You CAN usually manage to time a shot to hit them, is what i've found. But the real skill is to know when they are an experienced player and it is in your favour to reposition..
I tend not to do it due to really just enjoying doing things the 'right' way. That said though, if I feel outnumbered or outgunned I DO give the enemy a bit of a hard time..
What about, for interests sake, an animation that obscures the players' vision as he stands up? Or would that not work with the sights scoped in?

Re: The strangeness of the pop-up move
That was my point, I'm still waiting for a sarcasm font or something.Spec wrote:That's the thing. Fairness has nothing to do with the game engine.
It's an odd little trick most veteran PR players use, and I find it can be applied to almost any shooting game I've played since I started to get into the habit of using cover this way.
You need to accept that anything within the games limit is fair as long as anyone can learn to do the same. Do you this it is an exploit when someone can jump/run up terrain and u keep sliding down? I'd wager that the vast majority don't. Just don't get butt hurt over it when you get owned this way, adapt and overcome. I don't see is as cheating at all, I could understand calling it cheap. It's not like it takes an external program to be able to do this, just very very little practice to get accustomed to the tactic.

Re: The strangeness of the pop-up move
Im too cool for pop-up persons bullets, instead i take cover and flank the fck out of the noob or reposition myself so that he cannot do taht anymore. And there is 5 people under my command who can distract him or whatever.
But its a silly tactic, yes. Since it can be done, it will be done.

Re: The strangeness of the pop-up move
I agree with Menigmand here, going from crouch to standing should increase deviation. I don't care how good a marksman you are, quickly moving your whole body by 3 feet and bringing your target into view should not be the same as having aimed at the target in full view all along.
