Before the patch I got used to resisting long bursts - instead it was a matter of lining up where you could to do a short burst, and chewing down the other guy piecemeal (often while they did a long burst/wasted their shots)
Now it feels like holding off is a bad idea (assuming you can keep your aim near the target somewhat) - either your burst will be enough to kill them, or if you hold off you'll suffer a huge DPS drop and die no matter.
I don't mind it, I'm just wondering whether other folks think the age of the short controlled burst just ended, or whether it's still viable? I kind of don't want to experiment (ie, DIE) over trying SCB's over and over, so I thought I'd ask instead. |

Previously I'd do short bursts and would often see the pretty white lines of the other guys bullets spraying and not missing me.
Now it just seems they continually hit and it's basically a DPS race. To stop firing at that point seems a bad idea.
Maybe I should just suck it up and do a bunch of ambush matches so I get alot of chances to test it, instead of sporadice chances that skirmish and dom give.
ALSO I'm wondering if there's some kind of client bug screwing things up - I was actually getting a few short freezes in the game and not doing well (like killing no one, just about). I quit out and restarted, and then I'm maybe killing more than half the guys I run into. I've seen posts on this sort of issue in the past (though I'm surprised if a client could indeed effect the game so much) |

I'm begining to think that rather than miss entirely when they spray, they hit but do not as great damage is someone who occasionally burst fires on them. So it's a far tighter window, but medium bursts, stop and realign (while strafing) then medium burst might be the way to go.
Then some other guy pops out after I kill them and finishes off my remaining 30 armour... |
