Missing Animations?

<div class="IPBDescription">intended or not?</div> There was always something "wrong" about this game, something that just didn't feel right, and I finally figured out what it is. Half the animations are missing, mostly alien jump/attack/death animations. It just doesn't feel right when three skulks are just standing around a marine res tower while the health goes down, or when a lerk dies and just sits there perfectly still. This definately detracts from the game.
So, I started browsing models using HLMV and actually saw some animations that I've never seen before (namely the beautiful onos attack animation), and I was wondering... why aren't these in the game? WHEN are they going to be in the game? Is there a reason why a lot of the animations are incomplete? That's all <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I agree... that onos attack where he throws his head to the side was brilliant in HLMV, but sadly in-game all we see are aliens butting heads with marines... I believe there were a few others i noticed... umm skulk bite?

    maybe it'll be address in 1.1

    or maybe it's showing it's a lag issue of something, using the full animations surly would add some lag, that's why it's on there. people don't wanna play a laggy game so NS team cut the aminations out to get people playing...erm..i dunno what i'm on about

    I can see that. Every animation the server doesn't have to think about is one less weight on its back... I figure things like primary alien attacks, since they aren't based on sprite effects like the marine primary attacks, would simply flood the rendering engine or something. Imagine how many times a team of skulks "bites" in a round. A hundred? Three hundred?
