Blasters in Star Wars don't fire light. They fire plasma bolts, so there is actually a recoil to them. They do emit light, but its not a laser beam. The light you see is simply because the material is so extremely hot that it radiates light, similar to a star.

[@MsOpium]

There is recoil because it shoots out energy at a high velocity. The plasma bolts themselves are near-massless but will recoil just from the sheer energy needed to fire it.

Highly recommend this mod if anybody is on the fence, the amount of work put in is astounding... there are like 18-19 separate maps, tons of layers for said maps, so many classes, it's just amazing. After experiencing the mod I would honestly buy it for $20-30 if not more.

[@SternLX]

14:40 It's not a hit box issue Drew. Squad pays attention to Sight over Bore. It's why your crosshairs are on target but the barrel of the weapon is lower than that and you end up hitting the ledge instead. Found out I have to be more aware of the end of my barrel in Squad a long time ago.

[@Siggorillo]

I think he means the hitbox of the mountain. Looks a bit wonky.

[@Lord_Baphomet_]

Further proof that when you actually love an IP it shows in your work and the community will support you.

[@smjsuperscott]

I think that blasters are plasma casters not laser rifles, but it is still a tad odd having that much recoil on them :P

[@tevarinvagabond1192]

It's not odd...for one, it's the gas being expelled that causes the recoil, and secondly...even if somehow it wasn't accurate, it's there for game purposes as they actually wanted weapons to be hard to aim to change up how you play this mod vs how you play normal Squad. Harder to control weapons gives a more cinematic feel, and encourages suppression and mass wave attacks that model how combat is portrayed in Star Wars!

[@MartinTraXAA]

@@tevarinvagabond1192 Frankly, more games in the genre of squad\HLL etc should do similar. Every single damn rifleman being a cool rock-steady deadshot just isn't fun nor really that realistic.

[@Underground3]

Which explains the stormtrooper aiming lol

[@smjsuperscott]

@@MartinTraXAA I think making the accuracy of a non ballistic weapon a little lower is probably the better route. I also think with the gas generation and expulsion there should be some recoil, just not as much for "realism". As a game I don't mind though

[@smjsuperscott]

@@Underground3 the force actively nudging them off mark is the lore, so this is just that seen directly :P

[@BRN2BNDAIR]

Bro, the sound from the heavy artillery at this time stamp 10:48 🤤😍🤩

[@DL-zv5xc]

I'm not astonished from that gameplay, rather the amazing map design! Of course giant open areas that seem open but actually feel pretty fair in terms of visibility is nice, but i'm mostly talking about the neat things, like how going up the cliffs as a jetpack user uses almost all of your charge, like it was made for it (It probably is!) Too short, and jetpacks will have excess mobility to get up to them and wreck havoc the moment they get up there, or too big and making it extremely difficult to get there in the first place!

well the droids had clear camo advantage since it seems like they still haven't implemented camos for clone troops

[@uwingy669]

to be honest its kinda unfair bcs the clones are white armored in the middle of red environment, where the droids are more perfectly colored for it, with how Drew having a hard time looked the friendlies coming in

[@darthnihilus2729]

I mean, that's pretty realistic. It's actually easier for the clones in this mod because in Geonosis the droids were painted dark brown in order to better blend in with the desert terrain. Here, they are painted their standard beige color.
