Actually, I've felt that there's something I can't put my finger on about the "feel" of shooting. I agree that weapons sound much better now. I don't think that's the issue. I'm tempted to think it's something subtle like AV cues to registered hits. I'm not talking about "artificial" feedback like a BF-style X, but in II it was at least obvious when connecting shots from a combination of animations (audio impact sound if close enough) and visual (blood puff). It was far from perfect (!) but it had a feel to it that I've also been missing a bit from III. Maybe I'll get accustomed to it ...or I'm just missing all the time :P

As far as I can see the thread has run in circles because a bunch of posters have tried, rather unsuccessfully, to explain why in their opinion they are concerned about various game mechanics in their current state and it's been denied, explained away and argued with at every turn. Apparently repeatedly trying to explain and justify their viewpoint is unacceptable but repeatedly telling them it's better this way, to ignore it or fix it themselves is ok. :confused: I first started playing these games with OFP over 10 years ago but I don't yet have a strong opinion on III as I've not played it enough. However, as much as there are many great steps forward early impressions lead me to understand and even share the concerns of the so-called "whiners" that there are also steps back from standards set by the series to date. Although I would like to think its unfinished state means progress will be made in these areas by BIS (so negativity can be a little excessive), shouting them down is not helpful at all. I don't at all understand how it can be accepted that a game is unfinished, yet argue things are fine, working as intended and people have no right to be unhappy with current state. It's probably beyond help now but as for "close this thread" etc, just don't post in it if you don't see the point of it. Not hard.
