Suggestion: Server side limit to fire-rate

[Basih 115]

Hey,

 

As title states, I think it would be great idea to implement a server side limit to how fast you can fire, effectively rendering trigger bots less effective. Since this wouldn't affect the legit players I think it's a great solution to the trigger bot problem.

Anyway, up for discussion.

I don't think this would help the trigger bot problem at all.  The game does already limit your fire rate.  You can't fire faster than the gun allows even with a trigger bot.

But it dosen't limit the rate of fire enough! A Carbine shouldn't able to fire faster than an NTEC.

?? It doesn't.

 

Why do people still think macros and hacks somehow make a gun shooter faster then it's programmed to.

The carbine rewards those that can click fast and time their shots right, that would be an issue of the carbine's balance, not a trigger bot issue.  A game's weapons should never be balanced around cheats.

Not sure how but they do. Is not lag either.

I don't know what to tell you, but they don't. 

If you've ever used a macro before you'll notice that you can shoot "faster", but if you pay attention to the ammo count you'll see you are ghost shotting  a lot.

I really don't get how this is supposed to help against trigger bots... Aren't you talking about macros instead ?  In this case, macros are pretty useless because clicking fast won't help you fire faster with a carbine.

You can always tell who is bad at the Carbine by them thinking you spam click it to get max fire rate.

The problem with carbine macros is that macros can click at a consistent max fire rate pace, whereas humans can't possibly do that constantly. They're bound to mess up every now and then even with a LOT of practice. This is why a macro carbine will always win against a non macro carbine when no mis-aiming is involved. This makes it fall under the category cheating, and it's why it's bannable.
