Since Snipers are Cloaks then OSOK Headshots is a must sniper cert

[The noob]

One of the designers of the game already tweeted that you'll need 2 headshots to kill someone. I highly doubt that'll change, cert or not.

Rly...Do you have the tweet?



Damn that is a joke.....Sniping is gonna be ruin in Planetside once again.


I atleast hope Clock Snipers could OSOK one another since cloaks died with one sniper shot in Planetside 1.

Not having one hit kill headshots doesn't ruin sniping. And cloaking shouldn't have any bearing on whether there is one hit kills either. And we certainly don't need one hit kill body shots, even for cloakers.

Sniping was a joke in Planetside for more than just 2 shot kills.

You couldn't readjust your aim even the slightest bit without significant cone of fire bloom.

If PS2 improves on that, 2 shot kills should be fine.

1 shot is to drop the shield, one shot is for the kill, so if infiltrators have no shields, they will be OSK-able.

I wonder if HA will be 2 shots or 3.

dont worry to much dreamcast its not like we are all happy with everything. i dislike the fact that AA will be thick during base battles but i can accept that. also apparently everyone will be able to blow up a tank by themslefs quickly.

Well perhaps not against regular soldiers like medics,rexo,etc...but if you can't OSOK other cloak snipers then that is a huge problem IMO.

If cloakers don't die with one shot then it isn't going to be that risky to be a sniper and get counter sniped.....I mean I guess they can't heal themselves like in Planetside 1 but still...OSOK makes it more risky to be a sniper and just gives u a better feelling since you could die with one shot.

Intredasting.

So he is talking about shields...seems to me he is referring to regular soldiers..Not cloaks.

I forgot but didn't cloaks in planetside have no armor?.....I will assume cloaks in Planetside 2 had no shields which will mean OSOK against cloaks...At least I hope this the case.

Yeah Im hoping cloaks could die with One shot...that will make Sniper battles much better since you can die right away.

Instakills suck, instakills on a massive battlefield with hundreds of people is asking for rage.
I'm for 99% damage, but taking down someone who just happens to walk on by with full defences is just daft imo.

[Zekeen]

IT should be based on armor and headshots, not a cert or anyone can. You should be able to take out a cloaker with a body shot from a high powered sniper, but require a headshot for a light armor, and multiple shots for others.

[Karriz]

I'm used to one-shot kill headshots in Battlefield, but apparently sniping in Planetside is entirely different so anything goes (distances are longer obviously).

[Redshift]

why necro this P.O.S thread?

Just because it is not one shot kill does not mean that snipers are "ruin"


People that understand how something works can always make use of it.

you talk about sacrificing accuracy, then you go on about how OSOK should require a lot of skill.. uh.. More spread = more luck = less skill..

bf3 does things in the sniping department fairly well.

lol are you serious?....

If a weapon is harder to use, then more skilled people will use it....Is gonna be harder to line up a shot etc.

Makes sense to me

Yeah it does actually....Planetside 1 sniping was fun, I loved it but it was sadly broken.


Snipers not being able to die with one shot kind of ruined my experience IMO since their was no risk of getting shot being a sniper...Hopefully Snipers in Planetside 2 could die with one shot, that way it will more risky to be a sniper and thus funner.

But adding more spread = reducing accuracy decreases skill. I'ts like you're saying hitting a number on roulette requires a lot of skill, when it's only about luck and nothing else:/
