Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

ok, lets just get rid of every weapon that could be used to pick people off from long distances. sooo we run around with shotties?

...and by the way. for you assholes saying that the weapons arent realistic. join the ****ing military. i dont know if you people have noticed, but THIS IS A GAME. and its fun. if you dont like that its not realistic then go make your own video game. dont complain to us on a forum.

this guy has got a point, if you want realism then get americas army.
I played it on the xbox online..omg it is soo fun when you get ppl that teamwork but unfortunately it has more glitches than bf 2142 and walking through doors take PRACTICE not joking ppl get mowned down in doors because the door for about 3 seconds acted like a WALL.

but its still fun online..ONLINE ONLY the single player SUCKS SOO BAD the events and gameplay are so finely scripted that after 3 deaths you start memorizing lines and orders and the exac amountof second until some guy says "suppressive fire..move up".

i cant begin to explain all the ways that single player is gay so i wont...

anyway bf2 isnt about realism...k?

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

Yes, but make snipers very weak, even weaker then they are now armor-wise so that if they even are seen, they die.

Right now they're toting around a huge (at least in real-life) M95 armor piercing sniper rifle, jump->proning with it, running into a nest of enemies laying claymores and throwing nades.

"Combat sniper" is a term that should not exist in BF2. Make their sniping power powerful, but make them die by throwing a rock at them.


Then obviously, you've never tried to tote around an M95, or shot one for that matter. Then you'd say it's totally unrealistic.

The power of the weapons has been dealt with quite well. You cant have the m95 or any of the sniper rifles for that matter be as powerful or devestating as their real life counterpart, because that would cause an imbalance int he game, like in CS. You would get every noob owning with a sniper rifle without even aiming because it kills u instantly regardless of where it hits.

Where as now, if you want to kill someone with one shot you got to make that shot count and aim for a really small hit zone. It takes skill, experience and practice.

The game isnt about realisim, its a "relaxed realism" game, so it has to tweak elements to create a balance so gaming can be as fair as possible. Its tweaks like this that help make the game more playable, without this particuarlar tweak this thread would have been an "OMFG - Snipers a re n00bz! " thread about how "gay" snipers are coz their weapons pwn everyone so easily.

Oh and lol, yea I was a royal marine sniper for 2 years so im fairly familiar with the Barratt

no, it takes lots of time and luck to be able to pull off those 1shot headies from far away.

and there are improvements that can be made that will make sniping less frustrating, whilst keeping it from being a rail gun. that would be a more powerful zoom, incase you didnt know.

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

The Hitboxes on bf2 are appaling at times, you spend ages lining up a shot on somebody almost out into the fog and then you miss 4 times, it's really frustrating.

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

an improved zoom would be ok but i dont agree that there is a serious hit box issue. its probably down to ypur own hardware or servers u play on,

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

Sniping was nerfed, if you say, but also the class is overpowered in other ways, like laying instant claymores while on the run or retreat, leading a charge at the frontline of forces as though it were the Assault class, etc. In some ways snipers need a revamp, in others a tweaking.

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

Having played fps games for a while i was amazed at the (lack of) accuracy with the sniper rifles. The first few times ive played and having lined someone up (head) only to have this person not die is one of the most frustrating things Ive seen. I always employed the sniper rifles in cod and cod 2 made it even more difficult but at least you could bloody kill someone with a headshot

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

snipings easier in bf2 cuz the scope doesnt move with the repiratory cycle

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

They already made sniping easier, you used to have to "hold over" slightly above an enemies head @ long range, now you just put the crosshairs on his head @ any range, & get a kill every time

As a matter of fact they reduced "hold over" twice from a lot, to a little, to nothing, gg EA/Dice, after learning "holdover" you made the most abused kit even more "noob friendly"

I almost never miss a head of another sniper sitting still (19 out of 20) w/ the fine crosshairs of the L96, If he kills me it because he was faster, not because my headshots aren't accurate, & deadly

As a matter of fact I will aim @ the neck, & get kills every time because the head "hitbox" seems to extend down into the neck/collarbone area

When I do miss (like when you move your crosshair inadverdently) I can see how I missed, & I swear I missed this guys head by an inch, or 2, & it still recorded a hit, & a kill, I believe the head hitbox is also slightly wider than the head

Even if you miss the head he is down to 2 bars, & will die from a hit anywhere on the body

I do not believe there are any hit detection issues w/ non moving targets (counter sniping) @ any ping

I also usually don't waste my time, & expose my self by shooting @ moving targets unless they are running almost directly @ me, or away from me

It may sound like a boastful claim but it isn't really, because I really don't snipe, I am not a sniper, I prefer to get in close w/ the support, or assault weapons, I only pick up the sniper rifle to counter snipe snipers out of necessity, but I am starting to like it (when they are a lot of them on the other team) who.........

1. Are almost always a non moving target
2. Usually give you nothing but a headshot

While 9 out of 10 snipers sit on rooftops, hilltops, & in corners like you can't see them, I do not, I ALWAYS find cover, & play "peek a boo" (pop up) w/ other snipers

I pop up, look around, if I don't see anything in 1 second I duck, I keep doing this until I aquire a target, after that I pop up, aim, & shoot that head

I even shot a face sticking thru a wall the other day rotflmao

Once I went 3 rounds in a row w/ out being killed 26-0, 14-0, 16-0 using this method in Jalalabad IO (got a gold the first round), & yes, I did get revived a few times

If they made sniping any easier it would ruin the game

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

If they made sniping any easier it would ruin the game

if they made it easier, then people would fear snipers (like they should) and they would have to use their brains and take cover whilst travelling across the map. unlike now where they can pretty much run everywhere holding a medic pack and rarely die.

Re: My opinion on sniping in Bf2

Bulletdrop was never changed, because weapon speed on all the weapons was never changed. I play sniper most of the time and on distances from 0 - 500 meters I have found nothing different from when I started playing this game.
Stop spreading false information and confusing the smurfs and nubs SB.

Especially for you a revised version of the drop table ...
