Shooting with a GDF assault rifle or machine gun issue

[Fredje]

I've been playing the sneak peek for a couple of hours now and the first thing that i noticed was that a full automatic machinegun/assault rifle seem to jam after every 2-3 shots.

this results in some kind of laggy shooting.

The thing is that the everything else (weapons, movement, vehicles etc.) go very smooth.

To give an example of the "jamming" or so called "laggy shooting"

I just hold my mouse button and it's like the guns shoots in random burst you know burt is 3 shots half a second nothing again 3 rounds..

What i mean with random burst is that the gun sometimes fires 2 shots then a very slight pauze then 3 shots, then 1 then 3 then 4 then 2 etc ...

it's very hard to fight in close combat against a strogg who doens't have that problem :p.

Are any other people having this problem?

Are you sure you weren't playing Covert Ops? Their rifle looks the same as the regular one, but it is more accurate and fires differently. Unscoped it fires the same, but with the scope up (ironsights) it fires 3 shots then stops til you fire again.

Field Op's can also get this as a reward at lvl 1.

Ya, it has a burst fire mode I believe, 3 shots is considered a burst.

but it sometimes shoots more then 3 rounds in a burst and i have tried it playing solider, field ops, engineer

even the machine gun that a soldier can use sometimes fires 7 shots then jams for alittle moment and fire a couple more.


btw it ain't standing on burst fire mode because i just keep holding my left button so in burst fire mode it woul stop shooting after the first 3 rounds.

There is supposed to be a sound bug which makes you hear the shots in bursts - but its actually still firing constantly

could be possible, disabled compressed sounds now so gonna see what the result will be

otherwise i'll try and reinstall the client

This is a known bug in the audio rendering of the guns. Actual bullets behave normally and leave the barrel at a steady rate.

Huh? oh dude hes right man, there is currently a bug that they intend on patching up that deals with the weapon sounds. Reinstalling the client won't be the fix I re-assure you. You may not hear something but fire away if you don't intend on getting killed =)

[jeeves]

how hard is it to shoot something and see if it is still firing with no sounds....jeez

firing with a laggy sound is much harder then firing with a decent sound or no sound at all :p

too bad i can't disable the weapon sound for those 2 mahcine guns :p
