Is the bolt driver worthy of being the only sniper rifle in PS?

[Rbstr]

but the situation of expanding COF is pleanty to simulate recoil, i don't see any weapon that couldn't be made into PS just fine.

Both the upward moving recoil effect and the expanding cof do the same thing make it harder to hit stuff after a shot, but instead up trying to move your crosshairs back down you have to wait for the COF to close up. It's a very good system for a game like this.

It is good enough yes, but you have to admit the full auto weapons such as cycler don't recieve as good of a recoil simulation as other weapons. Spray all 50 rounds

[Baneblade]

It's all moot anyway, HA still owns as unrealistic as it is.

I'd like to see another sniper style rifle if for nothing more than variety. I've always wanted to see a rifle designed for anti-armor or something like that. Something a bit more specialized would be fun. Or maybe a sort of hybrid could be introduced. A combination of BD and gauss/cycler/pulsar.

maybe like in CS a rapid fire sniper, only it doesn't zoom in as far and takes like 5 shots to kill... just an idea o_O

Yeah, something like that.

[Jeffey]

a sniper rifle that shoots deci rockets full auto sounds good

[FatalLight]

Everyone in CS hates the AutoSniper because it only takes 3 shots to kill, so I think 5 would be fine, and maybe an 8 shot clip?

The only time a bot driver is suitable, for me, at least, is when MA wont cut the mustard.

If there are enemies, 2, 3 hundred meters away, MA will tickle them until they decide to leave. Sniper bolt is far more effective at making them run in terror.
