Weapon firing makes aiming harder - is this a bug?

[chancx]

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not clearly but its a disadvantage and create a direct effect on the quality of this game .the problem is when ever I shoot My avatar start to move backwards.this will happen as long as i keep shooting.this happens to every weapon except for the knife.I have seen some similar threads to this thread as well

That's intentional. It's called "recoil" and it's something that you have to learn to compensate for. Otherwise weapons would be a little too easy to master.

You might actually call that kickback. Recoil causes the gun to tilt upward when it is fired, kickback pushes the player backward.

Oh ignore me

[Gibstick]

It's an important part of gameplay, no matter what others tell you. For example, the kickback on the AR lets you move very fast in comparison with normal straferunning.

Also, chancx, please don't post a thread asking if something is a bug here AND post a bug report on Sourceforge. Thanks.

kickback's a great way of defendin yourself

Kickback & recoil or recoil & muzzle climb?

You played too much realistic fpses. In real world only mighty sawed-off-double-barreled-one-shot-protein-salad-making-from-flesh shotgun can kick your arm enough to make you make one step backward.

Very true, for example: I don't know any gun on COD or MOH that makes you move backwards (kickback), but as far as recoil goes, that's a whole other story. In summary: Keep things the way they are. If you don't like kickback, then go play Call of Duty.

Yeah it's a feature not a bug, but I agree some of it is kind of silly. Like the pistol actually moves me back. Seriously? Have the game devs ever fired a handgun before? And these don't sound like no Magnum .44s. I don't have any experience with rifles but I also question the kickback of the SMG and Carbine. And I didn't even lean back when I fired a Mossberg 500. What are you putting in those shells anyway? :P

There's a reason why it's "realistic environments" and "arcade gameplay" in that introduction text. ;)
