Short burst
« on: April 17, 2013, 10:24:36 am »

I suggest a option for BG guns like LSW and M60 a option of a shortburst.
An experienced machinegunner increase his accuracy by reducing the scattering caused by blowback and save ammo when he makes short, 3-7 round bursts.

In terms of gameplay, this gives a alternative to a single shot mode on MGs.

Nice one, since only the experienced big gunner coud do it i woud put minimal level of BG skills for short burst like. 150%.

No more wasting 30 ammo on that nasty radscorpion.

That's a good idea, and it's done more-or-less like that irl.

They won't add it.

Makes too much sense.

Honestly i can't say weather it has been implemented yet. But the idea is out there, and that's all im saying.

Checked their changelog.

Short burst. This burst takes 1 OD less and fires less rounds, and therefore - inflicts less damage. Currently added to M60, LSW and 14 mm machine gun.

Well. As some people say, the hope dies last. The next afterwipe update will sure have a lot of great features. Until then... Its not a TLAmkII thread.

If TLA got it and its work for them there is no reason why this woudn`t work for us also.
Its good idea and i really woud like to see this in game.

I'm going to threaten the developers of TLA with lawsuit for blatantly ripping the short burst function from the game Silent Storm. If they do not take action and keep the function in the game I will contact Nival Interactive and inform them of TLA misbehavings. I highly advise FO2238 does not follow in the steps of TLA and stay clear of copyright infringement... Oh wait, game mechanics CAN NOT be copyrighted. There are things that just work in games. I might as well copyright mouse usage in games and then developers will have to pay me. It doesn't matter if other games have that. If it is proven to work, then there is no reason to not have that (unless we are talking balance issues).

I still can be reached over e-mail if you somehow need anything from me. Don't see a reason why you would, but if you do, e-mail remains the safest bet, as I do not visit this forum reliably anymore.

THANK GOD SOMEBODY FINALLY BROUGHT IT UP! 2238 devs were misinformed that all the good features were copyrighted so they kept implenting only crappy ones! Thanks to you, things will go in different direction now. :)
