It has the "hit" effect though on the ground if it hits the ground...

I can see bullets fine though.

We mostly want to see the bullets for the appearance. Plus, on certain maps it is almost impossible to see the bullets.

Well, If I have to get owned by an army of HMGs Python Hovers or Assault guns, firing Depleted Uranium bullets, I would like to see some nice fireworks :)

Pretty much the point I'm making. Plus, it would be more fun to own the computers...especially for those of us who MP refuses to work for. I think it's my internet connection.

Actually, even the recoil of the barrel coincides with the "tracers"...if I recall.

Don't feel bad I only got as far as pointers :(
The concept is simple but the practice is hard.
In general, if you see glowing, pulsating things in the game, you should click on them.
