Dust from bullet impact.

Ddoes anyone else think that the dust/dirt/particle spray-clouds from bullets impacting objects is a bit low at times?

Yes. I've shot some of the guns from the game in real life, and if they hit in a dry spot of dirt, the cloud can pretty much obscure the target you're shooting at.

Yeah it'd help the immersion and visuals a bit for bullet impacts to cause more dust/dirt to cloud up. Would also help MG's with their suppression effects.

 

[Heler]

yup for sure.

IRL one could be surprised how small dust impact clouds can be... I will post up a vid of what I mean after work!

Yeah, I'd like to see more dust and particle sprays when the bullet hits things. Dry soil would chuck up more than it does now i think.

 

[Orangutangen]

Yea, would be cool.

It depends greatly on the targets material. A sandbag swallows the bullet without much dust, but a brick wall emits a lot of dust.

Hooray for CoD1 style impact dust! (I

I think DOD:s does it quite well and it looks really good with an MG going off. It was the 1st thing i noticed about the game actually.

 

[Reddog]

Yep DODS does it the best for how the actual effect looks, with a big kick up of dust and then it drifting away. Only problem is that in DODS it happens with everything you hit, including paved road and sandbags.

The actual effect though is extremely nice.

See not all dust impacts create mighty SPR style explosions of debris!

Sure I'd like bigger impacts based on round size (read mg) but nothing OTT!

And LOL to who-ever it was who said DODS dust sprites are good! They SUKK!!!

I'd like them to decrease the dust cloud/smoke dissipation times.

Personally, I'm a fan of F.E.A.R's "tear the room to shreds and watch the smoke settle" style. Makes things /real/ intense.

Watch this video and tell me that no dust flys when you shoot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdzePA3uf5k about 15 seconds into the clip you see them shooting up a car, watch the dust fly, it's crazy. This dust is coming off of grassy ground too, not dirt.

 

[D3terioNation]

Yeh real good example there...

RO isnt too far off that, if you had so many shooters firing so many rounds!

Tbh RO is fine as is without effecting performance for average pc users (see I didnt say low, cos they shouldnt exist!)

 

[Murphy]

How would bigger dustsprites affect performance?

 

[Nimsky]

Dust and smoke has to linger a lot longer too. Just YouTube for Iraq combat footage or something, you'll see that the battlefield is covered up with a lot of dust / smoke.

I don't think it would affect performance that much. I mean, my PC is average at best and still copes pretty well with large smokescreens in RO.

Bigger dust-sprites + mg42 (eg) + your general direction = performace hit

It depends greatly on the targets material. A sandbag swallows the bullet without much dust, but a brick wall emits a lot of dust.

Agreed. Dirt, sandbags, and building siding could use a bit more...but concrete, stone, and other tougher materials not as much.

Agreed...One thing that would ALSO make the MG's a bit more terrifying is if they had more splash effect/dust brush up.
Maybe wood and rock/stone could have a bit more chunky spray...........i guess apposed to creamy spray?
