Hey does anyone know what the iranian in this vid is doing?

It doesn't look like the default prone crawling does it? It looks more like he is injured and crawling away. I could be imagining things though.

He seems crawling in his knees for me

Strafe prone, which raises your torso like an arch, then he goes to crouch stance - a default animation from prone presumably.

Both actors have moved around a lot with heavy loadouts in different conditions. I guess I will remind you for the last time (since more explanation could be considered as spam:P) that you simply cannot perform with any equipment due to obstruction/damage risk to the markers. With current technology at least. Its all down to acting skills.

Sorry if I came across as condescending there I was trying to make a bit of a joke I understand the mocap imposes restrictions, inevitably the technology will improve and then you guys can have the actors do everything for real.

I looked into this feature but unfortunately it turned out the difference is very neglible so the new prone stance is somewhere in between those two, plus you can quickly adjust your stance very easily (lower your weapon position >> on-side, from under obstacle shooting << or raise it higher >> on-back above grass level shooting <<) - that should be more than enough.

Well in most cases even raising your eye-level a few cm can make a huge difference in your ability to see and remaining in the classic prone position allows you to remain relatively concealed and drop up and down quickly. Moving into the on-back prone position while staying low in a quick or dignified manner would probably be impossible in all your gear and the position itself has all the drawbacks of prone (hard to move out of, not ready to move) while sacrificing the benefits (concealment). So if at all possible adding the ability to bob-up in the prone like the crouch would be a massive step forward and really make much the prone stance much more viable and realistic.

That being said the animation transitions and the general control response looks massively improved and the ragdoll effects particularly from small arms is very nice (40mm grenades throwing people tens of meters probably needs to be looked at ). Anyway I'm looking forward to the Alpha, thanks for the response and keep up the good work!

I agree with you!

I agree with you!

Might as well add 'bob-up' in standing stance: lean over something, i.e. a wall, bush, vehicle roof, on your toes in order to fire briefly.

@Smookie,
Can we see new crawling anim with rifle in both hands? In ArmA2, we can only do it in one hand even if with a heavy muchinegun, so weird. Hope it could be improved in ArmA3.

On that note, I'd like to see low and high crawling. Low crawling for the slow prone crawl, high crawling for the regular prone crawl. Anyone don't know what I'm talking about? Look it up.

I would like to see all three of these suggestions implemented as well. Also are we going to see new animations for belt fed weapons (hopefully ones that take longer than reloading a rifle?)
