Yeah I was talking about the good standard ones, besides, you can't even see clearly in scope as far as it shoots. It's not like it makes much of a difference. Does the MRL and Arty only outrange it? Not exactly much of a difference then, since nothing else would be able to reach the sniper...

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

I tried them out in several different instances and my conclusion is...

Black Hand snipers are my fav. I can't say the same for Deadeye, though. I die more often when I use him. Must be those fruity clothes (Oh, Parker and Obata used to wear them? I better be careful Sarcasm ).

I'll use Havoc only when I'm bored and we have the enemy on the ropes. He's just too noticeable otherwise (yeah, I'm a camper-sniper). I prefer Sakura over Havoc because they're not as noticeable on most maps.

Overall, it depended on the map, and the overall team's behavior.

GDI on Walls Flying being aggressive: Havoc pwned.
Nod on Volcano being defensive: Sakura kicked butt.
Nod on Complex being aggressive: BH Sniper was awesome.

Just experiment. Saying that one rifle is better than the other (in this game, anyway), is a bit ambiguous. Sniping isn't everything, either. I've killed more people with proxies on some maps than I have with a rifle.

That's crap, berkut. No matter what kind of outfit you're in, people will notice you, unless you're facing a bunch of dickos.

The ramjet is superior to the regular sniper in all but three places:
-The ramjet has that annoying blue streak that gives you away.
-The regular sniper reloads sightly faster (Although it takes slightly longer between shots)
-Price (Duh)

So unless you're some place sneaky (Behind the crates in the Nod base on C&C_Canyon), or really short on cash, the ramjet pwnz the regular rifle. Especially on any map with flying vechs, or if the enemy tries an MRLS rush or something...

The ramjet is better, that's why it costs twice as much. I don't think there's any debate about that, but is it cheap or not? As in, is it TOO good?

I find it easier to get headshots with a 500-credit sniper, for some reason.

You forgot that there is no bighead for nods $5 sniper. So if your opponent is cheating in such a way, you will not be affected.

Well yes, it is; Renegade is 75% mental. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like the timing is a bit different for the sniper rifle versus the Ramjet, which probably explains the difference.

Maybe, but the 500 sniper doesn't give easier headshots. Maybe the timing is just better suited for you, or you're more used to it, or you've been getting slightly luckier with it the entire time.

Numberwise, it's inferior to the nubjet. There can't be any debate about that.

here read this,its a server side adjustment on the jelly-server.Jelly got fed up with noob-jets owning light armored vehicles. Maybe more servers can follow this and make the snipers snipe infantry like theyre made for. Pics and raves are anti-tank infantry not a noob-jet

An moden day Sniper rifle can really fuck up a light armoured vehicle.. so I see nothing wrong with an Ramjet being able to kill humvees, etc.

Because renegade is not based on realism. If it was, it would take a lot fewer shots to kill things. A lot.

Also, that means the regular sniper rifle should be more powerful in the game than it is.

I reckon the rate of fire is why it seems easier to get headshots with the 500 sniper. When you're aiming for a small, moving target, it's good to be ready to fire just that bit quicker... otherwise the head has already moved out of your reticle and you have to retrain your shot. If you're going for headshots, the rate of fire between reloads is more important than the reload time (Ramjet has faster reload). Most of us don't hit with every round, so it's good to fire several fast shots and have more chance of hitting.

Quite often you can shoot at someone with a 500 sniper and they won't notice, sometimes even if you hit them in the body they will still be oblivious - how many times have you fired a ramjet near someone and they have just carried on and not notice the blue line tracing all the way back to you.

If your target doesn't know you are there they will most likely be running around and jumping a lot less and it will be MUCH easier to split his skull.

Does this not make sense to anyone else?

In most common sniper situations (Bridge on C&C_City_Flying, tunnels on all maps), your enemy is never obvilious because snipers are common in these areas.

Anyways, people who jump are only marginally harder to hit. It fucks them up a lot more than it fucks you up because they can't aim then.

In some maps, where's there only maybe 1 or 2 sniper points, I'd say using ramjets would be better, since you're either at one place or another.

When playing large maps with many places to hide, then its better to use the 500 sniper so you have sometime before they spot you... unless you're horribly bad at being stealthy Sarcasm
