Self bink = spray...

I thought self-bink was an attempt at stopping spraying?

Spraying is the predicted shooting with any weapon with the intention of hitting someone before you see them...

Take run for example. You have a better spray with self bink auto then with a steady steyr...

I dont mind it, but i dont understand why self bink had to be implemented...

I think it really does prevent spraying. One such example would be ctf_Viet. Many people go trigger-happy (holding it! HAH!) over the hill. The longer they hold the button, the more off-course their bullet goes. Getting hit by one self-binked bullet won't be as critical as getting hit by 4 bullets that were sprayed in a straight line.

Um....I don't think the mini has self bink. It just has the built in random shot. Doesn't change. In fact, I can usually compensate for it by flicking the barrel up and down while shooting. Makes it a really powerful weapon ^_^.

Selfbink works just fine in my opinion..
For example in Ak bink is so big, that you can't spray, maybe like 5/20 shots may hit a target, after the bink is at maximum..

Shady I totally agree. Self bink is a bad idea, we already had realistic mode. Self bink should not be the default mode of this game. Seems like the beta testers had their own agenda, and couldnt put their biases down for the good of the game.

I think self-bink was a good idea, because it stops spraying and makes the auto's more skill-orientated weapons. If a few stray shots hit someone, it's less likely to kill them then a stream of bullets is, it would only kill them if they had very low health. I can't think of a good reason not to have self bink (if you can, please tell me)

Minigun does have selfbink.

Thats why it doesnt fly around as fast as the one in 1.2.

People keep saying that the self-bink prevents spraying, but, if anything, I've seen it significantly increase spray. Now on maps like maya and viet, people are just standing at the top of hills with either a minimi or an mp5 (which, oddly enough, is more effective) and just obliterating everyone because they don't have to aim.

I never thought I'd be another whiner about the weapon changes, but here it is: I enjoyed the reliability of an accurate weapon much more than the frustration of being unable to hit someone who's standing right in front of you.

Now if I could only find a server that's running the old weapon settings, I'd be happy as pie with the rest of the changes in the new version.

well, i'm debating running a server with 1.2.1 weapons, but i dunno if i'd actually get a large response to it.

Some of testers said that due to the lowered damage, spray wasn't a problem any more. For some reason they said the automatics were dominant in groups, and decided to bring in self bink.
Viet and Maya are gross maps anyway.
