Bolt drivers :(

[6thEdition]

Im fed up of shooting a target once, waitin years for it to reload givin the nme a chance to hide. Wats the deel with having to shoot twice? also, they should make headshots more effective. Also heart shots. Just like the greatest game ever, Halo: Combat Evolved :lol: Also - how about being able to cloak whilst snipin. ud be almost invinsible :) but thats stupid i wouldnt reccomend it.

1 shot would just be suck, in counterstrike there is a siper that does that and it pisses everyone off and you are called a noob if you use it. Also there is not headshot in game atm, they say, i believe, it would take too much work for the server so they can't.

[6thEdition]

oh well

[Boomer]

this is considered whining BTW.

Sniper rifle is fine.. use two of them if you want to have quicker kills.

1. Halo sucks
2. This is considered whining, and you know what i think abou whiners

It's called balance :p

[Hezzy]

Try to pick targets that are out in the open, or targets that have no way to heal themselves. You can also use the Enhanced Targetting implant to pick injured people off in one shot.

Also, another tactic is to form a sniper team. That way you can call a target, then both shoot it. Instant kill. Just take turns getting the kills.

shooting twice is fine if i can get 80+ kills in a cave fight then its ok ;)

[JetRaiden]

yea Ive had moments where the enemy has gotten away while reloading, but they usually come back out eventually. and if theyre fully healed, just wait until theyre a little more out in the open.

So do you but we're not saying anything

What's with the hate? the guy stated his opinion and get's falmed, damn guys.



The devs stated before the game the Region Specific hit detection wouldn't be in the game, but then they put it on BFRs.

They don't want to have a one shot kill weapon like a sniper rifle, but the Jackhammer in secondary is a 1 shot kill

Cloaking while sniping would be like you said almost invincible, wich is why they won't add it.

Headshots do exist in Halo, but heartshots? Pretty sure they don't.

[Untouchable]

If the bolt driver was made into a 1 shot kill weapon, what exactly happens to the footsoldier? Running out into the open would be suicide, because someone could pick you off without even a warning as to their presence. As it was stated, if you want to be a more efficient sniper, use 2 bolt drivers and rexo. When I used to have the sniping cert, shooting one rifle then switching to the other and shooting again usually was fast enough that my target didn't have time to respond to the first shot.

As to the Jackhammer comment, it is a one *click* kill, if you haven't noticed it uses three rounds; and that is ONLY at point blank range and ONLY if everyshot is a direct hit, I've heard this complaint way too many times :\ .

BTW this is Planetside, not Halo if you haven't noticed :) .

BD is fine, if anything is wrong with it, it is the lack of variety in rifles.

Not a complaint just a fact, yes it is three rounds, in about 1.something seconds. So as long as the peron has a Jackhammer, is indoors, knows has to use thrid person, they can "1 shit kill"

BTW this is Planetside, not Halo if you haven't noticed :) .
Damn strait :nod:

They do, but enough about halo now.

I admit it, 1 hit kill sniping was a bad idea. How about a sniper that doesn't reload every 1 shot, but is less effective? On the first 2-3 shots someone would know what's happening and get to safety, OR the sniper would be too fast and in 5 shots kill the guy :-)

[Lartnev]

Don't mess with it, it's fine. Just takes practice and patience, two things that sniping in other games sadly forego.

[Hamorad]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the bolt driver. 2 shots is easy for good snipers (i am NOT one of them :D). Halo is a VERY different game, and Planetside doesn't need headshots.

[Corsairsn]

halo rocks. but yes, planetside doesnt need headshots and 1 shot kills

[SniperDude]

The way I see it, if you can take a big fucking rocket to the chest and not die (decimator, yes I know the paper, rock, scissors concept) then two shots is cool. Like said earlier, pick targets that are almost dead already, in an open field or work in teams to kill more. Also, with a good vantage point, bridge battles are your best friend. Me and another dude in my outfit held off a squad and a half hoofin it accross a bridge for about 20 mins, then they got wise and pulled a couple auroras (sp?). Chances of this happening are rare, but I think you get my point.

*EDIT* The only thing that get's me is that the BD is 30mm. That's just too damn big to be shot out of a rifle.
