Will there be some sort of sniping weapon that allows scoping? In Half Life they had the crossbow and in many other FPS there are some sort of sniping weapons. These are EXCELLENT and a lot of fun in multiplayer!

It looks like there will be, I remember in the barracade movie he zoomed in pretty close to the soldier. I know that wasn't a sniper, but I'm pretty sure they should have it after seeing that :E
 
Um you guys are just guessing, pure speculation there is no sniper rifle that we have seen as of yet. Sorry ...
 
But most likely there WILL be one, since the maps are huge.
 
Yes there is a sniper rifle, ive seen it and you can zoom in and out. This is hl2 we are talking about right ? if so yes there is a sniper rifle that you can scope with.
 
if are 2 types of sniper weapon?
one can be the rifle
and the other ona can be the crosbow,to make silenced shots
if are a alien sniper weapon?

if the rifle whit the nightvision is the sniper?
 
I can confirm that.... (goddamn bastards of a hl2 site I won't name here posting spoilers.... :()

I'd really rather strongly argue that sniper rifles have ruined FPS multiplayer. There is no skill or fun involved in dying the second you move from cover to dozens of 12 year old trash-talking kiddies with sniper rifles.

Eh.

But of course there will be. It wouldn't be an FPS if it weren't unoriginal and derivative, no?
 
I love the concept of sniping in games. But it is rarely done well.


I wouldn't mind being killed by snipers in games if I knew the people useing them had to use some real skills.



Of course some do. Which I respect. But most just really get on my tits. :)


If I were to put a sniper in a game I would make the gun fire with an extremely low rate of fire. That way people could actually move from cover to cover safely. Or reasonably safely...


Well, thats what I would do as a starter.

The awp is an example of a bad sniper rifle in a game.
I swear its only purpose is too take the ****ing piss.

Its the ONLY realistic weapon in the game in terms on damage (Somewhat realistic) and its the most accurate too!


It just doesnt fit the play style in my opinion...


Bah, whatever. I have rambled too long. I have to go eat... and sleep...
 
So this means eveyone has me at a dissavantage they all no more then i do.


Spill the beans or i shall be forced to gut you all were you stand Mahahahhaaaaa :cat: :laugh:

IMO the game thats handled sniping perfectly is BF1942.

they can be deadly but they need real skill to hit a moving target.
 
Farcry is also very hard to snipe from far away unless you edit the game and make it perfectly still but that game is going to be very hard to snipe, it keeps moving constantly like it would. Seriously Farcry multiplay will take skill to kill.

Except for the explosive weapons.. I've died so many times in large servers a few seconds after I spawned due to them, ah well
 
I love the Far Cry Sniper Rifle! The coolest thing is the lens...it reflects what it "sees" I have longed to see this implemented in a video game and now...it has become a reality!

Yeah, a lot of people bitch about the sniper rifle's being useless. But you can make a bucketload of kills with it if you do it the right way. These people whine about "lag" (no, bullets don't travel at lightspeed) and will never hit a moving target.

Too bad HL2 is mostly hitscan, hopefully they'll make the sniper rifle an exception otherwise it's too damn easy.
 
I like the Operation Flashpoint Snipers... the fun with those sniper rifles is that it is hard to snipe

Usually a lens will reflect what is behind you if you are looking at it from an offset angle. FarCry displays what is in front of you. Not very realistic but a nice effect all the same.

I believe in HL2 the lens does reflect what is behind you. I'm not sure if it reflects characters as well as background though, will be good if it does.

exactly.

My favourite cure for depression is

Map: Gazala
Team: British
Class: Sniper
Where?: Overlooking the Axis airfield.
Why?: becuase theres always 3-4 guys just standing there plane camping.


usualy get 18 kills before i run out of ammo and stealthily run onto the airfield and nick a stukka.

muahahhahaha
 
in my opinion cs has possibly the most unrealistic sniping weapons in any fps, there's like now physics to those newb sticks
 
this forum needs more americas army players... thats snipeing... freakin awesome... to bad I got rid of it cuz i didnt want to take dumbass written tests in training

maybe if I really wanted to join the ****ing army... otherwise dont force me to train before I play the game to its full extent... its really to bad also because the game play is freaking awesome.... :hmph:
 
I hope they bring back the crossbow, it'll be so fun to pin things against walls, i'd love to send a bolt right to a combine soldiers groin and see him hook onto a lamp post,lol, if there is an auto aim it should automatically aim for the groin.
 
I agree that easy to use sniper rifles in multiplayer games are irritating. My mate uses one whenever I play Halo against him. I can't go out without getting shot in the head. So I just hang around in my base until he gets bored and comes to try and get me, or I get a warthog and kamikaze him :E.

I reckon the best sort of sniper weapons are those where the sight wanders, as though the player was breathing in and out. They need skill to use.
 
if they are porting CS over to HL2 (not sure because i havent played cs in 2 years) i wonder what they are going to do regarding the map size.

I checked out the weapons in HL2 (on the page) and i dont see anything regarding a sniper refile. The rifles shown are more combat rifles rather than sniping ones.

I am more of a Colt person myself rather than AWP! but its good to see your calling it AWP rather than AWM. Good thing about that rifle is the sound it makes, i have a sub n i can really feel the bass and it sounds like it has one hell of a kick :)
 
Errr... Euphoria, the weapons from the official media are only some of what will be in the final release...

Why? It's an Arctic Warfare Magnum. It's not the Police version. It says that in the game and on the web page... yet people still call it the AWP because the CS team didn't go into the code and fix where it says "awp" when you kill someone with it. Anyone that thinks people are stupid for calling it an AWM is ignorant.
 
I agree with the comment about Farcry and its sniper gun...when I used it the first thing I thought was I wouldn't be as cheesed off getting killed with this sniper gun, it pretty difficult to keep a bead on your target.

There are other weapon physics implemented in Farcry I liked, example is the M4...you must bring it up and aim to be accurate which equals loss of speed and more limited view. I didn't like the way it handled grenades tho...I like to cook 'em a bit so they are nice and hot before serving :P

Re the HL2 having a sniper type weapon : I would be extremely suprised if there wasn't one, especially with that camera view technology they showed off in the tech demo video (floating cam, camera shot through the monitors scene) . I expect a sniper gun with a monitor that shows a focused view instead of the traditional scope.
 
Sorry, n00b question: what do AWM and AWT mean

Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT)
Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM)

??
 
AWM = Arctic Warfare Magnum as mentioned before

I really hope they bring back allmost all of the old weapons, i really did NOT like the new mp7 and the Ar3 or whatever (the gun with the green scope)
 
A Large Caliber Sniper rifle will be in the game, that´s what i´ve heard.
