Adding interesting non-functional interactions would improve variety and meaning of the experience. Soldier symbolism siphoning and cultured caricature ceremonies. For example:
- Performing cute dances. Instead of passively waiting for helicopter or rummaging construction, you could just have some funny dance to improve morale. Like this: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/watch-ukrainian-soldier-performs-pikachu-dance-on-battlefield-amidst-explosions-and-gunfire-3590599
- After performing intense 9 frags killstreak one might stop for brief admiration of Misato Katsuragi or whatever you put into your helmet for morale. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Misato/comments/1kb684y/i_have_to_keep_on_going_for_her/ (First image).
- Detached rituals that add aesthetic flavour to combat. Signature HAB Hunter pulse check serves both as theatrical performance and as rest/stamina management before firing rocket very precisely. Inspired by Assassins' Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer Plague Doctor taunt. (Second image example).
- Collective interactions like Curling using AT mines for immersive entertainment. It would work as substitute of conga taunts of Team Fortress 2 and similar tomfoolery while fully maintaining strict realism and military authenticity. This: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lnipuKqm0Vg
- Maybe more cultural reference based on factions? Like different prayers, iconic gestures.
- Weird 200 iq moves to do mild psy ops on enemy. That one is Geneva regulated, but maybe something fun, fair and weird can be snuck up without violations. Like nobody wants to kill a person standing in a very weird position?
All actions should be realistically performed without cartoonish exaggeration. It would add emotional depth and unexpected interactions.
When to add this? Would be nice after basic features are done, like alongside weapon customization or after it.
