Shooting sucks

[illuknisaa]

Postal 2's shooting just plain suck which sucks cause' the game has lots of shooting in it.

Everything lack kick, decent sounds and in firefights I feel like im just trading hits.

I hope this gets patched, there is mod to fix this or the next game devs make is better.

Gonna have to agree with this, the enemies are just bullet-sponges and even headshots don't kill most of the time (especially when using a Shotgun up close, usually takes 2 hits!) and the damage/recoil/sound and the looks of the guns sucks. Would be awesome to see the weapons getting updated!

cant aggre
for me it is naer battlefield 4 experience

So battlefield 4 sucks too? There where a lot of issues with bf3 but atleast the guns were good. It sad to see that they ruined the only good part in bf4.

You're serious, right? This game came out in 2003... 11 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years ago...

Just let that run through your head for a moment... Nothing's going to change... It's an old game.

Dude, they just updated the game with multimonitor support (and bunch of other stuff).

Also it is important let other people know that if they are looking for a shooter this is not the game from them. Postal 2 has the worst shooting I've ever seen and I have played fo3.

I highly doubt they would drastically change the gameplay with an update. That kind of thing would be a re-release.
But yeah, I agree. The shooting element lacks a lot of polish.

[B Dawg]

The shooting is okay. What's wrong with the one in FO3 either?

then don't play it, there is alot of other games out there, personally i dont mind shooting people in this game, or cutting there heads off with a hedge trimmer, sick of people complaining over games made 11 years ago there are newer games, try them

[Dr. Thiccrespect]

Yes..

Ali G, I don't get why you are defending this? Being 11y old doesn't mean ♥♥♥♥ because better shooters were made before this (ut, doom etc.). If postal 2 was the first fps ever made then I could understand but it still wouldn't mean that it was good.

Is postal 2 a bad game?. No. It's a bad shooter but not a bad game.

Because the game was made 11 years ago. They coouldn't make super realistic guns with 'kick' and that kinda thing, and technically, it's not really a shooter since you can do SO much more things than just use the run-of-the-mill guns. Also, I'm pretty sure doing said changes aren't erally possible in this engine or, if they can, it would take a HUGE change in the game to make.

[illuknisaa]

The game uses the same engine as unreal tournament and killing floor.

Game is not a shooter? on monday you get into a shootout with SJWs, on tuesday you shoot bunch of tree huggers etc. Pretty much every npc is a trigger happy gunnut and guns are easily the most common weapon type.

Let me point out again that the game was just recently updated with multimonitor support, something that doesn't come as standard even in the newer iterations of ut engine.

It's not like the development for the game has ended or anything:

Support may not be over but it doesn't mean they're going to completely overhaul the engine. That's exactly what would be required and it simply isn't feasible for a game like this.
Adding some new content is very different (and much easier) than what it would take to improve the shooting mechanics.

You're really comparing RWS with the AAA game devs that made UT?
