Sniper Skill Tree.....Please include Headshots and Prone

[Vancha]

I'm honestly convinced you did nothing but sit on base walkways and behind hills trading shots opposite enemy snipers who were doing so the same.

If you had such a hard time killing enemy snipers, then you were a bad sniper.

Indeed. Bad sniper wants easy kills. Huge news story eh?

What is going to happen in Planetside 2 is this......5 or 7 snipers are going to be on 1 hill or behind some place with a medic their and each time one of them gets hit, they are going to get healed by the medic.


Talk about OP......Sure if you have a team and coordinate shots, yeah is possible to kill them but otherwise no....That is OP.


When Infintry cant kill u because of distance and other snipers cant kill u....that is OP and the only way to kill you is thru vechiles lol.


So yes atleast include headshots for snipers only so we can kill each other if you don't want to do it my way.

Would you just shut the fuck up with this twitch-game lame-ass bullshit? You're the only one wanting this shit. A goddamned 11-page thread devoted to shutting you the fuck up on this subject and you can't take a fucking hint. There's not a goddamned person that agrees with you. You have a number of long-time PS players schooling you and you're dribbling juice down your fucking chin like your sippy cup has a leak in it, talking about "durrrr OP durrrr sniper headshots durrrrr i saw a movie once durrrrr"...

This game was designed for teamwork. This game was designed so that there were no one-hit weapons. Relax, chill the fuck out, go jerk off to Justin Bieber pictures, and

CHANGE THE FUCKING SUBJECT, FUCKSOCK.

I elect we change the subject to Beef Jerky and the lack of inventory systems.

or my awesome drawings, either or.

Edit: Also, as to not appear trolly. I completely agree with Firefly. Thread is getting annoying.

I say we change it to coming up with custom Merits for those drawings.

Just getting in before this turns into a flame war:

Headshots are bad. We have CS. We have TF2. We have CoD.

Let's have a game that requires tactics. Corner-camping insta-kill snipers require no tactics.

[NCLynx]

I too saved the awesome pictures.

And I too would not like to see Planetside turn into a huge Dust2 with AWPs.

The idea that headshots mean CS-style sniping is silly.

In games that happen at long ranges and don't have instant-to-zoom sniper headshots are quite rare except sniper v sniper.

Even then they are often not one-hit-kill.

Maybe I'm playing different games than you - but every game I've ever played that had a sniper class has had corner camping. This is my personal experience, and I'd like to not see that in Planetside in any way.

There's also the issue that the AWP is often one-hit kill on center mass as well as headshots.

That's a whole different ballgame.

[2coolforu]

Well Hamma says we'll find out about headshots tommorow; let the flamewar continue on monday ^_^

[moosepoop]

the more powerful snipers are in ps2 the less ammo they should be able to carry, and the slower their firing rate. and more powerful sniper guns need big long trails that give their position away.

[2coolforu]

So it would be fine if we made the repeater have 1 bullet in its clip and kill instantly from across the map. The argument makes no sense, the snipers worked fine so if it aint broke don't overcomplicate it

[Coyote]

In retrospect I thought of something that was more fearful then headshots from across the map.



Who needs MAXs when you have 1-hit sniper rifles. Also I might have been lazy. We all know they'd be in Rexos.

Actually. They would probably all just have lashers. being VS and all, but if this was NC or TR? Totally legit picture.

Hey if headshots are implimented, would lasher's lash-aoe stuff count as headshots too? That would be fair and balanced I think. Same thing with the NC's jackhammer. And scatter-pistol too.

Would knives also 1-hit kill headshot?

(to be fair I feel as I am downright trolling now. I apologize. Too many items would be Overpowered if headshots were allowed. And if headshots were Sniper Rifles only it would be downright ludicrous to try and make people understand why.)
