devs left us with a disaster version

[HunTinG]

yep, that's right, it's not just my opinion
unfortunately i don't have recorded material to reproduce visually what i'm about to describe in this topic
basically:
all shots sync now, due to that
1) whenever someone NEARLY gets knocked when landing from a jump, he sometimes will slide on the floor.. that wouldn't be a problem, but now, thanks to 100% bullet sync, everyone can see him sliding on the floor while shooting, it is a pain in the ass to deal with this
2) whenever some player jumps from a height that triggers the roll anim, if he presses SPACE (jump) to get up without holding SPRINT then shoots, he will be seen rolling and shooting at the same time
3) anims are a buggy mess
(this applies mostly for shotgun)
yep, just like in 06, nothing has changed, the only thing that is new is the fresh new bullet sync that makes you be able to spam shots, hoping you will hit something.. and no, the spam cannot be removed now, if in 06 you could have servers decide whether they want this or not, in 07 they force this upon you.. and as for bonus, whenever you spam, if the server has the default shotgun values, you will fire out of your head literally, because the anim doesnt show the player shooting the gun anymore, it just glitches tf out
the only way to solve this is to mess with shotgun's E value (reload), basically to make it less than 250 ms.. i guess
4) rifles are not excluded from all of the above, player does sometimes glitch the anim with m4 when he's being shot at, which looks terrible
5) if you like speed cheating, 07 is the best version for you
practically since this new bullet sync was added, you can decide how fast or slow you want to shoot
+ bonus 6) aurora still works, so this version was indeed pointless after all

and NO, shots don't sync better than in 06, it's just an illusion, laggers now have more upperhand than ever..
and to note, there's a lot more, I just am lazy to list everything wrong with 07 right now
the best hope is to revert back to normal that @!$!@$# bullet sync, it only does harm, there's nothing good about it sadly (apart from the laser sniper shots, which is useless, cuz sniping has to be done patiently and accurately, not meant to be spammed for lucky shots)

tbh right now we just gotta accept that 004 and 006 were the best VCMP versions, you simply cannot improve DM more than that..

This update is nuts. As hunting says, people use weird ways to glitch their shots. Even if there is no animation, the person(shooting) will still shoot, his shot will get synced.
c'mon. Devs dont play this game, do they?

They be like: Umm, so most people use wep.dat nowadays right? Let's just set shotgun's reload settings to 0 so we'll equalize between the players who use hacks. rofl.

Please, send a new update like 06 and dont even touch shotgun settings. Let it stay the same as 06/04

not only that, y'all removed Ghost Shots... like who in the world suggested all this?

Thanks for reporting issues, remember: reporting here on the forum is key step one to getting them fixed by developers and clear precise descriptions are key.

@HunTinG
I can inform that the developers are aware of issues you listed.

as for point 5), that is preventable by server scripters.

my advice is to play in servers who can detect such cheats.

@Hazard
ghost shots were a bug that are now fixed thanks to the new superior shot sync.

but can you describe these weird ways people glitch their shots, how?

Remember: as in all online games (especially VC:MP) it's best experienced playing in a server with low ping, with players who also have low ping.

Connection stability matters too, packet loss, jitter.

the quality of your experience is determined just not by your connection, but other players connections too, and ofcourse the server shouldnt be freezing and have quality connection too

nowadays there are very few players who use decent connections.
