Ballistics for fireteam weapons

#1

As predator weapons obeys physics and are not instantly at target, why fireteam bullets are at target instantly and doesn’t obey gravity?

True. Fireteam has too many advantages and easy weapon mechanics are one of them.

All ft weapons are hitscan, contrariwise all pred weapons are projectile. I think it’s fine with that (except for sniper that for long range should be projectile) but they need to buff the arrow max charged speed a little bit more because it is so dodgeable by just moving side to side. Combi stick throw is fine because it deals a lot of damage and it is reasonable that a spear cant be throw too much fast you know.

Bullets shouldnt still Be instantly at target

Yo I didnt even think about that. If they can stabilize the game, like the frames, then guns being projectiles might help out a lot in balancing, instead of hit scan.

Repeat basic school physics course before says like this.
ps: and some weapon ballistics basics. There is no sim but fits fine.

Tell me sitten something about physics

#8

been saying it for ages but then PS4 scrubs will be even worse at aiming…

I think only for snipers but make hitscan weapons more damage falloff so at range they do less damage.

I think bow is fine in current state. Any more buffs to it and ill be killing fts even faster

Good Fire team will dodge very easly by moving side to side. The game move speed is such high and if people learn how to exploit that it will become harder and harder.

Oh, i was expecting PS4.

I agree they can sidestep the shots quite easy but at the same time i think they should be able to avoid them. they do a hell of a lot of damage.

They only dodge a lot once they have been hit. I usually start with shots when they are mudding, interacting with objectives, reviving, using med packs etc is the best time.

Once u shot 1 arrow at a player they will know more are probably coming. so i usually switch straight to the plasma after the first 1 or 2.

I feel the bows power and speed is not so bad right now. The only issue i have with it and the other projectiles is they dont always go where the crosshair is pointing…

Bow has a lot of bug, more than caster. About now I have no problem with bow because I’m using it from day one and never switched. But talking in general (considered how hard is pred and how easy is ft) I think a little bit more speed at least for the max charge can be usefull for avarage (specially ps4) players. Very few ft move side to side well, if they master it , it will become so much harder.

True!

So you all want a full charge to be intant… id say leave bow alone… add spear gun in new dlc and an extra weapon slot. Spear gun switches predator to first person when zoomed in… does this help?

I personally think if they took trails off the bow it would help a lot
