Over five people used to comment here. Now it's a ghost town.

Hold on a sec.

You have to take the Coreolis effect into account.

Good shot, you blew off his arm. He should die from blood loss.

Yeah, diving would be cool, except that people would spam it. You can do something similar by sprinting, jumping, and holding B in midair, but your guy still appears to be standing to everyone else until he hits the ground. I think it would be better to implement a slide mechanic, where you just press B while sprinting and you slide a few feet in a crouched position like in Far Cry 2. As long as you couldn't shoot while sliding, it would fit in quite nicely.
