Thread: Tips to improve your gameplay

Unzoomed guns in this game fire bullets to random spots, within a preprogrammed circle. One bullet can go 10 degrees left, and the next one will go 15 degrees to the right and 10 degrees up. You never know, it's a game of dice. The focal point is your gun and spreads out like a cone from there. Rifles have a relatively small "cone", while the MG's cone is slightly larger, then Support, then Assault. Shoot at a wall, you will see.

Crouching or laying down has no effect on the randomness, but does affect how much "jump" or recoil your gun has. However, movement affects randomness. Shooting while running gives you a giant cone of fire. For accurate shooting, I suggest stopping movement completely before you fire (unless you're point blank, and even then, you will see a lot of missing).

Due to the randomness of this game, it is better to go full auto with automatics than to shoot in bursts (IF you can control the recoil jumping). This way you have more and faster chances of hitting your target.

Rifles: Unzoomed Rifles are fairly accurate, although they are not pinpoint accurate. To be accurate, make sure you are completely standing still before you fire. At close/medium range, you can go ahead and aim at the chest of the enemy. This will guarantee an upper body/headshot. At medium-long range, place your crosshair on the center of the enemy (stomach). This will ensure the highest chance that at least something will be hit.

For long range rifle usage, you need to use your ironsight. Ironsight shots appear to be pinpoint accurate. The ironsight always aims at the exact same spot where your crosshair was pointed. So point the crosshair at the enemy first, and then activate ironsight. You can just shoot immediately, it will hit exactly where you aimed. This trick can also be used for follow-up ironsight shots.

using your ironsights while you're watching a far off area is a bad idea when the enemy can come from more than 1 direction. since the ironsight will be blocking most of your view.

The "cone" refers to the way a simulated bullet travels from the muzzle of a gun in the Source engine. Imagine a 3D cone extending from the end of your gun and getting wider as it gets longer. When you fire, a bullet is sent out at an angle anywhere inside that cone. This simulates the way a gun wavers in your hand as you aim and jumps around as you shoot.

real bullets that drop over distances would add so much decal lag it would not even be funny. maybe in a couple of years when computers are more powerful.

right now its possible but the bullets that fall to the ground would have to dissapear in a matter of seconds, and that would look pretty unrealistic.

btw heres a performance tip that might work for everyone with an nvidia card:

Ah, Opperation Flashpoint. I loved that game so much. The only other game I have seen with anything like that would be Joint Opperations.

oh, trajectory. i thought you were talking about real bullet models coming out of the guns and ricocheting off walls and rolling over the floors and stuff. and im not talking about tracers or ejected shells..

but hey atleast the rockets follow that, lol...
