Hip-Fire and Point Fire Enhance

Post » Thu Dec 31, 2009 2:42 am

Hey,

Could people give my their opinions on the usefulness of hip-firing and thus the usefulness of Point-Fire Enhance power module?

I never hip-fire and usually always lose close engagements as the melee system is awful imo and it comes down to how lucks out and spams RS RS RS!

Is it a skill worth learning and would it be easy to rank up the aforementioned module for XP?

I've tried it a lot with the subs and the M60 and it didn't seem to make any difference to hip-fire accuracy/effectiveness whatsoever. As it it now, it's a useless module which needs a decent buff before it's even worth considering usage.

The hip fire cross hairs only show to be smaller AFTER you fire a shot, not before.

To answer your question, no its not worth using/getting good at...why? Because melee is better, and the best way to get better at CQC is to avoid it at all, from my experience anyways

Using it to rank from XP is the only reason I use it, since there are negative body multipliers in this game, hip firing just adds randomness to your killtime

Standing still to shrink your crosshairs and hipfiring them when they try to melee you is a viable option, hipfire enhancement is not necessary for that
