What was the design decision that . . .

Hi all,

 

While I'm new to the fourms, I'm not new to playing the mod and I've awaited this standalone just as long as anyone.

 

But I wonder about the inability to jump.

 

It has been a few months since I've been on a mod-server but I don't seem to remember not being able to jump.

Just a few minutes ago I was confronted by a guard rail along the road.  Instead of vaulting over it or jumping it

in other games, I had to detour quite a ways just to get past the obstacle.  I've seen cover mechanics, like leaning,

but no vaulting or jumping.  Is this something that will be added later?

 

And I'm also concerned about the current state of the game.  As other have noted, it certainly seems that this standalone

is far inferior to the current Mod state, and considering the time this product took to get to market, one wonders why this

game is in an alpha state at all . . .

 

Please add jumping and/or vaulting to the move-set.

 

Edited for a typo.

V is step over something, same as before. If you hold v while running you can hop fences without breaking stride.

 

In a more general sense, they've had to build everything from the ground up instead of modding an existing game, and they've finally just about gotten back to where the mod was. Which is why I think they released the alpha now, it's decently close to the original experience so most stuff from here moving forward will be viewed as progress and not retreading old ground.

Have you sir ever made a video game? Do you know possibly anything what so ever what it takes to create a game engine? This type of ignorance is just plain sad. Did you ever read what it says on the store page and ever time you open up the game? Its an early alpha, As for jumping it is already in the game. simply start running and press V. or press V to vault. But before complaining that its not a fully functioning game just yet  get some real knowledge or just any sort of clue on anything about videgames.. please..

If you can't jump or vault in the game, how did you play the mod? 

 

It even works sooo much smoother in the game.
