Is it possible to change where bullets come from? - Terran - 04-05-2016
It'd be nice to have bullets come from the upper-chest area, rather than the eyeballs.
Too often will someone abuse the fact that they can clear the tip of their forehead over a ledge, yet be able to shoot from that and be virtually invincible.
Or would this be impossible?

This is pretty much hard coded into the engine. There's a lot of reasons why this is like this, and there's really no reason to try and change it around. Yes it's annoying, but there's several reasons behind the scenes for them to do it this way, to make the game more playable for the client.
If you weren't to shoot like this, you'd be taking cover behind something, trying to shoot over it and hit it because your world shoot position isn't matching up with the view model. It would feel very awkward.
It's common in most, if not all first person shooters to have the forehead over a ledge 'shoot from the eyes' issue.

Damn, I was hopeful but that makes sense. Well, thank you. Axe did say it probably wouldn't be possible.
