Respect for having the skills to snipe in CQC. But I still don't like the new reticle.

Not gonna lie some of those shots are pretty impressive. Guessing your using a keyboard and mouse though?

How many damage mods do u use because i just didnt seem to do enough with the same rifle. Also do you even aim assist bro(its a YouTube video )... because theres plenty of kills u shouldnt of got in there

Nope ps3 controller i cant use a mouse and keyboard for crap lol

Damn dude. Well done. No trash talk here. That is some damn good sniping lol.

Can't even fault your Sniper play here my friend, your really in the thick of it, on the ground with the rest of us.
Is so much more refreshing to see than your average sniper sat in a high eHP suit, in the most inaccessible location possible.

Good Job, though I don't Snipe all that much (so feel free not to count my opinion) I do rather like the new sight.

You know, this is the first vid that ever made me want to try sniping. I didn't realize the sniper rifle could be used in this fashion. Might have to skill into it on my heavy toon, I have a Cal Commando I might want to start trying this on.

Props, you got some nice kills there.

So i saw all the moaning coming from snipers about the new reticle and how hard it is to get headshots, i havnt sniped since beta and all ive got is an adv sniper.

As you can see in my montage there's nothing wrong.

You might need to Manually switch it to HD btw :)

Good vid, but it's not quickscoping.

I have to agree with you Sax. Personally I don't like the new reticle, but it's not as bad as people are making it out to be.

You're shooting militia suits for the vast majority of that video. In debating this is known as *cherrypicking*.

I noticed that too but he is still shooting under pressure while being shot at and with a ps3 controller. You can see his suits eHP and from the look of his radar he looks to be in a scout suit. They probably could have killed him just as easily because of his low eHP so i don't think him killing milita suits with an advanced tac sniper rifle matters too much. The point is not even many full proto snipers could make shots like that on the field while being shot at.

How high is the sensitivity of your crosshairs?

Yes, this is the kind of sniping I really enjoy watching and am working on doing right now. Though I would have been more impressed without the AA handicap.

What suit were you using? Looked like a cal assault? I'm using a cal scout and a bolt pistol.

There is one serious flaw in your montage however, you are using a tactical variant. I absolutely agree that for the tactical the new scope is good, because the tactical is designed for short range engagements or long range pings. You pretty well highlight the issue for longer range sniping however. It takes a long time (In comparison to the old dot and even your current level of sniper play which is good) to line up long range headshots. You also spam ping on medium distance targets as is intended for the tactical variant often missing your first shot. I would challenge you to use a regular or charged variant (Which imo, favors the old Dot sight) and see if the results are the same as with your tactical.

I am of the opinion that the tactical variant should keep the new scope as its less about precision and more about pinging ASAP. The other variants do perform better under the old scope and suffer greatly. Your shots are impressive in how you have spliced it together, but it is a montage so as it is essentially a camera trick, it can't be relied on as objective proof.

One of the biggest complaints have been the innaccuracy of the circle at long distance on moving targets. One thing you do not do in this montage is exactly that. No one claimed hitting a stationary target at long distance was hard with the new scope. Most of the forum QQ I have seen on the subject was about long distance sniping of moving targets. This is of course also ignoring the fact that 90% of your victims were in militia fits while the few that weren't were either standing perfectly still sniping (hopefully not at you as it takes a while for you to hit them) or they were adv gallente mediums which are, with the exception of light variant gallente suits, the most vulnerable to SR fire (low shield high armor.)

As in "long range" you mean sitting in our redline?
