Yesterday I ran to a fire base with a full enemy Chinese squad there, all full auto'ing me, I still got it.

As well as a Chinese guy full autoing me point blank, he whipped out a pistol and proceeded to shoot me with that as well. In the mean time I was doing the slow as hell reload, and still managed to tri-burst him in the face, and win.


I felt like I was invincible at that moment...

OldCrow wrote:The min effective range for rifles is listed at 30-300M. Why in the world is it made so that Assault rifles can't hit **** under 30M. It should be easier and easier the closer you get unless the enemy is grabbing your weapon.

I've tried everything from staying crouched and trying to hit a guy who's dancing around me unloading like a madman, to being the danceing guy. The best thing seems to be Automatic fire or your knife. Well, sometimes you aren't in autofire mode or your gun doesn't have it, but it seems that it's totally unrealistic to shoot men up close, especially moving targets. A guy running at you from 10M with a knife will win many times over your semi-auto rifle fire. That's just plain dumb.

I've played plenty of paintball and fired many real guns as a huge gun freak and I know it's much easier to hit a target the closer it is. Unless I'm mistaken, it's harder at closer range in PRv8.

Thats the reason the lowest those sights go is 200m, because before 200M the bullet in some cases will actually hit above what you are aiming at. Anything closer than 100m your best bet is to just point and click.

The full auto in the game is perfect, its probably the best I've ever seen, full auto is 9/10 useless on a rifle, the only time its good is in cqc, and usually then you wont even be looking through your sights. the M249 is aso perfect, mounted its a beast, my only problem is I wish it had an ACOG or ELCAN

obZen wrote:Have you ever fired from standing? Anything more than 100m you would be lucky to hit 1/5 shots, and thats firing slow, because theres so much movement in your arms and chest you have to wait for the rifle to go where you want it, rather than you point it there.

If you're talking about in-game, RIGHT ON!

M.0.D wrote:have you ever shot standing in real life? I did, but i wouldn't say 100 meters, but to hit a man-sized target at 200 meters is pretty hard and needs some time, you can't just point your weapon on it and shoot.

You have to keep in mind, we have to think of regular soldiers in PR, these are no Uber-Rambo guys, who can hit a fly at 200 meters with the first shot.

M.0.D wrote:and you fired a shot every second? like they do in PR?

it IS possible to hit at this ranges, but standing it is pretty hard, for me at least .. and perhaps you are exceptionally good, but the normal soldier out there is not i would think.

obZen wrote:so have I, and I disagree. These are supposed to be trained soldiers, not grandmothers, I understand what they are trying to accomplish and the mechanics the game creates, but I just find it frustrating .
