Snipers, one shot one kill, or No?

Do remember the cone of fire. Even though a sniper will be crouched and still and the cone of fire is small, There will be some slight movement of the bullets. I bet it will be slightly more difficult to get a head shot than in most games.
As for the bolt driver: make it 3 head shots to kill, or nerf it.

3 headshots to kill? thats supernerfed.

id like to see 50-80% torso, 15% limb, and 100% headshot damage. that would be an nice setup

3 headshots to a kill with the bolt driver is insane...

I prefer 100% dmg headshots myself, but the best concession I have seen so far is:

80-90% = head
50-80% = chest
15% = arm

for lightly armored people give or take.

I know getting sniped sucks. I'm sure i'll be swearing a few times because of enemy snipers when i play but the purpose of sniping is 1 shot kills.

Watch any WW1 and/or WW2 movies. The sniper doesn't try to aim for a 6 hit kill. It's do or die.


Now i'm willing to accept a 2 headshot kill but NO way should 3 headshots be required for a kill, that's absurd.

I agree with something along the lines of for light armor
80-90% head
50-70% Body
15-25% Limbs

And obviously the more armor less % damage.

maybe 3 head shot kills if hes in a fookin MAX suit.....

[Qanamil_Rafiki]

agreed Tobias.

I just said three shots because I hate snipers. I would be fine with two shots. But 1? You might as well run around without a helmet if it is one shot to kill. It wouldn't make a difference if you had a helmet or not.

I think against light/cloak armor it should be one shot, but it should be far from an easy shot, something like through the visor/visor area. Mediums should be a min of 2 MAXs I think should be 3-4

[Hamma]

I am going to take my final stance on this.. hehe

It should be somthing that doesent make it too over powered. I think one shot head kills on all armors is a strech for example.. But it should also be balanced enough so that it isnt useless.

[�io]

3-4 headshots for a max is too powerful i think though.

A MAX is armored to the max(hence the name ) so i would say at least 5 headshots, and if the engine really does track bullets then 2 but only if through the visor.

[Tolvy]

The MAX's are kinda like small tanks. If you think that a few bolts from the bolt driver are gunna take out a small tank, think again.

[Noxx]

I think they will, in the head.

[Tolvy]

Ack, you guys dont get it do you? How is a bolt going to go through about a foot of armor to hit a players head. I agree that if the bullet penetrates to the head it will be one hit kills, but to get to someones head, your gunna have to shoot through some pretty tough armor.

[�io]

Ok you guys do realise that
1-This is a game,realism comes later. First comes fun. If a max is invulnerable to everything but anti-vehicle weapons what do you think will happen? Yep 95% of people willl always be in a MAX

2-Obviously the bolt driver can pierce armor to a certain extent. How else can you shoot someone through their helmet??
