Freddy	ABSTAIN	Casual players might see shootfromeye as a visual bug, but gameplay wise it is far better.
Antibody	NONE
Arch	YES
bones_was_here	YES	we always used this, in nexuiz too
Cloudwalk	NONE
divVerent	YES	how much this impacts a player depends a lot on factors normally not important for this game, while it does not simulate gun recoil even nearly realistically anyway - like, our simulated recoil is weaker than a nerf gun's, and really just for effect. Consider making it a clientside setting though?
Dr. Jaska	YES	Some visuals look slightly weird but gameplay feels much better with it
Halogene	NONE
illwieckz	NONE
LegendGuard	YES
Morosophos	NONE
MrBougo	NONE
nitroxis	NONE
Silent	YES	Projectiles shoot from the gun rather than the crosshair, making it highly easy to accidentally shoot walls when near them, resulting in a lot of inaccurate shots. It's also currently used in XPM's balance, and I believe that the weapon balance should be the same at least regardless if this ruleset is used or not. I'd prefer if the visuals/bullets were to still shoot from the gun instead of the eye, but unfortunately that isn't an option.
SPLAT	YES
Spike29	YES	Looks a bit weird visually, but I see no reason why this setting should be XPM-only.
terencehill	NONE
z411	YES	Most, if not all players I know are used to this behavior.
