SD please read - Automatic recoil correction


(RaKeD) #1

Dear SD,

please remove the automatic recoil correction,it is extremely annoying in some situations.It is putting the mouse to the ground when using weapons with heavy recoil like the ritchie revolver and draganov rifle in combination with rapid fire.It is really annoying when you do e.g. 2 fast shots with the ricthie revolver, compensate for recoil and then have the gun pointing to the ground.

Thx for reading.

Gun mechanics in Brink are too poor to begin with, to be nit picky about anything specific. I think what happened was that the developers were too busy concerning themselves with the teamwork aspect of the game and forgot that, at the end of the day, a first person shooter is, well, a first person shooter. No matter how teamplay oriented the game might be, that’s what it eventually boils down to - shooting. It’s just simply unsatisfying in Brink. Aiming down sights doesn’t give you an edge, even though it takes time to do it. Going into a fight, you will be at a severe disadvantage when aiming down sights. Recoil is harder to manage, sensitivity isn’t adjusted properly, cone spread of the bullets is much more apparent, although the spread amount probably doesn’t change, it will feel as if there’s more.

The weapons themselves, for the most part, are interesting and varied but there are problems there as well. For example, the reflex sight blocks too much of the screen. Much more so than any other game I can recall from recent history.

I haven’t actually experienced the problem you’re describing. Are you sure it’s not a mouse problem?

I agree on most of the stuff you wrote.A lot of feedback was made by the community as they feel the same.

Back to topic,I am sure it is not a mouse problem.

Here is how you can experience what i mean.Take a Ritchie Revolver or Draganov Light Rifle, add the rapid fire mod and shoot 2 fast shots pressing the mouse down to compensate the recoil from the first shot.Do this after the second shot and then try to aim at e.g. a second incoming enemy.What happens is that you end up with your gun pointing to the ground!

This happens with all weapons but with weapons like e.g. the Droganov or Ritchie Revolver you will really get what i mean.It is of course also annoying with the Rockstedi but the moving down towards the floor isn’t as crazy as with the Ritchi or Draganov but still let s you get off target.

Yeah I stopped using the ritchie because of this…rather have ammo in the belgo. Could there be a cvar to get rid of it?

Hmmm… Are you sure it’s auto-correction as such? Maybe it’s just your own recoil compensation that is producing unsatisfactory results after the shots have been made?

Yes i am sure.The game does an automatic recoil correction although as a player you already did that.This leads to the gun pointing to the ground.
