Blind-Firing

[Caspy]

This isn't a huge deal but it piqued my curiosity and I was wondering if anyone had a concrete answer.

While watching some of the preview videos of RO2 I realized that they only showed overhead blind-firing. I was just wondering if this will be the only way to blind-fire or if you you can blind-fire around corners as well.

Again, not a huge issue but I was interested in the answer.

It has been said you can blindfire around corners too IIRC

I've seen in one single-player presentation that you can throw grenades around the corner, I'd say the same goes for guns. BTW if you didnt know, you can blind-fire nades too.

I can confirm this

Would be 1000% epic winsauce if we could melee bind fire from corners.

You can also blind fire to the left and right. They show this in gameplay videos.

Blind fire into short tight hallways is going to be excessively lethal in most cases. I wonder if accuracy is reduced more then just a tad in this case.

I like the danger this preludes though.

How could you tell? It's called BLIND firing for a reason.

You seem to not understand my post at all... I'd like to know the extent of the reduced accuracy under certain conditions, not if it actually reduces accuracy upon execution which we already know.

But yeah, thanks anyway.

I can see some possible ambush situations with this... Awesome!

I think it really IS blind fireing, not the 3rd person Gears of War kind of blind fire.

Maybe not seeing where your shots land will work good enough to balance it out.

I know it is all in first person as well, and I'm not questioning balance.

I'm just saying, in short tight hallways - blind fire will be awesomely devastating.

Moved edit.

Oh yes, I agree, I think it will be.

Pretty damn awesome as well.

On another note: I also think kills by grenade will rise by alot, killing all them wallhuggers.

Yeah I had edited my post touching on that but you beat me to it.

I wrote: For enemy rushers at least, but that's what grenades are for. As a long time RO player this will be one of the more interesting additional features of RO2 with some potentially great close quarter moments.

You can blind fire over cover and to the sides.

 

[AntoxaGray]

Can you blind-stab with bayonet over corner?

Can't tell if trolling...

I'm interested in knowing how much control you have over blind-firing - Can you only shoot with your muzzle parallel to the ground or can you tilt your weapon and shoot upwards/downwards?

You probably have about the same control over the rifle as usual except you won't see anything. Like the rifle is pivoting above/side of you instead of infront. Recoil and weapon sway ought to be higher as you're not holding the gun in the best way (just my speculations).
