Shotgun Bug
« on: September 15, 2007, 09:46:06 pm »
Think is simple to explain, and try out yourself.

Get the shotgun, and get to the point where u reload after every shot, now aim straight down, and fire while you're jumping, and do that a couple of times, a lot of times, it will fire to the side, and not down at all, if needed, I'll post a video, it happens all the time when I try.

Also, In CTF B2B or something like that, the bridges come up only half way, what settings do I change to correct that?

Edit: I have a Savage card, great... >_>

If you fire the shotgun while reloading, it will always fire straight to whatever side you are facing.

That's what I'm saying, isn't that an error? How am I supposed to "drop in" and fire the shotgun at the opponents on the ground? Firing to the side is useless, thus, why I'm reporting this as a bug, the shot should go in the direction at least, of where you're aiming.

It's been known through out the past few versions, and has become a part of the shotgun itself.  I actually don't mind it to much, due to the fact it's easy to counter (plus it helps tone down the already overpowered weapon).  While reloading just lightly tap your grenade key, and you'll stop reloading so you can aim your shot.  You can also go prone, but taping the grenade key is much faster.

The reason it happens is because all of the weapons when reloading are held horizontally. And because of the way the Spas12 reloads, if you try and fire (with at least 1 shell already reloaded) whilst you're already loading the next shell it will fire in the possition it's held while reloading.

It's a good thing in my opinion.. it helps prevent shotgun abuse... you know.. Fire, reload 1 shell, fire, reload 1 shell... it doesn't take much longer than the interval between 2 normal shots.
