Make players easier to hit when they are in water

Got a great new idea for the game?

Make players easier to hit when they are in water

Postby PXYC » Mon Feb 27, 2012 9:35 pm

Ever been in Goon Haven or aloha pinpoint, or any map which has lots of water? The ones where half of the enemy team just goes out in the water? Especially when they're far off, they're pretty damn difficult to hit, because only a bit of their head sticks out, while they can see our entire bodies. My suggestion is that when a player is crouching in the water, they're at least a little bit more visible to players on land, because I find that 1/5 of my shots miss the watercamper, while they can get a clear shot on me easily.
Discuss.

Hm...I dunno

Logic WOULD dictate that you are harder to hit in water, due to it being difficult to judge distance over water.

Logic also dictates that when in water you would generally find it harder to aim at someone. Generally because you'd drown if just aiming and not swimming.

<@mikuli> the bad part in this plan is that it involves an already busy tea-drinking scone chomper with a monocle

Despite the fact the water appears to be about half a foot/a foot deep?

Yeah because guns are heavy so when you lift it up it pushes you down and so you drown...

Nah I got nothing, no idea why it would be harder to shoot in 2 feet of water...

Well its not really hard for me to kill water campers. If you are on land crouch and jump and keep shooting and I recommand you do this with the rifle.

I approve!
But it seems to me that you have a little problem there,I have no problem with water campers.
I just go out further in the water so that I can just go to the campers when they think they are safe and then "BOOM!headshot".
This problem is not really a very hard thing to me but it would be nice with some advantage when on land and shooting at the campers in the water.
I approve also this.

The point is, water ATM is place with some disadvantages and a lot of advantages - and we (well... me) want it to be shitty place to be, so you want to get out as fast as possible.
Why? because without that rivers/lakes means a lot less. Their tactical importance is close to 0. And I want terrain features to mean something.

btw. Thread about water, IMO it should be merged :P

I think that bullets should be able to go through the water to increase the target when someone is crouching in water.

Fully agreed.

It's easy for me to get people :/. Basicly all I can come up with is "You don't have the skills.". :P Sounds trolly but it's true, if you don't like being shot by people in the water i'd suggest getting in the water too.

I'll quote myself here a bit and say that with rifle it's pretty easy to kill fishes, but shotgun and smg can struggle when distance gets a little longer.
