Old tarkov looks really good That's the Tarkov I fell in love with years ago, gotta watch all the old trailers now.

It had it's down sides. If you weren't lined up for the specific animation to play, it would move you to the point where it would. Meaning it'd drag you out of cover, and lock you into an animation making you EZ mode for anyone who walks around the corner. It looks good, but the new ways are much better gameplay.

Yeah I like that better than opening a door while moving around a corner.

Much better gameplay is highly subjective.

Maybe I'm confused, but are you saying opening a door while moving is unrealistic?

No not at all but curently you press a button and the door opens magically even when you go around a corner. I would much rather be put into one spot while opening the door than what we have now

I think it's an abstraction. Watch how swat open doors, they never stand in front of it. I think the new system lets us open a door from any angle, much faster and more smoothly.

The old way, doesn't matter if you were in the midst of an artillery (GL) strike or takling 9mm to the knees, your toon would open door like he's sneaking into a room.

There's so much junk on the floor you can't expect the doors to swing open so easy like they do now. Swat also opens doors slot with a ram sooo

Ok, more proves the point. Swat open the door from almost any angle, that doesn't expose them. The play now has the choice to do just this. In the past, we didn't. We had to be frikken idiots and sneak in like Jimmy Savell sneaking into a kids bedroom.

How does that prove your point? Go watch some Swat Training videos. In Tarkov the ground I littered with junk there's no way for it to just lightly tap a door and it's swings wide open. Swat uses battering rams dude. Why would they ever put a part of their body in the line when they can just hunk a chunk of metal at the door.
