Let's talk .50 cal, shall we?

[b` m3ow]

Yea yea, It's another whine thread. Get over it, IW needs to see this, and if they don't well then people can make their post count go up by crying with me

*now read the whole thing... Then post.. Good boy..*

Alright, the story starts back on Nov 10, when I got my new .50 cal from the factory (why thank you IW). Ok, strapped on UAV Jammer and Iron Lungs, check and done. Join up a server with a bunch of nubs try to act cool with their M4 spamming. Done.. Get a nice sniper spot on Overgrown, and plant 2 claymores next to me incase of a anal attack (). See two guys in my scope. One coming across a bridge, dead on at high noon. I steady the gun for 2 seconds until no more sway, aim for the head and BOOM! Gone :yay: His brain is on that tanker truck back there :) Cool effect.. Now another guy coming across bridge.. I steady the gun, and take the shot.. Hit him dead on.. Still walking (WTF??!!? HAX). Take another hit him.. (again WTF??HAXOR)).. Take another (WTF!!?! MOFO HAXOR SOB!!).. Still walks away... Ohh man was I pissed off like a mofo. End of that server...


So to sum it up, I used the .50 cal since. Trying to see what is the problem with it, and it comes to IW thinks the .50 cal is a nice gun but they make it look like a BB gun shooting a pumpkin Ohh and before you post saying use "stopping power" .. I did, and it didn't work either.


I mean (this is going to Real Life for a second) a .50 cal with 1 shot will go right through someone and make a nice hole in their body... But no, IW makes the n00b tube (m203) powerful, but ohh dear lord.. It's going to get spammed anyway

But instead, they make the most powerful sniper in the world , and they turn it into a gun that holds no value (all most like the Mp44!!).. If your going to add it, make it nice....


Thats my rant! NOW FOLLOW ME FUTURE .50 CAL SNIPERS!! FOLLOW ME~!!!

Now you read it, and now you click "Reply" .... There ya go :)


P.S. Why the F*X you have the Mp44 in a Modern game?? ( I can see maybe bring back memory's of CoD2, but this isn't CoD2 is replaced with a 4 not a 2.)

It seems the second shot you took was lag, and by the sound of it, the rest were just squeezed off before steadying the sniper.

It's going to get spammed but what do they care, they get the big $$$$$$$$$$$$ everyweek.

If you want IW to take you seriously in your requests, I'd leave anything ridiculing them, out.

[b` m3ow]

Good point spike, took that line out.. And no, the other shots were not lag shots.. And yes they were steady.. Also, I been playing with the .50 for the past week and I still get the same outcome with every second shot, when I re-steady again.

It's just the first shot should kill, not the 2nd or 3rd.

I really wish IW would read that and look at it and think. (Ok, many people don't sniper, most M4 spam or m203 spam. Let's have the sniper community have one decent 1 shot and their dead gun).

I'm with ya m3ow. In the few times I've gotten my hands on a Barret (still ranked 47 D=) it seems to have the same accuracy as my beloved M21, mmkay cool, same rate of fire, nice, but then I take a shot and WTF, they have the same power too? I can see the M21 not killing in 1 shot, but the Barret has 1.5 times the power on the menu! It shows as equal to the R700, that sucker kills in 1 hit (don't get me started on "it's a bolt action!") so you'd think this would too.

Even with Stopping Power, it's not killed in one shot. It's teh br0k3ns most of all the snipers, IMO.

But the MP44, no one said it was good, it's just there for fun and comparison to the ownage that is today's weapons.

[Spik3d]

I don't know about you guys, but when I get a confirmed hit on somebody's head without juggernaut, it's always a kill. You have to steady the sniper for a good two or so seconds before firing to get a hit. With the .50cal I got a kill on one shot chest/neck shots. I'm not sure what you guys are talking about... :hmm:

[TheEndofWar]

On the IRL tip...

I don't think I could run 50 yards with a Barrett .50 cal and still be able to shoot straight, or even from the standing position. I think most of the WTF moments can be attributed to the fact that IF made this a game with rules. Modern combat is only the theme. This is not a murder simulator. If the Barrett was more like real life in firepower everyone would go play another game because the game would be dominated by advanced players who had already unlocked the Barrett and would be no fun for anyone else.

Caveat.Caveat.Caveat.

[Kodakk]

Snipe on hardcore, it's much more satisfying. Normally one hit brings them to last stand even with the M40.

Anyways, I do agree with you on the .50 cal damage.

I've noticed the same thing. The very first shot it gold, but unless you wait 5 seconds THEN steady you can forget the rest of the shots hitting the target.

I have had people running at me, and had the cross hairs on there chest and missed. Sniping in general in this game is off.

[Kodakk]

^^ Agreed.
*Edit, that was directed at cable.

[-Shifty-]

Well, the few moments I did use Barrett, it own3d ****.


The only thing I have to complain about is the fact that you can see a guy in a guillie like a boulder in a field, up close you can't be seen but 50m+ it's HORRIBLE

[Kodakk]

^^ I've noticed that as well. *tear

Balancing?

I'm pretty sure a 50. Cal shot is a kill anywhere in Hardcore mode.

[UKseagull]

That's a fair comment.

Perhaps there should be some kind of a player server ladder, i.e as you climb through the ranks, you get to move on to the next level of servers that have higher ranked players than were available to you before.

Balance this, balance that. Every game can't be about balance, sure it might make people happy. But a freaking .50 cal?? Balancing that?? That just plain stupid and a dumb choice. You work all the way up to lvl 49, get the .50 and it still can't kill in one hit, when a M40 or R700 can do just that?

Yet CEVO League, wants to take out the .50 cal because some claim to be overpower? what are they smoking when they said that? OK then, take out the M40, R700 , M21 and the SVD. Ohh wait, that's all of them.. HAHA nub rules ftw.


IW really needs to look at the .50 cal is all I'm saying.


@ReaperOfsouls: Yup, shoot the guy. Wait for it too steady, and he's out of your scope and gone, that's why it needs to be buffed.


@Spik3d: Well know DUH, you hit him in the head, not a chest.. What were you thinking :shakehead

@TheEndofWar: Everybody leave the game?? No, know one would. To get a max lvl of 55, it took me 2 days playing HQ and S&D. No one will leave the game, they would get a BOOST of joy and play the game non-stop till they get lvl 49 and get a hold of it.
