The Sniper Rifle

Post by EmptyShadow »

What, you thought this was going to be a thread bitching?

HELL NO

I LOVE YOU GUYS FOR FIXING THE SNIPER RIFLE

IT'S A USABLE WEAPON NOW

*hugs the devs*

Unfortunately now everyone uses it so I kinda lost my good sniper's mystique. =/

Do you mind if I bitch?
Not really bitching, but why does it do nearly nothing on some zombies? Even with a headshot?

Go play 1.23 again :P

Massive breathing movement, about 60 damage per shot maximum...

Terrible weapon. Crossbow all the way back then.

Now it actually kills stuff!

As did I.

Good trick in 1.23, SMOD or HL2.

Hold zoom with the magnum out, hold fire button. Aim for enemy head. Release zoom.

I don't think the sniper did less damage back in 1.23, you probably just missed the enemies due to the lack of lag compensation.

Only thing that confuses me about it is that if you zoom in, the laser still comes from the lower right corner which is looking somewhat weird. Guess it would be better having it either disabled (clientside) as long as you are zoomed in or letting the laser come from the middle.
