With past versions of SR you could downplay the smartgun being used to fire around corners but with SR4 (and even SR3 I think) the smartgun is officially a guncam that players can use to fire around corners. I hate this since it leads to a bunch of jackasses with only their forearms or hands exposed while blasting away at each other. Totally weak.

So now, how do I deal with this crap? Here's my areas of concern:
  • Recoil. Recoil has to be factored differently, maybe even doubled, due to the lack of proper bracing.
  • Odd perception. I know that it's basically another eye, just mounted on the end of your gun. This still seems incredibly akward to me. Should I impose negatives?
  • Is it just a called shot to his someones hand? What's the damage? What is the hand is cyber?


God, the guncam is freakin weak and really takes something out of the game for me. I prefer the reticle overlay only. Oh well, progression eh?
