Re: sniper kit wrong

a sniper also gets to change the elevation and windage on the scope... and IRL the enemy soldiers don't dolphin-dive either...

If you want realism, TRUE realism, join the military. if you want to be able to re-spawn, just cope with the game as is...

To me, nothing beats firing off a few rounds from the M95 at a chopper pilot and stopping it taking off...

IRL i'd get popped by the airfield defensive team and not be able to respawn.


I'd much prefer to see a death as a chance to slurp a Diet Coke and eat a Choccie Bar rather than the end of my time on earth. lol

Re: sniper kit wrong

i now im going to be criticized for saying this but the sniper kit is wrong in real life snipers dont have claymoore and they carry an assult rifle do defend themselfs along with the rifle and they need binoculars.

in real life, people don't get to open a parachute 20 times in a row without ever having to repack it. in real life, people don't live by falling 3000 feet and then opening their chute six inches from the ground.

get over it.

it's video game, it's set the way it is so that there is some sort of balance. last thing this game needs is someone being able to kick *** up close with an assault rifle and be able to pick your head off from a mile away.

not sure what the video game is going to do for your military carreer, but alrighty.

Re: sniper kit wrong

He's just a kid. He doesn't know what he's talking about, but go easy on him. He wants to think that playing a video game is like training himself for the military.

If he's anything like most young recruits I know, he'll still keep playing totally unrealistic, fantasy-land games like BF2 even after he's been in the mil for a couple of years. Maybe even moreso.

Only difference is he'll laugh when playing the game, instead of being all serious like now. Everyone should just lighten up on him and the realism - the game's a fantasy.

Re: sniper kit wrong

Actually i think thuis makes a lot of sense. The sniper should have a light machine gun as the primary and the sniper rifle should be the special weapon (like c4, rocket launcher, medpack) and no clays. smoke bombs instead of grenades would also make sense.

When I see a sniper walking around I know he doesn't stand a chance against a scar-l at close range so I always pull out my knife to kill them. If they had a real gun I'd think twice. Also, when I played sniper I mainly used my knife.

Re: sniper kit wrong

sigh...i'm all for realism to a point, but DICE needed to balance the game. If we made snipers true to life in the game, they would efectively be a super-assault kit. And we'd get dopplegangers to! (we need spotters you know.) ANd wed get to adjust our scopes for wind, and estimate distances....

wrong and wrong again. snipers themselves never carry assault rifles. however, the spotter does. typically an m4 variant or an m16a2/a4.

and about the claymores, special forces (seals, combat controllers,delta etc.) the designated marksman/sniper often carrys claymores because the the of the small size of the unit. keep in mind that these snipers are often crosstrained in demolition unlike the ones in the Marine corps.

Re: sniper kit wrong

so you want snipers to be equally as dangerous up close as they are far away. Snipers main goal isnt a frontal assault, the one thing that makes the sniper kit balanced is that it is dangerous from far away, yet once you get up close to him he is at a disadvantage, wich is how it should stay.

The sniper kit is powerful enough, giving him an MP-5 would make him unstoppable

Yeah I agree in a sense it would really just become the claymore class. In close quarters they would lay claymores stand back and shoot anyone who doesn't get blown up by them.

Re: sniper kit wrong

Man, its painful to see you guys get hung up on such wrong notions.

The primary role of mos snipers is................ scouting. With a smaller logistic footprint, and long range optics, the primary weapons of the sniper if often his RADIO.

With links to SLCM, ALCM, JADAMs the modern sniper need never to use his rifle in order to inflict damage upon the enemy.

Now, in BF2, the role is not strictly the scout/sniper but a marksman.

And in real life, marksman do use variants of service rifles. M21, SIG550-sniper, and M16 match variants are just some that comes to mind.

Alot of Western nations are able to do this because the original mechanic tolerance in the service weapons are percise, which in turn contributes to their reduced endurance compare to the AK series.

AKs in general have a higher tolerance, and thus are able to function despite fauling. Therefore, the eastern bloc developed the SVD, which is comparable to the M21.

Now, sniper can and do use delay mechanisms like claymore. Back in NAM, there is a dedicated device. smaller than the M18, uses trip wires and look like small slices of cheese, but I forgot the nomenclature. e

But in general their kits are smaller due to the need for concealment.

================================================== =======

No matter what other say....... BF2 captures the general look and feel of modern military, and especially the combined arms factor.

I would not call it simulation, but its alot more than what every other game has done thus far.

Re: sniper kit wrong

This has been discussed before many times. We can't change what the kit has so let's move on.

Use what you have and own. I have alot of fun as a sniper and have played many hours as sniper. It is easy enough to own and get your expert with out bino's.

**As for what a sniper has they also have a spoter that goes with them but they dont give you an AI in the kit either for that matter.

Re: sniper kit wrong

IRL snipers have spotters

[IDC-Shorly]

Re: sniper kit wrong

IRL snipers run around for their country, sacrificing their lives, by running around in cities, putting out two claymores, since they dont get triggered by friendlis. Then, they do the heroic thing of sacrificing themselves, just to get two of the enemies down.

What a great curriage, what a brilliant tactic. Truly the the jewel of modern weapon-technolgy, the auto-enemy detection :cry:
