Hmm. What about the projectile speed?
Also, it could be the angle of the pistols in hand versus the flight path of the projectile that's throwing me off. And now that I say that, I believe Eternal had this dilemma at some point, with projectiles originating from the center of the screen for both pistols being settled upon.
I still struggle with the projectile speed, I do appreciate that it demands close-quarter combat with enemies that you
really don't want to get into close-quarters with.
Besides projectiles coming from the player the enemy's projectiles throw me off too, specifically the blue fighter whose projectile always seems to tag me.
One player projectile I really don't like is the railgun, railgun? The charge-up sniper weapon. It's a split dual-round projectile that just doesn't seem to go where I need them to go in relation to the minimalist targeting reticle. I don't like it.
The rocket launcher is introduced in a level with numerous hunter packs seemingly to suggest that you should use the rocket launcher on them but frankly, dual-pistols are preferable up until you get the ESR Banshee which is by far my favorite weapon in any Marathon game ever.
The rocket launcher is my preferred sniper weapon which puts the railgun in the dust bin.
Towards the end of the game, you get a particularly amazing weapon that kicks so much ass in the level that it's introduced but after that, I found very few instances in subsequent levels that communicated to me that the time to use this amazing weapon was
now. Well, besides Juggernaut encounters.
You can take the time to kite enemies together to create an opportunity to use this end-game weapon but I don't find that particularly fun.
Still, it's the best BFG in any Marathon I've ever played.
It was close enough and I was just at the point where I had to release something.
