An example of what I'm talking about. Notice something is on the wrong side

Question:
Does it annoy you at all and would you like to see the developers make the weapons look more realistic?

Choices:
Yes
No

 

i don't get it (lol)
can you say what's wrong with them?

The cartridge ejector ports are all on the wrong side, in real life, with some guns, that would mean a high risk of a right handed person getting a hot case in the face.

Who cares? I couldnt even figure out what was wrong until I read BTOG46s post. If you pay THAT close attention to detail, no game would be fun IMO.

Do you have something against Lefties? Seriously not everyone is right handed.

Dude I didnt even know there were left and right handed guns until I read this thread lol

I noticed this immediately. You don't have to be a gun expert neither. If you've seen an action movie or fired a gun before you know that doesn't look right.

I think the sole reason for it, much like in CS, was that it shows more "action" in the weapon. Basically it would make the weapon animations more bland. I fully intend to get a model replacement as soon as they're available.

And no Icecube, paying that close attention doesn't ruin a game. But I suppose it depends on the person. I, for one, saw this right off the bat, and figured most would too and casings flinging in front of your face doesn't seem right, yes?

Well dude ive never fired a gun before so honestly I dont know much about guns which is probably why I didnt notice that.

They should fix it

Yes I noticed it, and its awfull. Maybe more expectacular or maybe an easyer animation, but i don't like it.

I can confirm there is a fix to correct the ejection ports and Im proud to be the first to inform you all about it.

To fix the ejection ports so they are on the right, please rotate your monitor 180 degrees in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.

The ejection ports will now be on the right

gotta try this one out, for sure.. thx for the tip Ice

(..your solution would give a whole new meaning to bagging as well.. )

btw, Ice you've got 666 posts .. what does this tell us..?!

Or you could face your monitor into a mirror and play it, LOL.

Anyway, I understand what their trying to do. They want you to see the ammo flying out and the character relaoding/cocking the gun but as G4tv said in there lastest preview "Under the Radar", "FC2 is a simulation game".

It should be fixed.

Far cry 2 is a simulation game?wow, do they actually know what realism is? this game is looking pretty unrealistic game play wise.

The only way they could make it realistic is adding bullet ballistics, and wouding for certain areas of the body( limping when shot in the leg, death upper chest and head, and worse aiming when shot in the arm, stuff like that) they would also have to add more recoil to the weapons and model the weapons correctly.

Im sorry far cry 2 devs but this is just another run and gun shooter like any other game on the market and not a simulation.

Hmmm I guess this issue is a problem for some folks...sad. I certainly don't have any privy info but my guess is they feel it might look better ejecting brass more toward the cennter of the screen..maybe for aesthetic purposes. I could be wrong (and Im sure you'll all will tell me ) cause its been awhile but didn't STALKER's weapons do the same?

no. Maybe it's because I'm not a gun person, but I had no idea this stuff existed.

hmmm sure sounds easy enough to fix. Maybe we'd get the game in oh I don't know....maybe stardate 3743.4.

didn't notice. don't care.

i would only care about this if it was in real life.
when i was in the military i used a right handed gun since i am a right handed guy, but i did have to switch guns with a fellow soldier once at the range since my gun malfunctioned and i needed to finish a 30 bullets magazine. he lent me his let handed m16 and the cases used to pop out on my left arm and into my face. not comfortable.

BUT since this is not real life i dont give a poo.

doesn't matter as long as it doesn't interfere with the gameplay
