      I can't help but laugh at the blatent lack of foresight apparent in those who would suggest a boon to the sniper.

      If the M95 were 1S1K, you would see nothing else used at medium and long range. If sniper rifles in general were made more powerful, this game would quickly degenerate into an unplayable mess. Ever play PRMM .2? It's a grotesque snipefest on nearly evey map.

      A weapon with no scope sway, and virtually no delay to raise the scope cannot be made 1S1k. You think the noob tube is easy to use? Stop, think, and imagine what your advocating - morons.

      Once a target was aquired, all a player would have to do with such a weapon is insta-prone, fire, repeat. Mindless, skilless kills at any range. At least with the grenade launcher you have to predict the arc!

      A weapon such as this should only be fireable from the prone posistion, would should take time to get into. (Right now proning is faster and more useful than crouching.) The scope should take time to bring up and center, and should drift when moved. Reload time should be longer than it is now, for balance's sake.

      ONLY once these other limitations have been placed on a sniper weapon can it be implemented in such a game.

          I hope they fix big bugs that span both games, not just small sf bugs...

            #1 on my fixit list if i was EA would be the performance hit that accompanied that last patch... its making it harder and harder to enjoy the game. I used to play about 2.5 hours a day - since the patch maybe a half once it gets all crazy i get annoyed.

                    Yes the link is gone. This whole patch thing might be a hoax after all. One of the following might have occured:

                    1. Someone hacked the website
                    2. Someone who work at EA was so pi$$ed off because of the performance of the game and how EA treats people, he made that up himself and someone saw it and deleted it.

                    The thing what really really got my interest when i first read that was the part about the video "MINE". That was just so unrealistic. Nobody from EA has ever done anything like that in any update in the past even about DC mod.

                      They might have done it to avoid a Google cache keeping an eternal record of them admitting that the patch is bad. It certinally is strange that not only is it missing, but the page is still there. Just the text is gone. Hopefully we don't find out that someone hacked the page, because it certinally was worded a little oddly (as much as I loved MINE after reading their reference to it, it surprised the hell out of me that they'd create a connection of acceptance towards it since it's one huge copyright infringement).

                        wow, okay it sounds like I just copied Maranello idea for idea but honestly his post wasn't there when I started mine. Great minds think alike? =P

                          If it was a hack, congradulations to the guy who did it, whether an EA employee or not. It's created a huge stir in the community both on this site and in the EA forums. Now they have three choices: 1) completely ignore the fact that it was there and never mention it again, and never respond to the questioning from the community which will be very difficult to do. 2) tell us that it wasn't them, and that there is no post 1.12 which will obviously **** all of us off, and they'd be admiting to the opposite. That they read the forums but just don't give a crap. Or 3, and hopefully the way they go, they ARE working on a post 1.12 patch (find it hard to believe that they wouldn't be sooner or later) but they speed it up in order to try and save face.

                            yup, we talk alike, we think alike. (lol it sounds like that "we ride together we die together, bad boys" rofl).

                            That thing was removed almost 3-4 hours ago. If it was some misspelling or some wrong information, they would have updated it in less than 15 minutes. Consider this, if there was something wrong with the context of the text, they would have written a correct version of it before deleting it, so it would be up in a minute or two. But it has been 3-4 hours as i said, really weird.

                            And what do you mean by copyright infringement? You mean they used a cracked version of fraps or something? It didn't make sense to me.

                            AND, the thing is, video makes fun of their game. It makes fun of the bunny hopping, it makes fun of people who play the game. Especially the majority of people, classical noob, who would kill teammates for vehicles, or would do anything to get points. The main idea of the video was to critizise ranked servers and point system. It just doesn't make sense why would EA mention it.
