One thing that bothers me about the rifle line is that there is little to no difference in hip fire spread between rifles. The assault rifle does have the tightest hip fire spread but only by a very tiny amount, but it actually has the most spread of all the rifles while moving and hipfiring. Other rifles are very laser accurate when hipfiring and moving, meaning most shots land in the center of the reticle which is why other rifles are very good at cqc.

These are crappy photos from my phone showing the difference in spread between rifles, it is very hard to notice the difference because there barely is one. But I took them on a corner wall with the AR as a base so these images will show the small increase in spread as they offset away from the corner.

Another thing I noticed is while moving around and hipfiring these weapons, aside from the AR, will mostly hit the center of their reticle meaning that there is no actual hip fire spread increase for them while moving although the reticle does get bigger.

The reason why I even bring this up is because although an AR can deal good dps at short range it's usage becomes more and more subjective as longer range rifles can hip fire just as good if sometimes better in cqc.

What I suggest is that there be a hip fire spread increase to these rifles.

AR: 0%
CR: 10-15%
SCR: 20-25%
RR: 25-30%

Also the hip fire spread while moving around should be looked it because the CR and the RR have extremely laser accurate hip fire when moving. This might be a glitch or intended but really it is detrimental either way. I didn't test the SCR for this.

CR is CQB weapon so it will be accurate.. and RR becuase its spread is tighter but over longer range it spreads out more because its a long range weapon but lower spread at close range can work against you more then you think.

Although there should be a little more hipfire spread I think that any changes to it should be done very carefully because too much and it can change how the game feels. Imagine if superfast games like Unreal Tournament or Quake had a strafefire accuracy penalty. Those games would be totally different. On the other end imagine if games like CoD or Battlefield had less of a hipfire penalty. Those players wouldn't be stopping to ADS every 5 seconds to kill a guy across the street.

*Ignore the themes of the games i used as examples (military, sci-fi). Just look at the FPS mechanics and how they are played.

**inb4 hit detection.
fixing that would make it easier to adjust the hipfire though.

The first two games were arena shooters so that crazy hipfire was necessary. Games like cod and bf have more refined mechanics, example smgs and some rifles were very good at hip firing although their extreme kick made long range very hard.

But thats why there is something called gun game . Werent you the same guy complaining about strafe speeds too? Why is your mission to ruin the little bit of fun that this game has which is to make people actually aim. Strafe speed already got nerfed back in 1.5. And hip fire from any rifle is no problem if you have anything called strafe skills but i doubt it.

If your opponent is strafing around your only option is to spray and pray

I honestly stopped reading right here and face palmed.
