Movement = accuracy nerfed?

I prefer games where I can move and shoot simultaneously. A lot of people dont realize the enormous difference between i.e. titanfall and battlefield in this regard. Being able to move and shoot gives console players an extra boost in terms of aiming, since the strafing is a part of the process. (of aiming). This doesnt matter [b]as much[/b] on PC. TL;DR: [b]So, please, can you tell me if Destiny has reduced accuracy while moving?[/b] And for that matter I am also interrested in ADS vs. Hipfire and other weapon stats in general.

    Accuracy is reduced but not so much that skill can't make up for it. Hip fire differs from weapon to weapon. Some weapons it's just as good as ADS others you can't hit the side of a barn. Some guns even have upgrades that increase hip fire accuracy

  • There is reduced accuracy while moving and jumping. As there should be. There is also insane recoil when using an assault rifle (or heavier weapon). Add all of this together and staying in cover is recommended. Though the AI seemed incapable of making a headshot, most incoming fire from NPCs seemed to be aimed at the center of your chest.

    • The walking/running accuracy is fine but it is still better to remain stationary and fire from cover if you don't wanna die. They have made it next to impossible to hit someone/something after double jumping even after compensating for your trajectory and bullet angle you will almost always miss your mark. Single jumping accuracy is bearable but not great, still realistic to a point. The strafing accuracy is fine as you have to side step certain weapons projectiles from the fallen and also return fire but it dose get slightly affected in a realistic way. Its hard to explain easy to demonstrate xD

      • I think Ninja said that jumping messes up your accuracy when shooting.

        • I was shooting from the hip while jumping and strafing, and tbh I was still nailing all my headshots. Granted it's an acquired skill from years of Halo, but it works. You simply need to time your shots and practice. The faster you spam the trigger the less accuracy you have. Most newbs just spray and pray while ADS, so their mobility is restricted while they struggle to target me.

          • Honestly I loved the way it controlled and played. It controlled like Halo, which I love, and the movement speed was pretty spot on. Much better then BF4, or COD controls or movement speed.

            • So far all I heard is sprinting reduses the speed of your look speed, personally I feel Bungie is encouraging a slower, more tactical way of fps, more focus on good cover and planing over twitch reflexes, something I feel more fps should do.
