    sights way off some times.

    i don't know if this is just my computer or if other people are getting it. when i play sniper every so offen the sights are off. i've shot 12-15 round and didn't hit a thing, but my shots where right on. so i switch to pistol and shot a few rounds into the ground in front of me (close range) switch to the sniper rifle and now i can't miss. this has happed to me around 20 times.

    well lastnight i was playing medic and i'm right behind a guy and i empty a full clip into his back. not one hit, i thought i saw my rounds hitting the ground by his feet. it also wasn't bad hit boxes since i didn't see any puffs of dust coming off of him. so i pull the pistol and empty it into a wall and then i can hit what i aimed at.

    i did get a funny shot after that playing medic. there was a sniper on a tall roof and you could just see the gun and the edge of his head. i went to spot him but the gun shot one round and killed him with a head shot :laugh: the gun wasn't even zoomed in.

    anyone else ever notice this?

      a few things you need to know:

      1.) if it is a distance shot, compensate for bullet drop

      2.) if you actually hit someone in bf2, chances are the hit didnt register

          i know about hits and it not registering. but i wasn't even hitting the guy. i was right behind him and if you hit them and it doesn't register you'll see dust fly off him and you can hear it hit.

          trust me i don't snipe much but i have no problem hitting guys on wake from the us spawn island. but i was missing very close shots. i got in the server and went threw two mags without a hit before i tried the pistol and then i hit every shot after that. since then i pull the pistol out after a few misses sniping.

          this was the first time i noticed it with another gun. i think now i know why some rounds i couldn't hit any thing.

            I had two upgrades to use yesterday so I got the L96A1 and the G3. Jumped into a map with the G3 and let off a few short bursts at some guy. No hits so I change to single shot and tried again, still no hits. I got closer and just let rip this time and i could see the rounds going round this guy but no hits not a single one.

            Might just try your trick and see if it works.

            By the way I didn't want to start a new thread with this queary as it's probably me being dumb, but I have both sniper unlocks but can't seem to choose the L96A1 once in game. Any ideas?

              1. are you playing vanilla?
              2. can you use any unlocks?

                      not sure if your talking to me or not. but i alway restart before i play and the HD was defraged not long ago and did a clean windows install around 6 months ago. i get frame rates in the 60's-90's

                      dam, had another odd thing today. the game won't let me run low terrain with out giving be huge black spots and hills since patch 1.41. today i changed my setting and when i got into the game everything was maxed. so i check the setting and there where i set them. D-shadows was off in the setting but on high in the game what a pain 1.41 has been for me. i believe the setting are right now. but D shadows looks like it's on low not off like i have in the setting.

                          I thought there is no bullet drop in BF2?
