gun mechanics
What are your views on realism in this game vis-a-vis gun mechanics?
I think it makes sense to have stats dictate things like gun maintenance skills or recoil. or some special abilities like quickdraw or whatever.
I just don`t think that RPG rules translate very well into a RPG with 1st person POV.
I am a big fan of games like the ARMA series (and the original Operation Flashpoint) and I hope the devs use these games as starting point and inspiration for gunfighting mechanics.
Also, it would allow for more realistic economics.Since most firearms are fairly equal in firepower, game balance issues become much less prominent. I always thought it was illogical in games to have a 9mm pistol at 35$ and a 10 mm pistol at 5000$ and 10 times more powerful.
other factors such as location, availability,needs of a given group,concealability, range become more important.
I know that this will be modded eventually, but it would be nice to have the option to play like this out of the box.
PS: I never played PnP RPGs so if my opinion is ignorant of the original CP2020, it is because it is lol. I am huge fan of System Shock 2, blade runner,etc.
I also know I am most likely going to be the odd man out , but hey,you know what patton said, if everyone thinks the same, someone isn't thinking hehe.
