TF2 Pellet Spread vs. No-Spread REDUX

[GongKilluminati]

Man spread is random. Now I know why I meatshot heavies and do only 70 dam D:.

[ZakobYoa]

what's the fucking command?

[MrJuzJoe]

WoW this video is a better example, cause with the bullet spread on you can see some 10 - 15 damage difference for some of the shots and that 10 - 15 damage can cost you a kill in many situations. Conclusion, for me I prefer no spread cause of the 10 - 15 damage dip in some of the shots.

Just saying you are comparing 2 different things the spread off you took the value of 1 shot and the spread on you took an average of 6 shots I think. Statistically that would skew your results if you are trying to make a direct comparison. Just sayin'.

[MattTheLoneWolf]

@joemama114 Spread off never changes as long as you aim in the same spot. Kind of the point of spread off.

[XeBiSe777]

nice , but the no spread is a hack ... anyway thanks for the range damage :D

[MattTheLoneWolf]

@XeBiSe777 ...?

It's a server-side option used in competitive play and occasionally in public servers.

[XeBiSe777]

@MattTheLoneWolf wasn't a hack? Damn im confused...

[MattTheLoneWolf]

@XeBiSe777 The thing being tested is the server-side option of the pellet spread of the shotguns being uniform. (in a 3x3 grid)

This video shows tests on whether this option changes the average damage output of the Scout at different ranges. :)

@XeBiSe777 It's not a hack and it's not no spread, it organizes the spread.

Hey what/how u make ur gun show more?? Please amswer I am looking for it everywhere !

[MattTheLoneWolf]

@vipranor In the console, type in viewmodel_fov **. Where ** is equal to some number. 54 is the default, I have it set to 70.

[alvariux1123]

how do you activate that thing that shows how much damage you deal?

[MattTheLoneWolf]

@alvariux1123 In the menu, Options->Multiplayer->Advanced

Scroll down until you find the "Display damage text over your target" option and then just tick the box.

Or just type "hud_combattext 1" in the console. :)

[alvariux1123]

@MattTheLoneWolf tenk u :)

[T3hJoshua]

Awesome. So spread doesn't really matter?

[MattTheLoneWolf]

Not really no. It's more consistent, but the output averages out to the same.

[SnarfTheHoovySlayer]

@MattTheLoneWolf Yes but this allows players to get lucky shots. Shots that wouldn't normally hit, and for comp players that is a real downer.

[MattTheLoneWolf]

@SnarfTheHoovySlayer Quite so. I wish this was used on pub servers more often.
