I was watching Container City Part 1 with Paul Wedgewood. I have to say, he likes to hip fire a lot. So I was wondering, do you guys think most of the guns will have a lot of recoil while hip firing? :gun:

the more recent vids show that hip fire is viable at close to mid range depending on weapon. ADS is still better at mid to long range of course.

As far as I remember they said multiple times that they want to have some focus on hip firing (IE not make it completely useless) so people won't have to iron sight all the time,being in iron sight mode kind of goes against BRINK's gameplay and how you traverse the environment.

This. Better hip-fire allows for a more run-and-gun style of play.

Personally, I've always found hip-firing and run and gunning more fun, if less effective, than ADS. It'll make you feel like a badass when you run down a hallway towards somebody, and slide under their bullets while firing from the hip and killing them..


Hip firing may not be overly realistic, but who cares? This is meant to be FUN.
