Fire cap?

Post » Tue Aug 17, 2010 7:09 am

Well, here's yet another question. (Omgz)
Will Crysis 2 have a low fire-rate cap on semi-automatic weapons (like the pistol)?

I like to think I have a quick "trigger finger", and I was wondering how fast I could actually shoot these weapons in the game.

A lot of other games on consoles tend to have fire-rate caps to prevent people using modified controllers to abuse semi-auto balanced guns (shooting a handgun at 1200rpm for example), but I always end up hitting these caps :\
Although I'm aware they probably don't want people shooting these guns at ridiculous speeds and braking balance with their fingers either.

I love whipping out a handgun and using it like an assault rifle :)
(keep your mind clean)

So, the question is - fire cap?

As you pointed out, the whole point of capping fire rates via code is to prevent people from cheating by using 3rd party software/hardware to perform inhumane firing rates. History of the CryEngine (with its maximum fire rates implemented through weapon XML files) suggests that there will be a fire rate cap.

Will this affect certain weapons in Sp?

It's entirely possible and easy for weapons in Crysis to have virtually no fire rate cap, but the cap there is for balance.
We don't want anyone to easily make a macro which makes the left mouse button get pressed once every millisecond, do we? :)

Just hope they address this sooner, or just for Mp. players to keep the balance.

Well, I hope there's none for single player at least.
I loved it when people sent me messages on CoD4 telling me how I'm a f***** for using a modded controller.
I took it as a compliment because they've obviously never seen someone shoot as fast as me <3.

I suppose I wont know how low the cap's are until I've played it though.
I hope they're not too low like every CoD game after 4 :/
