Having said that, some guns would look cool with tracer bullets but it'd be more aesthetical rather than anything.

As it is, I cannot tell whether or not I'm actually firing my weapon. There needs to be some sort of visual cue other than the tiniest change in my ammo count in the top corner of the screen. I play with sounds disabled (Graal sound effects are terrible, so is the music), so I don't know if there is even audible cue.

There is a reason why "bog-standard Modern playerworlds" have slow-motion firing. I'd like to see where shots are coming from if someone decided to kill me.

There should be a shape where one end follows the player and the other follows the mouse. When you fire, it should turn red, depending on whether you've hit someone or something. Also, there is sound.

That's been discussed, we're thinking of maybe a line from you and who shot you. It's uncertain. I, personally, think it improves gameplay and the fast-paced action that we're aiming for.

I noticed that, but it seems to be a little glitchy. I assume the green FOV is what I can hit, but sometimes it completely disappears from my screen, is red all the time, or doesn't change color when I shoot (or when I think I'm shooting.

Maybe have a visible ammo count in the bottom corner, representing ammo in clip, and ammo in reserve (just like you'd see in other FPSes). Also if you're going for realism could we finally have a game where if you reload a partically empty clip, the bullets remaining in the disgarded clip don't mysterously get added back to the ammo reserve.

Yeah, some things are quite buggy at the moment

I'd prefer the idea where you see the amount of ammo left as a digit rather than a diagram also
