shotgun aiming from the shoulder not possible?

The_Fur · 5th Nov 2000, 01:49 PM

when you switch aiming with the shotgun (i.e. bringing it to your shoulder) it doesn't look like you bring it to your shoulder... it looks as if you hold it straight in front of you... i find aiming with the shotgun from the shoulder quiteimpossible.

Can you do something about this?

The shotgun looks nice the way the way they have it,I see nothing wrong with it.It does look like its in front of you but who cares,I can aim it just fine.Besides its for close range mainly..I can only see a need for different aiming if you could purchase slugs,then you would have to be able aim more precise.

it's unrealistic though, firing semi like that would knock the wind out of you. not to mention be awkward and hard to manuever. that and it dosn't match the third person mesh.

I think this was already discussed in another post, the aiming mode for the shotgun is not final, they couldn't make the shotgun model aim properly because the model was too big or something. However this will be fixed up in later betas. I reckon the shotgun loads too slow, it may be realistic but it is unbalanced

shotgun kills in a single shot and you can take down more then 1 person with it, just don't go reloading in the middle of a fight... pull out your Eagle and run for cover.

btw i thought something was wrong, thx for clearing that up.

The problem is that the engine wasent ment for things being held too clouse to youre "head", when u put something that clouse to eye level, it messes up the textures and creates weird "holes" in the model, they are trying to fix it ASAP as far as i can understand!
