what's a hitscan?

The only FPS I've been satisfied with gunplay in is [not retro] PUBG. Bullets are real objects with hang time, gravity, and wind. Are there any retro FPS like that?
Hitscan is absolute bollocks.
Console fps that provide aim assist nudging and are hitscan? Hell no.

Your supposed to talk about frogs here.

>>12418084
In fps terms it's a projectile that has no travel time. Meaning it's completely unavoidable.

Unreal: Return to Na Pali.
The expansion is shit but you get a hitscan rifle among the new weapons, which is used by human enemies.
There's a part where you get ambushed atop a crashlanded ship by Terran enemies with rocket launchers and assault rifles and you have to take them one by one while covering inside the ship or else they hitscan gangbang you if you take them in the open. It's a bitch to go through but a great section in hindsight.

Easiest way of hit calculation.
Weapon simply has a line where the shot could hit and if that line touches a hitbox when firing it's a hit.
Makes calculation easy an fast because no pesky physical calculations like projectile travel time etc. but obviously means no reaction time.
Players often get hitscan weapons for performance reasons and to give them a not that noticeable advantage. But if the mosters or enemies get them it means once you get into their line of sight you are hit.
Realistic, yes, but since the enemies are usually exendable (clones can spawn infinitely) but the player entitiy the most important asset in the game it is often regarded as unfair und unenjoyable.

Descent. Contrary to popular belief, the Drillers are not actually hitscan, they just fire very fast projectiles.

>I limit because because I'm afraid of challenge
>I post a retarded meme image because I think this makes me awesome, not a fucking loser
trying to reassure yourself with smugness amplifies how insecure you are over being unable to play video games

>>12418482
Hitscan is not a challenge you retard. If you can't avoid or dodge something it's not a challenge.

need more frogs

why aren't you guys posting frogs?

The Star Wars games, I think? I only played Dark Forces 2

>>12418601
If it has a charge time and provides some sort of tell then it is ok. But then again I am used to MechWarrior.

It's actually incredible what level of non-game playing faggot you are. Pure unbridled dipshit running and hiding from games he can't handle then posting faggot memes over it thinking he's "cool".

How fucking petty and insecure are you? Does this spill over into the rest of your life?

>>12418601
It's challenge because you have to plan how to survive and defeat the opponents before you kill you, you fucking retarded autistic zoomer spaz. HURR DURR 100% NO DAMAGE RUNS are not the only way to play a video game. Speedruns have corrupted your zoomer brain

>>12418601
it's obviously a challenge because you can't beat it. the game challenged you and you said "no sir i can't beat you, i give up and quit".

Would a mechanic where you're randomly struck by lightning and die be "challenging" for you? No. That's exactly what hitscan enemies feel like. It's a pure shit mechanism and you're either brazenly dishonest or nostalgiafagging if you defend it.

why does it have to be lightning? good examples are more comparable to slow electrocution, where the enemy will whittle you down unless prioritized.

in the end hitscan is just one of the tools devs can use, it can be good or bad, most of the time it's just bad, but that's dev fault

Uhm, in Halo 2 Bungie switched most UNSC ones to hitscan (and added new weapons like the BR).
Hitscan rewards straight-up aim and positioning. Projectiles reward flicks, prediction, and movement.
A game needs both or it falls flat. That's why Quake II blew up the LAN/online scene and Q3A became king.
Hitscan: god-tier aim + positioning (railgun)
Projectiles: nasty flicks + movement (rocket launcher)
t. ex-Q3A pro
>tl;dr
Neither's better. Both gotta coexist. If you prefer one, it's your skill level or playstyle showing.

just break line of sight with the lightning generator

Blessed MechWarrior player. Which ones? We're on /vr/ so I'm gonna guess 2/3/4

I like projectiles because you have to aim, correct, and anticipate enemy movement. Most gamers simply can't do it so I get an SMG and blast em at close range while they miss potshots. And getting a long-range shot with a DMR against a moving target feels so rewarding. Hitscan games are too flick heavy and arcadey imo. I still play them, but I have a preference.

>>12419881
You're not "randomly" struck by hitscans, retard. You're struck because you walked in their line of sight and stood there until you died like a fucking moron and then came to 4chan to cry about it.

How truly pathetic are you, anon? Outline your life for me, please. You wake up, cry about video games being too hard because you can't 100% no damage speedrun them, shit yourself, stink in your chair, whine that nobody gave you a hug on 4chan for your complaints, and then go to sleep. About right?
When are you gonna git gud?

if balanced properly they can be very fun to fight

Hitscan can work alright when enemies don't have perfect aim. Some games will have hitscan enemies but they'll miss most of their shots as long as you keep strafing in one direction. Usually it's not great though. In something like Half-Life you can still peek from cover and use the shotgun or explosives to avoid taking more damage from the SMG grunts but it still often ends up just feeling like it's a forced loss of health and armor.
