First of all how do you turn tracers off? as slow as the bullet tracers move it takes away the effect that the gun is powerful. also the smoke trail on the sniper rifle is kind of annoying. secondly how can i make bullets do more damage? sometimes it takes a full clip on the mp5 to bring someone down.

Why would you want to make tracers turn off? I agree with the sniper smoke trail, but even this isn't that bad. Making bullets do more damage...??? Why not give everyone a RL?
A real silenced MP5 is like that, that's why the rate of fire is so high.
The idea is to play the game with the features it has. Otherwise, search on the net for the cheats, and have fun...

Try shooting them in the head, otherwise you have to wear down the health and armour. Headshot detection is another matter!

im not talking about multiplayer, i dont even play it... im talking about single player. so is there a command line i can use to turn off bullet tracers? or something i can edit to make bullet do more damage?

I agree totally with velocite here, except about the tracers on the normal guns.
The silenced mp5 is damn weak but rememeber its only a 9mm sub machne gun. they should increase all bullet damage by 20% though.
I HATE the smoke trail on the sniper rifle aswel!

The smoke trail on the Sniper is good in a way in that you can see where the shots are coming AT you from... provided you're not nailed by it first http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

"A real silenced MP5 is like that, that's why the rate of fire is so high."
Uh, no it isnt. A silenced MP5 shoots a bullet just under the speed of sound. Even with this mysterious armour that you can pick up, you still aren't going to take the 15-20 rounds people often do in this game. That's "only" 20 baseball bat swings to the exposed ribs. Wow!
As for headshots, I dont think you even can headshot the "Trigents."
And yes, the sniper-rifle trail is the dumbest thing I've seen in quite some time.

Sniper rifle smoke trail is fine - most fo the time you should be ducking back into cover before you get detected, and if you need to attack quickly, try CryVision. you can see right past the smoke trail with it.

Go Into your FCData Directory
Open the Scripts.pak archive
Go into the "Default" directory and extract the GameRules.lua file.
Switch Read-Only attribute off
Change the player_to_ai_damage line to this (COPY AND PASTE)
player_to_ai_damage = { 15, 7.5, 3.5, 2, 2, 3 },
Save, exit, switch read-only attribute back on. Re-add the file back into the Scripts.pak archive.
Now if you play on Realistic it takes just as many shots to kill them as it takes them to kill you.
Note that this increases your damage, it does not weaken theirs. The game will still be hard just not as hard. However the game will play more like a tactical shooter like Ghost Recon. I personaly like it alot better.

Hi
Not even sure the sniper bullet is supposed to be a smoke trail. I think its supposed to be the air trail vortex the bullet leaves. Least it looks more like tha to me than a smoke trail on my machine. While it might not be realistic to see that in real life, you also don't get the warning you would get in real life in that you hear a crack like a whip from a close bullet passing you. So I guess it kind of makes up for that.
Maybe it's a case of the programmer hates snipers himself and likes to give you a chance to zero their position from the angle of that bullet wake as it zips pasted you. Still, I personally don't mind that wake being in teh game.
