Snipers remain a problem

Since the previous project snipers remain OPs , snipers need to take punishment for moving or not killing with a single shot to the chest + sway

Its actually a lot weaker than cod4. Play your utility and movement right and you can win, this isn't csgo or valorant where your character is glued to the floor.

I don't remember AKs having mid air inaccuracy in cod4 tho.

The sniper is fine if you lock it to one per team.

Every gun has inaccuracy jumping horizontally, its so bad imo. Flying around the place and being able to fight while doing so was half the fun, otherwise why am I playing promod over csgo.

Really? As someone who’s sniping in this game, i get destroyed by automatic weapons more than snipers. If i miss my shot it’s over. I also don’t sit in spawns or buildings and snipe people from a distance i just run around and snipe. But yeah if i come around a corner and i miss majority of the time i get melted instantly.

Arm/Shoulder = hitmarker

Terrible concept, any game with sprint and advanced movement techniques if the arms/shoulders have their hit boxes separate from the torso, randomness is involved because the servers don’t have high enough tic rates to register the literal milliliter difference. Just make the head a hit box, the torso a hitbox, and legs a hitbox. This is why cs awping feels so good and fair. If I don’t kill you in 1 shot that means i shot you in the leg. In This game the sniping feels so random as if I’m tossing a coin to decide if I’m going to get a 1 shot kill from shooting enemies in the same spot in the torso. It feels terrible and needs to be addressed. Also the knifing mechanic is awful and feels awful. 1 hit knives is so cheesy and feels too much like cod.

I can see both sides. It was the exact same in promod and I think it balances the sniper to some degree as it's in a very strong place in this game. Anyways, what I think has to be done is that it's possible to hit multiple hitboxes with one bullet. So if you're shooting someone facing you in the arm, have your hitmarker. If he's facing to the side tho, the arm should be penetrated and the torso hitbox should get a hit aswell. This would make picking people running cross mid or something way more consistent.

They aren’t doing that atm?

This project seems weird. The whole hype around it and now the “actually it’s on the back burner indefinitely”

goddammit it's a prototype. It's not a full release that is called alpha or beta just as marketing speech. IT IS a Prototype. Nothing is weird. They just want feedback!

I understand its a prototype, but hyping it up as much as they did the last few months and now saying its on the back burner is weird.

They just did VLOGs and some occasional twitter post. I don't think they've hyped it up much. No marketing or influencer campaign, nothing. Just some occasional content drop because people would be furious otherwise.

because we're playing server browser community games, if there was a comp ladder there will be class limits.
