Quote from ThrikI have to say, I very rarely have problems hitting people when I'm shooting people with the special forces weapon. I've often hit people easily on the top of that big crane whilst proned on the ground after about 6 seconds of burst firing (VERY IMPORTANT IN BF2).However, I sometimes get what I can only assume is a bug with my special forces weapon where it will only fire in semi automatic mode. Is this some bind I'm accidentally hitting, or some crazy bug?
Try pressing the # key that coresponds to the weapon. This will toggle the fire rate. If you already tried that, then I'm clueless.
