Default Dirt/Dust kicking up from bullet impacts.

Currently when you hit something you don't see a small "smoke cloud" coming up made up from dirt, debris and dust. It would be nice if this effect could be implemented in game.

And perhaps with all forms of smoke/dust screens, coughing and dust in your eyes when being inside it.

In this video for example you can see the effect of bullets hitting soft soil.

I am 100% for this.

but I thought some sort of smokecloud is already when shooting on walls?

Btw, this vid is also a good reference how "looking over barrel of MG while firing" should look like.
(there should be 2 modes, firing Ironsight, and a none ironsight mode - like in the source mod INSURGENCY)

There is a smoke puff when you hit something. But its not similar or comparable to the dust clouds represented in the video. The puff seems more of an indication to see where you hit an object.

The same should count for grenades. artillery shells yet kick up dirt.
Also snow should be kicked up by explosions and shots.

I would like to hear a sound of falling objects after explosion.
If there are metal object near me and explosion, I should hear metallic sound.

More dust being kicked up would be nice.

Just make it more of the "uneven puff" rather than the "straight up spray of dirt" (like Crysis and many other games).

Only problem is performance, but, might as well put it in.

That guy has nice videos, especially this one.

YouTube - Facing the German MG-42 Machine Gun!

America, **** yeah. Tip: put it in fullscreen and turn up the volume.

More dust kicked up and louder bullet impact sounds (not too loud of course) would definitely add to the experience. That would actually be a pretty effective way of adding suppression to the game without taking away control from the player.

Perhaps it could be nice if sand and dust could get into your eyes.

Smoke from barrel heat, and better impact effects?

Sounds good to me.
