The bolt driver doing more damage in a single hit than the TR sniper doesn't automatically make it "way OP". What matters is how much more damage it can do and how many shots it takes each sniper to kill a target. From here on I'm assuming both rifles have been upgraded to do as much damage as possible... It sounds like a bolt driver and a TR sniper will be pretty closely matched. Remember we're talking about guns that'll probably take 2-3 shots to kill (headshots aside)...A 10% damage difference wouldn't amount to very much and even less when it comes with a 10% RoF difference as well. Now if it turned out that the Bolt Driver could take away 99% of someone's life in a single shot where the TR sniper could only take away 51%, I'd be in agreement with you, but I really don't think that'll be the case. |

TL;DR Smurfs will be best snipers in PS2. |

Everything was pretty close in PS1 we saw a fairly even 1:1:1 split as people just rolled what looked best, if one teams design philosophy gives better weapons this time round that won't happen

It will likely be so that an NC sniper does, for example, 90 damage on body shot and other rifles have a maximum of 85 on body but with a slightly higher fire rate. Both will multiply to a OSOK headshot if that is what's being planned.
Something along those lines. |

I don't know why people are freaking out about the bolt driver being NC exclusive. The other 2 factions I am sure will get their own version of a sniper rifle.
Look at it this way. Sure the NC have the Bolt Driver. It may do slightly more damage than the other rifles. Just like all the other NC weapons but at a slower rate of fire. Where as the TR version of the rifle does less damage than the Bolt Driver but they can fire more frequently than the NC version. As for the VS. I wouldn't be surprised if its some form of a laser sniper rifle that fits somewhere in the middle of the NC version and TR version. Its all going to work out in the end. Stop freaking out about it. ![]() To help better explain please see examples below. NC: Bolt Driver - 90dmg - 3 sec reload TR: ????? Rifle - 80dmg - 1.5 sec reload VS: Laser Rifle- 85dmg - 2.5 sec reload Last edited by Hmr85; 2012-02-12 at 08:50 AM. |

Think of it this way; NC 50 dmg 2 second fire TR 25 dmg 1 second fire Overtime these do the same dps, in practice the NC kills in 2 seconds, the TR takes 4, they both get to do any dmg over 100 on 4 seconds. Same with the old JH and MCG, they were balanced over time; in the field the JH was far superior. I'm not saying it's not possible to balance these, but dmg/RoF do not play as well with eachother as you think.
