Gauss Sniper Rifle ????

Post » Wed Nov 10, 2010 2:27 am

Yup. It svcks. I even tested it on a few non moving targets. Only once I got a one hit kill. On most killcams I do hit the opponent, but thats all.

What exactly is the use of it? The dsg is better on every point. It has no pros.

I played th gauss gun, kick s ass! dont need to change it .. making it one shot one kill will make game play unfair.. in the story line even ... some guy tries to kill u with it... i think the only thing they should change is giving the player the ablility to carry a powerful rapid fire side arm to compensate for the lack of QcB prowess... or perhaps make gauss gun melee do extra damage so if u bash an enemies skill with the butt of the rifle is more lethal than normal smackdowns... perhaps add a shockwave EMP knife at the barrel... nano emp bayonette maybe.

So why should I choose this weapon instead of the dsg? Like I said, the dsg is better on every point.

Except damage. On the PC version this weapon gets consistent OHKs if it gets passed the awful hit detection. Ive been using it all day today and almost every time I get a hit marker its a kill.

If you are bad at aiming or playing on consoles then stick to spamming the DSG-1.

So no one on PC is using armor? Also, don't imply Its my aiming. Stationary targets do not die.

Not 24/7. Even if they are you can still headshot them or send a follow up shot. Are you trying to run and gun with it or something?

Also, Armor mode hurts the DSG-1 more than it does the Gauss.

For online MP sake , no F'king OHK weapon , please . this gonna make one hell of a unbalanced issue , and the only way to have a chance will be to use a gauss ( OHK sniper + Dog tag retriever = WTF ) .

Counter-strike . AWP . Bad memories .

OHK weapon should never be included in a game . make a 6v6 games , equip one team with Gauss , and the other team with SCARs . who gonna win ? Gauss team of course ( unless they really svck bad ) . So what happen ? SCAR team go ''Wtf is this , cant do s**t '' , so they have 2 choice 1. leave 2. use Gauss . Where the fun ?

and Dog tag retriever make this **** even more chaotic , Gauss team will be sending orbital strike all over the dam place .

It should be a ohk when shot in the upper body, without armor. Now its just useless and inferior to the dsg.

Also, the dsg lookst like crap. The quality of its texturing and model are nothing compared to the other weapons in the game.

DUDE ITS UNBALANCED THE WAY IT IS I SWEAR YOU HAVE TURBO SPEED ARMOR AND FRIGGIN STEALTH TO ELUDE SNIPERS GROW THE FK UP L2P AND QUIT TELLING SNIPERS THEY HAVE TO svck TO PLZ YOUR SELF WORTH

now let me give some perspective it takes 3 count it 3 shots from gauss to destroy a ceph gun ship and yet i cant kill a player in one shot on chest any questions ppl i think not FIX THE GAUSS SNIPER CRYTECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why bring f*****g Ceph ship into this . it's not about realism , it's about balance . And the prob with OHK gun is exactly that , people don't even need to be good at the game to get kill streaks with them , give them to good players , and you have are pretty huge unbalanced mess .

Hell , with OHK sniper , you don't even need to hide and snipe , you can run around the battlefield and still win close range encounter pretty easely .

OHK to head only. OHK weapons are a bad idea in MP; they annoy more people than they stand to benefit.

Because a .50 caliber bullet using rail gun technology ripping through your chest and leaving an exit wound the size of a graqefruit where your heart was should be survivable.

Edit: And for those of you afraid of a OHK weapon, learn how to play FPS games. Don't run through wide open areas like an idiot. Even then, you've got active camo FFS, spend your energy whining about something useful.

Realism argument doesn't work, it's about balancing. If you give people an OHK weapon they nearly always abuse it.

Let me get this straight.

A weapon, weaker than the other weapon in its class (making it useless), unlocked at level 39, is balanced?

Lolz.

Its so frustrating to see blood squirting out of someones chest without them dying.

That's the way it is in CoD for the most part, but it's not weaker than the DSG1 anyway.

in cod BO l96a1 and psg1 both ohk to upper chest and oviously you havent used gauss on ps3 it is weaker quit trying to stop us with your weak ass arguements were asking one shot kill if no armor up 2 with armor quit being such a troll mickey and L2P

Stop assuming everyone is playing this on PS3. We get it, there may be an issue with the Gauss damage on the PS3. Its fine on PC and as far as I know its also fine on Xbox.

Just an FYI, the Gauss is actually broken at some fundamental level. It misses shots regularly that it shouldn't miss. Crouched, zoomed, firing test shots, you'll have maybe half randomly fly off mark by several meters for no apparent reason. This contributes to the Gauss' already weak feeling.

It certainly does have horrible hit detection which I mentioned in an earlier post of mine in this thread. Often your shot literally passes through stationary targets giving not even a hit marker. I see the impact animation behind them usually and then the bullet trail passing through them.

Hedgehog, yeah, I apologize. That's exactly correct. I've got a video fraps'ed of it happening but with the rampant cheating that was going on I focused on more.. uh.. pressing matters. Heh.
