I was using some sniper rifles, and notice that there is no bullet drop. When you fire, the projectile stays on a straight line until infinity. When you fire the sniper rifles in this game they should be able to pick someone off at 300-400m simply by putting a dot on someone.
I suppose the same could be said about Forge Guns. |

Its funny how I typo-d my message but everyone got the point.
A buddy of mine uses Forge Guns and he can take out drop ships from a kilometer away simply by pointing and shooting. he gets around 10 a game(all of them the enemy calls in)
Sitting on the redline and picking people off with no skill involved is to cheap of a way to get WP. Granted those people usually don't post high numbers (unless they are standing on TOP of the MCC and get 40-50 kills) and they don't contribute to the win. But they need to do something that puts skill into it. It would be nice to see an FPS with snipers that people could actually brag about being good in. It would make any sniper in the game an elite world class player. |

It doesn't, because I do it, and anyone else can. All you have to do is put the dot infront of where the target is moving. As soon as the enemy crosses over BAM, free kill from 400m out

Running in a straight line, out in the open, not using cover, spraying AR rounds all over the place like Rambo takes no skill. Killing someone 60- meters away with three bullets using a weapon that sprays several of them out per second and has a 40+ round magazine, takes significantly less skill than the so-called "free" kills you say snipers get.
Nope.
I use both, and sniping is by far easier. I know how to avoid snipers like any other decent FPS player. But when that sniper is sitting on the redline over 400m away it takes no skill to tell which way a guy is running.
If a guy is running left, you aim left. What skill is that?? If sniping is hard for you, or you think it takes skill right now in its current form I gather you are either 10 years old, or blind in one eye. |
