Dredd Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 in almost 250 games played so far, i have yet to see a sniper make the difference between a win and a loss. this is not true. i just played for 12 hours total. yesterday i was playing with random squad and as attackers, we were losing in that jungle map (forgot the name). we tried attacking from various locations but were failing because we were a random squad maybe. i was playing an engineer, but i switched to recon..took a quad bike...drove it quite a distance and exited and became a statue in nearby bushes. my team used me as a spawn point very near to defenders and we won. i didnt score but we won.

Aftrunner Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Yeah but you werent really being a sniper. It was a good thing for your team mates and squad mates but you might as well have been a Engineer. The ghillie suit doesnt make that big a difference in hiding behind a rock or bushes.

Aftrunner Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 LOL. Eng is becoming my second favorite class. Its a really cool game of hide and seek. Unlike the medic/Assault you cant really take on most other classes head on so you have to pick your moments, stay hidden a lot, shoot vehicles from the flank/back and then go back into hiding. Makes you feel like a hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahul Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Afaik, the Sniper is not a class in itself. The Recon class exists to provide..er reconnaissance to the team. Sniping comes second. People really should stop using the class just to get kills. Especially if you are an attacker. The Defenders have infinite spawn tickets.

spindoctor Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 unlocked every item in the game and reached rank 25 just now. leveling gets crazy slow in the mid 20s... 65,000 point to get from 24 to 25, and now 83,000 points to get from 25 to 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 The amount of time you are logging in it I am sure there wont be a problem. Also I am sure by the time Dice unf**k themselves and fix this game you will get bored of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gta_mad Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) sniper,sniper and more sniper,this guys have no life hiding in jungle and then snipping me every time ,add to this the OP LMG(?),those medics using 4x zoom with Lmg, and then rain of bullets btw i sent a friend req to all of you,please accept(id-RgmR) Edited March 15, 2010 by Gta_Mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I think 4x Zoom scope for almost every Medic LMG is useless. The recoil on those guns makes it almost impossible to use the scope properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoctor Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 i use the RDS on all weapons except sniper rifles. i can even play with ironsights if the tradeoff is worth it. the RDS in this game looks horrible though... like someone painted a red spot in the middle of your screen with watercolors. modern warfare 2 does it much better... heck, modern warfare 2 does all weapons better.

There's some real recoil in Assault rifles in BF2. The LMG's actually act like LMG's in BF2 (where they rape the AR's but in MW2 its all about AR's). The RDS does suck though but its not that bad. Iron sights are some of the best in BF2, since nearly all guns have recoil it feels more realistic. And don't even talk about sound effects Edited March 16, 2010 by Params7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recoil on those guns makes it almost impossible to use the scope properly. 4x is total sh*t.... the amount of recoil u face is incredible...its only useful if u want to spot ppl 4m a distance..

Slap on the 4x with M60 on magnum rounds and its 2-3 shot kills if you tap, little to no recoil and easy kills from halfway across the map, where it would be impossible to tell the enemy from the bush with rds/iron sights.

Somebody Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 finished the SP campaign today morning. The cutscenes do take you completely out of the action. I really wish they just had cutscenes (atleast all those stupid small ones) in first-person. Maybe then I'd be a little more engrossed in whatever was going on. And, in a few places, the game was just plain cheap in getting me killed. Didn't enjoy the SP campaign much but I bought the game for the MP anyway so no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distance is hardly ever tiring coz there's always someone you can spawn on or there's always a vehicle you can take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
