I believe that NS2 could be vastly improved by slowing down the game play in a manner that utilizes iron sights.
Currently, as a player, I feel like my immersion is broken by the lack-luster gun play in the game. Watching marines bunny hop around while wildly firing their weapons
makes me feel disconnected, as if I'm playing Duke Nukem 3d or something.
What if you were watching the movie Aliens, and Sigorney Weaver started jumping around the aliens while shooting them like it was some kind of Saturday morning cartoon?
I'd turn that movie off right then and there.
There's a reason why AAA titles use realistic weapons while NS2 is going so broke that they've resorted to begging for funds. The gun play is sub-par. It's as simple as that.
I'm suggesting that they slow the game down, allow immersion to take hold. Slowly clearing rooms with your squad in a tense, realistic situation is a thousand times better
then running into a room until an alien attacks you, then bunny hopping around like some kind of jackrabbit until the alien is killed.
Think about it, lets bring NS2 to the modern era. I want to feel connected to my character, I want to feel immersed in the game. I want to bring up my sights, and slowly check
every corner. If an alien gets close to me, I deserve to die. It adds much more fear, and tension into the game.
Let me know what you think.
