Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

i wish i could play a online game where life matters, most videogames are just a bunch of rambos running around. I would like it to feel more like, thats your only life.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

A lot of people complain that there's no real sniper weapon in BF2. That's because they're looking in the wrong kit. Sure, you'd expect a .50 caliber high velocity round to score an automatic kill at any range under 3000 meters with a headshot. So much for expectations. Regardless of any nonsense anyone here has ever posted, the M95 in BF2 is not an automatic one-shot kill even point blank and zoomed in to the head. Period. This is beyond dispute.

Looks like you aren't using it in the right way then... a headshot always kills (at least with my M95, don't know about yours )

As you said, this game will never be realistic, so its arcade then. Well UT2004 is a arcade game too and it has laser guns. I want some laser guns to BF2 then too.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

People always bitch about something, first its the helo's then the "noob tube", and now were on to the anti-tank class. I think its unfair how much ammo the support class gets, let alone the amount of bullets the saw has. While were on the subject, how come the medic can heal himself and others when hes near death? And whats the deal with special ops hanging out with all the other grunts? How come the sniper gets claymore's and a fancy camo suit? I want that.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

The real sniper weapon is the Eryx. It has longer range, it's guided, it does a lot more damage, and it doesn't need to be a direct hit. Furthermore, it damages every single vehicle in addition to being an automatic one-shot kill vs any soldier.
If you want to be a highly effective sniper, give up the kill assist m95 and go with the Eryx. You'll thank me.

The only time you can take out infantry at long range with an ERYX is if you are presented a perfect situation(the target doesn't see you and is oblivious of a BIG FREAKING ROCKET FLYING AT THEM) or if they are just not believing you can hit then, so they don't move(both situations, a sniper rifle will kill them just as easily). At long range, the Eryx is almost impossible to 'guide' at the last moment because of depth perception...you can see the rocket flying at the target, but at LONG range, it is hard to tell how far away from such a small target the rocket is, so you can't guide it into a target that moves at the last second. In those 'perfect' situations, a sniper rifle is much better.
I am not saying it doesn't work, I have died from taking an Eryx to the head myself, but NEVER...and I honestly mean NEVER has someone killed me from long range with an Eryx where I have seen them shoot, they are so easy to avoid it is a joke. jump to one side and you will have a great survival rate against an Eryx Sniper. Spash damage?? No, I would rather have a target with 2 bars left from my rifle and not know where I am instead of half life and the opportunity to put a bullet between my eyes while I am reloading my Eryx.
All I am saying is to kill infantry at long range with an Eryx, you need to be presented with very good conditions, conditions which, if given to a real sniper, will end in the same result.
Perhaps, instead of comparing the Eryx to the sniper rifle, you should just say that it provides the anti-tankers with an alternative to kill long range targets.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

I'm going to have to disagree with you. You hit the head of that shaft and it explodes and dies everytime. :|:

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

Yeah sucks finding some1, shooting them only to ahve some1 else get the kill >=/ all sniper rifles suck in this game, m95 should be 1 hit kill as long as you hit torso or head

This is a troupling thing. It is stupid to kill PEOPLE with it when its meant to be used on tanks and APCs. But then they can't really kill anyone else.

Sad thing is that the AT in BF2 is highly ineffective against tanks, you'll be lucky if you can fire the 2nd rocket and not get killed

LIES.

It takes two shots to the tracks, four to the body. Apc's can barely take 2, i dont really mind em.. just shoot where the tracers are coming from, he doesnt see you, but you see him.

Re: Eryx Sniper Missile vs .50 Sniper Rifle

simple as this tbh...

if they use it and you are dead and they are alive you are damn right they are gonna keep using it....

you use any bit of resources/skill to your advantage to kill the opposition and if that means using a big fug off missile to kill one guy then sod it do it!

if you died to it oh well the opposition used his advantage and you need to learn to counter it!
