Recoil Camera Motion Is Adjusted to Match CS:GO, While Bullet Trajectories Stay the Same

Camera motion caused by recoil is adjusted to more closely match CS:GO, though bullet trajectories continue to follow CS2 behavior. Players will also see the full camera effect from aim punch, such as getting shot, regardless of network latency, while its effect on bullet trajectories still applies immediately on the server.
