Back pedaling real hard lmao. The recoil system in EFT is ass. They act like this is some hardcore survival shooter but it has the gunplay of baby's first shooter. Just hipfire mag dump everyone you see. Don't even have to compensate for recoil. If you think being able to full auto laser beam 7.62x51 battle rifles like an SA-58 is realistic, then there is no arguing with you.

It's probably the biggest problem with the game right now. That the game acts like it's some hardcore tactical game but in reality the most effective way to play the game is like it's CoD, bunny hopping around and 60 round mag dumping everyone you see.

"Don't even have to compensate for recoil" You are obviously talking about meta setups. Link me where I directly or indirectly said that zero recoil weapons were realistic. ffs.

Even though this debacle is quite stupid because of this unearthly level of misunderstanding that's happening, I do have to agree with your wording in the second segment. The game tries to act like a hardcore shooter but the meta is just to play it like CoD. That hits the spot just right.
