What new unlocks for the sniperclass? All I see are 2 rifles and I have the special forces pack.

Do you think you'd gallop away after taking a G3 slug point blank to the chest.

He means the bullet would be in-and-out before your body mass could physicaly be effected.

In a episode of the mythbusters, they proved that if you were shot with any type of gun upclose, it probably wouldn't even knock you over.

...But you would drop in a pool of blood, of course.

Thats true from what I have read.
Maybe frangible rounds would be different since they are designed to impact without over penetration. Or perhaps if a round is stopped by your body armour the kinetic energy would be enough to knock you down?

Of course, that does not concern BF2. :)

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

using that logic then every single bullet shot, from the pistols to the machine guns should knock someone down with one shot. For this kind of game, thats probably not going to happen.

Maybe if the bullets had true physics applied to them, it would be acceptable.

In any case, I think the sniper rifles now are just right. Getting headshots on moving targets is gratifying. :)

Thats the point I was trying to make, itd be stupid if one gun killed you in one hit becuase technically any gun IRL can d that. But its not fun. However i think sniper rifles now are pretty much ez mode. I could go in a round find a nice little niche spot and pick off snipers one by one in a game (snipers are meant to hit targets of opportunity not be long range AK-47s in the hitting moving targets sense). Before you dodged snipers by moving around and taking cover (as it should be) and snipers killed targets by following them until they stopped to shoot someone (as it should be). Now its just noobs from CS showing their AWP "skills" like it takes any.

As of now sniping is to easy, its not supposed to be, its supposed to be hard and something that require a patient person to use correctly.

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

sniper is perfect right now, when ever i am moving and i get sniped, i drop down to 2 bars of health, so if they made it anymore powerful it would be an AWP and u would see the whole server being snipers.

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

Thing is tho it used to take a lot of skill to hit moving targets. Now that its a lot easier id hate to ever try moving over long distances like in Oman or other maps. Its going to be sniper heaven.

Oh, Maashtur is going to be a killzone to now that the helis are a PoS

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

All the servers that I have played on recently have set mines/claymores to FF on, putting that little gem back to 1.12.

Non. A bullet does not have enough weight to displace a human at all- Think about it. Buckshot from a shotgun might push you a little bit, but that's only because it's spread out-- It still wouldn't blow you away or get that spinning-and-hitting-the-wall effect that you see in 80s action movies.

Also, the realization of getting shot is such a shock to the nervous system that you're most likely to just drop limp. Unless you're a) Pain tolerant and crazy b) coked out of your mind like tony montana or c) didn't realize you were shot. Last one might sound silly, but under extreme circumstances it's very possible to not realize it. Most people wouldn't feel the pain or shock until they saw the wound with their own eyes, after which some would faint.

As far as a G3 goes you definitely wouldn't blow back at all, it would be an instant exit wound.

EDIT: Forgot about the topic of the original thread. I hate to **** in people's corn flakes but I can't help but call the thread-starter an idiot. Not only would a 1-shot kill unbalance and ruin the game to a high degree as far as just general gameplay goes, but if the M95 isn't a 1-shot kill, anyone who expects or expected the L96 to be is just a ****ing muff muncher. Either too much CS or the kid just has no idea what he's talking about. The rifles are fine how they are.

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

Yep Mines are EVERYWHERE and the snipers arent too weak...If you cant score 2 shots on a guy you must have really bad sniping skills and should switch class. The L96 is the best sniper. But sometimes its screwed up and I shoot them in the head but it doesnt hit :p. Mabye I just suck. LoL

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

I can take out some snipers with a PKM. All you need to do is take single shots while in iron sights.

[Robske007a]

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

ur not so good at sniping... the L95A1 has big accuarcy and quite some firepower, so getting that headshot isn't that hard

Just read the linked thread below and never speak of this concept ever again:

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

learn to aim man, a one shot to kill sniper would be way to easy , just aim for the head, watch next screen, this is with M95 that is even less acurate then the new sniper, 3 headshots in a row.
after that, I killed another 15 guys or something and was out of ammo .

Re: Sniper to WEAK ????!!!!

Too right 3Libras.

Way too many threads started about people wanting snipers to be 1 shot kill (usually people who are new to the forum/game). No one thinks about how it affects the gameplay.
