- The new recoil is perfectly fine.
The only negative is the crouch meta.
The whole crouching thing is completely unnecessary and is also what gives the cheaters an advantage due to them not needing to crouch which is what everyone is using as their excuse to get old recoil back.
Major game changes that over half the community asked for should have to be reverted because of cheaters.
Obviously people are going to moan about new recoil if they spent time learning the old one, it's inevitable, but the new recoil takes an hour to get good at.
Whoever is moaning about the playing field being leveled, that is a completely idiotic argument.. "ugh people are good now the games harder" shutup.
The game was getting boring and needed a change and this was the change we needed.
D11, don't be scared by people saying the game will die if you add new recoil, they say this after every update, it's just how the rust community is. ffs people even said that cars killed rust. This exact same thing happened with PC rust, people complained for a little while after the recoil changed, and said the game will die, but the playerbase never changed, and people got on with it.
The only reason it seems like more people that dislike it is because the people who like it (most of the community) are having fun actually playing the game, while you have a few people who dislike it coming to discord to complain.
Basically, fix the crouch meta and everyone's problems are solved.
