Burst Weapons and Battacor

[KenthNisshoku]

can we have all burst weapons fire like Battacor by holding down the fire button instead of rapidly pressing it?

the Battacor is a 2 shot burst weapon but you can just hold down the fire button so it fires like a full auto one

I see no reason it shouldn't be the case.

 The few weapons that use the awkward tap/hold distinction (like Ballistica and Staticor) should use altfire anyway, as that key does nothing for those guns.

Is there really any reason All weapons in the game can't do this?

be burst(or semi). just have holding down the trigger automatically repeat the burst at the listed fire rate?

Instead of the player constantly tapping the trigger

Because, the ability to physically finger spam shouldn't be a -gameplay mechanic-

its an ergonomic issue

I have to say, I disagree. Sure, it can be annoying when you spam it for hours, but the point of Burst and Semi-Auto weapons is to be something else than a Fire Rate variations of Full-Auto weps. It's another style that isn't for everyone, and making them Full-Auto will simply make them less unique, as everything would be Full-Auto in the end. Hel, those changes would basicaly make the Battacor, that you seem to enjoy for it's unique mechanic, a regular Burst wep instead of "the one and only" Burst/Auto hybrid. 

Semi-autos should be Semi-auto and Burst should be Burst. If everything was Full-auto, it would simply take away some aspects that might fit some players' playstyle (like myself).

Burst-autos would remain distinct enough thanks to burst delay alone (always consuming 2-5 rounds per trigger pull aside), creating the typical rhythm of fire. Semi-autos would unfortunately turn into "just slow full-autos", but what's stopping you from tapping the trigger at your own rate (with added leeway as mistimed shots would fire anyway instead of being ignored)? Full-auto is essentially semi++.

The option to just mash the fire button would still exist in the game, there's no downside.
