Re: Angry with the M95
I know what you mean about hit detection and the M95, though, and it's not an M95-only thing. I played some rounds yesterday that were, for a change, lag-free (for the most part...occasional hiccup now and then) and what a difference it makes. Sniper rifles go from being frustrating one-shot wusses to killing machines, although I use the L96 (or M24 if I'm US) more than the M95. But I was able to make those quick scope-up/shoot/kill shots and even hit targets at a full sprint because there was no lag. Sounds to me more like you were having a problem with lag than you were the M95. I think hit detection errors and lag hurt snipers/sniper rifles more than anything else simply because snipers rely on one clean bullet and if it doesn't hit due to packet loss/lag you notice it right away, whereas with ARs or carbines you're either spewing out loads of bullets on full auto so if one doesn't register you won't even notice or you're going at long range and if you miss you just chalk it up to deviation. When you're lag-free sniper is an insanely fun class to play, even with the M95.
