seven shots is nothing in a game of sniping. granted, a sniper better than i could land seven kills, but reasonably, i could make seven kills in the entire period of 32 shots. k00leo,the best sniper i know, arguably the best in renegade could maybe do that on the best day of his LIFE. i know u couldnt. being modest, i could land maybe 4 kills and blow up one or 2 buggies on an average day ask k00leo. im better at aow than i am at sniping.

Using a havoc when the other team has no barracks is, while strategically sound, dishonorable. I don't think anyone appreciates having to die in a single hit 20 times over just because they can't kill the other guy as fast. It's most frustrating for experienced players because they know they are better than some of the havoc users, and even using advanced ambushing tactics with high accuracy can easily fail against a havoc who can just point & click on your chest with little to no skill involved. Kinda makes you feel the effort of playing without a barracks isn't worth it.

Blackhand/deadeye is my personal best. On any "good" day, I can kill about 7 people per 28 rounds. I have had to go up against no0bs with ramjets (I like to call them assjets because most of the time an ass is behind the rifle) and I have gotten about 3 kills per 32 rounds because the havoc/sakura can kill even if you are shot in the abdomen. Now I have found a few ways to counter these encounters.
1. always go the opposite way the ramjet is going. For instance, if the person is running left, you run right, vise versa, if the person is running forward, you run backward in a zigzag pattern
2.try to stay hidden, even in close contacts, if they don't know you are there and they run past you, DON'T FIRE!! you need to conserve your ammo on targets of oppritunity.
3.If you and an opponent find yourselves in a draw, use your pistol, it shoots faster and more accuratly than the ramjet. 500 snipers are better off shooting a pistol in a draw than a sniper rifle.
the only thing I can say is this: ROFL!!!!

Renx | The logic behind getting a ramjet when the other team has no barracks/HoN, is no better than cheating itself.
| Yes but thats the logic behind it. :rolleyes:
In game it just means your teams sucks, because they lost the barracks and now you've gotta die like 50 times as a punishment....
You can't lose the Barracks and then complain about lame ramjets/n00bjets, it's thesame as with the Weapons Factory and not being able to buy vehicles, or even the Refinery and not getting credits.. Don't expect to be just as strong as the other team when you're a building behind, especially the Barracks. No Barracks - no advanced infantry units (which has it's "ownt-by-n00bjets-too-fast" downside...deal with it)
|
I'm talking about the people that go out of their way, stop everything they're doing, and get a ramjet just for the purpose of killing basic infantry. There are usually already snipers, but then as soon as the barracks dies, about 5 more people convert to ramjets.
I prefer if the enemy barracks stays alive, because I get my points based on the kills I get. The better characters I kill, the more points I get. Sniping basic infantry is boring, and get no points. If it comes to that, I usually go into the other base and try to take out the engineers repair buildings. Buildings die pretty fast when all of a sudden 4+ engineers stop repairing it :twisted:

Ok. Disclaimer: I suck at sniping.
That being said; I usually can get 10+ kills/32 rounds of ammo.
And I SUCK.
Which means that if you're getting less, you REALLY have no business being a sniper. And if you come on the FUD server with that lack of skill, I guarantee you'll be leaving very quickly.
And as for having barracks dead and the other team having 'jets, well, it depends on the map. On most maps, there are tunnels you can use, and a shotgunner (FREE!) is a one-shot-kill. And if your havoc/sniper takes 4-5 shots to kill me, well; lets's just say he's not really gonna get that chance.
It may be harder, but it's not impossible. So quit bitching, buy a shotgun, and get some skill.
Better yet, buy an engy and an APC. APC >> Sniper.
NOW HINING!
And shepherds we shall be,
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from thy hand;
That our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee,
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

For some weird reason I can headshot people with my med or art from the other end of the map with every single shell even if they're jumping around like rabbits, but I can't snipe for love nor money. I never really found out why that is

Black hand/deadeyes are the mst fun snipers to use. You can play all day long, move from spot to spot with out getting noticed and shoot people without knowing where the bullet came from. It's that simple. between 500 and 1000 snipers, 500 easly won the race.
the only thing I can say is this: ROFL!!!!

Using a havoc when the other team has no barracks is not only dishonorable, it is cheap. If u use a dedii, not only do u increase your skill with headshots, but u actually give then a chance before u send a bullt into their brain.

I don't pretend to have absolutely perfect spelling and grammar 100% of the time, but at least people can usually understand what I'm trying to say :rolleyes:
