In the Doom engine, hitscan attacks are limited to 2048 units. I know ZDoom removes this limit, but I don't know about other ports. It might be an arbitrary limitation, or it might be a creative decision. [[User:Bloodshedder|Bloodshedder]] 03:50, 9 May 2005 (UTC) | In the Doom engine, hitscan attacks are limited to 2048 units.
