Should I be able to shoot if I’m in zoom mode? I can’t shoot until I return to normal view, so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this same thing?
Assuming you mean the zoom mode using the Z key, then this is intentional. It’s like this in HL2 as well.
If your talking about the glock and tranquilizer’s zooms, then that is a glitch.
It’s not quite the same as HL2. In HL2 you can hold down fire and the weapon will shoot as soon as you let go of the Zoom key. In BMS you need to wait for the zoom-out animation to finish, and then it will fire. As someone who is used to HL2DM .357 Magnum sniping, it’s obnoxious.
Still, it’s a design decision, and not a bug.
