Please tell me this isn't true about BF1.2

[DrMcleod]

I know the 'official' patch hasn't been released yet, and leaked versions may be a few builds old, but please tell that the sniper rifles are not 1-shot kills.

They were perfectly balanced before, what BF2 does NOT need is a CS AWP.

From what Iam reading, sounds like the L96 has about the same stats as the M24. So I think this will not be a bad thing, will balance out teams and make them the same as US weapons. Sounds like the M95 is a little bit improved but not to much. Will just have to wait and see for sure.

The AWP is an almost-silent, slimmed down version of the M24. Everyone was using it on Sharqi Penninsula.

Well, if they are improved I suppose snipers will have a new role in keeping the newly buffed Stinger sites clear...

Accuracy has always been the same with sniper rifles, standing or prone.

Wrong. Check the wiki: http://wiki.bf2s.com/weapons/comparison .
It is the most accurate weapon table.

Yar! That would be a great role for them now. As much as I hate snipers, I'm glad to see they got the buff they deserved.

Uggg. I just hope it doesnt become sniper wars now. Lots of snipers != fun gameplay.

I just got out of a server where my team lost because 50% were sniping and not capping flags. Quite annoying.

More snipers = More knife kills

Re: Please tell me this isn't true about BF1.2

I officially give the new patch 2 thumbs down after testing it for a few hours. Every server I was on was lagging like crazy, and others were reporting the same. I shot several guys with a full clip only to be blasted once while it showed them reloading and I would die. That happened 75% of the time that I died. Also, some of the guns are waaaaay too powerful at long range, better than using the sniper rifle.

I am finding quite the opposite. I turned down my mouse to the lowest dpi and the speed is still too quick for instant sniper shots. Everything seems to be a faster to me. Maybe it was just the select servers we were on. Also, I didn't check my video settings before I went in but did notice after the patch that shaders had to be redrawn. It could be that my settings were lowered due to patching. I had everything on high before. Will check when I get home.
