What's up with the ladder climbing? Why is there no climbing animation?
We made a conscious choice not to have one. We have a rule here that gameplay comes first. In our gameplay, being able to look and shoot freely in any direction while on a ladder is very important. We did a lot of research, looking for ways we could have this kind of gameplay and still make ladder climbing look good. The end result: nothing that looked good allowed the kind of gameplay we needed. The options: leave the ladder animations as is, or remove all the ladders in the game and replace them with elevators or similar. We left them as is.
