Firing while strafing left and right causes the muzzle flash to point to the players side. 4.1 does have the same problem, however it is far more noticeable in 4.2, especially with the Sr8. These shots where taken right after changing direction to cancel the movement penalty.



4.1 Sr8 shot while strafing.



4.2 Sr8 shot while strafing.


Crouching after the strafe in 4.2 causes the muzzle flash to point straight down instead of forward.




4.1 crouch



4.2 crouch


This happens with autos as well. It can look confusing seeing muzzle flashes shoot towards the right and get killed by someone you didn't think was shooting at you.

looks fine to me

There does seem to be a problem with how the opponent is looking at you when they fire. You cannot always tell they are firing at YOU, thus you don't know that you're in any inherent danger. A crouching player, firing at the ground, or they appear to be firing at somebody else around an adjacent corner and making hits with you is +1 confusing.

Del, I think the point of these images is that the sniper is actually aiming and firing directly at (or a millimeter off of) the player who's POV we are seeing. But instead of looking like he's firing at us, he looks like he's firing off in all other directions.

Yeah, all the shots where to the right or left of the head.

try strafing and shooting with a g36 (watch someone), it shoots into the air like someone is shooting a plane

It's sort of doubly problematic because that's how you shoot a g36 (at least how I do) by strafing back and forth to cancel movement penalty.
