Class2 Gun Has No Auto-fire. #61

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

Every other gun (except the Railgun) keep firing when holding down the left mouse button. The class2 gun needs a dedicated click for each projectile. It is impossible to easily find the fastest firing rate and makes "guessing" when your empty energy bar is ready for the next shot.

Auto-fire also doesn't make much sense to me, given how precisely you have to time your shots with this weapon. I see two solutions. 1) Returning to using recoil instead of enforcing a significant delay between shots 2) Having the planned "proper" model of the weapon provide the player with audiovisual queues when the weapon is ready to fire again.

Makes perfect sense to me pretty often (Mostly in close range battles). Anybody interested in landing precise hits has enough time to release the trigger and start anew. It is just an annoyance to keep pressing the button without anything happening - while all other weapons happily wait to have enough power for the next shot and instantly release it. 2) certainly is a good plan to go for in any case.
