No More Hitscan Arachnoids

One of the only thing I don't like in Serious Sam Games = Hitscan. It is so much fun to not hide while they are shooting, thank you for this mod :-)

The balancing is on point in this mod. I can still get decimated if I'm not constantly moving in the right direction by these guys, at the same time I no longer cuss when I get killed because I feel the weight of the blame is more on my side thanks to the mod making it more on how well you can dodge as opposed to: "oh shit there is that red ass hat again, if I can just make that cover... DEAD!".

I love the design to these enemies, but Croteam has always had to balance them by putting them in the most predictable places to accommodate their insane hitscan; which means you see a limited number of these guys in the longevity of the game because it would be too OP in other areas that don't feature some form of cover that is easily accessible. Hopefully in SS4, they make these guys projectile only, your mod just proves how viable it is to make them projectile based.

How about the yellow/orange lasers? Look more like bullet

Hmmm...
I'll fave so I can check it out later

This is preferable to hitscan imo, because you can keep yourself in the action while fighting stuff, which brings forth different strategies while speeding up the game and giving you more to work with. Don't know why anyone would want to be forced to take cover in a game like Serious Sam, I think that kind of misses the point.
It would be nice if the lasers were a different color or something as well though, but either way it's still good. :P

wow headless

I'd at least suggest changing the laser color, assuming that's possible. Red Arachnids could fire red lasers, while hatchlings could fire blue or purple ones. That'd definitely be more fitting.

I agree with Headless. I would subscribe in an instant if you could make them look like tracers but I'm not sold on the laser bolts.

Don't know how to feel about this. I like that they force you to take cover. But it's bullshit when you don't see them coming and can't tell where it's coming from. Are the lasers quick? If you make the speed so that it's VERY fast, but at the same time dodgable and manageable, then it's a go. It at least solves the issue of not knowing where the hell fire is coming from due to, well, being able to see something coming at you and being able to trace it.

I'll try it !
