless you are agent, then you are telling the truth.  Haha jk.

I think this is a really basic feature that for some reason was left out of CT MP, but was in CT SP.  Frvge said this: "Not planned, but we'll see".  Well frvge, this is to show you and the devs if it is in fact worth implementing. 

For me, there were plenty situations where not being able to swap my firing shoulder was really annoying.  If I want to peek out of a corner with my gun pulled but I have to expose my body before my gun, it gets pretty damn lame. 

Why not?  I don't think it would take that much work, and it's just 1 minor thing that could improve upon CT's basic principle.

Discuss.  Now.

I don't see why really? I agree you should be able to change firing shoulder. It actually comes in very handy in SP.

It adds  unneaded strategy/complexity to the game.

A neat idea. That would be pretty useful, especially when you want to shoot out of a corner, without exposing yourself and moving out of a shadow or into someplace with a lighter background. I used this a lot in Chaos Theory's singleplayer, and I guess it would fit into a multiplayer game nicely, as well.

By the way, hello everyone! I've been a spectator of this forum for a long while, ever since it was created, though after I forgot my password, I couldn't get it back, so I stopped writing. Until now.

Hello.  I recognize your name.  Are you from the Ubi forums? 

The leaning idea is cool.  Not really needed, but I like it.

@Blankman:  It is NOT unneeded complexity.  1 button while in ss mode that makes it much easier, rather than more complicated, to aim.  Why?  There have been plenty of times where I want to fire something at a certain spot, or around a corner, but I couldn't because of the way my body was positioned and the way my gun was positioned.  I'm sure it's happened to you too, Blank.  Ever want to come around a corner with your gun pulled out in case of mercs nearby?  Well, on some corners you'd have to expose your body before your gun.  Therefore you could be shot before you could shoot them.  It got annoying.  All those minor inconveniences could be fixed with a tiny animation and 1 button while in firing mode.

Unneeded STRATEGY?  Your babbling just for the sake of having an argument.

how about just dealing with a little less mobility / less cover on one side?

Don't need anything complicated, the simple solution is switching shoulders, like it has been said already this feature is very useful in SP, and it would also be so in MP.

lol...WHAT!?

Pressing a button to change the firing shoulder REALLY makes it complex. I mean, how many will get confused with the gun moving from the right to the left!

Yar, Ubi and SCLamers. I was a member of the DoD clan before, but I left due to not playing CT any more. I'm really looking forward to this mod and wish the developers the best of luck with it :)

I'd love to have the ability to switch shoulders, or even to lean, if the animations aren't too tricky to do. I think it's definitely worth it. It could also help to take out some of those hidden mines too.
