I just got back from some serious SG testing, I wasn't able to test the SG in combat due to some Matchmaking problems, but thanks to the same problems, I was placed in a match with only 16 players in total, and it was on the broken redesigned Domination map, so everyone left but be, leaving me to train my piloting skills, and test out some weapon perimeters!
From my testing, the results have shown that the SG, has gotten significantly worse than before. First I started testing some of the bug reports that I've been reading on the forums, the first one I choose was, first clip in the SG not firing, results, true, the first shot has a high chance of not firing and even worse, it will also consume ammo sometimes.
2.) SG pellet spread is too big/inconsistent, results, true, this was a hard one to test, since everyone had left the match, I had no targets to test this on, so I was forced to shoot walls and dirt, which was also difficult, as now the SG won't show signs of impact now, I'll get to that in a minute, I was forced to strafing and trying to watch the pellet trails as I fired my SG, I was able to catch a glimpse of there spread/pattern, it was awful, it seems to be completely random, several shots fired in a vertical/horizontal lines, and the spread was atrocious.
3.) I found this one myself, not sure if others have notice. As I was testing the pellet spread/pattern, I noticed that I could see the point of impact on any surface textures, no dust puffs on the floor, no heat marks on the walls, just nothing, almost as if the shots don't exist, only targets show signs of impact, I miss fired on my supply depot and it's shields registered a hit, no damage though, this isn't a big problem, but I felt this should be mentioned as no other weapon has this issue.
4.) Another issue I found, I found myself double reloading, while reloading, I would notice after putting all 8 shells, my character would load a 9th shell, this happened rarely during my testing, but this delay could be fetal to many SGers.
This is all I was able to test by myself, I hope this helps in some way, if anyone has anymore data to share please do, I'd very much like to compare notes. |
