Cone of fire, love it.

Best feature of the game, imo. :yay:

Re: It's official: I can't kill snipers

NO, it's not lack of aim or cone of fire. I'm playing on IMA right now with Karkand.

I was scoped with F2000 and shooting directly into a sniper charging into my bullets, and he lived long enough to lay a claymore, and move out to the left before someone killed me. I hit him with 10 bullets full on.

I think the F2000 needs 4 shots to kill.....so this is not right. If you are registering hits but they are not server side, then its a lag issue. Poxy net code

if you cant kill a sniper you shouldn't be playing.

G3 is awesome great Aim in single shot and a good burst and auto fire which is still accurate. only dissadvantage is it dose not get any special equipment.

Re: It's official: I can't kill snipers

What you experience in-game and what I experience in-game can differ greatly, due to many factors inside and outside of the game. To say my experience is not valid, just because you haven't experienced it, doesn't help me at all. So keep the flaming to yourself, or be constructive.

Lolz, flaming? When you said that you would not respond to my posts any more cause I disagreed with you I said that it was because you could not argue my logic. Nothing in my posts is anything close to flames you see on this forum... And you chose to answer that post not this one, which, except for one minor despute about the body size of snipers no one can answer Again you were avoiding a disagreement where you could not show that you were right.

That happens all the time, but stick out when a bunnyhopping sniper throwing down clays gets away. Why?
In most players eyes they think snipers should go down quickly in CQC, also people get annoyed by clay spam so this pisses them off even more, making it stick out.
I bet that bunnyhopping medics have done the same thing, but it seems less annoying, noobish, and bizarre and so sticks out less.
or the answer could be

Magic
Snipers are protected by a powerful spell while throwing down claymores and also have a smaller force shield of protection around them at normal times, although it is not as potent as the spell around them when they throw clays.

Now, I biased the "magic" part a bit, but the first explanation makes more sense than a bizarre, unproven, and disputed glitch/bug that snipers are equipped with at random and while throwing claymores.

My Experience: I have played Karkand for 472 hours and although I have seen my fair share of snipers evade death while throwing clays, it is not a frequently occuring event that happens many more times than with any other kit. I also have over 100 hours as a sniper and have never noticed being able to escape fire while throwing claymores in unexplained ways.

I have. Maybe the people I played against were utter ****e, but I've had squads of people unable to touch me until both those claywhores were down. In true Karkand style, I was taken out by a grenade or 6 each time.

Re: It's official: I can't kill snipers

Ever thought that it could just be down to crappy pings / lag ?

I cant say Ive ever come across a problem killing snipers....or being killed as a sniper for that matter.

Re: It's official: I can't kill snipers

Well I am not a very good player, so I usually don't think much of my lousy aim, kdr etc -- it's just ME haha -- but there have been a couple of instances that have really stood out. Both were when I was USMC engy, playing as commander, prone. Shotgun out. Both times, a bad guy came up and knelt down beside me to get his free knife kill, but I was waiting for him and blasted him with the shottie. BUT. In one case it took two shots to kill him, and in the other it took three! Three shots at point blank range with the USMC shotgun to kill a dude. So yeah I can definitely see where there can just be come weirdness in different situations.

btw there have been a few times also when I was standing up, and some yoohoo tries to sneak up on my, and I blast him in the face, one shot, goodbye bad guy. But that was standing up.

Man I love that though.... zooming in and watching the bad guy try to be all stealth tactical sneaking up on me, then I slip out of command screen and lay still pretending to still be in, watching this doofus crawl up towards me, and then BLAMMO right in the chops hahahaha. One guy I did this to *three times in a row* before he finally gave up.

You should never be prone with a shotgun, and if it happened only twice that is not quite conclusive evidence pointing towards special sniper abilities. Weird instances like that happen in such small numbers (2) with everything in every way possible.

Hey Bob, thanks for the reply! Yeah, I guess "twice" is not much of a sample lol... it was just so weird having to shoot that dude three times with the shotgun. But why not be prone with the shotgun, maybe the pellets do not all hit the target or something? I just proned to hide better I guess, as commander. I'll try standing up or something next time, because you are right, I blow the bad guys away with one shot when standing up. thanks!
