SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

Re: Res Vs. Inf weapons.. definitive

In Response To: Resurrection Vs. Infinity weapons.. (Grasshopper)
: Well, here's a repost comparing in (more or less)
: scientific terms some recoil and fire rates.
: Guys, pleeeeaaase fix at least some of these. The
: Resurrection AR takes almost TWICE as long to
: discharge as the regular Marathon AR, and the Marathon
: AR has comparable recoil to the Resurrection SMG.
So I did a little bit of research on recoil.
M1 M2/Minf M:R
Fist 0 0 0
Magnum 0 10 10
Fusion 5 20 5 20 5 N/A
AR 5 40 5 40 5 N/A
SPNKR 80 100 100
TOZT 5 35 2 2
Alien 5 35 5 5 5
WSTEM 25 25
KKV 5 5
As you can see, the KKV recoil was identical to the MInf MA75 primary fire recoil. It may have just seemed heavier since the firing rate is faster. This is also true for M:R.
While doing the research I noticed that we had neglected to add a heavier recoil for the altfire modes of the fusion pistol and the MA75. The fix for this has already been added to the next release.
So if the KKV recoil is 5 Marathon and 5 in M:R, everything should be the same, right? Maybe not. The question is: What does 5 mean to the Marathon engine and does it mean the same thing to the Unreal engine? The answer is: Apparently not. While all of our weapons have the correct recoil relative to each other, I can agree that the recoil for all weapons needs to be scaled down a bit. This also will happen in the next release.
: I know the M2 manual talks about firing the M1 AR as
: being "akin to wrestling with a greased
: pig," but in this case, I'd call the M:R AR more
: like a greased hulk.
Naw - it's more like wrestling a greased twelve year old girl. ;-) *
