Re: Why can’t I kill people

Also, if anyone is having some trouble with aim you are more than welcome to drop some footage in here and we'll all chip in to give advice what you might want to change up. Uploading it to a site like YouTube and dropping the link here is most ideal.

After 60 hours in the game now, I can say that the gun situation really is a problem. I have tried to force myself to play other guns. Part of me wants to make other guns work, but I just get annoyed and go back to the PP-29. I've had so many instances now where I shot people dead center chest with zero hit registration. I've emptied entire clips into people with zero hit registration. It really does make me wonder how much playtesting occurred on this game before it was released. If I was playtesting this game I could have written an essay on the gun issue just 20 hours in. It was already obvious there were big issues. I run GeForce experience and record all my gameplay. Several of these instances I have went back and watched footage in slow motion to figure out how in the world I missed a shot or lost a gun fight only to find I had actually done everything perfectly - Shots perfectly placed, just didn't register. Some how the PP-29 is the one gun that consistently feels like it does not suffer from this issue. It seems to always hit. I have killed people running at 200m with the pp29 with 3 burst shots. It is accurate and lethal. Other guns feel anywhere from much worse to drastically worse. I haven't touched the AR's in the last 20 hours of play...They just arent fun and feel broken. I just keep coming back to how in the world did this get past play testing. What is the tick rate of these servers? Why does it feel as though my bullets often just go right through people without doing any damage?

@EA_Blueberry I did learn very quickly that if you spam the trigger, accuracy goes out the window!

Yep! IMO, that's how it should be. Far more realistic. 

Just a heads up, weapons will get balance changes as well as general spread changes in the future. Just keep us in the know on how you feel things are at the moment and we'll keep communicating that with the team. Fellow players here always appreciate any tips/advice you can lend if you've mastered some weapons, don't hold out on us now! 

the "pp-29" meta shows that the playerbase prefers guns without bloom. learning to control a guns recoil(or using attachments to bring things under control like the ak recoil) without a bloom mechanic just feels better to play. 

@EA_Blueberry  Since I have unlocked the PP-29 the game has changed massively for me. I am really starting to enjoy it now. The problem for me is maps are so big and expansive the guns need to be able to match the range and distance. The gun play on the PP-29 is brilliant and it feels right for the ranges it is being used. I think if you can fix the range and spread on the assault rifles this game will be even better.
