What a tracer should look like (before spazzing just look).

It's as if this entire conversation is completely over your head.

And yes I'm completely happy with COD tracers because they are one of the few I've ever seen in a game that actually look realistic.

And why would I ever say what you are wanting is worth including? It's not worth including because if you are 1st of all, firing a weapon with live ammunition, and 2ndly at a target, if you are sitting there trying to watch the rounds instead of the target, you shouldn't even be allowed to hold a gun in the 1st place.

And the way they look is not my opinion. It's fact. You should let it go because you don't know what you're talking about. And your back peddling on the issue shows just that.

I'm not back peddling.

So in your opinion tracers stay straight no matter what movement occurs at the viewing end? That just shows ignorance of some very basic rules.

If they dont bow slightly they are breaking the laws of physics.

If you are flying in a tight right hand turn firing your guns in cod you can see the tracer go off screen to the left. This means that they must be moving right to left and if there is movement right to left this has to effect the streaks angle as the dot of light has to draw the streak at 180 degrees to the movement across the eye/screen.

If you draw out 5 'frames' from cod and trace out the starting point and end point and 3 points between of the dot of light, accounting for sideways movement, you get a curved path.

At any point along this path the streak must be inside it because thats where the dot of light went. CoD is in effect drawing in light where it has never been.

I 100% know what I'm talking about.

You just don't get it.

Like I said I'm not asking for anyone to implement this in game.

This about what I can prove that happens against what you say doesn't.
