In Response To: Bulletin (Louis Wu)


All the talk of clips and bullets got my pedantic rage going, and let's not even talk about the "hard light".
The incineration cannon still seems like a cool weapon, but the arc on it looks really, really steep. That's nice if you're trying to hit someone in behind something, but it looks like it'll really limit the range and make it that much harder to aim accurately (I think I'll be OK with it after a few minutes, but not everyone will). Also it sounds like for the sound of the rounds exploding they just got some guy to go "booooshhh" into a microphone. Seriously it sounds like a mouth-made sound effect. Yes, I said the Mouth Sounds skull would've been awesome, but that would've been a whole set of sounds, and clearly a jokey thing, while this seems like it's trying to be serious.

RC Master:

: It has a really obvious tell when zooming (like the Splaser), it's super
: inaccurate when fired "from the hip" and it has substantial
: recoil between shots (with only two in the chamber at a time) so it
: actually takes some skill to score a kill against anyone decent. The tell
: makes it straightforward to avoid in most combat situations.

: Have you ever heard of a 'quick-scope' kill? Because that basically
: nullifies all of the draw-backs.

thank you

NotTheVacuum:

: Have you ever heard of a 'quick-scope' kill? Because that basically nullifies
: all of the draw-backs.

: We'll have to see; quick-scopes aren't trivially easy, and they may very well
: slow down the scoping animation on this rifle to balance that.

Quick-scopes are pretty easy, especially when you're just zooming in on a player and not a particular area, and it didn't look like they slowed down the processing zooming in, and slowing it down like that sounds like a dumb idea.

"We also started experimenting with adding more grounded elements to the weapons so that there was a unique juxtaposition of "super sci-fi futuristic" with components that were relatable to modern day weaponry. In the case of the Scattershot, that included trying out a hinge-action reloading animation and using more traditional individual cartridges that mimic how a traditional shotgun works."

but that's stupid; why should these weapons have any juxtaposition, especially in their function?

You cannot fall off the floor.
