make sn1por easor

[Deadmanwalking]

I really want to see a game where real skill is needed for sniping.
And i mean ultra-realistic, wind speed/direction, breathing, differing scope distance and bullet drop. As i did try sniping for a while and it was really quite bloody easy. Most make mistake of waiting for the all important crosshair to be completely closed. Dont you can easily make that all important second shot without crosshairs completely closed.

300 meters.. usually about 270 to the first tower and you are sorted, hard to spot you and takes ages to get to you, unless its a reaver weenie. Setup a motion alarm or 2 and you are very safe.

Then everyone will become a sniper for headshot kills. It isnt CS its PS. Everyone gets pissed off when you get one shotted with a head shot. Sniping is fine atm takes about 75% health down. Now if you hit a person with less than 75% health then you would get your one shot kill. Thats 75% with reinf armour too.

One shot kills would be bad (look at the trouble they caused in Daoc) and just lead to nerfs. I think the fact that it requires two shots to kill someone in non-Max armour is about right. It means that effective sniping requires tactics and skill from the sniper or stupidity from the target.

To be an effective sniper you have to play smart. Most of the times when I get scooped up while sniping is when I don't play smart (such as being too lazy to move after a kill, picking a dumb spot, or shooting someone from within their field of vision).
