Oh, the poor rifle! *snik* :( Taking away the bullets of a rifle is taking away it's dignity. :( A rifle without bullets is not a rifle anymore.

Then it's more like a lasergun or something.

sniper rifle is cool, something a lil different maybe, but its a good equalizer, even though icant use it much being ping challenged...
a laser sight would be cool, you could pin out ppl trying to take aim on you or see it on the wall next to you just before you get head popped!

Who cares about ping? Unreal2 has a single player modus! wouldn't it be cool to snipe birds, skaarj and seagoats?

a quantum Sniper Rifle

Very Slow to load!, Very low on ammo, but you can actually take people out from behind the walls, or inside the buildings.


The bullets would phase through barriers!

That would be a cool weapon. The FC runs and makes it back to base, sound the one shoot and boom your head pops out!

One problem I forsee, U2 levels can be huge and open right? well, they better make sniper rifle ammo hard to come by then or the sniper rifle will be overly powerful. A slower rate of fire would be good as well :)

...standing behind you...
Expect the sniper rifle to be harder to aim with. Standing will cause more movement in the reticle, but crouching allows for more stability. Prone position: not sure if it is or will be implemented.

What most game developers tend to forget is that while looking through a scope, slight movements will cause the image to move rapidly out of sight.

For example, in UT moving the SR while scoped in is slower. But that is not how a scope works. If you scope in on a target, one slight move to the left, right, up or down will cause the target to disappear. Grab a pair of binoculars and you will see what I'm talking about. If you are scoped in, then the mouse sensitivity will increase, instead of decrease.

Sniper rifles will be harder to use and require more skill than the traditional SR.

Yes, you are very right, but I think this is supposed to simulate that you are trying to aim precisely, rather than the normal mouselook, where you need to be able to change directions quickly to save your life.

Anyway, I don't want it to be any harder to aim. Please.:p

Just use a mouse alias to in/decrease mouse sensetivity, as long as they don't remove the console...I hope not, good shooters need consoles! The ~ kind, not the LameCube kind.
Ah well some people say its cheap so maybe they'll remove the console, and people will say there's no weapon balance so they'll remove all the weapons and make only one player class and no multiplayer because some people have bad connections.
I just hope they make the game THEY want to make and not the game Johnny the Whiner wants to make. It seems like a lot of game companies have been scared of giving whiners the short end of the shaft. Hell, as long as U2 is fun...why do we care?

How bout

How about a sniper rifle akin to the one in TFC?
You hold pri. fire to power it up, and headshots to alot more damage after powering up 100%....it could even knock off a HWG with all Health and Armor.....
