There may have been other threads on this. Looked around for a minute, but didn't see any.

Basically though it's seemed to me that hip fireing in this game is much stronger than in other shooters I have played. With the sniper rifle, the spread from hip fire is a small white pixel that dosnt expand no matter how you move. It's perfectly accurate without sighting in. So what's the point of aiming down sights with it? Maybe in some situations if you need the zoom or something. But it's perfectly acurate without the extra .33 seconds, so for most situations, why would I bother. Also, with assault rifles, Im able to crouch and hip fire accurately across most maps with comparable accuracy to ADS. With the smg, I have just been letting it rip from the hip and still landing the majority of my shots for close and medium range battles. I checked my accuracy on the stats site and it was 38%. Not bad for hip firing with smg. In fact to me it seems that the hip fire feels very over powered compared to other games I've played. I don't mind it, it's actually kind of fun. Just figured I'd mention this observation and get some takes from the community.

I have to agree on this one. Play any other shooter and hipfire the entire time. You might get a few kills if you're lucky. Hipfire the entire time on Brink. You will get many, many kills, depending on what gun you use. The stability on almost all of the guns is high, giving you a small reticule, thus a smaller spread. Can't say I want it nerfed, though.

It certainly suits this game. Makes all the running about actually effective.
