Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

If they made the sniper rifles 1-shot-kill weapons then this would cease to be Battlefield 2 and turn into a half-assed sniper fest with all the idiots choosing to sit and snipe. Most turds who play online play sniper because they want easy kills at long range so they dont get hurt and can rack up the points. If they actually have to get close or be a good shot then it's not something they're interested in, they'll go and try and steal a chopper or bomber instead.

Yes, it's not realistic. No, they better not change it or the game will go down in flames to the sound of people hiding.

the bottom line is: the M95 Sucks Donkey Balls

I wasn't flaming you, it's the truth, yes, a .308 round can be stopped by body armor, not much, but it's possible. BUt if it does hit a ceramic block it will bounce off it, i didn't mean that to mock you, cause everybody knows that those ceramic blocks are designed to stop bullets going to the general direction of the heart. I'm sorry if you took that as an offense to you, i didn't mean it that way, i was just speaking the truth.

You seem to have read a little about ballistics. However, you just dont quite understand the principle of how energy is transfered from one object to another.

Ever seen the video of the SWAT guy that volunteered to test a new vest they just got in? The guy was 6'4" and approx. 250lbs. He was a big man. They shot him in the chest with a .22LR handgun @ roughly 10 feet. It knocked him off his feet, was gasping for air... and swore it hurt more than anything he'd ever felt... but he was alive. It fractured one of his ribs as well. Now tell me a .308 won't penetrate... and if it DIDN'T... the amount of energy being dispersed into the person's chest would be similar to having a railroad linemen come down on you full force with a 12lb sledge hammer.

Having been in combat situations with the US ARMY, I can tell you first hand: BODY ARMOR is intended mainly to stop shrapnel from killing you. It is NOT designed to stop direct impact from RIFLE's. Handguns, yes... Rifles... NO!

EDIT: i've never seen that video, could ya tell me where to find it, thanks.

Ok, well, i havn't read much on my body armor, i'm mostly a weapons junkie.And for my last post i meant not most times, but sometimes it happens, instead of not much. But yes, if it did not penetrate the vest there would be blunt trauma that could also kill a person. And body armor is also great against smgs and 12 gauge shottys. But of course the developers at BF2 made body armor simple, it takes out 33% of the damage done to you, so lets say you were assault, and an enemy shot you with 1shot of a M16, all unarmored classes would have taken 30/100 damage, but armored classes would take only 20/100 damage. It's realy kinda stupid, but that's because EA didn't concentrate on a lot of things in this game, like bunny hopping, nooblaunchers etc.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

the power of a sniper's rifle is meant for 1 shot 1 kill. Anything from the waist up would be death.

the m95 is too weak and too unaccurate. I just love aiming on a guy for 3 seconds and missing his body.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

I love my M95, and after about 8 hrs of testing with my pals on Kubra Dam, have come to realise that it has the exact same accuracy as the m24, the only difference is that it has the inclusion of much greater bullet drop(due to its larger round), which very few people know, this is what causes people so much frustration when they have the crosshair directly on the person, and the bullet completly misses.

With the M95 for long distance shots, you have to actually aim above your target for the bullet to hit. Try this with a friend on a large map with little fog, such as Kubra dam, and try hitting eachother from over 700 meters. At that range the m24 has a slight bullet drop, but with the m95, you must be using the first marker line below the crosshair.

Factors that increase bullet drop are: Being bellow your target forces you to aim higher to adjust as the bullet drop is increased. Being above your target reduces the bullet drop, so adjust accordingly.

And if anyone still has doubt's about this, get a friend and create your own server on 64 kubra dam, and have eachother engage eachother at extreme distance, and try to hit him by aim directly at him. You should notice that it is impossible, and that your bullets are landing quite a ways infront of him. Then try slowly moving your crosshair above him, and firing, until you get a hit. You should notice the crosshair when you fired was quite a ways above him as you fired. Try the same with the m24 and you should notice there is minimal drop. You should also notice that nomatter how far you space yourselves apart, that with the correct judgement of the bullet drop, the M95 is perfectly accurate, and will always be capable of hitting any target at any range, right up to the very max of your field of view.

So in conclusion, the M95 has an effective range of well beyond your max field of view, but has increased bullet drop compared to the m24 creating the illusion of it being more inaccurate. Dont beleive me, try for yourself.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

Yeah, why do so many people say "that is so g-a-y" I had to put the dashes because it will make them the word g ay into asterisks. I mean it offends people that are really g ay because it makes them feel mor different, people commit hate crimes on g ay peoples, in fact a lot of g ay people suicide. They're not bad, or evil, or breaking any laws, they're just different, they're just attracted to the same gender instead of the opposite gender, lay of saying that something is g ay, it makes whoever says that look like a teenager, cause since when i was in high school (like 6-7 years ago) everybody said, that is so g ay. They do that so much, don't be one of those immature teenagers.

Gay = happy
homosexual = bum toucher

now dont make me tell you again :P

and yes the M95 is complete crud and sniping blackhawk pilots is almost impossible, wish i had unlocked the G3 now

Uh oh... I touch me wife's bum all the time. I've been living a lie and I didn't even know it! :cry:

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

The M95 doesn't suck, you suck.

Seriously, get some practise with it and you will be popping headshots all day long.

You have to aim above the target, no matter who says what, ive tested it and you have to some times. Get on the huge chimney on FuShe Pass, and snipe at the factory you can see below that outpost in northeast, you have to aim at the enemy using the "6" on the scope to be accurate.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

You sir are one of the few people who know of the bullet drop, i congratulate you on that, very few people dont realise it exists, and simply beleive the m95 has " bad accuracy". The truth is the M95 is perfectly accurate to well beyond the max field of view, its just that you have to adjust to the bullet drop accordingly for a hit. Once you know how to use this gun, it is much deadlier than the m24, so please dont call it a **** gun.

Yep, i second that, i definately do not regret unlocking it.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

Why do people make these kinds of threads. If the sniper was a 1 shot kill it would be overpowerd. especially in BF with so much open and vast gaming area.Why do all the classses want to be on equal terms with the assult class when it comes to head on fight. Why doesn't anyone think if balance, you people won't stop untill every class has armor, can heal itself, can resupply itself, and has stinger autimaticly.
I mean for craying out loud, 50% of the time I played this game I played it with an attack helo, and yet I would like to see the AA and Tow made undestructable to balance the game better out.

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

How many times does it have to be said that the M95 does ~95% damage? Thats basically a one shot kill.

Snipers do not rule the game anymore. Get used to it. Cap some flags.

Snipers dont rule but the n00b launcher does
lol

1 easy skilless shot kill

makes no sense

Re: The M95 is a total piece of sh1t

Yah the M95 is by far the best sniper, and a great unlock, you just have to know how to use it to be succeful with it. Ive shot down plenty of choppers with it, each one makes that rifle seem like the best unlock to me.

[K-Boom]

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
