Q: Will the main gunplay be like ET (hitscan tracking weapons) or will there be more of a mix of guntypes, like point and click shotguns or rifles?
A: As for the guns, there’s a mix of gun types, but i’ll admit my ignorance and say i’m not sure what you mean by hitscan. do you mean moddeling the actual existence of bullets? we’re not doing that. there’s a wide variety of guns though, more than in either ET game.

Q: Hitscan means if you aim at the target it hits immediatly. Rocketslaunchers, riflenades, nades are the opposite of hitscan, as they have an inbuilt ‘delay’ while the projectile travels along its path.
A: Ahha! so I guessed correctly! Yup, the majority of the weapons fire that way (instant impact). there are a couple of grenade launchers though (one is shown as part of the demo we’ve been showing).

i enjoy leading my shots. it makes the kills that much more satisfying

I guess at 90% of engagement ranges it won't make a difference really, so hitscan has better performance...

Yes, that's true. Bullets exit at a speed of 200+ meters/second. If you're having firefight with 50 meter distances or less (which is a big part of the game) you'll almost instantly hit anyways.

yah, only on snipe shots across the map would it really make a difference.

But ya know, even a .25 second delay is noticeable against a running target, and 50m isn't all that far.

that's why I ALWAYS prefer bulelt physics.... though it is compounded by lag lol

Hitscan + lag = unintentional bullet physics lol
