CE Pistol Accuracy

[Serrated Silver]

Is it me, or does the pistol feel completely unreliable at any range longer than a foot? It's really affecting my enjoyment of the game, and as far as I can recall, it wasn't like this in CEA on the 360.

I'm aware of the framerate spread bug, and as a result am playing capped at 60fps. Even then, first shot accuracy feels terrible at range. It's possible I just suck, but I don't have these same issues with the Reach DMR/Magnum. Is it just me?

The Magnum has a projectile bulllet, so you need to aim ahead of the opponent

The game came out in 2001, expecting it to have perfect accuracy at long ranges is expecting too much. That said, I haven't really had any issues sniping grunts at medium-decently long ranges even on Legendary.

In MP, I think it's more latency issue rather than inaccuracy.

If I remember right, if you fire rapidly with the magnum by clicking multiple time, the game register it as if you were just going full auto due to the input delay.

Thus your shot spread like hell unlike the Original where that happened only when kept your finger on the trigger.

I noticed that also. standing almost 5 feet from a jackal and aiming at the hand hole of the shield, it rarely hits with the pistol. but with a plasma pistol it hits every time. also I ran the first mission pillar of autumn for par time. it gave me the medal for truth and reconciliation par time.

All of these people are wrong. The magnum is bugged in the PC port of this game, it was incorrectly coded when it was being ported from the Xbox. Since the original Gearbox PC port is the base for every version of CEA, it has not been fixed and remains broken.

Found a video on another thread that explain it very well.

Also for thus who say that it's mean to be this way or that it's a voluntary decision from 343, Its this way only on m+kb, controller users (and player on xbox) don't suffer from this.
