The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

Actually, they should make sniper rifles accurate, but sniping more realistic

How?

Add movement when aiming in zoom view, like you see in other games such as Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, America's Army, etc

The day they do that to this game... is the day I quit playing it.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

Yah i was kinda dissapointed with no scope breathing feature, as it is very realistic. They couldv included it, along with the option to hold your breath for a few seconds to make a hard shot(such as farcry) and you would have a little meter(sprint meter like) showing how long you could hold your breath(about 30 sec seams reasonable for balance). One thing i was looking forward to aswell was multiple levels of zoom, but i guess the system we have know is good. There is still travel time and bullet drop, which make it fairly realistic.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

You have to aim above the target, no matter who says what, ive tested it and you have to some times.

Note: I have never seen anything that makes me think the game has 'bullet drop' for sniper rifles.

However, (for all sniper rifles) you should always aim at the 'upper' part of a target - it increases the odds of a headshot, reduces the effects of bunny hopping and reduces the odds of being bitten by a LoD bug. [this is vitally important if you are counter-sniping, you will do far, far better by 'aiming high'].

Having said that, I'd take the m24 over the m95 every day of the week.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

The m95 has increased bullet drop than the m24, try the test i posted on page 4, that proves the exsitence of bullet drop. With the m95 for long range shots, you have to actually aim above your target slightly for it to be a hit due to the bullet drop.

And beleive me once you master judging the bullet drop, theres no reason to use the m24, as they both have the same accuracy(trust me on this, there both perfectly accurate way past your max field of view, so there is no difference, that deviation difference is meaningless) but the m95 comes with many other usefull features such as body armor penetration(kill assist with every shot no matter what), armored glass piercing(ive at least killed over 30 chopper/jet pilots to date) and the substancial dmg to vehicles(unlike the m24, which dmg to vehicles is almost none existent.) So once you learn how to properly use the m95 for range sniping it is a much better rifle than the m24.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

1st the M24 and M95 are amazing
If you cant get any kills with the M95 you suck!
The gun shouldnt be a 1 shot kill weapon man, we would have to many noobs with 50. cals, I mean aim for the head get some skill's
It probably a good thing you peps cant use the sniper, you guys who cant shot should stop wasting ammo and go help the team.
The M95 was my 2nd unlock and it rocks. Come on
I mean I shot to the body will do 98 point of damage out of 100
It will go threw body armor, and Ive taken out helo's and planes with this beast.:laugh:

I'll have to try that - but I would be 'very surprised' if this was the case.

but the m95 comes with many other usefull features such as body armor penetration(kill assist with every shot no matter what)

Whilst the m95 does pierce armour (and IMHO is the only useful benefit to this weapon), the m24 gets the same kill assist.

armored glass piercing(ive at least killed over 30 chopper/jet pilots to date)

To say I find this ability "less than overwhelming" is a huge understatement.

and the substancial dmg to vehicles(unlike the m24, which dmg to vehicles is almost none existent.)

Maybe I'm being stupid, but I can't see how this is remotely useful.

To be balanced, you should also mention:
- the scope on the m95 is very annoying.
- the m95 is slightly louder than the average atomic weapon.

For whatever reason, when playing Spec Ops I seem to be able to take out m95 users 'more regularly than I would expect'.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

At least give the weapon more accuracy and more "ZOOM" if u guys think one hit kills r cheap. the Barretts r supposed to be the most accurate weapons!!

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

I agree the M95 is ****, when I first unlocked it (My 1st ) I used to a few times then consigned it to the dusty gun rack..... The only time I ever use it now is when I am MEC/PLA so I dont have to use their crap snipers.

All the talk about .50 cal and 308's etc etc .... THIS IS NOT A SIM.... getting shot in the chest with any gun wont do u any good, be it a pistol or a .50cal. Play on :P

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

I must admit, the scope is annoying, but those lines beneath the crosshair are usefull for lining up long range shots. To test the bullet drop, just join an empty server with a friend and try sniping eachother from as far away as possible. With the m95 you have to start using the bars beneath the crosshair. I beleive the first bar needs to be used for around 500 meters, using the 3d map to mesure, although id have to test again to be sure. And elevation also plays a factor in the drop aswell, shooting upwards there is more drop than normal.

The body armor penetration is a very usefull features, your right, as it leaves the armoured target with only 5 health, instead of 35 health, so if its close range, you can quickly follow up with one pistol round to put him down.

This feature is great for shutting down flag capping blackhawks foolish enough to hover. You can snipe the pilot, then repeatidly shutdown anyoneelse who gets in the pilot seat. This will almost always result in the hawk returing to base to pick up another passenger, thus allowing you to keep the flag.

As for the dmg vehicles feature, it can be usefull for picking on helicopters if you are unable to hit the driver. It takes around 20 rounds to kill a chopper with full health, so if you see a smoking chopper, fire off a few rounds into it and you could very well take it down. But other than that its not much of a very usefull feature, but it can be on some occasions.

As for noise, I have no trouble finding both rifles, buts its fairly obvious the m95 is much louder(its a .50 cal for gods sake). But besides you should only hear the good sniper when your dead anyways. And id rather have the enemys come to me, as it is easier to sniper at close rnage, and it is easier to snipe them when they stop to shoot. And if they try to sneak up on me, theyll find my claymores blowing up in there faces, so noice isnt really a problem for me.

And most M95 snipers arent that great, as most dont know how to use the rifle properly(by adjusting for the bullet drop) and just bitch about the accuracy. The starter of this thread is a good example.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

they should at least make it one shot one kill to unarmored targets. though its still reasonable to think that armor guys can take the shot and live(still not as realistic as some want, including me, but i'll be satisfied)

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

I could have sworn there was NOT bullet drop in the game, you sure you haven't just found a flaw in the Random deviation?

...I mean, it would be odd for there to be bullet drop on only ONE weapon.

Awww... would that be too hard for you? Wouldn't want a game to actually challenge you, now would we?

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

There is also bullet drop on the m24, its just less than the m95, but it only starts to apply for very long shots. And trust me the deviation on the m95 doesnt play a factor, until the shot is way out of your max field of view, so unless you have a fov hack and are sniping people from over 2000 meters, they have the same basic accuracy, its just that most people dont know about the bullet drop, and simply claim the rifle is inaccurate.
