yeah right dude my uncle has been to iraq i have seen cellphone vids a sniper rifle doesn't need 3 shots in real life. if call of duty wants to be better then battlefield 3 lmao make a osk sniper its only basing off real life isn't that what there aiming for? why make a game that is completely fake and cal it real? hypocritical out the ass if you ask me. ive had kids online tell me that call of duty mw3 is so real it should be the "number one" warfare game *cough* my ass. if a pp9om1 can kill people in two shots with a silencer but a sniper get asteriks? sign up call of duty to fight our real life battles with there 3 shot snipers lmao

Exactly. It's all about balance. It's bad enough there are quickscopers running around getting OSK's with sniper rifles up close, but at a distance to mangled by such a weapon (in a video game) doesn't seem fair.

It is just a video game, after all, so balance is more important than reality.

Indeed, what happend to the good days when i got to blow someones arms or legs off. It was more rewarding when I landed a long shot with the PTRS. Bettys and Nades too, red mist everywhere. Sigh.....

It was either

A: Some kids mom got mad because of it

B: The dev team cried when they thought of dismembering their precious, calculated 3d models.

Im guessing A. Although this game is rated M, im sure that parents would be hesitant to buy their kid this game if a limb fell off every now and then. We all know that money talks, and a huge portion of the sales are from parents buying their 12 yr old mw games. Activision goes where the green is.

Go play hc if you want to land a osk everytime. Otherwise these guys are right about the balance issue. But in my opinion A strategic unbalance makes the game better, Not in this case but with stopping power. I miss that perk.

I miss that part of the game too. Added authenticity in what you were doing. My best memories when thinking about W@W were with the MG42. That thing was a beast! Getting into those situations when a group of enemy soldiers are charging you and boom, you open up with the 'buzz saw'. Now that was gore!

You are forgetting a very important fact:

This is a video game, not real life.

its way to comic-y hence they should regret comparing it to battlefield and any other game thats considered warfare like medal of honor. the old call of dutys were the **** not compared to these mw3 and black ops now a days kids break these games down like candy for what extra points? get laid, esp whoever created map spawn points on mw3 ive never seen so much spawn camping/killing in my damn life

well now every sniper but the rsass is a OHK as long as your not me

WKMMS i agree it is a trade off i have stated in other post this is not a simulation game. If it were the amount of people playing would drop off dramtically. No bullet drop,wind caculations, picking which rounds to use in the Barret. etc.

definitely... but could you imagine if that gun was more true to life in this game.... the nerf cries would be deafening!

Exactly. Shotguns don't have headshot multipliers. Maybe they thought it would be OP to 1-shot someone in the head every time. I'd like it though.

Were there really flying body parts in previous CoDs?

 

I'd love to see a bit of gore...

 

The kill cams on Sniper Elite v2 are insane...

 

OT, I'd like to see 1HKs from the 50 cals, but I'd like to see them as a more static gun. They should make you go prone and remove qs from them...

Bingo. I'd gladly accept a higher OHK rate from sniper shots in exchange for vastly degraded QS hit rates/kills.  Scope in, put the CH on me... torso/head = alwasy dead.  Arm/leg... with Barrett.. 50% dead.  Others a little less, but definitely in the "red" when you connect.
