Absolutely trash recoil

[The Notorious MSG]

The recoil in this game is complete and utter garbage. As soon as you fire two rounds the reticle is at full bloom and at that point good luck trying to hit anything that isn't right in your face. Tap firing doesn't work either since like I said it takes a very small amount of bullets for the bloom to start kicking in so you'll just be tracing an outline around the enemy on the other side of the room even if you're using the rifle. Couple this with the fact that enemies always seem to move just slightly faster than you can aim at them even in slow mo which means that between that and fighting the recoil you'll empty entire magazines right next to a guy's head despite excessively dragging the mouse to try and move it one more pixel so you can hit your target.
If I'm a super soldier that can literally twist guys' heads off with his bare hands why can't I fire a weapon for more than 2 seconds without looking at the sky due to the recoil? Reticle bloom needs to GOOOOOO, people have been complaining about this since the first demo.

Pistol and shotgun don't have this issue

please check gameplay videos and adjust your playstyle because it seems that you go gun blazing instead of using the game mechanics that are supposed to be used

mf wants the guns to be automatic laser pointers

You're not wrong. You have to get right up in people's faces to do any kind of lethal damage. Try to keep a few grenade handy. Also dip in and out of slow-mo to line up a shot, that works for me.

Honestly I bloody hate it when people reply with "skill issue" to criticism.

But then you said this.

You uh, you might not be the target audience for this game if aiming in slow-mo is too much of a challenge.

That being said, while I did not experience the same issues with recoil that you describe, in general I will agree that the game mostly wants you to do the following:
- Get up close and personal (rather than engage over long range, mostly)
- Not use the SMG and often the assault rifle (most common enemy weapons) so that you don't just get infinite ammo for a reliable gun.

Pistol(s) and DMR are your long-range weapon choices. They're not *quite* as accurate as you'd want them to be but they work.

I only use the pistol and shotgun because they're the most reliable for me
The SMG recoil limits it to very close range yeah

[Psycho Pie]

I use shotgun as my main weapon and minigun as an alternative weapon against beefy ennemies. It works for me.

click to delete heads works well in this game idk what you are on. for guns like smg, you dont use the crosshair, you look at the stream of bullets and adjust it to reach were you want
