US sniper issues

[Sandro17]

I've got to say something about the US sniper rifle

It's so inconsistent!

Is there some sort of bullet drop rule of some sort? I cant hit with it, Just think. I have my target I have the crossmarkthingy right on my target and when I mean right I mean NOT moving and the + mark thing has an entire body around it...BODY!. I fire. And there is NO hit confirm. (for those of you who dont know thats the yellow thing that pops up when your shooting someone) I've killed alot of people with sniper rifles but now I'm confused someone help!:hmm:

Re: US sniper issues

this isnt a CS AWP.....yes, there is bullet drop in BF2.

just use the special forces gun and zoom in with single shot, i snipe much better like that.

GryDLOCK Read the post + mark with a body around it! you can't Miss unless the game is hacked or there is bullet drop.

Thanks sarb

Now exacly how much does a bullet drop?

Re: US sniper issues

There IS bullet drop, but it shuldnt be too terrible to prevent you from sniping all together.
Of course, if you are trying to snipe half a map away, its more of your stupidity thats preventing you from hitting the target.

Sniper rifles have been known to be inconsistent, but not due to bullet drop, its more of an accuracy issue.

And use the G36C, its a much better sniper rifle.... gun. Any range you can snipe with the G36C you can effectively shoot with a sniper rifle, but G36C have rapid fire with the same accuracy, you can have 3 round bursts thats sure to kill someone while you have to wait for the sniper rifle to reload.

As for longer distances, well sniping with the sniper at that range is more of a luck based thing than skill, bullet drop, accuracy, all get magnified, not to mention the target would be moving.

Dont shoot the body, shoot the head...

Re: US sniper issues

Yes i noticed that thing with sniping too. Its too hard to hit someone especially in distance no matter how accurate you think you are aiming. I think something they are fixing out with the upcoming patch.

Re: US sniper issues

Lag is an isue too when trying to hit ppl far away

Re: US sniper issues

Please not another topic on this.

Can we just put a hold on sniper complaints until after the "patch" comes out - at least see if something is addressed? It has been listed as part of the "fix" so do not get used to the way things are.

It will either get better or worse (more likely)...and then you can flood the hell out of the boards again.

You have a page where that stands?

Re: US sniper issues

The US sniper rifle sometimes does not show a Hit confirm, look for the tell tale puff of dust (if he is close enough). Then whup out your pistol and finish the job!

Practice with the m95. You will ROCK when going back to the m24

Re: US sniper issues

get a good laser mouse like the G-5 and adjust sensitivity on the fly. low dpi when sniping. It's very accurate.

Re: US sniper issues

The US sniper rifler is the best sniper rifler in the game. It takes 2 shots for a kill unless they are already wounded. You need to be in a open area or where there is alot of enemy troops so you can get kill damages. Also by buy putting your clarmores on ladders while on roof tops, can get come easy kills. Placement is the most important and after a few kills, you need to move postions, becasue the guy you killed will be looking for you.

Re: US sniper issues

Chances are you did hit the guy but when you shoot the M24 you do not get a confirmation. If you want to take him out in one shot aim for the head. Otherwise you will only do approx 95% damage and get a kill assist later. Snipers are affected by bullet drop but I never compensate for that unless it's a very long distance (320 meters).
