It looks dumb when people are shooting a me from a distance further than their gun's bullets can fly and the bullets just disappear in midair. Very noticible on big maps.

I think the bullets should start fading-out 10m from their max range.
It'd look a lot better.

It's awesome tbh, some newb might be sitting there all day thinking they're doing damage to something when they're not. Razz

Bullets fading 10 metres away from their max distance would be misleading to those firing them, as I'd certainly like to know that where my bullets are landing is their max range.

There are other extremely hard ways to tell if you're hitting someone or not, like your points increasing, that big red frame; and their health bar for example.

Perhaps you should consider that the Rene bullets flying past you no longer have the required velocity to do any damage; thus they are discounted.

Or perhaps that the bullets are not really disappearing in mid air, but they are moving too fast for you to see the projectiles as it is too close to you.

Use your imagination Big Ups

like on Counter Strike Source you see no bullets it would improve peoples aim so it would be better.

Have any of you ever played a big map, with you and an enemy running towards each other, shooting?

Here's a thing for you to try out -
C&C Field:
You and a friend are minigunners (nod & gdi), exit the bases through the main enterance(s) and start shooting each other the moment you see your friend.
It looks dumb when the bullets just dissappear infront of you (try thirdperson view), espcially when the bullets are 1m from your face.

It doen't have to be 10m; it can be shorter: 5m? 2m?
EVEN BETTER! You should be able to adjust the setting in the options menu!

also if you've misunderstood me - the bullets would gradually fade out
