I like the overheat as mechanic on the scrambler.
I suggested this be added on the tac, starts over heating if a certain rate of fire is exceeded.
This helps balance both for modded controller and people with amazing trigger speed.
I looked into the speed a finger can pull the trigger, from paintball site
"Additionally, many people can't move their fingers fast enough to fire more than about 10-12 BPS. Many players claim that they can fire over 20 BPS", "Most players with mechanical guns never will shoot faster than 7-8 BPS"
This works out to 600 to 720 rounds per minute as max for most, few people claim to be able to hit 1200 rounds per minute but not proven. 420-480 probably about normal high rate in a battle. This makes a limit by max speed of trigger pulls hard, since a fast trigger can fire almost as fast a typical modded controller, just much rarer.
I tested my trigger speed vs a modded controller,
My trigger finger maxed between 400 and 440.
Modded controller at 900 pulls per minute, as this exceeds the coded max of tac ar it ignores 1/2 and fires at 450 rpm.
This is not a large difference, and probably about the rate of fire of scrambler rifle, so I should be able to hit max dps with my finger on standard controller, with better heat management then a mod would allow.
Not noticeably slower looking at both on screen, but semi-auto gave me the option of firing at a slower rate adjusting aim by tracers, then speeding up once on target. So, for me semi-auto worked better then full auto modded.
A good way to prevent modded controller in code would be to check the spacing. A modded controller will have Identical interval between each shot, a human will have slight variations. If measured a micro second, a .5% variation could be measured at 500 rounds per minute. If a it checked two identical trigger pulls, then ignored any consecutive pulls that were also identical, a modded controller would fire 2 shots and "jam". A human with 5% variation in speed would have a one in a thousand of a single trigger pull not firing. |

I like the heat mechanic, it is like you are manually overriding the safe firing speed for more damage at risk to thew weapon, full auto version is set at max safe setting.
Metal gear torture scenes normally required me holding controller in way i could hit it with multiple fingers. I hate the modded controller for fps, I can get better effect semi-auto controlling fire rate, but it will be great for the next metal gear/ resident evil cut scene requiring spamming a key to not die. I hate those scenes, but love the games. I'll just swap my dual shock for the modded genric turbo junk for the scenes, like the move controller to port 2 to beat Psycho Mantis trick. |
