Final Sniper Rant (Maybe)

[Kodakk]

Alright,
Just got done playing another round of One Shot One Kill.

Now, if I'm getting this right, that mission is supposed to essentially simulate a real long range sniper shot. You've got your time to impact, wind speed, etc. You even have a spotter confirming your target.

Now tell me why a simulated sniper mission would have absolutely no crosshair sway, NONE, not even a little bit. However, you go into multiplayer and your crosshairs sway as though you just ran a 20 mile marathon, got drunk, then picked up a rifle.

I know the sniping has long been debated, but I just realized that IW made sniping completely, not just with silencers, different between MP and SP.

Opinions, comments, questions, concerns, flames?

The Barrett in single player had a bi-pod and if it were to sway, it shouldn't even be that much (come to think of it, it should've had some sway). The snipers in multiplayer however, do not use bi-pods and are fairly heavy (not saying in SP they aren't). Yes, a Marine, S.A.S. member, etc. would train to be able to hold it steadily, but it's about balance. No real reason to give other than that.

If snipers had silencers, they would just be too powerful. There'd be no way of spotting them and if that was the case, it would not be balanced as well as it is now. If, like somebody else said, your scope was taken away for a silencer, I'd be fine with it. Just like whoever said this, the M14 is a perfect example of this, either a sight or a silencer (or GL, but that's not relevant). But if you had the M21, with it's already-mounted scope, plus a silencer, and you've got something that's not very balanced, IMO.

It's all about balance, balance, balance...

yeah u right the rifle didnt have any sway and even if there is a bipod theres no way for a human being to hold it completely still

[solofowaffles]

Considering how heavy the barret is and the fact that he might have been wearing a shooting vest,there would be virtually no sway

You could always just put something under the butt of the rifle to have no sway as well.

i agree with the balance thing but snipers are supposed to be undetectable.

Even in IW doesn't put in silenced sniper rifles we'll get a mod with them eventually.

yes i really cant wait for the mods in this game, the good days of CSS source playing on modded servers with hilariously stupid maps. Going to be great fun.

I just want more weapon's, I don't care to much for moded map's I like the stock map's it is just all the server's try to push 32 people on a map that is ment for 8 player's, 16 player's and a few for 24 player's..

I hear that, 32 players on Shipment is disastrous lol :dead:

[Lt Davis]

I can't stand small maps if there are two players on the server. Bigger maps > smaller maps

When the mod tools hit, It will be easy and to add a Silencer to the M21 in MP.

Just wait

how about just a silencer for the bolt actions(m40 & R700),

[L3adcannon]

I can see it now, every single one in the server being a sniper, hiding somewhere.
Yeah, fun as hell.

^^ Well, people complain about the sniping, how would a silencer change that? It wouldn't.

People get so frustrated with sniping and dying because they don't have a P90 that they give it up, silencer or no silencer.

A video game without balance, is not a fun video game.

It's the same thing.

Yes it would. You have nothing to back that up.
