Thread 725095298

Why do modern shooters do this??

Gay of duty did this because it's "le tacticool".

there's a whole twitter thread about it go talk to them

>>725095298 (OP)
I'm not a burger, how else are they supposed to hold a pistol?

>>725095298 (OP)
two of these looks like clipping errors

Like what? Upright? Are they upset the pistol is not being held sideways gangsta style? Or should it be held upside down Van Damme in Hard Target style?

>>725095298 (OP)
That, the C-clamp grip on rifles, and the faggy gremlin stance thats all hunched over. I hate it all.

Also low viewmodel fov.

>>725095438
left index goes on the slide, video games always get it wrong

>>725095505
that feels akward as fuck yeesh

>>725095298 (OP)
what am i looking for, the weird angle? the only time i've seen that IRL is when someone is cross-eye dominant and i'm 90% sure most game devs don't even think about that, someone just did it first and everyone copied it.

>>725095638
Once you get used to it it feels pretty natural, but yea going from the vidya grip it felt dorky af at first

>>725095505
What fucking grip are you using you /k/iddingyourself psycho?

>>725095807
The proper one

>>725095502
This, I make sure for every fps game I play that there exists either a viewmodel fov slider in game (rare) or a mod that lets me adjust the viewmodel fov. I fucking despise fps games where the character is holding the gun right up to their cheek

>>725095638
i think he's trolling. no part of your hand should be touching the slide when you fire.

>>725095590
Stop making me feel old.

>>725095834
If it's proper it should have a name

>>725095852
sorry I meant thumb but I had a brain fart

>>725095502
>C-clamp grip on rifles
Is that the one where you hold it from the top with your left hand?

>>725095505

So this is about trigger discipline? I don't know much about trigger discipline, but if you're in an active combat scenario, isn't that the point where it's okay to keep your finger on the trigger? Like, I get it at the range, and in training, and when walking next to your buddies, but if you're actively shooting (pic 4 is literally at an active range), are you still supposed to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to pull?
I always thought that by the time you are aiming, it is alright to have the finger on the trigger, and when you stop aiming, you move it off the trigger.

>make thread complaining about something that is done right
>lol look mom i'm an epic troll

>>725095885
Alright, gay but at least is real

>>725095945
>realism is good because......BECAUSE IT IS OKAY???

>>725095906
I meant thumb, I am a thirdworlder but has guns
>>725095948
It is gay but it feels good in practice

>>725096085
That is a thing, but it's a second thumb on the front part of the frame, not the slide itself

>>725095703
Early FPS games always have pistols positioned around the bottom corners of the screen. Nowadays it's just COD copycats/realism slops

>>725096192
I touch the slide and never got hurt or had movement issues

>>725096284
Early FPS games put all weapons in the center of the screen. Sticking the gun off to the side came with the 2nd gen of FPS.

I fucking hate this obsession in every fucking thing with "holding things properly". Hold the gun like this, hold the guitar like this, hold the chopsticks like this, hold the club like this. Fuck off, fucking HOLD MY DICK LIKE THIS. It literally doesn't fucking matter how you hold it. No the "proper holding technique" won't make you better. You lack skill and have to cope thinking you'll improve by fucking holding things better.

>>725096419
Tbf I held the gun 'wrong' and still shot better than most people for years before I had the range boomer tell me the proper way, if it works for you its fine

The 'proper' way only helped with quicker target acquisition

>>725096284
Why should they be on the corner
What sense does that make

>>725096601
looks cool and shows off the gun

Is there a game that lets you to change the way you grip your gun to give you advantages or disadvantages in certain situations?

>>725095483
>Upright
Get your eyes checked

>>725095438
Like a nigga doin the crip walk

>>725096419
I mean, if you can't get your barre chords to ring out, it probably is how you're holding the guitar.

>>725096601
>>725096284
Where the gun is put and how big it is, often had to do with performance. Everything that is behind the gun, the game does not have to render, saving resources for the machine. That's why for new console generation quite often there were shooters out with fucking HUGE guns taking up a third of the screen. specially during PS3 / PS4 era.

>>725097070
culling behind the viewmodel's a more recent development. source most definitely wasn't doing it.

>>725095896
yeah its the popular modern tacticool thing to do

>>725097070
This explains so much about destiny

>>725095502
>jew star
why though?

>>725095298 (OP)
It's cooler than the basic bitch pistol fov and adds a lot more visual feedback to hipfire shots.

>>725098732
It looks so dumb

>>725095298 (OP)
i also hate this and when they c clamp grip on 2 handed guns

>>725099329
i miss this

>>725096619
those
iirc counterstrike ejected bullets on the wrong side just to show off the animation

>>725099329
Imo it's fine when it's short barrel guns

>>725099329
It's biomechanically efficient and no one cares what vidyatroon think is "looks dumb"

>>725099947
Blocks your iron sights

>>725095502
viewmodel being close still makes sense in the sense that thats where the gun would be if the player actually held it
unless the player is some meganerd playing with the screen 2 inches from his face

>>725099752
It ejected bullets on the wrong side because a leftie did it for left handed first and to save money they just mirrored it for right handed. Modern CS has a toggle between normal and flipped.

>>725095502
The long arms look wrong

>>725096396
yo chill unc lmao

>>725100032
works fine with my sks

>>725100660
Hand hole... erotic

>>725099947
And why do you give a fuck if it's biomechanically efficient? Are you fighting a war or something

>>725101763
because it makes it easier to shoot and hit your targets?

>>725095298 (OP)
... because there's a proper way to hold a pistol. Then there's your way: sideways so the casings fall in the car during a drive by.

How's SNAP working for you?

>>725098983
I'll be honest, when I made that character I forgot that was a jew thing and thought it was some demon shit. I guess I wasn't too far off

I personally hate it because I barely get to see the gun I'm holding. Modern handguns all look the fucking same anyway.

>>725095298 (OP)
pistols are nortubel tier anyway

>>725103254
While that is true the underlying question still remains, why would you put demon shit on?

The correct thing was that every time the player fired, the weapon would go to the center of the screen, just like in Doom, I think.

>>725103745
I like evil women, whats it to ya?

>>725103745
Because he probably thought it looked cool you LARPing faggot.

>>725103745
lol, lmao even

>>725103134

This is an old style of holding a firearm developed for Glocks and 1911's based on grip angle that's outdated. Other handguns you want to tuck your thumb down. The reason for this is the pressure your thumb exerts, even miniscule, can affect your aiming by pushing the gun to the right. Ultimately it comes down to what you shoot best with. Any technique from the last 40 years is viable.

Why does evry "tacticool" "manly" operator looks like this? Where did this "rugged operator" look came from?

>>725095438
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Yxa9IeJEc

real way is youd want to burst fire it by doing the thing i forget whats it called but you put your finger on the trigger and let the recoil fire your next bullet making a semi automatic fire like a bullet every .1 seconds aka fast as fucking oh just remembered
bump firing
WHERES THE BUMP FIRING IN MY GAMES AS its legit a way to make a gun become stronger/faster/more accurate. bump firing lets you fire so fast compared to pulling the trigger its insane
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zo5ju4EVLc

what annoys me is reflector and holographic sights always having the dot in the middle which goes against the entire point of having them

>>725095298 (OP)
But this us objectively the correct way to hold a semi-automatic pistol.
>>725095502
This is wrong for a semi-auto but right for a revolver.
>>725109880
I have optics on all of my 10 firearms and have never seen a dot that wasn't in the center. What did he mean by this?

This is just center axis relock. Who cares? It's a nice way to hold a pistol as a ready position or for instinctive shooting at spitting distance and it flows easily into actually looking down the sights.

>>725095438
Like this, obviously.

>>725110161
century old technology. it is not to magnify but to aim even if your eye doesn't align with the gun

>>725110454
This is the same as it is today anon. Red dots/Holos are unmagnified. You have to put a magnifier infront if you want magnification. Or use a prism/SFP/FFP optic.

>>725108782
>girp
Unironically, the only time I've ever seen someone fire a rifle that way was pic related from Sabagebu, and she's the designated team jobber who gets merk'd in the first second of every match.

>>725109242
>looks like he's about to look at the barrel while trying to bumpfire
>remembers this thing is lethal and aims it back downrange
>camera pans to some fat neckbeard
Amazing, after all these years there is still some SOVL left on youtube.

>>725095298 (OP)
Holding your weapon out in front of you in ads mode all the time probably gets tiring.

>>725095298 (OP)
You mean the proper way to hold a handgun?

>>725110350
>filename

>>725110161
Why do you keep your thumbs on the same side when shooting a revolver but no a semi-auto?

>>725109880
Is this a bait?

>>725110683
my point was that games often have dots as a part of the gun model or something and you can see the dot even when you aren't aiming
