<div class="IPBDescription">Eh?</div>Well? If not, then it shouldn't be incredibly hard to impliment. At least, not for the model. I know nothing about skinning, but I think this would be nice for immersion.

    Another question, do any of the models have that shine/reflect effect on them?

    An unfortunate side effect of the shine effec is that it kills all skinning, so I doubt it.

    No, model's mouths don't move. Have you ever played CS and really noticed people's mouths moving? I personally don't think its worth it. People are always runnign about, jumping, shooting, turning, etc - they need to stand still for you to actually see it.

    As for the chrome effect...I don't think any models do use it, no. Well, aside from the ones I made. There's a chrome effect on the health, and on the chairs in Hera.

    It was badass in Frontline Force. Although the action is so fast its not like you'll ever get a chance to see them mouth in combat. But for a game like NS where youll be working in close proximity to other players and using more strategy, it would be better fitted. A nice touch  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    How much do you think that will actually increase the file size? I mean, really? It is not going to add more than 1 second to someone downloading off a 56k. And I see people talking in counterstrike all the time, almost everyt time I play, and I get a kick out of it. But maybe its just me.

    Yep, whenever they are facing me and use the mic.  You are right - for a mod that is not released it is not worth it to have player models mouths move when they transmit.  However - with CS the dev's have a game that is done, and are just looking for things to do.  Its a really nice feature for a game/mod that is finished, but I see no need for it in Beta 1

    I agree with steve, theres really no need for it right now. However, im not against it, and i wouldnt mind seeing it implemented in the future.

    These gimmicks are a waste of time and memory; but if there's really going to be a time when we all have nothing better to do than staring at pixel mouths... *shrug*

    I don't know moving mouths might be pretty cool. Like if your teammate is talking to you while you are walking you can look over at him and it would seem more realistic. Or if a huge alien starts running towards you and a friend you can look at each other and say "Oh ####" and that would just be funny. But I agree that little details like that aren't worth delaying the release anymore that it has to be.

    What would be awesome is if when marines in heavy armor talked the blue eye slots lit up brighter.

    Lol, it's hillarious when someone plays a song through their mic, and you can see their mouths move... strangely <!--emo&:0--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'><!--endemo-->
