hi, i dont know if this was posted before, i have searched but found nothing.

anyway, i noticed a long time ago that lmg/hmg are shooting alot more then 10 rounds/sec, so i checked it out. i took me 8 seconds to empty an hmg.
then, a few months later, i lowered my fps to 20, using fps_max 20, and ran the test again. i was amazed. the hmg was empty in 6 seconds! this is about the same as if i had catalyst with 60 fps.

anyway, thisis a HUGE bug, andi dont think i saw it on cs, so it might be fixable.

This is a known issue and is present in other HL mods (see http://www.fortress-forever.com/fpsreport/), so it is probably not fixable. The effect of framerate on game mechanics is rather fundamental; it also affects movement speed (by the inverse of this), among other things.


If you're curious, this is roughly how the attack rates look for the LMG and pistol: LMG, pistol. Also, the attack rate values in the manual are indeed incorrect; here are some more accurate values (for 100 fps).

What civ said.
