Snipers... too unreal in this game?

If u have played as a sniper and have the upgraded gun (or have been shot by one) u know its a .50 cal... my point being is if u can get a 1-shot kill (head shot) is any gun including a weak ass pistol... why is it a .50 takes 2 body shots? lets look at this in real life a 50 cal is going to blast the fricken sh*t out of anything it hits. Owning a .50 sniper rifle and using one in the army i know a well placed shot in the chest will take ANYONE out of action. For people that do not know how deadly this gun is... it puts a solftball sized hole in u... the impact will destroy organs and break bones... if it hits a limb, its gone u have a stub... doe sanyone else thing the sniper rilfe in BF2 is underpowered??? or is this something everyone looks over because they play as other classes? or is it something wrong with me?

Re: Snipers... too unreal in this game?

Nope, nothing wrong with you. Weapons are not accurate in BF2. Even close range on some of these weapons are awful.

If I could, I'd put a picture on here showing what a 50 cal snipe rifle does to a guys head with one shot.

I enjoy this game due to the fact of flying the Cobra and playing online against AI with a buddy of mine. Other than that, you know the rest of the story. $50.00 ?????

Re: Snipers... too unreal in this game?

this has been discussed in other threads.

YES, the M95 is FAR too underpowered, being that the m24 is also a 2 shot kill gun and it uses a .308 winchester...

Will EA fix this? doubt it, i would place my bet on the fact that they dont want to swing the gameplay with such a powerful rifle... even though they give us the auto L85A1 which puts rounds out as far as my m95 for some reason...

Re: Snipers... too unreal in this game?

Its all about balance.....

Listen people I also hate how unrealistic the weapons are in BF2....However they have to have some balance or the game would be extremely boring. The .50 sniper rifle is actually used in sniper combat but until recently you didnt see that particular weapon engaging actual human targets. The .50 BMG was used for disarming bombs at long range for quite some time. If the makers of BF2 allowed the game to have a supper accurate rifle that killed in one shot....you would have servers full of guys packin this new super weapon killing people in one shot from a mile away. Game would get boring realy quick. Next lets take a look at air combat....the United States Military is the most trained and experienced military in the world when it comes to air Combat. Do you realy think that a squadron of USMC F-18's would have any trouble taking down some Mig-29 being piloted by some Rag Head that gets to fly his plane maby 2 or 3 times a month due to costs of flying and lack of maintnance??? No he is so in experienced that the Marine pilots would own him. So there is balance in the game...They try not to make one plane better than the other or one gun better than the other. Abrams Tank....the most elite tank in the world with Night vision and FLIR ...the god damn thing can see targets over a mile away and engage them through dark of night or smoke....no contest...but once again we must have balance.

Re: Snipers... too unreal in this game?

All the above is true, but it was a discussion on inaccurate weapons. I'm very new to BF2 so it's my turn to vent along with other people who are "New" to this game. You will always get this question/complaint from the new people until they realize it's just got to be dealt with or don't play.

I don't care if EA changes this problem because I know they won't. I think what's happening is that, in my case, I come from Blackhawk Down, more accurate weapons and shorter load time, to BF2 and it's sort of like culture shock.

So, you old timers, let people vent and complain because we're next on having to put up with the future complainers.

Re: Snipers... too unreal in this game?

I'd like the Sniper Rifle to be beefed up. I have no military experience but i can imagine catching a bullet like that in the chest...my imagination says I'd lie down and not get up for a while...possibly never.
I agree that there needs to be a balance but the fact that it takes so long to get shots off effectively and coming across your average AK47-toting kangaroo is often a foregone conclusion

Re: Snipers... too unreal in this game?

I couldnt agree with you more...you lay out at 600m and take your time lining up the perfect shot and you cant tell if you hit the guy or not. I wish the sniper rifles could be more accurate too. Did anyone ever play Joint Opps...now thats a game where they got the sniper rifles right. You could zoom in with the scope and you also had to use your binocs to get the range to target and then you had to dial in your scope. That was a sick setup for snipers in a game....I would love to see that in BF2.

Re: Snipers... too unreal in this game?

No, never played that game but I like the sound of the Sniper setup.
I'd also like the sniper kit that included upgraded Claymores...If only they had a big sign on them saying 'Hey..there is a sniper here protecting his back...please don't climb up the ladder...you will die...and undoubtably punish the sniper...next time I hope he leaves you to be shot in the head from a distance'

But I bet they won't code this upgrade ;)

Re: Snipers... too unreal in this game?

i wish they would lower the sensitivity of the claymores, i made a wide berth of 3-4 meters around one friendly pack but they still went off...

LOL...I was wondering about that. I thought something was strange when mine went off.
