I don’t know why FPShooters could never get the sniping down correctly. The only game I think that fully showcases what a sniper rifle should be like is Socom: Confrontation. As lackluster as that game was, sniping took talent. Chest shot and up on medium armor was always a one shit kill, that is if you could get the shot straight. Almost always had to be prone to make your shot count.
Sniper rifles should behave in the following:
-pinpoint accuracy when PRONE
-almost no accuracy when in any sort of movement, or stopping from heavy movement
-always one shit kill when in the torso to head area
I actually havent tried sniping in BO yet (1911 yo!) but I doubt it will be any different thant the previous CoDs (or any mp FPS for that matter).
ironically its been the opposite for me…when I snipe…I’ve only had ONE instance where someone has survived the first shot…and I’m not even lining my stuff up like I should…I’ve been getting one shot kills in the ARM and the stomach. I think that the models are lagging behind their actual locations, so like playing SF4 w/ lag you have to lead the shot a bit more in theory
The problem with snipers is balance, they are EASY to OP and EASY to UP…it’s almost like Guile…changing a decimal place here makes him one of the WORSE in the game…changing another one makes him one of the BEST in the game. The direction FPS are going again thank god is ‘faster’ and less technical…so what seperates an AR from a SR in those newer FPS? What seperates an AR from an SMG? The only reason sniping worked well in MW2 was because of map design being fairly open in certain areas, and the speed at which you could get a shot off. I’ll be honest, with the way the maps were laid out in MW2…the way sniping is NOW would be spot on. However with the way maps are for this one, sniping actually should be like how it was configured for MW2…this game actually NEEDS some form of QSing…the corridors are to few, th spots too slim, and the spawns to random…for traditional sniping…I’m sorry just is.
Game has MAD connection problems, lag, hit detection, respawning next to your enemy, 'nades doing NO damage/splash damage you can walk by…
The pace of the game didn’t seem to different than MW2; other than you get killed quicker and respawn then die…and die again with the same guy shooting you. As for the connection problems, yea, 2.5 million people on at one time your servers are going NUTS (honestly, how would you stress test that shit???)
With everyone worried about getting their little toy car, it seems as if UAV has become the must have ks. The sniping in this game is hit or miss based on your connection. With 4 bars or more, I was getting the 1 hit kill to the head with the WAaaaaaaaaa, but with 3 bars, i get the Koop post syndrome of the guy surviving 3 shots and running away like nothing. I believe that when we all begin to play with each other, no longer will this game be about rushing down, but more about camping and letting the enemies approach you one by one. I know the first map I played with Slogan,. our entire team, including the green arrows stayed in 1 spot and people came.
2 perks which are useless: Ninja and Flak Jacket
If you do not see a nade a strafe slightly left, you deserved to die, given that the blast radius is ass. Unless they fix the footsteps, running ninja feels pointless.
I was running ghost last night, and with all the spy planes up. that thing is good like.
OH AND A BIG WTF!!! NO EXTENDED MAG OPTIONS ON A PISTOL?
Unreal - what video of royce is that from in your av?
Also am I the only one whos thoroughly enjoying this game? One in the chamber is really fun and a fast way to earn money because people suck at it. Lot of camping though.
The maps are pretty good and the action is really fast paced most of the time (sans Array, kinda feels like derail but smaller.) Spawns are fucked obviously, noticed that in my first game without the prior knowledge of it. Hilarious spawning right next to the dude who just killed you.
Pistols are really good in this game it seems. I like it a lot for sure and will continue to play it until something broken is found out. Also did the unlimited CP glitch get patched? I tried fuckin with it and it wasnt working.
The lobbies/parties need to be fixed because it feels like it takes forever to find a game sometimes. And some of the challenges for pro perks are retarded (CTF required for marathon pro? come on)
Also feel its really hard to make a decent emblem but whatever. There is a LOT of customization which is cool. The Rolling Thunder KS is what the stealth bomber should have been in MW2. I have yet to get under 4 kills with it every time I’ve used it. Valkyrie Rockets are hard to control I feel and RC Cars are annoying as shit. I feel theres a lot of callsign popups as well. Everytime someone calls in a spyplane there call sign comes up? Thats a little silly. I think Mw2 got it right with only on big killstreaks (8 and up) or if someone destroyed something/planted/captured objective etc.
All in all, I think BO is a combination between WaW mechanics with Mw1 gameplay with a touch of the arena style MW2 had at somepoints. My goofy way of seeing it is like 65% WaW, 30% Mw1 and 5% mw2. I have 0 problem with this. I dont see this game being as big as Mw2 though because it is not noob friendly at all. My first game in a TDM I went like 30-3 with no prior knowledge or anything, just fundamentals.
Either way, I’m loving this game but it feels like it takes a little longer to level up? Or am I crazy
When you throw one, the other team sees a red dot on their radar and hears gunshots coming from the area where it detonates. Just throw it away from where you are standing, and shoot the baddie in the back as they run into kill the phantom dot.
EDIT: I am also liking the game quite a bit. Better than MW2, at least. I hate Crisis as a map though.
1 sniper gun does not make the game. The sniping in this game is not as bad if you stick to the call of duty method of sniping 2 people and moving to another spot. So far i am enjoying it even though some maps are not made for it.
I think the only one that does is the 1911, because I run it on a few classes, that or Akimbo for dat style points. EDIT: CZ75 (Think that is the name) might have it, haven’t got that pistol yet though, been mainly using the Python lately since I am a sucker for Revolvers.
My verdict so far: I like it better than MW2 and WaW, but nowhere near as much as MW (Perfect game to me).
Only things I have trouble with is ass radar (Those dots don’t line up right, I had to learn radar for MW2 and now I am trying to unlearn it.), Shit spawns (I swear when I kill one or two people a third person just spawns behind me guns blazing, I think once out of my five hour playtime have I been able to do the same), and shitty sounds on guns. (The grenade sounds like I dropped a box of pop rocks on cement, WTF).
I’ll play it though, I literally have no other FPS and I want that crossbow. Based on people in here, I’m going to fuck around with Decoy 'Nade/Claymore shenanigans.
understood an last night runnin with yall that exactly what I did… i made most of my time learning memory shots an “nesting” areas… BUT
I still feel I need my gun… Im use to my barret… but this is ol school era guns so I believe the one I am using now is a rendered version of the AK 47 (no seriously look it up i know my guns) so its a low budget version of a sniper rifle… im with Jae… I feel I just need my gun… till then I have my moments an strats down i believe (havent done every map yet)
I get an ammo crate like 30 pct of the time I get a care package. Also the WaW trick works in the lobby. Whomever is the party leader just tell everyone to turn off their mic before you try to join a game. For whatever reason you have a better chance of actually getting everyone into the lobby if everyone turns off their mic. You can obviously turn them back on when you get into the game.
Ghost\SOH\Hacker famas with decoy assists is to gdlk…people are so attatched to radar man its unbelievable how many times I’ve seen some one run into a room or area I through my decoy just to watch them dolphin dive into the room and see nothing:rofl:. I was up till like 3am last night playing and I’m sitting in class right now angry cuz I got no sleep
Out of the twenty times I’ve gotten a drop all but 8 were ammo crates, two being Valk rockets and Carpet Bomb, the others either UAV or counter. I blame my notoriously bad luck with crates, it carried over from MW2.
Also since 'Nades suck I suggest you all get familiar with the TOMAHAWK! It’s cool, fast, and kills in one hit no matter where you get them. I got one dude in the foot and his corpse started break dancing upon death.
i get the Koop post syndrome of the guy surviving 3 shots and running away like nothing. I believe that when we all begin to play with each other, no longer will this game be about rushing down, but more about camping and letting the enemies approach you one by one. I know the first map I played with Slogan,. our entire team, including the green arrows stayed in 1 spot and people came.
