Hip fire is ridiculous

[Raszak]

This "type" of hipfire has been in the game for a while, but I can't take it anymore, it's simply dumb. Im tired of walking all around with the sight aimed because the hip fire isn't reliable. Im not asking a 100m accurate hip fire, but by the love of god, its hard to hit anything past 5m because of the sway.

I agree in that because it's so inaccurate everyone snipes people from point blank. The one redeeming thing is the red dot lasers in that at least with those you can see where bullets are going.

~50 % of targets I kill with hipfire. It's properly balanced.

You need to practice, it's possible to be good with hip-fire.

I've been killing people with machine-guns when hip-firing. If anything AR/SMG guys have it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy with their laser guns.

It requires practice like anything in this game. I can reliably use it on ~10 meters. Use laser sights if you really want to hipfire.

I've gotten pretty good with hipfire. It's requires a strange virtual hand-eye coordination that can be learned with some time and skill. It's actually helped my irl hand-eye coordination a bit

Hipfire is great, never had any problems with it i can hit most shots with ARs smgs pistols and shotguns, you should practice in Pve and firing range with it

[Redscale83]

Like said you just need practise. I always hipfire to 10 meter range. You can practise using the laser sight.

Hipfiring is not very good with weapons that have high horizontal recoil. With them you can equip the Compensator to improve hipfiring.

Insurgency has the best hipfire of all video games !

Hip filre (or non-ADS file, whatever) is actually very satisfying in this game, because it shoots where your in-game gun model is pointing, at all times.
So it's not trickering you and you can become very good at it.

One thing to consider is that there is a "floating" dead zone (ala Infiltration or Operation Flashpoint), I suggest you use a laser pointer to get the feeling of it, then you take it off when you're more used to it.

"It needs practise" Yeah, sure. The pattern is completely random and the guy holding the gun seems to have ropes instead of arms because he cant keep the gun pointing straight. In the source one and in sandstorm back in the beta I could easily get kills hipfiring, now it isnt just reliable enough to hipfire instead of aiming down sights
