Agreed. Never been a big fan of spraying. I have been using the Fal and I like how it pretty much forces me to play a keep away game instead of just rushing down.
I'm waiting for the M16 131
I'm gonna cut you!
i was playing MW2 yesterday with the volume muted because i was trying to listen for something cooking and after a while the game began looking like a carnival shooting gallery with the cardboard pop up enemies. i could almost hear the "ping!" sound in my head after everytime hit 'em..
The a.i. in this game is so generic really (still).
i can't wait for the day to come when a.i. in video games, especially in f.p.s., become so human-like in their behaviours, responses, and reactions that those elements become just about indistinguishable.
