Am I the only one experiencing this? I have trouble shooting and aiming continuously at a target because of too much smoke coming out of my Scarab. I cannot see the ironsight anymore after I've emptied 1/3 of my mag. Will a reflex sight resolve this? I made a mistake of choosing the laser sight. BTW, is the laser visible to the enemy?

laser is visible just lvl up a bit and then replace your scope to another one

dude... i made a post about this a while back...

the ammount of "smoke" ahemm muzzle flash is frigging ridiciolous! Especially when using the silencer!!!!

THIS IS RETARDED!

And reflex wont solve this its even worse then

Do you have some screenshots?

If you played with Scarab, you know it's true. Just don't be lazy and find some video or screenshot on your own. Don't be lazy retard.

you are full of hate, why ?

I play with the scarab a lot, I unlocked 5 attachments ( or maybe more ), but I never had any problems with the muzzle fire.

It wasn't hate post. It's just so obvious when someone says, that something is wrong with Crysis 2, he tells the truth. I don't know lets say: there are more than 30+ bugs in 3. level, you can bet your ass i can find even more of them.
If this one is working for you, good for you (lucky bastard !

Don't worry I'll get you a screenshot so you could see for yourself, and maybe, just maybe, you can advise us on what you're doing different and you're not experiencing any problem.

Is there a console command to lessen or completely disable the muzzle smoke?

its all ur fault. Clearly Crysis 2 was meant to be played with feline

I have completed every assessment for the Scarab. It's the price you pay for the strongest gun in the game. If you aim consistently on the target with a scarab, you cannot lose a firefight, ever. This hardly hinders you anyway. Just focus on where you're aiming instead of focusing on stupid ****.

You're good at aiming blindly at the right place then. I can't even see the guy I'm shooting because of all the smoke.

Strongest gun in the game? That would be the SCAR which is statistically superior.

can anyone test this right now in the console? If this works, i'll be a happy shooter!

i_particleeffects [0,1] - If set to 0, disables weapon-specific particle effects, which includes the muzzle flash and heat distortion around the barrel of guns for example. This can improve performance when firing a weapon at the cost of some realism.

this...KINDA bugs me, but, it's only a problem at range, and, at range, the SCARAB is better if you sort of burst fire with it. Another good way to get around this, at long range, is to quicky hit B, mark your target, and then open fire...you can see the marker through the muzzle flash.
