I may have missed it, but, have we seen a sniper rifle in any of the screens or vids?

By sniper I mean anything with decent zoom like the crossbow.
 
hmmm...I never thought about a sniper rifle in HL2, there has to be one!!!! :sniper:
 
A normal sniper rifle would be so cliche, they better have something original. Like a washing machine sniper rifle, that shoots tranquilizing soap.
 
ya something like the XR-20 from Perfect Dark or the rail gun from Redfaction would be awsome.

Gotta love that scope that sees through walls.
 
I'm not to sure there will be one... Though with the increased outdoor levels, there might. But I think its concentrated to close combat... a sniper rifle would make it to easy :)

Edit: forgot to mention, if the OICW can zoom, you got all the sniper capabilities a HL style game would need.
 
True, the OICW can zoom, but since it's an assault rifle, that would be hard to do a head shot.
My hopes for a sniper rifle is: AI Arctic Warfare or an MSG90-A1

If anything, we should be able to kill one of these ladies and take their sniper rifle. :)

The MSG90 is just a cheaper alternative to the PSG-1-so, it wouldn't really matter.
 
it'll matter if ill get SoF2 trauma......ahh just thinking about that game gives me a headache!

YOU'RE WRONG we havent seen the OICW zoom, we've seen the MP7 zoom!
 
Quake 3's weapon that was closet to the sniper rifle was the Rail gun, it was accurate and you could zoom in.
 
well if it has a sniper weapon i hope its totally original (not used in any game yet) or a scientific/cool weapon like the crossbow.

Oops :eek:
 
I would like to see a scoped sling shot !
Preferred weapon of any self-respecting resistance fighter. David vs Golliah. Oh... and some one-eyed tree throwing Xen giant would also be fun to come up against.
 
Yeah, Quake 3 had a rail gun. I hadn't played previous Quakes though.

Yes but the OICW has a scope, therefore it will probably zoom so...

What 'bout it's scope? Red Faction 2's NICW had scope, but you couldn't zoom

Red Faction 2 didn't pay attention to detail, and that's why it was a bad game. Putting a scope on a gun and then not letting it zoom is probably one of the worst things to do if you want to try and make your game seem professionally made.

No, it will most definatelly have zoom, however that does not, by any means, make it a sniper rifle.

Games are made how now? Professionally?...
J/k
 
Then again .. the weapon's secondary function is launching grenades (as seen in the vid) .. so Tredoslop could be right.

actually you said "You aer teh wrong! Weh hven't seen teh OICW zoom, teh mp7 r belong to teh zoomeh" to someone's simple comment of: "IF the OICW can zoom" :p
 
Hmm, LoneDeranger, that's a good point...

Maybe there's now a secondary fire and a tertiary fire key? That'd be the best the option. Failing that, I'd personally do without the grenade launcher, as you can't really see it but the scope is there and may as well have a use.

I'll bet there's a seperate zoom key.
 
Tertiary fire, now that's new-sounds pretty interesting. I know what tertiary means, could be a new concept.
Primary=Bullets
Seconday=Grenade/Zoom(i dunno)
Tertiary=Melee
 
This thought just came to mind...

Remember in another forum topic about the OICW scope? Well, it was pointed out that when you looked around, you could see a zoomed-in view of the surroundings in night-vision. Maybe, instead of being able to zoom, you can see the night-vis surroundings through the scope.

Just a thought, I know it's dumb, but it might be the way it'll happen.

[EDIT] Ah, here's the topic: http://hl2.burstfire.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4057
Howevr, it's been refered to as a glitch, but it could work instead of the zoom-in mode...

The fact that the OICW has a green scope-like thingy doesnt make the OICW "zoomable". :- ) :cheers:

It's a reflection (you can see doors that are behind you in bugbait)... you couldn't see through the scope at that angle.
