Problem with hitscan is that it adds another layer of data to be tranmitted. As much as I want fairness, we'd lag like -blam!-.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

No. Hitscan detracts from gameplay and lessens the skill gap IMO.
If people don't need to learn to lead their shots the level of mediocrity would be even higher skill wise.

Hitscan means if the shots register on your screen then they count as hits. The game can still be made to lead shots.

I was under the impression that hitscan meant that the shots registered as soon as the trigger was pulled, leaing to no travel time. If it can be done whilst keeping the necessity of leading shots in the game I can't see why not to include it.
