I opened this thread because I want you to argue reasons for why the Sniper Rifle is better than the Ramjet, or why the Ramjet is better than the Sniper Rifle. Now I will say that personally, I believe both are good for different purposes, but lets imagine you only could have ONE, for your entire Renegade life...Which would you choose, and why?
I'll begin.....
Sniper Rifle
Pros: Its faster. It has a lower sound. Where it is coming from cannot be seen.
Cons: Longer reload, weaker.
Ramjet
Pros: Far more powerful, faster reload, the bullet is actually ''wider'' than the sniper rifle round, making it easier to hit with.
Cons: Slower, leaves a trail behind the bullet which is very easily seen, is louder.
Given that, I'm going to say. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .Personally, I would rather use the Sniper Rifle. Why? Because lets be honest...After sniping for awhile, if you become really good at it, 50% or more of the shots that you fire and actually hit with SHOULD be head shots, so its really not much different. Plus, like stated, its faster AND cannot be seen in midair. This means that it is perfect for ground assaults, and ''pop-out-of-wall'' attacks. However, that being said, the Ramjet is unsurpassed in anti-unarmored-tank destruction, and is far better if you have a lower skill level or are playing against someone SO good that you need that extra damage boost.

Ramjet's a tad unbalenced IMO. If it had a tad bit longer reload and the trail lasted a bit longer, then it'd be fine. I still prefer the 500 sniper though. Invisible bullet, faster rate of fire, etc. In the end, the sniper beats the ramjet.
So yeah, I'd have to pick the 500 sniper.

Since it is for my "whole Renegade life" I have no other choice but to get the Ramjet Rifle. As for why, it is versatile against light vehicles, 1 shot 1 kill against any character, and kill basic characters in one shot.
Also, the long barrel that protrudes in front of you aids you well in making a good shot at close ranges.
I hate if because it reveals your position. And if you are a good shot, there should be no complaints about a slow-reload time.

Not if you look at the whole package:
-1000 credits (that's lots of money)
-1 Ramjet (slow reload)
-good against lightly armored vehicles (that are not used much as a game goes on except Apache/Orca and that too on flying maps only)
Looks pretty balanced to me.

Ramjet, because having to use 10 shots to take down an orca really, really, really sucks.

Are you even capable of posting anything that's remotely correct? Especially after your "Rockets, Missles, Morters, Homers, and Grenades." bullshit?

Dover, you know, instead of attempting to lambast me at every corner, how about you go out and find a life? There are these magical things called 'females' you know.
Secondly, I would love to challenge you to 1 v 1 sniper sometime. You can use your uber 1337 Ramjet, and I'll use my horrible filthy and pathetic Sniper Rifle.
You have anger issues and thus feel the need to attempt and belittle people on a forum instead of just contesting their views because you, haha, well, have no real control over your life, which spawns anger. I'm sure you'll reply with a 'witty' comeback and attempt to deflect it, but hey, it doesn't change the truth.
On another note, the rcokets missles mortars etc, thing.....I'm perfectly correct on all of that. Its meerly an observation. If you don't agree, then so what? Get over it or heres a brand new idea, state YOUR idea instead of just calling everyone an idiot and thinking yourself so high and mighty. Honestly, what the fuck is your problem dude? This is a game forum. How about you go out and do something productive instead of harassing me all day. Oh wait, ROFL, I forgot, you: ''Do have a life'', and ''It only takes a few seconds post'', and ''But its so easy to point out your failings''. And I'm Bill Clinton.
Dover fails as usual.

There's no relevant way to say it, either, judging by your post.

You don't know this game very well if you think that contest could possibly demonstrate which of the two is better.
Patch vs Technician 1v1? Patch will win, but he's still of very little practical use whereas the Technician is extraordinarily useful.
Sniping is a very small part of Renegade. Dealing with enemy vehicles is a massive part of it. If we're talking about light vehicles and aircraft, the Ramjet is far superior. If we're talking about picking off their infantry support, the Ramjet is somewhat superior. All you are taking into account is a 1v1 sniper fight, which
-a- doesn't take the skill of the participants into account
-b- (more pressingly) absolutely pales by comparison, in terms of importance, to the scenarios I mentioned.
Thus, the Ramjet is better - it is more useful.

Back to topic....
Sniper Rifles, good for REAL sniping, involves hiding in the battle field and sniping techs and hotwires or other snipers, because you cant be seen that easily. 500's are generally for the more crafty and devious.
However, in tunnel combat, Ramjets FTW. Reload time REALLY matters in tunnel combat but not so much when sniping 'non' sniper prey.
My theory is that if you can get good with 500's, you can seriously start to own with Jets, especially if you try to not get lazy by going for body shots.
I dont know if any1 else thinks so but it always puts a smile on my face when I take down a ramjet with a 500 
|
the problem is that "REAL sniping" is absolutely worthless, because the enemy will just steamroll you with tanks...

Not always. Sometimes I will be able to get to the nod sniper bunker on field just before nod takes the field and be able to take out some techs or enemy snipers that way. The only annoying part is occasionally an SBH may come by, but I ussually go unseem for a pretty long time.
