Should the rifles on the low end of the projectile/acceleration technology spectrum be affected by bullet drop? Please explain your position if you want to or if it is not covered by a simple yes or no.
It's in Battlefield, should it be in Destiny?
Should Kentucky Windage be involved somehow as well?
Should there be an visual automation system in higher-tech ballistic weapons that accounts for all of the following and provides accurate fire?

Edited by Zarkaithnia: 4/7/2013 9:48:57 PMI love the idea of bullet drop. I play BF3 so I'm quite familiar with it. Bullet drop makes sniping skill. Makes shooting a lot different than COD. Bullet drop is real and should be incorporated into Destiny :). I love the challenge!! And mastering bullet drop with sniping makes being a sniper more respected because of the skill it requires. And they should add bullet speed too. Like how in BF3 you have to lead on your target...now that is even more challenging and what is life or games with out challenge? Boredom that's what. So I say add bullet drop and take into account the speed of the projectiles as well. BF3 is a great success and that's how they did things. Bullet drop and bullet speed. Yes it's not popular like COD but this is Bungie we're talking about. It'll be popular regardless x). I forgot to add this part....since this is a Sci-Fi shooter the guns will either be energy weapons or projectile weapons or both. If they're projectile weapons then bullet drop should still be a factor. Yes it's in the 2700's but you have to remember, gravity hasn't gone away. Sure the projectile may go further with out dropping do to advances in technology and what not, but it's still a solid mass. And unless physics have changed the projectile will drop after a certain distance. As for a rail gun...well if we got those than there wont be much drop do to the speed and energy behind it. That's my understanding of a rail gun anyway. Would love to see Bungie put work into bullet drop and projectile speed. If not, oh well. Gonna be a great game either way :D
