questions about game features

Post » Tue Feb 09, 2010 6:46 am

hi, sorry to bother you but i have been watching the videos about the gameplay and have a few questions:

1. is there any recoil on the guns? it seems to be that there is none...
2. Will that blue ring pop up on teammates every time your near them? it would really annoy me during the game.

if you know the answers that would be great.. thanks

SD is doing their best to balance spraying and aiming, the want both to be viable strategies. Spraying at the hip will also be more random than spraying with the iron sights, which is mostly what you see in the video.

The blue ring is somewhat important, as you want to know who you are buffing or healing in the middle of combat, so they intentionally made it attract your attention a bit.

There is almost no recoil, because SD wants the game to be fast paced. You have to hit 6-7 times (In general, not taking body types or buffs in account). If you have huge recoil with this system, it would be next to impossible to kill someone.

As stated before, they don't want people standing on opposite sides of the map taking potshots at each other, they want the two forces to be intimate with each other before the kill each other.

We have only seen console-gameplay so far (sometimes played on PCs with Gamepads, probably, but definately with aim-assist). I guess there will be proper recoil in the PC version.

I think the recoil will be the same over consoles and the PC. I just don't know why they would rework the same thing twice, right?

Indeed, the recoil will be the same, but on consoles in won't be as noticeable because you have aim assist if it's turned on.

I hope Aim Assist is off by default personally.
