1337 Snipers

[Brontes]

This is my first post by the way.

I love the concept of this game and hope to play it when it comes out, but I am concerned by the amount of people that are voting in the polls to do covert-ops and the amount of people wanting to use the bolt-rifle.

This leads me to my question, how will planetside limit the use of people who think they are 1337 snipers?

Thankfully, the bolt-rifle will require multiple hits to kill, but what else? Will there be limited sniper rifles in a countries weapon pool? Limited certifications? What about scope sway?

Personally, I would like to see scope sway that is based on realistic swaying of the rifle. And yes, I own several rifles so I have a feel as to what I am talking about.

Anyways, snipers would by my biggest concern in planetside, and I was wondering what else was being done to limit them.

I think there already is a scope sway factor and I thought I read about an aim stablizer implant. I was also curious if the magnification implant will work with a scope to give you super magnification.

You own rifles, but are you a precision shooter?


I'm a Marksman myself, and there is -very- little rifle sway when using the right position and equipment (unsupported standing = bad for sniping).. most games often overexadurate the rifle sway for snipers making sniping harder to keep on target then it really is, most trained snipers can keep the cross hairs around the target(or at least circling around the persons body), without too much difficulty for the first 14 seconds, after that the muscles do start to strain and rifle sway is more noticeable, but thats getting into a lot more detail... in general, snipers dont have a great deal of 'sway', at most some circling around the target is the common

... I was beginning to think we'd go a few days before someone started another sniper thread. It embiggens the heart to see this horse dragged back out and flogged in public.

For those of you that read PA replace T3, T4 and T5 with Headshots, Sniper Tracers and l337 Snipers

This for some reason made me laugh

And welcome to the forum Brontes. Glad to have another person posting.

Yes please no more. All you wannabe 1337 snipers will fall before my freefall sniping abilities. I will jump out of my galaxy and fire down your throats. All hail me!

Just look through al the old posts and find anything over 4 pages. It's either about sniping, or the Galaxy being King of the air.

... It's time for another Galaxy thread.

I agree! Galaxy is king of the air! Discuss:
