Sniper rifle.

[Dead-Inside]

If I tell the truth i'll get banned :angel:

Basically you answered out question, thanks

 

[PatPwnt]

I don't mind that, I only mind when the dude never practiced at all, and he shoots me in the toe with the awp, killing me instantly. Because it is a noob cannon.

Wait.... who needs to practice with a sniper rifle?

 

[kevinb456]

well i dont know whether i would want a sniper rifle or not, im more interested in your picture. quite good apart from alyx - she looks like a german pre-op transexual lol

 

[chriso20]

ok here's my view, i think if hl2 has a sniper rifle you should atleast have to crouch (laying down like in DOD in HL2 might be a bit weird).
They should incorporate sway and also use the in-built HEV scope system to range find. (two lines, u scroll up/down (for example) to make them touch, when they do, your sniper rifle is set to the right range) then BANG! *miss* "****ing sway!!!"

I hate cs awpers too, especially the 'pull-knife-out-to-quicky-reload' thing, i mean that's so sneaky!!

Love dod though

QUESTION:
I'm updating my pc to a Intel p4 3ghz, 1mb DDR RAM, 128mb 9800 pro in a day or two, i want good games to play on it until hl2
Any suggestions? (im already gonna get farcry and i like MOH games)
cheers.

"and allows you to shoot it while running."

Yeah, whats wrong with that?

Have you ever fired a gun before? The recoil isn't pleasent. Now imagine running and firing a semi-automatic machine gun.

 

[chimpmunk]

The crossbow is way better, requires skill to use...

so, still doesnt mean you cant fire a gun while running or that there is anything wrong with it. i can imagine running and firing a semi auto gun, recoil no different from standing but my accuracy wouldnt be as good.

Well ill just be sniping with my pistols, doesnt the hev suit have a built in scope now as well or was that just for testing purposes.

CS did used to be labeled as realistic but although in them days it was more realistic.

Why are you all so upset about the awp in cs?
No, a noob in cs doesn't have any better chance against a medium cs player with an awp than with ak or colt.
Normal CS players don't just rush into open areas dominated by the other side (noobs or not), they have to co-ordinate and make use of their flashes, smokes and grenades.

It should take skill to kill someone... duh. Awps = camp fests.

personally i'd be happy if they didn't have any snipes

i like medium range precision type weapons, but i loathe sniping. i hate that i will be running around and then die simply because some dude practiced 5000000000 hours with the sniper rifle.

go play farcry and you will see that the people who win are always snipers or nade launcher spammers, usually snipers. AVP2 IMO is ruined by snipers, ruins the atmosphere and breaks up the gameplay in a negative fashion

if i had my way, no sniping at all. the best you can hope for from me is zoomable assault rifles

i agree with you on this one. my main problem with it is that sniping (multiplayer mostly) is too far from real life distance shooting. its too easy, people get too good with them, and they usually dont have that many disadvantages to balance out the gameplay. its not always like this though. sniping in day of defeat as well as taking out snipers is usually fun. but i just hate how every game throws in the obligatory sniper rifle into a game that it dosent fit, simply because so many people love "2 be teh snip(x)or." one game that comes to mind is max payne. it dosent fit that games gritty urban feel, but was put in simply to show off the bullet time (i love mp and mp2, this is just something that annoys me). the open areas in city-17 could prove to be fun in combination with a sniper rifle, but i just hope valve implements it well if they decide to put it in the game. ive typed way too much, im going back to work.

 

[KurtCobain]

Lol , nice drawing ,

althought the crossbow works like a sniper. with the cool large enviroments and the cool covering you and your allies can do i think a proper sniper would be much better

 

[Daiceman9]

Op4 has a sniper rifle, sp why not HL2?

Using the same logic:

HL didnt have a sniper rifle, so why should HL2?


Edit: Aw crap, i hate it when I forget to check if there is another page...

 

[KiNG]

i seriously dislike it when people whine about snipers in cs. if u are good u can take them out relativly easy and use it very nicely with a lot of prac. the people that kind of get on my nerves are the ones that say they play on occasion(looks like it too) and get killed every round by a good sniper and call them awp whores or go cry about it on their fav forums. lol no seriously though in cs it is balanced and it give me hope for the future of sniping and counter-snipers(sniper rifle or not). sorry i had to vent a lil. im addicted to cs.

so on the topic of sniper rifles in hl2, i hope so.

 

[Flyingdebris]

the point isn't whether snipes are easy to kill, the point is that in too many games they are annoying as hell and muck up the gameplay.

so far the best games that feature sniper rifles are the games that feature an effective way to counter snipers while still keeping snipes effective.

in battlefield or desert combat getting into a vehicle will usually keep you safe, that and a sniper rifle is usless against a tank. this encourages snipes to find good spots and keep moving unless they want a revenge bent enemy player running them over with a tank or blasting them with a helicopter.

in a mod for quake 3 called "urban terror" (sorta like CS but not full of suckage, less weapons, but more features, and no buying) the 2 snipes were balanced by the fact that some people packed tactical goggles which would show players as black shapes on a light green background allowing snipers to be sniffed out quick, the g36 assault rifle could be used to a limited extent to hit the snipers due its zoom. dedicated snipers had to forgoe lots of stuff to make them be better snipes. (i.e. hmm i'll need a silencer for my psg1 and extra ammo and tac goggles so i guess i won't be bringin along an m4 for backup) and moving or jumping with a snipe would throw off your aim by yards. but damn when you got hit by a snipe you were soooo ****ed

 

[chriso20]

I hope HL2's multiplayer will be more tactical and slower, as i feel nausious when playing HL:Multiplayer lol ppl run around like loonies.

They should have different game modes like capture flag and defend your base and stuff DM can get boring.

Shouldn't be too slow, else it will become a camp2win game :frown:

 

[Baal]

That drawing is amazing.

And I'd say they'll have a sniper rifle for sure, wouldn't they?

 

[chriso20]

RED = POSSITIVE
ORANGE = UNSURE

lol how could you say that statement?

and i agree with you Diablo2k. But hl1 multiplayer is toooo fast.

 

[barnacle]

Multiplayer should have option to turn on/off the weapons, in case you don't want a sniper game, but a sniper rifle would be perfect for single player.
Bitcha guy in the face from 100 yards away, and watch him flip over the god damn hand rail behind his at and fall in to a pit of ant lions that don't eat people, just hit them once and leave them.

 

[barnacle]

Sniper would be cool. check it.

 

[Smawg]

sniper rifle means delay. ok? play now, patch later.

 

[muka3d]

Barnacle, that 2nd picture is extremly disgusting and screwed up. But, it inspires me to make my own.

 

[Smawg]

you really are some strange people... well, we need people like you in this world!
