Hi guys !

I'm writing these few words because I'm getting really disgusted by the ppl who do a little trick. You know, when their player does a 180° spin left and right very fast all the time. I know it's not a "cheat" in the sense that they use no bot. Still... It's not very fair-play for the other players, because no matter what you do, it's nearly impossible to aim at them.

Believe me, I'm not complaining for free. I admit when ppl are stronger than me and that I got beaten because they have skills. But here, it's not skill, it's just a "trick" and it's ruining all the gameplay...  :(

Does any1 knows if Raven or EvenBalance plans to do something about that ? Ty.

Zak.

they are not spinning 180 or even 360  it just looks that way
they are strafing left to right  (very easy to do)  and there model only looks like it is spinning around really fast.

Thanks for reply Digitel... but IMO, my thought about it doesn't change : it's a trick, it gives an enormous (and abnormal) advantage and it's not fair for others. What if every1 does that movement ? What will SoF2 look like ? Will there still be gameplay when aiming will be impossible ?  :;):

Have fun !  :)

Zak.

Actually, if what I'm thinking of is true, then yes, it would actually make you THAT thin.

Hmmm, better check that.

Does effect the player's default hitbox, though?
I know gore is modeled per-pixel, but damage is based on a generic set of hitboxes, right?

good tactic...if u don't do this in rmg ur mince meat...nuff said

but i'm bored so i'll carry on :P

'getting it on like michael flatly' makes it very hard to hit ppl with bullets...but guess what...it also makes it significantly harder for mr flatly to aim.

firing full auto is an option but ur gonna get thru all ya ammo b4 ur halfway there.

nades / 203 werks better but the reel trick is to aim at where they aren't in 1-2 shot burst, most ppl have dodge patterns...i know i do, stay cool and get the feel of it. and obviously u wanna be diving all over the place as well or u won't last long :s8:

^ thats prob only applicable to rmg but then thatz all i'm intrested in  :p

Zak, you have to realise it's not a trick, it's nothing, it's just a glitch in the way the player models are displaying.

You're doing that same 'spinning trick' too, if someone is speccing you in 3rd person they will see this too.  It just happens when the player model goes from the end of a strafe left into a strafe right, and vice versa

A steady trigger hand does the trick... just aim at their head boom 2 shots.

This game has turned into a bunch of "JUMPING FAIRIES" with shotguns anyway!  What idiot decided that while jumping through the air, or on a full dead run, you could still aim like an olympic class skeet shooter????

The graphics have GREAT realism in this game, but most of the other features are GROSSLY inaccurate!

And one more thing..  all the people who yell at you, or kick you for "camping," in real life you peeps, would you run straight into the HEAT of gunfire???  Or would you hide behind something and try to get your enemy first, and live to see tomorrow??  This game needs a setting to limit the amount of respawns!!

Thanks for letting me vent.  If you disagree, then so be it.  No matter what you reply, it won't change my opinion.     :p
