Global/General Sniper Rifle Discussion

Yeah, no idea what you're talking about. The game looks absolutely amazing. If you're playing it on console though, yeah I know what you mean, it's nothing special. It's no better than BFBC2, but on PC maxed, it's beautiful. And it's not even the full graphics. The Ultra in the game isn't really ultra.

Yeah, my apologies, should have been more specific. I'm assuming it looks good on PC. I wouldn't know.

>.> it might have to do with the type of TV you got... what kind of TV do you have? We got a 1080p HD flatscreen. My dad was playing it on xboxlive... it looks way better then BC2

Bullet sway is there, need to hold breath when sniping, moving scope to hit others will mess with aim.

Bit of a way there to get used to sniping.

Yeah, sniping has certainly gotten much trickier from Bad Company 2 to Battlefield 3. Amazingly enough, this is the first game where I actually dislike sniping. They nerfed it just a little too much for my taste.

I don't mind having the x4 or x7/x8 scope on the SR-25 or the Dragunov, especially with the foregrip because I find myself able to fire a second shot in fairly quick succession should I need it, which I'll admit is 95% of the time.

I wouldn't mind the bolt action rifles if run-and-gunning with them was more stable. I've taken off the optics and ran around shooting people with the Snaiperskaya and gotten a one-hit kill from good range, other times it will hit the target but not kill him, and by the time I cycle the chamber I'm as good as dead. It is so absolutely random. I don't know if it is because of the latency of the beta, or if it just flat out random.

It seems that in most modern day sniper stories the sniper is usually using a some kind of Barrett... So how is it that using those means something bad happens? That doesn't make sense. Anyhow

Anyone getting pumped for the release of B3 in 6 days? What was the farthest you guys got in Beta before it closed?

What do you mean about something bad?

I stopped playing the Beta as soon as I read that stats and so forth will not carry over into the main game. I assumed it would because I thought that was the case for Bad Company 2, unless I'm remembering incorrectly.

I don't think I'm going to get the game. Money is super tight and I can't afford it anyway, but I've quickly lost interest in it. I'll get MW3 to finish the story, and that might very well be my last FPS for awhile. I'm growing very tired of the stagnation of the FPS genre and its community. Not unless an amazing single-player, or awesome co-op shooter comes out, will I buy another FPS in the foreseeable future.

@last post: nevermind...

anywho



So you got to work hard to get the 1-hit kill sniper rifles. The maps you get are really huge and feel more like your actually in a urban environment.

Anyone got it on the release?

Okay, that pilot kill is still awesome no matter how many times I see it.

And one question, is the bullet drop back?

yeah it is... just so you know when taking those long shots.

And seeing how in this game the buildings are bigger and the some maps aren't as wide open as they were in BCB2 that means better sniping spots.

Mmm... MSR is totally new Intervention. Not only in general use, but in whacka-do hitboxes. Gun is sexy, and unlike the Intervention, is totally really decent even with a suppressor on. I am totally going to Gold camo this bitch, however long that will take.

which game are you talking about? got vid?

The other day I got to play BF3... Sniping isn't that hard. With bolt-action it takes one shot to the head or 2 to the chest. With Semi-Auto it takes 3-4 shots.

Modern Warfare 3. I don't personally have a video, but I'm sure there are tons of loser sniper montage videos out there to watch.

Loser? Wow thats mean.... I was planning on getting my own xbox account and making some videos

not good ones just average videos that shows me sucking

Just snipers who purposely clip together a montage video. It's so lame. None of them are that good. Anyone with decent video editing skills can put a bunch of clips together and make themselves amazing like they are the best quick-scoper in the world. Those people are children, and I smile when people troll their Youtube videos. >.>

thats what I was gonna do D=

I get good kills sometimes but I can't stay alive at all. Most times I am lucky if I end even when the game ends. Its easy playing other styles. Like Assault or submachine. However sniping is more fun for me and in my mindset takes more skill.

Since before I couldn't snipe at all.

Do live streaming instead. You'll get a lot more respect out of of the community than being a person who creates montage videos.

But I suck D=

Lately all I can do is have even K:D ratio. I mean I tend to get killed A LOT. Right at the start of the game (I play mostly FFA) I would get 5 kills but then die and when I respawn I get killed over and over again.

Also I mostly just want to save my videos so I can delete them.

Do you have Black Ops and Xboxlive?

Well there is a bright side to that. Play Modern Warfare 3. Only a handful of players do well in that game unless they are part of a team, boost or cheat. The way the game is designed, it is very difficult to keep a streak going due to the style of the maps and the odd spawn mechanics.

And yes, I do have both.

Well can you do me a favor and check out some videos I made on my dads account? I plan to transfer them when I make a new account.

Well I don't really want to spend 60 dollars on MW3 since I'm thinking of making an account. Which I heard costs 60 bucks. I have to put money in my savings or they will deduct money from it.
