Pow you dead or pow pow you dead. what do you think I mean common you get to level 39 and you basically get ANOTHER dsg-1 surely you want an even better weapon?

The last thing we need are people running around quckscoping/no-scoping like on the last 3-4 Call of duty games.

With the slower fire rate and not being a ohk when using armor, I'd say it would be balanced.

Haha yeah 50% faster fire rate, and one hit kill, that's a good idea... [/sarcasm]

I don't see a problem modifying it a bit. It is, after all, an upper-tier weapon, however its lack of atachments, bulky/heavy size, loud shot, slower firing rate, and really unnoticable damage difference does make it a bit worthless compared to say the DSG-1. I really don't find snipers in this game to ultimately be useful at all, however I would agree the Gauss is a bit nerfed if anything. I would say a bit of change to one stat or the other could be benificial, but not both, that's ridiculous.

With that being said, its not nearly as easy to Quick Scope in this game because its auto-lock is much more minor that CoD. If you notice when you reticle over someone it doesn't really pull or drag it, compared to CoD where it'll pull it 20 feet to whichever direction the person it. Also, the Sniper actually requires a body hit to count, whereas in CoD if you used the Intervention you could miss by 6 feet and still get a kill (made me rage more than anything else in that game, lol).

I think OHK and fires half as fast as the DSG-1
