There has only been one time since .21 (when I started playing) where the accuracy has been changed as drastically as it has in this update (it was an even worse change in the past, at least ben didn't completely screw things up as poorly as he did in the past)
EVERYBODY had a big fit and he IMMEDIATELY changed it back the next update
We can only hope he listens to the community again and changes things back...again.
Sadly there has been a large influx in young and POOR players who cant notice the difference on account they miss shots all the time and chalk it up to their own inadequacies, when us vets notice the difference is related to a change in the rifle.
So there aren't as many people complaining this time around...
(I came here during the 0.50's, so I wouldn't know about 0.21.) I dunno about you, I might not be able to score headshots nearly every single time but my marksmanship isn't hampered all that much with the Rifle's cone at the moment. You can't please everyone, sadly.
When you get as good as some of the people who have been playing as long as me (and there are people better then me even still) a corner of somebodies head at fog distance is not a difficult target (when stationary) But since the update it would be impossible to make a shot like that with one bullet (unless you are lucky)
And yes, I have tested it many times on my non pyspades server on STATIONARY targets, so lag CANNOT be blamed.
Some people wanna say it shouldn't be fair for people to pick you off with just the tiniest bit of your head showing, but I say to them just get better and you can do the same!
When you had to get fog-distance headshots with the original ironsights (sights you could barely see out of) it trained you to pick up the tiniest amount of movement and be PRECISE when firing, now you all have these dots and open-ended sights which might help you acquire targets faster, but hampers your marksman abilities for fine detail.
