<div class="IPBDescription">Does bob have to bite or just touch?</div>Well i found nothing about this in the faq and the movie showed him biting so my question is thus. Can Bob just jump around and land on the marine to kill him or must he bite or do his "Leap" attack?

    He wotn ever insta kill or bite. Currently, he must click to bite and the leap attack does no damage (STC) but serves to let the bob lunge mucho far. My current bob configuration for attacking is to lunge, than switch to bite and bite like a crazed weasel in a plastic bag hanging from a helicopter.

    Try complete sentences. They usually work better.

    Another thing.....

    In the other mods where melee combat is primary there is always a slight problem...

    See, we dodge, and we try to hit....  so it get pretty annoying when you're trying to hit.... and since the bob is shorter than the other models.....

    So...  When bob runs around hunting does he have to whirl around like a ferret in a plastic bag to keep up with the smart marine who is dodging him?

    Yes.  But all you need is really one good hit, and that the marines have more problems than you think hitting the sucker.

    I'm confused... Gwahir, were you talking to me? Or were you suggesting that a ferret dangling from a helicopter would be more appropriate?

    Snake's new, give him a break.  Snake, a lot of answers can be found by doing a search in the forums... this one has been discussed a great deal.  The answer is:

    No, it's not realistic; Bob's eyes are outside his mouth.  But in terms of gameplay, the animation is very satisfying, and it *works*.  NS is trying to create "sci-fi realism"... but it's not permanently stuck on being realistic.  And if having Bob's POV inside his mouth makes the game more exciting, immersive, and (most importantly) fun - which it does - then by Flayra, Bob's POV is gonna be in his mouth.  (:

    Another good argument for the "inside the mouth" thing is that there are aliens running around...how realistic is that?  I think people should be questioning aliens before they question the fact that his eyes are inside this mouth...

    The idea of the world being round was once really unrealistic.

    Just saying that you can't really say that aliens are unrealistic, just not likely. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    That helicopter weasel remark made it into funnycrap.doc....

    As if you care...

    Another question for the PT's, and I haven't ever seen it talked about, soooo....

    In some mods, you must be a certain distance from the enemy to use Melee combat, not actually touching them.

    In the PT's experience, does the bite's and such to damage a distance ahead of the player, or only to those they touch?

    Gaaaaaa! Next time, LINK to the post, don't bump it.

    And all damage distances and amounts are STC.
