Sniper is now a 1 shot kill without a headshot?

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 6:34 am

Throughout the new trailer, you can see the player getting one shot kills with the sniper to the chest on un-armored targets. Has the sniper been buffed since the 360 demo? If it has then that is great!=]

It's probably some of the abilities the guy had equipped as well. I don't think they would make it a regular one shot kill.

It would be crap if it was a one shot kill to the chest. I hope they keep it 2 shots to the chest.

It wouldnt be "Crap" at all, In reality if you were shot in the chest by a sniper you would most likely die. It all depends on the round itself, i'm guessing the round out of the sniper in C2 wouldnt be anything small. So yes one shot to the chest would resolve in a kill

If they have speed activated or just used energy to perform some strength action, then their energy may be too low for armor mode to effectively stop a chest shot. 100% armor + 100% health is not a OHK.

what do you guys mean by realistically? you're shooting someone with a nanosuit.

I don't know if you saw the Be Strong trailer but a 200mm round from a tank cannon is resisted by the Nanosuit 2. So what do you expect these sniper rifles to be capable of?

I think it's actually a bullet shot from a rifle, in the trailer.
Crytek mixed together all kinds of different footage. In-game, I'm sure the tank would be completely unrelated.
Also, when that tank shot it didn't look like it was part of the same cut scene as the player getting hit.
Furthermore, once the projectile got close to the player it seemed to be the size of a normal bullet.

OMG, what is up with all the people saying a sniper round would kill a person in real life?
First it is a game where balance comes before realism.
Second he uses a nanosuit with special Nanomachines that creates a better armored effect.
It will not be cool to have a 1 shot kill to the chest. I know alot of people like it, but it is almost certain that it is people intending to use sniper rifle, so they get a overpowered weapon. I would also like only my rifle to kill everybody in 1 shot, but it is not fair.
Also it is a semi atuomatic sniper, so i would actually think 3 shots would be more fair.
