Whats so special about the pick up snipers?

SGT.JOKER · 10-27-2007, 04:24 PM

I was playing mestia as militia when a brit sniper ran at me with his pistol like a mad man, I killed him and picked up his kit. To my suprise he had an M82, this shocked me mainly because I didnt think there was one on mestia. Anyways I started using the rifle and I didnt really like using it, yeah Ill give it the fact that for the most part it was one shot one kill but it wasnt very special compared to all the other sniper rifles in game, so why does every one make such a big deal about it?

to be honest it aint that much of a good weapon, in fact its probaly worse than the normal sniper as you can only use it when prone... ppl just think its "cool"

it maeks such c00l 1337 noies
(read: it makes such a loud noise, that every enemy in 300m area will be very keen on knifing you)

I don't get it. I personally found only the one on 7 gates (by accident - was looking for a spot for rally) and I didn't even bother with picking it up. I never found any other because I never actually tried to find them.

We play Hunt the Noob with the Tube when we here the calling of the gun

Maybe people think that they are special when they use a gun that no one else have (just a thought).

I really think the pickup sniper option is unrealistic.

there should be a training option in singleplayer mode dedicated to training snipers- when you graduate the course, you can use a sniper kit in game. (including the pickup kits)

it should be really hard.

Uzi's man Uzi's! Thats the only reason i pick up the m82 anymore, Sure the ability to make your enemies bleed to death with one shot to the chest is nice but eh i dont care that much just drive me on a motor bike and i'll take down more british trucks then anyone else can with rpg's! Although as insurgent the double zoom level is nice compared to the mosin.

penetrating any glass with high percision. I havnt used it much my self -_- because i dont like sniping anyways

on maps like 7 gates, i suspect that it is a british ploy to distract the PLA team so they abandon the river fort to search for the this holy grail like item. so that the invading brits will capture it with in the first 5 mins of game time.

just a theory.
