rifles dont work in this game

[se7ensnakes]

I am new to the game and shoot an entire clip into the aliens and no one dies.  Whats the point of having a weapon if it does not kill your enemy?

Find yourself some of the smaller yellow-brown or green aliens to shoot at, they'll generally go down quite easily with a full clip, then you can use the resulting credits to replace that rifle with something a bit beefier to tackle the larger aliens with.

A general tip, if it doesn't die, shoot it moar.

I'm just going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're great at aiming. In this case I'll refer you to this thread as to what I think is causing your complaint: http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=15224.0

The trouble is, if you have a high ping you'll be aiming somewhere other than where you see the enemy whether you have unlagged (behind) or not (in front). Also a problem is how people who are used to this probably won't notice it so much meaning new players will be assumed to be bad at aiming.

So just try joining the lowest ping server you possibly can and you'll have done all you can.#
