About to unlock Sniper, since patch says Sniper rifle more realistic

[Deez]

I found in a thread that the patch will make sniper rifle more realistic. What does this mean actually? As you know the sniper rifle sucks now, takes 2-3 shots and is pretty much horrible. Anyone know about this rumor update? Should i unlock it?

Re: About to unlock Sniper, since patch says Sniper rifle more realistic

havent heard anything about changing the sniper at all. More realistic would be it blows limbs off when it hits but that aint gonna happen.

I'll try to find the thread, but it only says more realistic. Maybe Brain fragments on the wall? LOL

Re: About to unlock Sniper, since patch says Sniper rifle more realistic

If the M95 is going to be realistic, it should:
- Not be possible to fire it from the crouch or standing position (at least not without injuring yourself)
- Be able to set to adjust the scope (windage/distance/etc) and you'd need to calculate the bullet drop.
- Take a man out with one hit, no matter what bodypart
- Have a hell of a recoil
- The crosshair should be bouncing around more
- Be alot more accurate on greater distances

I probably forgot something.

I havn't heard a thing about the sniper rifle becoming more realistic. Maybe someone on the rumour mill.

Remember, they couldn't put that kind of realistic graphics because they had to keep the game at a Teen rating for all the little kiddies playing. I say **** EA and put in the limb tearing/blood. Who cares if it has a Mature rating, it would be more fun.

More powerful sniper rifles??? I can hear people going to complain about how the sniper rifles will be too powerful in 1.03. My suggestion is leave m24 the way it is and the other default sniper rifles they way they are (maybe increase scope magnification for them) and then for the m95, make it one hit kill in chest ONLY IF THE TARGET IS UNARMORED. I know it will be a bit unrealistic considering .50 cal goes through just about anything, but still it will balance out the m95 and will make it more appealing to unlock.

In IGn preview today they said snipers rifles still take 2 or 3 shots but head shots are 1 shot 1 kill any way so aime better

Acutally, you're wrong about the M95.

It is very much so possible to fire from the crouch and stand position without recieving any damage, although, your accuracy will far vary from when you're prone.

The M95 acutally doesn't have a hell lot of recoil. The tripod, moving barrel, and the tip of the barrel are specially designed to take away a lot of the recoil it would normally have, this together makes the weapon have about as much recoil as a 12 guage shotgun.

It should be more accurate, it should be able to zoom, and should take an enemy out in one hit. Period. Which, to answer this threads question, no it still doesn't.

I havent noticed a differene in the sniper rifiles since the new patch.

There isnt a lot of recoil on the m95. The rifle counter works the recoil by moving the barrel. I watched a video.

I think that keept the M95 the same but make the bullets armored piercing, that would be a great incentive, kill tank driveres through the steel, but that might be to unfair

Wanna see why it's a fundementally BAD idea to implement realistic .50 cal sniping rifles?

WARNING!!!
This is perty sick. Fortunatly the resolution is fairly low so you can't make out a lot of detail, but if you are sensitive to seeing people being dismembered, DO NOT CLICK IT!

That´s not shooting insurgents in iraq, but shooting goats (probably in AFG). Considering that this seems to be done just for fun I depise the actions seen in that movie.

Couldn't make out the targets clearly... If I could, I wouldn't have posted the link.
Regaurdless, it does show that .50 cal would seriously mess you up. If that level of damage was to be accuratly modeled in BF2 it would break balance very badly.
