Left handed soldiers

[red.murder1]

In pr the one thing I find really unrealistic is how every soldier is right handed,I know most people are right handed but I'm sure there are a couple lefties in a battle like this,and now that you hav an animator it should be relatively easy to do and would make it a whole lot better experience

[ostupidman]

lol. red murder if it's so easy to do...why don't you get to it? While it is realistic to have lefthanded soldiers, I see this as WAY down on the list of priorities. You would get no real gameplay advantage, plus then they would have to have indiviual models for the 1st person and for the model other player see...otherwise they would see you as right handed still.

I think its alot more harder then just switching the position of the gun.

for instance: If you fire the L85A1 left handed then be prepared to get a scarred face. Sorry but, this requires alot of work and wouden't change much anyway.

BF2 engine only supports one animation per gun.

Besides, try to shoot an L85 left-handed

I think you're scraping the bottom of the barrel for suggestions lol

Lets get the next version of PR out faster by assuming the world is right handed/ambidextrous k?

[Tirak]

This suggestion goes over in the pile along with "Female Soldier Models" and "Remove Defib Model From Medic 'Cause He Uses Pen Of Life"

I'm a left hander when it comes to shooting weapons, it's really weird to handle guns meant for righty.

As someone said, why dont we add female soldiers first? Plus, that would mean that a cetrain class, like, Rifleman Scoped is always left-handed and Rifleman Ironsights always right-handed, medic is female, Officer is in the army gulf club, engineer uses double mags, light AT has a smilie on the scope and the MEC crewman cant handle the recoil of the G3, while the brit Marksman wears lipstick, the brit spec ops is afraid of helmets and... oh wait, those are in already (No offence to anyone! Just pointing out that there are lots of different people, and for a game like this you just have to put the "usual" soldier in.)

Sorry but I really don't think that this is really needed.
I'm left handed myself... but I still shoot right handed...
If i even pick up a rifle with my left hand it makes me feel sick and wrong

Everyone in British Army and Cadets are trained to shoot right handed, and i think thats how it should be.

Even if i shot left handed i really would prefere that something more important would be done first

You know, just to be different, PR should make the SAW gunner a girl

[Garmax]

shooting you still should always. and most do shoot with their right.

actully many guns. including the famous M14 kinda curve left a little and are never really straight 100% and shooting it with your left makes for an uncomfterbal inaccurate shot..

I'm a left hander yet I had to animate all the weapons right handed. Life's a ***** eh?

I'd quit if I were you mate, or unionize so you can atleast go on strike.
That's what they do in Hollywood

[Lorfah]

And for those of of you not able to recon, that was irony ;P

[Bob_Marley]

Cosmetic change, adds nothing to gameplay. And then we have the issue of the L85/L86 and the QBZ-95/QBB-95/QBU-88.

But it does allow me to point out that in at least one way Quake 2 was more realistic than PR. (you could select to have the weapon right handed, left handed or centered in classic FPS style)
