That is absolutely amazing!
Was that in the academy? Early in the game before so many heavies were running proto? In pubs or PC? Which version of the game? What rifle were you using?
48/1 is sick badass. I can barely break 10/0 nowadays in pubs. Sometimes it takes a whole clip from a Kaalakiota to drop some heavies. Even then it sometimes takes 4 or 5 shots. Headshots on moving targets are possible but not very common (in my experience).

I'm sick and tired of people hiding (and disappearing) inside NULL cannons so they can regenerate armour and shields. All they have to do is run in a circle inside it and they are pretty much safe. Or start a hack. Throw a nanohive in there and they are in a fortress with a big supply of repair resources. Throw a repair logi in with them and you have a pretty potent combination that sucks up damage like a sponge.
People do this with supply depots and CRUs also. The only difference is that they don't need to run around.
These things shouldn't be like bases in a baseball game.
I think if you want protection you should park your LAV in front of the expected sniper or use a meat shield. The NULL cannons are pretty well covered by armor plates, anyhow.
I'm sure there is a balance somewhere but sniping is no trip to Vegas with a hooker and a crate of beer.

Artificer Ghost wrote:(Just pointing my finger towards the 'headshots' argument)
To anyone that's said 'Use Headshots': What type of Homing Ammunition are you using, if you can get headshots while people are bunny hopping, strafing, and generally being a bit jumpy? I'd love to see what type of Black Market you got those off of, because I can NEVER go 35/0 with all headshots against prototypes in a PC match while everyone's moving around.
I'd love to see you go 35/0 with all headshots on C-Logis. While they're NOT standing still.
I heard every word, brother.
The headshot thing only works regularly with n00bs, other snipers and with AFKers.
If people in the furball with ARs can't get all headshots, why do they think we can?
