Now that I can play it at over 30FPS I just started it last night. Seems pretty cool so far. This next one looks really nice.

Have they said anything relating to the accuracy of the weapons? One of the things that drove me nuts about the original (and a bunch of other players as well, apparently) was how god awful inaccurate the weapons were. You absolutely needed to have one of the games top weapons to be able to reliably hit something more then 15 yards away, which could be more then a little frustrating. Having a scoped AK on single shot mode, firing crouched low, unmoving after letting the mouse-move inaccuracy settle out and still take 5 shots to get one on target was not fun.

Actually, that was one of my favorite parts of the game. It reminded me of when I went on actual exercises, and less like a video game. The realism of the game is what I liked, the fact that the enemies were your equals, and not significantlt weaker than you. (Although they all seemed pretty poor in comparison. None of them had much suff on them.) The fact that it took a while to get accurate and powerful sniper weapons was a good part of the game.

What kind of aim do you guys have?
For gameplay purposes, I see why they did it... but to say it's realistic is a sure overstatement.
You guys normally get 4 foot groupings at 50 yards...... with rifles?

Man, I could watch these trailers and Clear Sky gameplay videos forever. This should be awesome if the keeps the atmosphere and desolate environment and only adds to AI and storyline....
Edit: OMG. That slide show is disturbing. I could not even finish it.

I get about a 3" grouping with an M-16A1 at 100M, but that is after taking a few seconds to slow my breathing, and while in the prone position. It takes me a few seconds to focus, and to time the natural sway in my aiming (I use the movement of the weapon to my advantage, instead of fighting it). Also it really depends on the quality of the weapon. With my roommates Kimber .45, I can get a 1-1.5" grouping at 10M, but with a H&K 9mm, I can barely get an 18" grouping at the same distance. Most standard combat rifles just aren't designed to be very accurate, they are designed to have stopping power and hit a man-sized target at specific ranges.
