Sniper rifles are very exact. With the Rosethorn, you basically have to hit in the general area.

That, and also the Rosethorn goes through things...

Ever hear of collateral damage?

Sniper rifles are generally very high caliber, and it is not unknown for them to get kills shooting through barriers.

Well...
It's a robot, so... where is the most disabling place to hit it?

I love the specificity of that statement.

Anyway, very nice work. It does feel kind of laggy-ish when you move the mouse to the edge of the screen and your view moves. The motion is kind of... jerky, I guess.

I haven't played the latest update yet, but I'll try it sometime soon.

Responses in bold.

I'd also like to add that it is a common tactic in video games to make the sniper rifle a weapon with a long, thin range but high damage (many times an instant kill) upon impact, if said impact is in the vital area of the enemy (chest or head for humans). Examples: Uncharted 1 and 2, All the Ratchet and Clanks, Call of Duty.

Arrow Common Theme? - 08-22-2010, 11:41 AM

Responses underlined:

To settle this 'tread' issue, tanks can't move from side to side. To move right or left, one tread has to rotate faster than the other to make it turn, and then it goes on its new course.
So, the turret can rotate, but the body part of the tank shouldn't.
However, this makes for a really weird control scheme, and I like the way X has made it for this game.
Thanks You're welcome.

Yeah, and I also like the crosshair. It's really nice how you have multiple textures for it when you can fire or can't (like how it blinks red when you need to reload). Thanks. You're welcome.

As for collision detection, yes, it's a bit touchy, but it'll be fixed.
I like the explosion, plus how one tank splits in half when destroyed.
Thanks again. You're welcome again.

Yeah, you normally try to get headshots. However, I do find that in Modern Warfare 2, you can get a one-hit kill in the arms or legs with the Barrett (well, it is a 50-caliber...).

On a similar note to camera movement the camera never moves to center the robot in the middle of the screen, even when i move the mouse to the far right hand side.
