Is there any way we can get the old animation for CS1 (at close range) back? I mean the hand in the air is so.....not right.
For those not in the know. The old animation had your avatar charge forward like a linebacker with the gun held low and close to the abdomen. The you charged forward and fired the shot. That was at close range at least.
Like I said not game breaking but still annoying.

I get the same animation of hand over head charging forward. It seems to happen all of the time. Would like the old one back...

Yea... a nicer animation for ChargeShot would be nice, the current one is rather ridiculous. (Expecially when you kill a target with ChargeShot at melee range, dancing around the corpse with the hand in the air... good for a laugh the first time, but rather ridiculous when repeated...)
Anyways, in the CU announcements it was said that specials will be easier to be recognized, so they will probably all get new animations... so there is hope.

I think "ChargeShot" does just that, though. You charge towards your opponent in a semi-kamikaze way, and your sheer suicidal hands-in-the-air omg-I'm-comin-for-ya scares the enemy into falling down or cowering away from you.
I kinda like it. It's a Carbineer-only thing, too. When people see you waving your hands at them, they know you've got style.

I have been around a LONG TIME (note registered date to your left) and this ChargeShot animation has been with us a VERY LONG TIME......I didn't have it early in the game, but have had it for over 15 months and it hasn't changed one bit.
So I am still confused on this whole idea of getting the "old" animation back.

Agreed. I have not noticed anything different.
Sure the animation is a little quirky, but it's definitely ours, and I don't wantto see itgo away.

LOL. I know you have been around a while Ibeas. I started down the path to carbineer when this game launched. Yea it took me a few months to find the forums. I mastered carbineer about the same time I found out what the forums were lol. Was rough without buffs...../shudder.
There used to be two animations for charge shot. One was for 30m and less. It was the animation I described. The other one was used at ranges of 31-64m and is the one currently in use. They removed the one for close range and left us with the "ballerina" pose.
While the current one would be nice if you actually had people behind you. It just doesn't feel right, if you will, when your target is right on you. The old close range animation is the only reason I roamed around in third person view. I used to time it (10-15m) to where my hand would actually touch the person before he would hit the ground (back when CS1 was bugged). They took that animation away and I have been running around in first person view ever since.
Was wondering if there was a snowballs chance in hades (can't cuss now can we) if they would bring that old animation back.

Eh.. having style.. being gimped.. it's all the same thing.. lol
It actually looks pretty ridiculous when you're queuing up ChargeShot 5 times in a row on a defense stacker and all 5 times you miss.. and then you get a tell from a teammate a bit like: "wth u doin?". Yeah.. it's happened to me a few times.
But dammit I'd rather die before I let you all pry my precious ChargeShot animation from my hands!
