I have been noticing that blind firing around cover corners is possible when firing without pressing the aim button, but I can't reproduce the effect consistantly to analyze its use and benefits...can any players share some insights into this mechanics?

You're less exposed when you shoot. Enemies will get out of the way to avoid being shot, making it good when you're trying to flank.

Same function it serves in other shooters and in real life.

Pretty sure theres no blindfiring in the game. I'm even in the demo right now and Shep stands right up/out of cover and is totally exposed. Must be a bug with the cover system if you're able to blindfire.

I don't care who tells you, I don't care why or how they justify it, but a real soldier does not blindfire.

I think I reproduce it...tried with SMG and pistol, if firing without aim, you only lean out of cover, if using aim,
you stand outside of cover. Can't tell how this impact accuracy or protection...no solid data.

It is a gameplay mechanic from Mass Effect 1. If you were to just pull the right trigger while in cover, Shepard would lean out and start firing, and you wouldn't be zoomed in. That is what soldiers call "committing." You "fully commit," lean out of cover, and open fire, not so much focused on precision, but on getting rounds downrange towards the enemy to put suppressive fire on them.

Blindfiring doesn't do that. Blindfiring is ineffective. As a matter of fact, it's counter effective, because you telegraph your position without even being relavtively effective. If you're getting out of cover to fire at all, make it count.

But they do it in movies and in various other games. That means it must be a good idea!

Count me in the "blind-firing is a waste of ammo at best" camp.

Fixed.

Bling firing is a tactic only used in action movies and FPS games.

Blind firing is a freaking joke in real life. It's a last ditch desperate thing people do. If I seen someone blind firing at me, i would take a chance to shoot at their hand. How silly them not wanting to hit dick all. It's hard enough aiming properly in a stance for some people, I can't see how pray and spray without looking is anything but dumb blind luck.

Plenty of people blind fire in real life.  Gang members, for example.  They also hold guns sideways, hold rifles awkwardly, and shoot from their hip.

Never said it was a good tactic, I just said that people do it in real life.

Which is probably why they are as likely to hit some little girl walking to school in the morning as their intended 'target.'

I'd rather blind firing wasn't in the game as it isn't a tactic taught to people in the military. It fact in runs completely counter to the fundamentals of marksmanship that are taught in the military. But if it is in game, I can live with it as it has become a staple in action movies & FPS games.
