Sniper guns are all MEH

Posted by Catfishbillyy on Jan 12, 2013 4:32 AM

i don't understand how a 1 shot kill sniper can have absolutely 0 recoil, pretty stupid if you ask me.

      The Ballista Iron Sights.

      It isn't exactly an issue. W@W also had Scopeless SR, and they were Recoiless too. I don't remember seeing anyone complaining about it either.

       

      Edit: Nasty grammar errors corrected.

          Well, depends then.

          Either he was prone OR if it is an extreme case he had an recoil hack. Yes, mate, these actually exist.

            he wasnt prone,  i dunno about hack but i was just startled at how accurate the gun was... like the cross hairs didnt even move it was just pop pop pop without any recoil it was weird to me

              could've been the SVU or how it's called, the first sniper

              seems to have nearly no recoil, but that's a 2 hit kill unless you hit a headshot

              Well, then go to your theater and tell us what weapon it is. By your description, it looks like it is the SVUAS, which is only a 1HK to the head.

                  Odd.  I've heard mixed reviews over that rifle.  Can't give anything on its recoil though as I've only played with it against bots for like 10 minutes.  I've only used the DSR and the XPR for anything more substantial.  The Ballista does have a quicker ADS time so that might be why quite a few shots are being placed in quick succession but it doesn't have the same multipliers as the DSR, so it's a trade-off.

              There's the CPU Ballistics attachment which reduces recoil.  Most of the guns have little recoil but it seems SMGs and SRs are the ones that get highlighted for this.  The only way to tell if you can't tell visually with which SR it is would be the sound it makes.

               

              MW3 was a good game for having easily identifiable SR sounds as they all sounded different.

                Then taht's more than likely the case. The Ballista has quite a bit of recoil when ADS with a scope, tough zero recoil when ADS with Iron Sights. I haven't used the Ballista w/ Bal.CPU (OH THE LOVELY IRONY) yet so maybe that is the case.

    Ballista has plenty of recoil.

    Don't forget that you were seeing that it had no recoil from a killcam.  Killcams almost never show recoil of any gun, regardless of actual recoil.  So in all actuality, the ballista does have recoil.

    they are fine this time around. my only issue is ADS speed is too quick. should be closer to LMG ADS speeds.

     

    as for power and QS reduced to dragscoping, it is fine.

    I personally think they are all fairly balanced. The only one I have a problem with is the RoF on the SVU. Needs to be tweaked just a hair.
