HUNT SHOWDOWN BREAKS The Laws of PHYSICS In The NEXT UPDATE - Huuge

Crytek just revealed another part of their next update for Hunt: Showdown, and things are about to get WEIRD. We're talking bullets defying physics, patch notes that sound like they were written by Newton's WORST enemy, and a whole lot of head-scratching.
In this video, we're diving deep into the latest Hunt Showdown update, breaking down those controversial bullet physics changes (heavy bullets drop faster?! WHAT?!), analyzing the impact on gameplay, and questioning EVERYTHING we thought we knew about how this game works.

HUNT SHOWDOWN BREAKS The Laws of PHYSICS In The NEXT UPDATE - Huuge

[@Huuge]

What do you think about the new bullet drop and necro changes?? I read ALL comments 👀 Don't forget to watch LIVE at www.twitch.tv/huuge

[@BritishXXXAnarchy7]

I hate them

[@revelae]

necro good, bullet drop i agree with you. long ammo "dropping rapidly" is very dumb

[@quisor36]

The larger the barrel and the ammo used, it has more initial energy and better stability due to the rotatory action the long barrel provides to the projectile, so the larger the weapon and ammo it should be way more stable than a small barrel and small ammo, also the weight of the ammo makes it less reliable (Less weight more deviation due to the wind and other elements conditions)

[@Seyren121]

Bullet drop will not prevent obvious cheaters to stop cheating, but I do think it will make sneaky cheaters easier to spot Love your videos :)

[@benttoe]

Huuge is one of the few Hunt players that actually are confronting and questioning crytek and their decisions. Mad respect.

[@nibydcgrshbdcjd]

When air friction is important then the thing that is most important for the drop is something called the ballistic coefficient. This is essentially the mass divided by the cross sectional area of the object projected into the direction of motion. The short story is that given two objects that are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one will travel farther and drop less than the lighter one. You can think of the heavier object having more inertia/momentum available to push the air out of the way as it moves.

[@rameses4245]

Don't they sort of have this in the game now? FMJ bullets are heavier giving more headshot range. So now they're going to do the opposite if I'm understanding their "ballistics".

[@Dee4Dy]

Bullet drop for me: I am not in the mood to learn to play the game again after 2.000 hours. Today, Hunt for me is a relaxing game. I earned the exp to actually enjoy the game even after two weeks without playing it. Keeping this in mind, if I need to learn to play again, it won't as relaxing as it is today for me, and most likely I wll leave the game for good. I don't have the time to get better at the game in a consistent way. So... Nice Crytek! Screwing the most loyal and veteran players of the player base. Let's see how heavy is the drop, but... I am afraid

[@gtfomenow]

Gonna call it now. The bullet drop change is going to make or break the player base

The bullet drop isnt really a good idea, it's gonna turn a lot of the main playerbase away

Unpopular opinion maybe, but imho concertina bombs are one of the biggest reasons for stalemates. I, for example, dont run any explosives (i run 4 shots), so often i am just fucked when there is the concertina.

My problem with bullet drop is that hunt has an awful netcode in general (desyncs etc) and currently when I miss a shot I'm not sure if it's due to poor aim, poor velocity compensation or simply because of the ping difference between players. Bullet drop will add another complexity layer to this in a bad way

I fully agree with you. At least devs are trying things and ask us to let them know how it’s going afterward. Anyway, whatever they do, people will always find a way to shit on the devs.

[@theforgeryttv6449]

That's why I have given up on this game. Every time something is updated or changed, one part of the community ALWAYS complains no matter what and it leads to another problem. Now they're trying to appeal to new players to make up for the veterans leaving this burning dumpster fire in the hopes they can spend money for blood bonds.

[@bigus]

in defense of the critics, it sucks to love a game that started out really good and having developers make terrible choice upon terrible choice every update in ways that expose the fact they really have no idea what to do and don't really think through their changes....arbitrarily adding things that no one wants or needs.....lowering the skill ceiling to make the game noob friendly and less rewarding overall.....the real problem is that the game keeps getting worse and harder to balance because they just dont know how....they dont actually listen to any feedback maybe complaining will atleast wake up the community and eventually enough complaints will wake up the devs....but probably not

[@theforgeryttv6449]

@@bigus It was already clear when they ignored feedback on the test server and pushed out a update that was still filled with bugs. Their "promise" to ensure it never happened again was to simply not use the test server again since then. That's how telling Crytek is when it comes to handling feedback.

[@pimpsterpidgeon4502]

To play devil's advocate for the feather and hammer example, that was on the moon which has no air resistance that's why weight doesn't matter for the speed that objects fall. But on Earth, air resistance plays a "Huuge" factor as to when an object hits the ground. So technically a lighter bullet may potentially stay in the air longer (but probably be more erractic and innaccurate in its flight path) and a heavy bullet will be more straight but will land earlier than a lighter bullet because of the reduced effects of air resistance 🤓 Despite everything said, the fact that conversion pistol and uppercut both have the same drop range despite being different ammo types with this logic... makes no sense 😂

[@LeMicronaut]

Yeah, crytek have been really unhelpful with training and data gathering for Hunt for some reason. Not having every weapon in the shooting range, free roam doesn't allow weapons, store stats sometimes not even matching up with in game performance. I know the drop range stat is so they can add some "BS tuning" for things down the line, but it's about as wonky as the ammo size consistencies for damage, velocity, and falloffs across weapon platforms.

[@pimpsterpidgeon4502]

@@LeMicronaut I feel like drop range is just gonna add another stat for them to balance the whole game around which just creates more work for them honestly. But yeah it would be cool to have a better training grounds with all weapons and even moving dummies to help practice better.

[@r4tte]

​@@pimpsterpidgeon4502thinking the same! They are trying to Balance long ammo with that. But honestly, they already failed to Balance the weapon with the many options they already have. Adding another option is not a solution to their problem. It will add more balancing problems because the system is becoming more complex and they already prooved they can't handle the current complexity. My fear is that spammy weapons will become stronger because if you miss your shot you have many more tries in a short amount of time. More Dolch, Bornheim, officer carbine is not what the game needs in my opinion. Anyway, I will stay open minded about the change and See how it's playing out.

[@LeMicronaut]

@@pimpsterpidgeon4502 Yep. I think it's basically an escape plan for them to undo the bullet drop change if it's unpopular. There's already kind of an issue where snipers will just prefer compact and medium ammo marksmen with high velocity because it not only solves travel time, but bullet drop as well. Damage falloff and headshot multiplier already were basically instant death headshots and survivable body shots with medium and long ammo. The change at best makes its marginally difficult for 150m+ snipes and victims can kind of spam the general direction of a sniper with ANY weapon now and potentially kill them, which is...a debatably good change. Countering snipers should be about closing the distance and using the countless approaches blocked by tree canopies or just outright avoiding the player.

[@lastnamefirstname850]

Conversions n will have further drop distance because of it being light ammo probably. But to your point about drag,think about throwing ping pong ball and a tennis ball. More mass similar shape means that it will resist drag better. New ballistics will be whack and there is no reason to excuse them,only call them out.

[@MadaraUchiha-ng7gh]

As someone who has played since 2018 I'm not looking forward to this patch, I was already not excited for the MW2 clone UI and now they're adding bullet drop which is a mechanic I don't enjoy in most games unless they're singleplayer or is a sniper focused game. Fighting back against snipers at 100M+ was already a pain with Iron Sights and now feels like it's going to be even harder. Not really enjoying the direction the game is going I've already cut back heavily on how much I played this will most likely just be the nail in the coffin for me.

I think i see where you're coming from in the ballistics criticism but I think it might be a little misguided 1: weight does matter for bullets because of the air resistance on earth. 2: barrel length does affect range because it affects velocity, which is a main determining factor for ranges of a cartridge/gun Why they would consider the action type as another deciding factor is just a blatantly arbitrary gaming reason probably for balancing but if they want realism then this doesn't have anything to do with drop but would affect accuracy. Tbh this game has gotten pretty watered down in my opinion. I just gets easier to play by the update which sucks because I loved the level of grittiness it had. It was just enough to make it a good challenge but not as much as tarkov. I thought Fifield would be a great addition and he is for the lifespan of the game...but at what cost at this point? I'm just belly-aching over here though don't pay me any mind

[@pacific-codex3174]

Exactly this. That is why Huuge had to show a video from the moon to make his point because it does not work that way on Earth. I think the physics criticism has been taken too far. Agree with most of his other opinions.

[@rakzak479]

​@@pacific-codex3174Weight has no effect on being pulled down by gravity tho. If anything a heavier object retains more inertia and "cuts" more through air resistance. And than another factor is size/form which is very often confused with weight because bigger objects tend to be heavier - but the weight isnt the deciding factor but how the air slows the projectile cause of its size/form and the airresistance. Saying long ammo is heavier thats why it drops more is COMPLETELY bogus.

[@StewieGriffine]

Nobody in the community asking for this "feature's" Crytek: Hold my Bullet drop

[@Justjay114]

I am totally fine with bullets not being hit scan and you had to lead your shots. I actually enjoyed learning the sweet spot among the various ammo types and guns at long distances. But bullet drop adds a layer of complexity that is just not needed. This is not a sniper focused game nor a single player game. If it's not broke don't fix it!!

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

It was crazy how many people on the Hunt Discord do not understand that everything falls at the same rate regardless of weight. Muzzle velocity is the only direct factor on perceived bullet drop. Compact ammo typically has lower muzzle velocity due to the cartridges having small, pistol sized charges and primers. Long ammo has larger charges and primers to launch the projectile faster and farther. Th biggest issue people are saying is that bullet drop means you have to aim with iron sights ABOVE your target. What's below your sight picture. A big ass gun in your way.

[@BambeH]

On a perfect ballistic curve, sure, mass doesn't affect anything. However, whenever you incorporate air resistance into the mix, mass definitely has an effect on the drag coefficient. However, seems like Crytek messed up here as well, since lighter projectiles should overall decelerate faster, at least when of the same diameter.

[@LeMicronaut]

@@BambeH Finally some good physics. If you bust out the kinematic equations, unless they're greatly increasing the gravitational constant, the drop isn't more than a head until 75-100m at 300m/s, and that's with the heaviest ammo. That isn't even taking into account the grace range they give where there is no ballistic modeling. The iron sights which are raised/aperture are definitely going to be interesting to play with, now.

[@kdc420421]

Contrary to popular belief, BULLETS DO NOT TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE. They travel in an arched trajectory They WOULD begin falling as soon as they leave the barrel....except an ACTUAL ballistics trajectory has a small upwards arc to it. If you set your scope to 150 meters, your bullet is RISING for the 1st 150 meters of your shot to come UP to meet the point of impact. THEN after some time the bullet starts to lose upward momentum and begins to drop. OK with them simplifying and removing the "upstroke" and just starting dropoff at 60-150 meters on rifles but the Bigguns should be the ones that drop LATER not sooner.

[@acidrainacidrain9939]

If they want to help with aiming with bullet drop they had this in Battlefield 4 where you could still aim but use a button to adjust the range on the gun without having to aim to the clouds.

Cheaters will like the infinite headshot range for sure. Day 1 they will disable bullet drop, and start shooting people trough walls 1 hitting everyone, no more worries about penetration & distance dmg reductions.

[@distract_5871]

While bullet weight has nothing to do with being more affected by gravity and falling faster, it still affects the speed of fall for a different reason, but in a positive way, namely due to air resistance. An object with more mass loses speed slower due to its inertia than a lighter object with less mass, therefore it travels farther than the lighter object, making its trajectory curve less over a given distance. So if anything compact ammo would be more affected than long ammo if bullet drop were to be implemented properly.

[@Lost_Hwasal]

Witness is anti-rat. When you have a huge clusterfuck fight allowing you to clearly count the bodies left lets you know if anyone is left on the map. I have "cleared" a map, went to the 2nd bounty, and been sniped by a rat before. When you play on random teams its difficult to keep track of kills. Also, shadow leap is too strong.

[@cassianbarker4415]

As I always say, don't complain until you play it. I'm also a veteran who's been around quite a bit, but I see it as the developers trying to address user complaints while introducing new mechanics to continually update the game. I see nothing wrong with a small added touch of realism, even if it's a bit late. Besides, it means us veterans get a fresh start in relearning the game and new ways to play.

weird, the hunt i have played since beta has been breaking laws of physics always..

[@peikonpoika83]

The heavier bullet will drop more over a given distance, but not directly because of its extra weight. With everything else being equal (including the amount of powder in the case), the heavier bullet will exit the muzzle traveling at a lower velocity than the lighter bullet.

[@shark_de_mique]

​@@peikonpoika83true, but long ammo guns have a bigger case, so as a more aerodynamic shape in comparison to small/medium ammo guns and as you said more charge equals more power/speed/distance. Plus, there is no difference in the game and all long ammo is treated equally, but berthier/lebel/mosin used to have smokeless powder which is more effective than the black one used in sparks/martini. Oh, wait, it is actually present in the game. I mean a visual effect. That's hilarious. This change is actually stupid. They literally have a shell velocity as a game stat, so by their logic, Martini will loose altitude faster than a Nagant pistol

[@robertharris6092]

​@@peikonpoika83the bigger bullets are also fired with a larger powder charge giving them more jules per gram of mass. And the mass of the nullet would make it resist air resistance better (think throwing a baseball vs a ping pong ball) and thus resch the target fasterm thus fall less before reaching the target. Thus requiring you to aim less higher.

[@sirminty8495]

I stuck around in Hunt because the lack of drop. It really helped pistols stay good, and frankly, I hate bullet drop. I've played Apex, I've played Arma, and I just didn't care for bullet drop. And now they want to add it to Hunt. And what really pisses me off about this absolutely massive gameplay change is just dropped on us at the end of the video. They spent less time talking about drop than they did asking us not to be wildly speculative about it. 20 seconds is all they dedicated to talking about bullet drop. That's it. There's so much wrong with this. It's beyond stupid too with their interpretation of physics. Obviously, the weight of the bullet does not matter for gravity. And second off, if you wanna talk realism then the Mosin fires a bullet that is only .7 grams heavier than the bullet a winfield fires. Same size bullet. Spitzers are actually smaller than the bullet a winfield fires. But that's just semantics at this point. I really am just angry about the addition of drop and could spend a LOT more time ranting about how much I dislike the idea period and come August am going to likely play the game for one day, then stop, wait for the survey, and then likely quit if drop isn't removed. It is a deal-breaker for me. I've never been a fan of it, and loved that Hunt didn't have it. And it genuinely has me thinking of quitting entirely. That said, I like all the other changes to burning and chokes and traits. Necro remains the only one I question. I still think necro should have been split. A new trait for self revive for solos, and for necro have it channel even slower, and drain 50 health instead of 25. Or perhaps burn 25 health. The burn 25 health would have made a big bar up front much more valuable for necro. Single use burn trait though likely means I won't bother taking it for 4 points. That's a lot of trait points and a lot of good traits can be grabbed with that. I always brought necro before because it increased my value to the team a bit more. It was niche, but can definitely help in a few situations. Resilience was not spoken of at all, which is the trait I consider far more egregious as it cuts down on the weaker rifles harder, making long ammo better due to reliably downing a revived hunter, even with resilience.

[@AlexDeVrege]

Violets snarky opinion is irrelevant now, they gone xD

[@biancoziegler7618]

While i think muzzle velocity should definitly play a higher role, bullets are affected by aerodynamics. And if smaller calibers have a better weight/„uplifting surface ratio“ similar to wings, that could play a relevant factor for their decision. But again, i think muzzle velocity should have an higher impact, and thus long ammo should drop less in the same distance traveled.

[@lastnamefirstname850]

You have no idea what you are talking about. Drag is such a minor factor that it's almost insignificant. All that maters is velocity.

Everyone is just panicking so hard about this bullet drop thing, it's like everyone seems to think that after the bullet drop distant it's just going to fall out of the air or something...? Brother... no.... The bullet will BEGIN it's drop at the range it says, and continue on a GRADUALLY dropping trajectory. You want to hit a headshot at like 100m just aim like the tiniest bit above the head. In most general fights it's usually at short to mid-ish ranges, say like 0-150m at most I would say, There's definitely some longer fights but you get what I'm saying, At most average distance fights there will be most likely be not a lot of perceivable drop and should only require just the the smallest amount of vertical adjustment (Shoot forehead for a nose hit). I highly doubt that Crytek would make such a massive change to the game and make it shit awful, that would just be very unwise for their business, have some hope, don't be such a negative player. We don't even have it in our hands yet and people are already making ridiculous assumptions that it's going to be broken and hunt's dead and yada yada... This is stalker beetles all over again... then Shadow leap all over again... Every whinged and whined saying it was going to be broken and then of course when in play it really didn't make much of a difference. I have been enjoying a lot of the changes that Crytek has been making recently, minus a few of course- nothing is ever perfect, But their attempts at disrupting the very well established meta has been very welcomed, pushing the veteran players out of their cozy comfort loadouts and try something new instead of their mosin uppercut for the millionth time.

[@kazeem6419]

You can't compare this to the stalker beatle, like not even close. And I'm inclined to agree with you people are freaking out before we've even gotten our hands on it.

I never understood the logic behind changing something that is working fine for several years. They add 1 thing people wanted from years ago. Only for it to follow up with 100 other things that we don't want. Then for them to have the balls and audacity to say "suck it" even though they go against their own reasoning. The things I heard these CM say in their own discord always blew my mind when it comes to crosshair positioning. NOT CENTERED BECAUSE: - Prevents cheaters aimbotting. - Prevents pixel peaking. - Lets you see more on your screen. You can have the crosshair where ever you like, aimbot is still aimbot. You can have the crosshair where ever you like, if the camera is at the highest follicle of hair, that's where the dam bullet is going to come from. You can have the crosshair where ever you like, it does not matter if the gun is visible or not. It never made sense to why you would use an excuse to say it helps you see more when everything that happens in the dam fight is on the ground and not the dam sky. The only thing I collected through hearsay is that, apparently this team also worked on Halo. So they brought the same concept in to a competitive game without putting thought in to it, and then trying to defend that logic. Crytek has never had the brain to make sense of anything until it was too late. And even then would make it seem like you are the one in fault. Mark my words. When centered crosshair comes, your entire screen will intentionally be blocked by the whole weapon, just so that they can say "see? I told you so".

standing up with full health is dumb.. necromancer makes dark sight noise.. why doesn't self res? self rez didn't need a speed increase. ammo drop is just a long ammo nerf. balancing factor to make all guns equal.. but yeaaaaahhh.. bullet weight decreases velocity, factored by powder charge and barrel length for powder burn.. i like the idea of bullet drop, but really wish they'd hire a weapons expert or at least get a consultant.

[@JJ-qw1vi]

bullet drop kinda feels they don't care much about whether the game is balanced, they just want it to feel new so people will come to play it during the event. some would stop playing because of balance/core mechanics being bad, but worry not there will be other big changes for people to try soon. necro nerf is good, other changes to burning and reviving is all fine, but don't you guys feel flare guns are op now? if people burn with lanterns, my teammate would be cool on the ground as long as I put somewhat pressure on the other team. but with flare guns, even if I win the fight relatively quickly, the teammate will only have half health bars left when I get him up. you call this "a chance to clutch and bring your team back to the fight"? sure all these wouldn't happen if I take choke bombs, but...

[@simple1000kg]

I wonder if Crytek got ballistics experts or physicists to advise the bullet drop implementation because there are a lot of factors to consider. I will say that weight of a bullet affecting the drop makes sense when you consider air drag in Earths atmosphere, but so does bullet shape, size, spin, velocity and maybe other factors too. Not to mention IRL bullets lose velocity over distance. Infinite headshot range will push higher bullet velocity usage even more and maybe will open up new meta picks, for example I believe borheim will become popular. But personally I would like to see a rework with solo hunt experience. It is kinda weird to match against 3 star players as a 5 star player. I mean it is fun to wipe the lobby but you are creating unfair experience for others. And for necromancy I would have enjoyed more to see duo self revive and trio self revive mechanics over current implementation. Self reviving makes gameplay feel more consistent in cases when you get headshotted by a lucky shot. I was downed many times by a lucky shot then got up and wiped the trio or duo that downed me. Playing in a team and not having such an option definitely takes away from Hunt: Showdown experience.

[@mehrunez4838]

The burn change has cause some of my longest time playing friends to quit. I agree with their sentiment as too why. Hunt isn't COD, it's slower and should have stayed that way. If you want to sit and stare at a body burning that was a choice. Now Someone dies and burns out in what...60 seconds or so? The amount of ways to burn is higher then ever. Having played since pre 1.0 I still can't bring myself to insta burn like is so common today. Just how it is, I see more veteran players quitting then staying or joining.

[@comet_fodderyt]

The long ammo is heavier thing makes even less sense when you consider that all of the long ammo guns except for the Sparks and Martini Henry (pretty sure it's just those two) fire smaller, lighter bullets than all of the medium ammo guns in the game. The Sparks (or in the real world, the Sharps) fires the same caliber bullets as the Springfield, and the Scottfield (Scofield), and probably the Pax. .45 caliber was really popular back in the day. Even the Vetterli fires a bigger bullet (10.4mm) than the Mosin Nagant (7.62mm), at least in regard to diameter.

[@ralphmalph5191]

I'd have more respect if the devs had the guts to just delete sniper weapons from the game instead of soft-killing them to uselessness. They constantly add camo, cover, and environmental effects destroying sightlines, now bullet drop targeted at long-guns?! Next they'll nerf shotguns more because they encourage compound camping. Just make medium range guns the only option and call it COD 1895 already. FFS, focus on cheating, not bullet drop.

[@geelhard]

That drop rate goes totally against Ballistics. The barrel length is the only true thing concerning ballistics. Though a say 12-inch shorter barrel is only going to change velocity by about 120 FPS. Plus most of the long ammo (this IRL) the bullet is going to be going faster than short or medium ammo. SO in IMHO, this bullet drop conception of there's is FUBAR!!!!!!! 0

[@fiddlefaddle4232]

Perfect example of the bad side of games as a life service. It changes over time so much and strays far from its roots.

I think given the evident talent of their developers the bullets will fly backwards in space AND time. I wonder what is the business-oriented reasoning behind this.

[@jasado7908]

Bullet drop is a retarded idea at a minimum, unless they announce far superior tic rate servers. Just like ping abuse makes trades worse, bullet drop makes (already bad)hit reg worse. Also, this nerfs mosin and long ammo rifles from 1 tapping campers at range, or one tapping previously killed hunters because of drop, which inversely buffs close range spam, dualies, shotguns, scopes, and spitzer/HV rounds. All widely seen as problematic balance concerns. All bullet drop smells like to me is more unasked for dogshit benefitting the worst players, or intentionally adding a feature 9 million times worse than anyone who supported the concept being added. (Trades, slugs). Crytek has a terrible record with "experimental" changes and often refuse to fix the game they themselves break for insanely long periods of time. Hard to trust.

[@Lost_Hwasal]

Barrel length affects the velocity of rounds as they come out the front, so it would affect "drop". And when he says action type, revolvers have slightly less velocity because of cylinder gap as their chamber isn't fully enclosed, could be what he is referring to. As far as the velocity changes go, i think they are trying to make this more difficult for snipers. Shooting a plain mosin in a compound or even from a compound to just outside a compound the gameplay should be the same. Trying to beam someone 400m away with an ironsight mosin is going to be almost impossible now, which is fine imo. This also might might it more difficult for aimbot (but i aint a hacker so who knows).

[@cassianbarker4415]

I feel everyone is being too harsh right now. As I ALWAYS say, don't complain until you play it.

Toughen up you snowflakes and try it yourself before you go complain.

[@TheWujuStyle]

I can't overstate how much I hate the bullet drop. I would be sad if they just added normal ballistics and sight adjustment, but this frankenstein version of physics is just insanely bad. The burning and necro changes I like, but I would like Necro to be reusable if you loot a hunter or banish a boss. The bad parts of necro were tanking MMR by chain reviving, and the necessity to waste a ton of time burning down every solo or suspected solo. If it recharged on player loot/banish, that part would still be solved but solos would still have access to self revive throughout the match at approximately ~1 use per fight, and if they're out for some reason (maybe someone downs you and runs away or catches you in a bad position and it's you who has to disengage after getting up), they can still go kill and banish a boss and they'd end up in the same position as a full team that survived a fight earlier in the match, banished a boss and got the full teamwide restoration (except there is one of you lmao).

[@hungryhedgehog4201]

I find it incredibly stupid that low load, low velocity, high caliber pistol rounds somehow have less drop than something like a 7.62x54R spitzer a round literally designed to increase flat firing range. Drop should be a per ammo thing, some of these guns still use old blackpowder which burns at a lower velocity than the smokeless powder guns like the lebel, krag or mosin use.

[@bjoernlund85]

I think bulletdrop will be healthy for the meta, but i also think sniping with most rifles will be horrible from that on. tbh long distance sniping is already something you really have to learn and has lot of factors like luck in it and now that? maybe they add wind with different strengh also into the bayou to fuck up gunplay even more xD and btw The heavier bullet will drop more over a given distance, but not directly because of its extra weight. With everything else being equal (including the amount of powder in the case), the heavier bullet will exit the muzzle traveling at a lower velocity than the lighter bullet.

[@stever786]

I get what you mean about velocity being the only real-world indicator of drop rate, but I'm okay with barrel length being tied to drop rate as well simply because in real firearms, a shorter barrel does tend to decrease range *specifically* because the bullet is leaving the barrel at a lower velocity than it would out of a longer barrel. I do wish Crytek would be a little clearer in their in-game descriptions and reasoning (or get someone who understands IRL firearms to write them). Not a fan of the "big bullets weigh more" argument because, again, so much depends on the exit velocity.

[@maxtugger1859]

I think what concerns me most is if pistols have a large drop off from 15m. I don’t know about PC players but as a console player, lining up a head shot in a fast shoot out is not as easy as centre mass, but imagine that your in a fast close quarter shoot out (25m and under?) and aim for centre mass but which at 25m and under is still a easy shot even with controllers, but, you hit the legs because of bullet drop. I do understand putting drop off in game but it needs to be reasonable other wise you might as well use a long ammo rifle and melee weapon every time.

[@richardcreasey9319]

The change to bullet physics doesn't make any sense. Barrel length, amount of propellant, and the projectile's aerodynamics are what matters when it comes to determining the bullet's muzzle velocity. It's a little baffling that crytek would go with ass backwards logic on this.

[@Bllksem]

8:10 Obviously they're breaking the laws of physics here, but I think the goal is to make long ammo snipers suffer a little more from drop at longer ranges to keep them from being too powerful. What this probably means is that vetterli marksman with high velocity might become one of the better sniping options because you minimise the drop a lot (not long ammo, fast velocity). They can't just reduce the velocity of long ammo below medium or compact because that would make no sense and also would be a massive balance change that very few people would like. What they could instead do is make the long ammo velocity drop off at very long ranges and when the velocity drops off the bullet obviously falls at a perceived faster rate. They could say that's because of air resistance or smth and it would at least make a more sense. 8:59 Sorry in advance for being the uhm actually guy, but barrel length has a lot to do with velocity which has a lot to do with perceived drop. The expanding gasses from the gunpowder can only accelerate the bullet while it is in the barrel, so if you make the barrel longer the gasses can push for longer which makes the bullet faster even with the same amount of gunpowder being burned. This obviously has diminishing returns because the gunpowder will eventually stop burning and stop pushing as hard. With drop, a bullet that travels 1m down for every meter forwards will appear to drop 2x faster than the bullet that drops 1m for every 2 meters forwards in the same time frame. The pull from gravity is obviously the same, so both are pulled down at 9.81m/(s/s), but the faster bullet will get to the target sooner and will fall less because it's not falling for as long. Action type has more to do with allowing a gun to take more powerful rounds without exploding. This is why 50 cals are bigger and heavier than smgs, you just need a lot more steel or steel that is better supported in the way to hold in the explosion from the gunpowder. At the end of the day none of this really matters because game balance is more important, but I can't help myself and I need to explain. Imo bullet drop will be fine as long as it doesn't make scopes compulsory.

[@infamousjack3524]

For everyone saying that the bullet drop makes sense due to the weight really need to get educated on how firearms work. The amount of people defending this logic shows severe amounts of ignorance and pandering.

[@swimmingeagle5001]

I think it would be much cooler if they implemendet bullet drop in a different way: make long ammo actually drop less than the smaller ammo types but give every ammo type the same damage-falloff long ammo currently has; this would ensure that long ammo remains the best ammo type because it would be the most accurate and easy to use, while also giving compact and medium ammo a chance to fight back at longer ranges and stop them from just beeing hitmarker collectors.

I just feel like we are going to see more people jumping around and side strafing, feels like long range engagements are gonna be pretty dead, rng is going to play a lot more of a factor which is already annoying to die to in hunt.. at least when quickscoping and swapping actually played a skilled factor and wasn’t just rng. It’s a weird direction to change to but I’m keen to have a look.

guns are always zeroed to a predefined distance - say 100m - so if you want a headshot at 25m with a mosin, I'd have thought you should aim for the upper torso. in other words, only having bullet 'drop', and not 'rise' too seems weird. I may be wrong...I do get things wrong a lot:)...so the solution really could be to allow us to zero our guns - maybe iron sighted ones at least - snipers could perhaps have a set zero of 150 if they wanted to limit us, so we adjust accordingly from there with our aim.

They should add something that prevents players from staying at the exact same bush for 30min waiting for another player to cross his path. For exemple : if you move less than 10meters/minute for at least 5min, you start shaking and having cramps and making noise, or some flies start coming around you, or something that would make other players approximalty know your position. And of course they couldn't move in the same (let's say 5meters) radius and just make little circles to avoid to move, that would be great imo because that would add a faster pace to games without preventing people the possibility to play stealthy to get to fights or objectives. The problem is not players that move slowly, but ones that don't move at all.

The necro change as a solo only kills my interests. It already takes 10m or more to find a decent fight most games. And another 5 to 10 to leave if you win. The games issue is the complete lack of player interaction for a lot of time every match. It shouls be 24 players Not 12.

the rate of drop does get affected by gravity in an atmosphere due to air resistance. its the same reason that a golf ball falls faster than a feather in an atmosphere. that being said compact is lighter therefore would be affected by air resistance more than long ammo. In atmosphere velocity would probably make a bigger difference than weight, drop rate wise. it seems like what they did was just try and match drop rates between weapons in a rather round about way that is rather poorly implemented since it will probably shit on several weapons heavily. Also poorly implemented entirely because the drop starts after the range designated.

I’m not defending crytek, they are always making dumb changes. But that physics section - the hammer and feather drop at the same rate on the moon because they are in a vacuum. Including that footage was pointless. The reason that test was done is because our planet has gravity and an atmosphere. The moon has far less gravity and no atmosphere. If you drop a feather and a hammer in your bark yard, the hammer falls faster. I get that long ammo dipping faster is dumb, but the physics explanation was also pretty stupid. It kind of supported Cryteks bullet drop theory

90% of fights happen under or around 100 meters and so few times have i seen any kills above 150 meters if it is just going to feel the same with the iron sights at to a max 100 meters and slightly less for up to 150 i dont mind the sniper range that has scopes (and cant really shoot with ironsights) to have a drop that is more noticeable Edit: but again the old statement sounds very true still to how the game is today and i really dont believe it should change although if done right its a good addition
