JcFerggy:
Wait, does this mean that the Silenced weapons are there own weapon now, instead of being an alternate fire method?
Also, will Silenced actually mean "Silent"? What I mean is, will other players be able to hear your gunfire?; and by "Hear", I mean any sound at all. If that is not currently planned, it should be considered. I want some sort of triad off for the lacking of accuracy.
killermonkey:
Yes silenced weapons are separate weapons entirely just like GE64, although VC still can't get over his missing Silenced ZMG ;-)
You can hear the silenced weapon (as you can in real life!) but outside of 20 ft or so it is nearly imperceptible so it definitely does help to use silenced (that is of course unless you have radar enabled then all bets are off!)
Rodney 1.666:
Well, at the moment, "silencers" (which are really "suppressors") do muffle the sound of the shots a fair amount.
You can't hear gunfire from a couple rooms away; And if you're not playing attention, someone in the same room can get a few free hits if they are stealthy enough.
D'oh. Posted before I did.
Wake[of]theBunT:
I will say this, in any decent size map I cant hear shots from mid-long distance by a silencer (runway,cradle) unless they are hitting the environment. Nothing is going to be pure silence theres always going to be a tip off if you are sharp to your surroundings.
JcFerggy:
While on the subject, will the Silver and Gold PP7 have a silenced version?
Either way, thanks for the information, now I need to go split some atoms articles.
