Tracer Fire

iwound · 2013-04-12 23:23:33 UTC

Who wants a more defined or stronger tracer fire.
i hardly notice it even in spec.
i know the devs have been working on this.
so maybe it will change soon.
i think it could be another way of identifying say heavy weapons with a stronger trace fire.
id like it slightly thicker and longer.:rolleyes: well at least test it. oh dear.

I vote no tracer fire except sniper.

Somewhat related I’d like to see more that the final killing shot for deathghostlies (perhaps yellow for the last 5 shots and red for the killer).

As to the current level of tracers they serve their purpose of showing where players are shooting whilst hiding in a corner or behind an object, but without cluttering up the display with lines flying all over the place, which I would probably find too off putting.

However currently they seem more like an extended muzzle flash, so perhaps a little more of a smoke style effect would work well.

At one point the tracer fire was great, then it seemed to have been patched back out. Not sure if that was an intentional roll back or not, but I am not the only one to have noticed this and it seems to have happened with other things in the past as well.

Don’t mind them showing for other players but really don’t want to see them coming from my own gun. Distracting and annoying.

i just wonder as so much work had been done on these but they are hardly visible.
ive been hoping for better tracer fire from the start but as it hadnt been a priority left it.
but they have been mentioned in the MS videos. but ingame they are next to barely visible.

Devs will these change, improve etc?

If the spread was much higher then yes i would like more visible tracer fire to see where my hits are going (like CS)… however due to the spread being minimal (which i like) there isn’t really any need for tracer fire at all as bullets are hitting where you aim. Personally i’d remove it altogether, but i can understand those that want realism in their games/high quality graphics.

no special comment here … I’ll stick with the way things are currently done. Works fine for me !

Maybe special ammo, like in real life for the tracer bullets (they have magnesium burning at their end)

I want my game to be as blaa as possible. I just want a cross-hair and people.

No blood
No Tracers
No Birds
No Rats
No Boxes with paper coming out
No bullet marks
No sky (Black!)
No Nothing (Lodbias everything!)

As for DB release sure have all that…

As long as they don’t bring back the TIE fighter tracers I’m happy. Those things were ridiculous.
