The reason why they won't work is the fact RO is just a game. Sure you could make over-exaggerated forceful suppression effects and it might do the trick, but I can imagine the complaints of that. Besides, I find it very dangerous to be fired with virtual bullet as my virtual character stands in the line of fire.
You obviously never played Infiltration, no, we dont fear for our life and limbs, we are sitting behind a screen, but the game can promote caution, and one sure fire way to do that is make sure that if you do something dumb and rash, you die.
Sticking your head out when an MG-42 or PPSH has his sights trained on your position should definately qualify as both dumb and rash, and you should die, but more often than not, you dont, you kill him because he can't hit you (if you have a rifle that is).
Well I reguest a feature that soldiers should be able to use their bayonet without attaching it to a weapon. Too much asked for melee combat - I presume. Same as people have been requesting shovels, even thought they are quite unpractical just to grab from the cover and swing it.
I woulden't mind either of the two, i'd support that beeing put in, though i probably would not use it very much.
But that has nothing to do with what i said, adding select fire to the PPSH is a simple matter of tweaking the RapidFire superclass, so it has the semi code the NormlaFire superclass has, you are talking about implimenting a whole new weapon that needs to be modelled and animated, and then coded.
Stick to the subject.
What's SMG eh? You mean those automatic weapons people complain being that n00bish all the time? I have.
I have not heard anyone, save n00bs, call the PPSh a "n00b weapon" for a very long time now.. it feels allmost nostalgic, like back in the mod days.
Wake up mate, thouse things have a cone-fire that rivals the LMG's at their worst, and a violent random side to side recoil that you cannot predict, and even a micro burst will have you looking at the skybox textures, do you really think an SMG is supposed to work like that? is it even "fun" to play with? is it "fun" to miss that rifleman standing a mere 30 meters away by a mile only to have him calmly raise his gun and put a bullet between your eyes?
I've gotten pretty good with them, simply by training, training and more training, and i can get good kills with them, but man.. it is neither realistic nor fun, its hard annoying work! and no matter how much you practice, its still a toss of the die as the recoil is random, and its only possible under optimal conditions (full stamina, crouched or prone).
Maybe, but personally I haven't seen anyone doing that. I guess I am just out of luck.
Its rare and getting rarer, simple because the STG is actually good on Auto, a bit excessive perhabs, but good.
Care to explain how? Sure one well placed bullet is beter than bad timed burst, but care to explain what prevents single shot firing currently?
Quite simply, at more than point blank range, you are unlikely to hit with more than one shot with a burst from the PPSH, simply because it jumps so violently and eradically, with Semi, i could hit many times with that one usefull shot much faster than several wastefull bursts.
What prevents single shots now? lay down that MP-40 mate and strap on a PPSH, with that ROF its just not going to happen, not in any usefull way at any event.
What is up with the fact that people often are always for "realism and details" when it comes to nitpicking, but something very simple which relates with it is farby then? Like using your bayonet as a melee weapon.
Again with the knife.. stick to the subject, and try quoting me in full the next time aswell.
So far I have only encountered that when I have been out of breath ingame (aka 100% out of stamina), but I guess I have been lucky with that.
Come on, even PPSh41 recoil is barely nonexistant if you are not fatiqued at all ingame.
Non existant? i am inclined to think thats either Fanboi'ism talking, or you have never used the thing more than one quick try in a botmatch.
Go look at the code, the SDK is right there in Steam, have a look at what it actually says.. non-existant my arse.
