Get the UT2007 Sniper rifle right

[Kyllian]

Maybe they should do a bit of a comprimise between the LG and the classic Sniper
Remove the smoke, but put a kind of "wake trail" behind
Something like the bullet is moving so fast it ionizes the air or superheats it causing something like a smoke trail

Ltg > SR in all situations. hey should abandon the SR completely and keep the Ltg IMO.

Wordtastic.

cSR is DULL, and CRAP too.

CSR used to be kool... i lik the lg but i like being able to headshot n00bs every 3 sec

What I'd really like to see would be a sniperrifle that is impossible to fire whithout using the zoom-function. ie : make it a true sniperrifle instead of something that is possible to use in close-quarters combat. IMHO that was one of the reasons for the extra long weapon-switchtime the LtG had.

And for effects ? The plasma-rifle in FEAR would be a good start. It appears to be a projectile-based weapon (like the cSR) with a very visible beam-effect like the LtG. Even the zoom-effect with it's unfocused area at the outside is well done as it looks cool while and not terribly distracting at the same time.

So I hope that in the end Epic isn't removing either sniperrifle, but rather they're going to replace it with something that combines the best of both worlds.

i dont have feelings with the sniper rifle i pwn better with LG bcause its cool with perfect particles fxes only they must pwnage the gun more but let it stay yellow

 

[Swerto]

the sr just like the other weapons is probably going to b like it is in uc2 because the time difference (1yr) and be that laser sr

I tend to like the LG effects, though I think most of the weapons’ model, and its color could use an over haul. For the SR I vote to beef it up and make it for ONS and CON. Turn the bitch into an anti vehicle SR similar to either Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, or the one used in America's Army. That would make a sweet weapon, while adding a bit of stealth to ONS and CON.

the SR of uc2 is a energy based sniper i think its a railgun i dont like the sound of the SR of ut2k4 to its so gay like u blow up a chips bag

...No.

No? Did I miss the memo that banned opinions? Hell, that wasn't even an opinion, but a fact. It is true that the lightning gun is a futuristic sniper rifle. gg n00b

Dude. It's one of the smileys on this forum.

 

[Kantham]

Oh noes, drama



I think the same as many persons here. The removal of LTG in my opinion is a very bad idea. It would be nice if we could get both like ut2004.

Well, let's hope there isn't a need for a 2nd hitscan-type weapon to balance maps. I hope they put more emphasis on close range combat. They have to tone down hitscan's effectiveness. If I were trying to lessen the sniper's effectiveness, I'd lower rof and/or lower damage so a headshot's enough to kill a newly spawned player, but nothing more, and keep the fast weapon switch. The bad thing about having one long distance weapon in the game, is there is no other way to fight back, other than use the same long distance weapon. The game shouldn't be reduced to people shooting one firemode and hiding behind cover. If you want that type of game go play the million other fpses out there reduced to this type of gameplay.

 

[Vault]

id like a crossbow type sniper thingy,it wouldnt be hitscan, but it'd be a really fast shot... like .000000001 of a second, with a rof the same as the CRS, and it wouldnt shoot arrows... but like a cylinder of red hot metal.. head shot capable, with some splash damge, and with effectivness against vehicles.... like 4 shots to kill a scorpian.. and it would go through glass and thin walls... and a 12x scope

anyone else?

 

[Swerto]

um yeah turn up the SPAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no it's probably gonna be the UC2 SR...

 

[Vault]

how would that be spammy?

 

[cocito]

i really dont care what epic does cuz its gonna rock!

 

[-AEnubis-]

Splash = Spam to some people.

Unless he mis-interpreted "fast shot," which meant fast moving projectile, and not fast RoF.

Crossbow has been done before. Tyridium is the way to go.
