Adding auto-fire?

[KaiserBlackwood]

Have there ever been ideas of adding auto-fire (Means no bursts, just spraying ammo) to the game?

[DrPng]

Think that's already a thing, bud.

[KaiserBlackwood]

Meh, I never saw thing you can click and watch ammo run out very fast
It would be great for marines to make a barrage that would turn xenos in shreds... If they won't FF each other before...

[DrPng]

Oh you mean an automated system, nah dont think thats a thing

[KaiserBlackwood]

Well FF is always here to kill us, so why no?
I think it would be fun to see marines making barrage of bullets into caves

[Dolth]

This was a feature on the Russian CM server. Basiclly shooting on the tile you clicked until you stop clicking, you could still move to adjust the angle. But other than that, I disadvise adding it to the game.

One question.

R u srs?

Full - Auto would be basically game breaking. Even if you toast the accuracy (bwoop, reddot and EB and you are an absolute killing machine) marines would rush into caves with M41s and AP mags and Xenos would not be able to do shit. Just imagine sending 3 squads with fully automatic weapons, AP ammo, Smartguns, Specialist weapons and flamers into Big Red cave system. Even the best Ayy mains would get wiped out.
Also
Massive amount of friendly fire
Bill Carson would get an evac pod block because xenos would always loose and imagine a Carson round without escape pods. Unreal.
Also a marine dual wielding M41s with reddots and BCs.

it isn't.

[DrPng]

it isn't.

Thought he meant automatic fire, not auto clicking.

[spookydonut]

automatic fire won't happen.

[Anoonki]

This would toast the weapon balance of firing delay, so either you'd get guns that're beyond overpowered, or you'd get full-auto peashooters.

But above, Spooky gave you the Development team's stance on the matter.

It could also mean misclicks would be a nightmare (sometimes the mouse gets stuck on LClick).
