stfu or post something useful

Good one Don, now go somewhere else.

Anybody out there with an actual valid point?

you mean like you?

let's face it, the only reason you're here, whining about hip fire mechanics on sniper rifles, is because someone killed you while hip firing a sniper rifle, not because you have any VALID POINTS.

Here's a valid point, literally every other weapon has highly reduced hip fire accuracy.

Like you, you mean...

Yet another stupid troll thread about how "I WANT...." or "I THINK"......

gave up posting anything useful on these forums a long time ago as everyone is so self absorbed and obsessed with their own e-peen.

Use your brain, A sniper rifle is inherently precise in it's aim, you think it should get worse just because you aren't looking down the scope, this makes no sense what-so-ever. Does the barrel change shape when you hip fire? NO!

also, shotguns fire cartridges full of shot, sniper rifles fire a single slug. Your stupid analogy is stupid.

@ Mavado : read the OP. I said no-scope not quick scope.

@Kamiya : Use your brain, why is the AR less accurate when firing form the hip? Does the barrel change shape?

EDIT: A shot gun can fire a solid slug or a spread of shot. I was not refering specifically to a Dust shotgun.

Does it? Or does the player's accuracy change when hip firing, clarification on this would be necessary before this debate can go any further.

Yes it does, stand still and aim with an smg then try the same while ads, only exceptions are the laser rifle, sniper rifle (I usually snipe so I know this), and possibly the scrambler

it actually takes skill to quick scope an **** in dust
so i say no to this thread
**** if my sniper can run around and help support at medium-close range cuz hes good enough to pull off quick scopes and no scopes then i support that

much more useful than a ******* mountain sniper miles away on a hill which is like 99% of the blue dot snipers

wow Sextus, looks like the Gayar Snipicus are out in droves this morning! How dare you attack their very livelyhood!

I wish they would just remove that imbalanced POS and start over, but they won't.

I agree with sextus, from a pure FPS standpoint, it is actually rather difficult to no-scope in most other games. furthermore, it's not like he's asking CCP to make it so it won't fire unless scoped, just less accurate. The sniper rifle is by definition a long-range weapon, if you can run and gun with it in the middle of the battlefield, wheres the drawback? what is the disadvantage to having all that killing power at range?

that said, my biggest qualm with the current sniper rifle is it's 100% accuracy when crouched. as well as 100% accuracy recovery after each shot. not even my burst rifle has that.

add in some pesistant scope sway (less as you skill more into sniping, but still always there) and less than 100% accuracy recovery, then I have no further complaints. I would support perhaps a module that could reduce, even eliminate sway, but it would take up a valuable slot on your suit, IE one less dmg mod.

try no scoping and consistently killing someone before they kill u and then comment on whether its that easy or not

should be promoting snipers that actually ******* move than hill snipers at least u hav a chance to kill those snipers that fail at no scoping rather than a hill sniper just sitting there on a nanohive pointing and clicking

PS: agree with 100% accuracy recovery after each shot is bs

Then why is the tac rifle not on the exception list? I have to test the scrambler to be sure and the laser has no recoil period

Not on YOUR list. I've not noticed even a slight drop in accuracy when hipfiring the tac rifle in single shots. The recoil after the shot makes your second shot off, but the first has always been just as accurate.

I've never been hit with a sr when someone no scopes. Maybe you should use some common sense and gtfo of the way.

Try hipfiring at a wall after shooting a wall then compare your spread

how could you possibly know that. How could you possibly know that he was or was not looking down his scope?

I can tell you that with practice I'm getting better at hammering 3 rounds into somebody with my Tactical SR at short ranges. I think its lame as F#$k and at the very least it should suffer from recoil after the first shot.
