Sniping Videos

Kechiro · 2011-08-06, 11:56 AM

Anyone have any recent sniper videos from PS? Mainly ones done within the last few months? Reason I'm asking is because I really enjoy watching these guys lead targets and such sniper battles are fun when you're not being bombarded by Libs.

I've also thought heavily about FRAPSing some games and eventually putting together some of my best (or luckiest) kills (and really unlucky deaths/dumb mistakes) as I had quite a few last night after the announcement of the Enemy Tech being shared for 72hrs. Any suggestions to some good ones?

These ones aren't recent, but they're made by top notch snipers.

AmbientOSX - Sniper Monkey

CommanderDeath - Vicious (Have to skip to certain parts)

BloodHawk (have to skip to certain parts)

KornDemon also had some great sniping clips in his movies as well.

I also have 60 Planetside videos on my YouTube channel right now you can check em out: http://www.youtube.com/user/Obsol33t...o?feature=mhee

Epic awesomeness. Thank you Gunuko.

The reason I don't like most of the sniper videos from the old days is because back then you could shoot, switch to another rifle and then shoot again without waiting for a reload. They changed that a few years ago and you don't see a lot of good sniper videos after that which is rather disappointing since I think it takes more skill now.

You can still do that.

Odd.. I thought they patched it ages ago. Funny. You NEVER see it being done now.

Sniper love. After playing PS for a good many years the bolt driver is the one weapon I really never get bored with.

The only time it gets boring is when there are open field battles and EVERYONE has armor or aircrafts. There are no good places to setup and no targets. At that point you either have to grab a gunner position or grab a vehicle and join the zerg because you're just easy BEP as a sniper running around with your thumb up your ass.

I hope they have better hitboxes in PS2, as nothing is more annoying than a sniper on a ridge being able to hit you, but it's impossible to snipe back due to the ridgeline issues. Many times you can't even see the enemy sniper's eyes much less their gun behind the ridge.

The hit boxes will most likely be more accurate/distinguished since damage varies depending on where you are shot; or so people say. I know headshots offer a lot more damage than any other part of the body. So I'm sure we'll see an improvement. Else SOE will have some very angry people who just got shot in and chest and took headshot damage on their hands.
