I think a burst fire script would be frowned upon by devs and the like. Its been discussed before.
Just do it on your mouse without a script.

I've been analyzing the aG Cup's demos and the highest automatic-weapon accuracy I've found so far is 36% with akimbo by Undead. In general, there are few of us above the 30% mark. It's quite obvious, if the highest accuracy a player gets with a low-spread weapon such as akimbo is just 36%, that spread is a very limiting factor. AC is meant to be a fast-paced run-and-gun game, which it is, so in most situations burst-firing is less effective than simply holding mouse1.
I also find it hard to imagine players complaining about their bullets that should hit actually hitting. I want AC to feel responsive. People don't mind being bettered if it feels logical; it's random results that don't correlate well with how the players aimed that make people angry.

The smg has no spread what so ever.The devs should change that since i read somewhere on this forum,that they gonna beef up the damage for it.

P.s i always thought it had no spread b/c when the ar spreads it gets the cross hair gets bigger. ( I know imma noob.)

Personally, I think that lowering the spread would be a good idea. In effect however, I think the recoil would need to go up. That way, game play would be more realistic for automatic weapons in the sense that your bullets would hit where you aim but "burst firing" would be used more to control the recoil.

And the non full autos would need huge boosts.

Carbine firedelay down to 0.5s from 0.72s making it able to kill in the same minimum time as ARs or SMGs. Alternavitely, upping carbine damage to 75 would make it able to kill 100-hp, 100-armour players in the same time as the AR. Dropping sniper firedelay from 1.5s to around 1s and lowering no-scope spread a bit too would balance it nicely. I've spoken to a top sniper in the game and we agreed sniper was too weak, but also that it can't really get the sniper-pistol combo without becoming overpowered. Instead we felt that AC needs to change sniper significantly because currently tweaking the values a little won't balance the game for everyone.

Ok for the Carabine delay, not the damage, or the sniper will be owned by Carabine too...
The sniper is perfect, the delay is perfect, the damage need 1 more HP on the SVN to be ok, looks like the dev who changed the sniper on the SVN don't know this weapon well... 1 sniper bullet + 1 pistol bullet, WHO COMPLAINED THIS? NOBODY! AR to 15 bullets only, now killing 2 players without reloading will need skill, the AR jump/rush will be more tactical. (already done, don't change it plzzz!) SMG with less hit-drops will be far better in pubs, (and it's already far better on no-hit drops servers), i dont know if the spread should be reduced, the SMG is for mid/close range, the spread make it harder at long distances, and it's normal (yes normal). The shotgun...lol play Cube. The shotgun should be useless at far/mid distances, only advantaged in little ways/corridors/doors. It must be a bit tactical, cause the shotgun ATM it's like, i run and i shot.

Sniper+pistol combo kills in 400ms, quicker than any other weapon even at close range. AR at 15 bullets won't work with current spread because the best players only hit 36% of their bullets on average. If the AR had 100% accuracy I'd be fine with a 15 round clip. Completely useless shotgun at mid-long would be unplayable in clan matches. The reason all the non-automatic weapons suck is because the game is played best with strategies that require the ability to inflict consistent amounts of damage. Faster firing sniper that does less damage gives more consistency without becoming OP. |
