Agreed. It will be Massively bad.

You need to lay down the skooma, son.

Handcuffed Bambis everywhere shivered when they read the OP.

This thread delivers. Seriously, I'm laughing so hard, muscles I never even knew I had are beginning to ache.

There is a small percentage of the population that has central, or middle vision (no eye is dominant), which indeed allows them to aim with both eyes. Of course, that is not owl-vision like the OP suggested.

Offer 20 keys. Without handcuffs.

In other words, you have no counter-argument and I should just take your word that I'm wrong. Also, by your rationale, combat logging is working as intended. And you have no proof for your last statement. Don't be angry that you can't counter my argument. I have no problem with strangers treating me poorly (ie. a traitor). I have a problem with strangers taking advantage of unrealistic game mechanics specifically for the purpose of treating me poorly (spawn camping). The former is interesting and unique gameplay, the latter is dull and exists in most other games.

edit: sorry, double post.

No, it absolutely is griefing, due to the very simple fact that these players are taking advantage of unrealistic game mechanics (ie. limited spawn areas; fresh spawns are always unarmed) in order to force players into submission and annoy them. It's certainly not PvP when your intent is clearly just to rile people up and waste their time. If this group were acting inland, an argument could be made that they are just roleplaying as a band of sociopaths, and I could totally condone such a thing. But to do it on the coast tells me that their chief primary interest is in ruining players' experience.

There is a difference between fooling someone to gain an advantage, and herding fresh spawns to kill them with axes. The former is PvP, the latter is just pure griefing which is present in some form in all online games.

You are too easily amused.

What a strange thread. Tell me OP, did you kill pets as a child?

Even if it were an attempt to mimic realistic turning (which it is not), most games do this by making the ironsights not lined up, so that if you do a quick 180 you'll have to wait a fraction of a second for the character to line up the sights again.

I love reading stories like this. I'm guessing it reads completely different from a bandit's tale: "Killed stranger on the beach. Then went east and killed some douche that looked at me funny. Looted some stuff. Killed some dude who was looting some stuff. Shot a guy but he escaped. Looted some stuff. Bumped again into guy I had shot. Killed him. Had an amazing social interaction: some guy with an m4 approached me from behind as I was looting some stuff and asked for directions. I gave him the directions, he thanked me, then as he turned around I killed him. Disconnected." Sadly, I suspect that if you write another story a week from today, it'll be very, very different in tone :P.

There is a difference between reporting bugs and shouting "herp derp just change the accuracy value in m4.h" in all-caps.
