    Opening Car doors instead of only closing?

    Hey Guys,

    Just a logical query, if the car doors are already open, how come we cant open them fully to use for cover?
    It is a cover based shooter and using the environment to do that would be awesome!

    Also will it rain in Manhattan?

    Regards,

    That is not something we are currently planning on, sorry.

    Also I don't believe it will rain, just snow to varying degrees and fog

    I think this is something they should look into, also opening car doors to check for loot bags inside would be cool, also the trunk of the car like in Dying light etc. It'd make the world feel a little more interact able rather than the assets ( Cars ) just being part of the scenery.

    i agree

    when the game was first revealed I remember seeing a dev diary saying they did a lot of work on different ways to close car doors and in the game I have only seen one animation. That does get repetitive and doesn't seem as real as what was promised. also I think that car doors should be able to be used as cover. so many of them are open and it makes sense to be able to open it all the way to hide. in a game where cover is one of the main mechanics, something like this would go a really long way

    Just saying.
    Done the Morgue mission yet? Lotsa what looks like 3/4 inch plywood providing cover Just sayin I think I would rather see the lights go out when I shoot them for my whole instance than be able to open car doors.

    i mean, in the live action videos opening cars and similar seemed to be a main thing...

    yeah after watching the live action show I definitely thought one of the perks would be removing a door for cover. and even though cars door are thin in real life, this is a cover based shooter and a lot of the cover objects would get shot through in real life. just ask tupac hiding behind a car doesn't mean you wouldn't get shot, just for the purpose of the game it would add some new strategy
