The animation seems correct if you kneel. It's the animation while prone that is fubar. Check it out: do a /headShot(x) in the kneeling position and then in the prone position. I think the kneeling animation was the intended one for /headShot(x) /mindShot(x). And for that other guy that can't read....


ANIMATION


I think standing was fine too, can't remember as I rarely ever stand at that point.

im saying 3 hit out of that 5 that came from just ONE auto attack and they showed in my combar chat


you shoot at thug for 570dmg


you shoot at thug for 536 dmg


you shot at thug for 675 dmg






I'm betting this is lag. I've seen hits and no animation. I've seen pauses and auto animation shots crowded together, looking like multi-hits. SS would be good WITH the diagnostic box up, Ping and Loss would be useful.

I also think it has to do with whether you use /aim or not.

I agree, this has annoyed ever since I realized only 1 shot was ever going to connect per volley. Why all the extra crap?

The exception is suppression fire, of course. Those shots are not necessarily meant to hit, but to suppress.

Rifle != Sniper



When will people learn that..go read the web on what Rifling means..it has nothing to do with sniping. There are plenty of rifles out there that are automatic and semi automatic...not bolt loaded sniper rifles.


If you want 1 shot kill Rifles go play Counterstrike.

you know its really funny how people dont read any of the message and just say |\|0 J00 \/\/@|\|+ +0 |33 T3|-| |_||33|2 l33t. Ow. My brain hurts after typing that. Took like 5 mins =p. But yea i think you guys are right that it should only shoot one round fot the autoattack. I mean to be honest the only things that should do that would be supression shot.

Urm.. sounds like your the one playing counter strike m8.. not really following the jist of this thread at all are you. Are you friends with my best buddy SpecialForces? You both seem to share the same level of reading comprehension :/

1) We're asking for a change in animation..
2) NO ONE mentioned changing us into one shot killers AT ALL in this thread..
3) Have you even LOOKED at the rifleman tree?

Well I'll cover them for you.. 'Sniping Accuracy','Concealment Tactics','Counter Sniping' and 'Rifle Special Abilities'. Yep that sure does sound like the skills taught to all soldiers using automatic and semi auto weapons doesnt it... where are you ppl coming from?

I'll recap in regard to SWG what this set of skills means:

Rifle == Sniper/Sharpshooter

So in the context of this game rifle has EVERYTHING to do with sniping. Maybe you should do some research before you start telling us what we should be reading eh?
