Heroes & Generals Discussions

We’ve completed the next weapon animation validation test for Heroes & Generals.

This prototype focuses specifically on the Maschinenpistole 40 (MP40) hip-fire shot animation, including weapon reaction, recoil timing, hand movement, weapon recovery, pacing, synchronization, and overall first-person weapon feel.

What This Test Covers:

Maschinenpistole 40 hip-fire shot animation

Single-shot weapon reaction

Recoil timing

Hand movement and response

Weapon kick and recovery

Return to idle behavior

Overall pacing and first person feel

The side by side comparison uses original H&G reference footage alongside the current prototype animation, aligned for timing and visual comparison.

These animation tests may be shown either directly from animation software or from Unreal Engine, depending on the current stage of testing.

This is not a visual showcase. The weapon, arms, rig, textures, and other presentation elements are placeholders.

The goal is to validate weapon animations for the weapons currently planned for the vertical slice before they are integrated into the full prototype environment.

Result:

The hip-fire shot follows the expected structure and pacing.

Weapon reaction and recoil timing align closely with the original reference.

Hand and weapon movement remain controlled and consistent with the intended H&G feel.

The animation returns clearly toward the hip-fire position after firing.

The Maschinenpistole 40 hip-fire shot animation is considered successfully validated at the prototype stage.
