i just gave a look to ambush2244 topic and i must say that i agree with him, there are many problems with the sniper class making it an " unplayable class".

First NO MAP was designed considering snipers. ALL MAPS are made for "Sprinters" as i like to call them.
As a result if you want to snipe, you will only kill one or two persons then you will be killed in the back by these same players who only have to go through the map, then jump and grab some ledge to get behing a sniper.

The reason? well it's simple: no matter where you will be sniping, it will only take 10 to 15 seconds for your opponent to go through the map then come behind you and kill you after respawning.
Oh! please dont tell me there is the Alarm option....it's useless: you can't snipe someone who is too close from you (can't even use the sniper riffle "On the shoulder" without scoping since there is no "on the shoulder" HUD target/crosshair for snipers...which makes it impossible to kill someone without aiming through the scope...)
One of the problems is that going to snipers locations (which are really poor in number by the way) takes very little time.
Cryteck guys should really play sniping in METAL GEAR ONLINE. REALLY.
(in that game if you want to go and kill a sniper in the back, it is a long and dangerous thing: most sniper are located in places that are very high -2nd or 3rd floor- with many possible possible ambushs -either with other players or with the sniper traps as mines etc etc)

Last but not least: excepted with the Majestic gun, do not expect killing anyone with the other small guns.
I played over 48h on that game and killed perhaps 6 (!!!!!!!!!) persons with the standard guns.
SERIOUSLY, what is the purpose in putting such useless pistols in a war game???
Till i unlocked the Majestic gun, i didn't even kept trying to kill someone who was coming in my back since as i played as a sniper. In 99 percents of the cases, i would die cause the pistols are simply USELESS.
It even happened to me to use 2 chargers of bullets of the standard guns without successfully killing the other player (who didn't notice i was there by the way).

I really hope cryteck will deliver us new map packs with REAL MAPS.

PLEASE CRYTECK, PLAY METAL GEAR ONLINE AND LEARN WHAT IS A MAP DESIGNED FOR SNIPERS AND ALL OTHER CLASS OF PLAYERS.
(see Midtown maelstrom map, Grosniij Grad map, Urban ultimatum map, etc etc)
Non-sniper players in Crysis 2 only have to make one jump and grab the ledge of a balcony to get on the last floor and kill snipers who are harmless compared to the others with their Scars and Scarabs riffles.

If it is true that Crysis 2 has the best graphics i have ever seen, it is also true that Crysis 2 ISN'T the best multiplayer game i have ever played. MGO still stands as the reference to me.

Sorry Cryteck but i cant recommand your game to snipers.

over 2.5k kills with DSG-1 and Gauss combined - sniping is AMAZINGLY ballanced on this game for once!
Please learn to aim for the head

Lighthouse isnt a sniper map?
Liberty Island isnt a sniper map?
Statue isnt a sniper map?

Wow, youre just bad. Its even easy to snipe on Skyline, Downed Bird, Evac Zone and.. ok yeah youre just bad.

One of my mates is an amazing sniper, can often go 10-1 etc. Maybe you just need to learn to play?

sniping is AMAZINGLY ballanced
Agreed.
Sniping is really hard in this game and that's why most of the people complain about sniping.

Learn to snipe.

"Please learn to aim for the head"
listen kid, keep your blabla for yourself. i know what i am saying. i am not talking about "sniping" itself but about "snipers locations" and snipers poor power with the pistols they have as secondary weapons.
I know how to do headshots. It even happened to me to exterminate a whole 8 players team in less than 10 seconds in "one life match"....so STFU.

PIRATE MULTIPLAYER STILL WORKS!!! *INSTRUCTIONS*

The patch knows when you used a cracked .exe or not, if you use a cracked .exe then it won't detect your game, so you need to use the original Crysis2.exe


What you need to do to get the game running on patch V1.2 + multiplayer:

1: If you haven't backupped the original .exe of V1.1 patch, then you need to put the original Crysis2.exe of V1.0 in your directory.
2: Patch the game to V1.1 again for original V1.1 Crysis2.exe
3: Run the game to patch it to version V1.2
4: Apply the multiplayer crack for V1.1
5: Run the game and be happy, it all still works, except I don't see other players chat when playing a match, for the rest it all works.

Enjoy!
as i described before this is a fail youre not playing on patch v1.2 ... youre still playing patch 1.1 so fail pirate is a fail YARRRR

sniping isn't hard. it's not easy. but it's not hard either.


it's just that someone who understands the game can pick out snipers pretty easily. the powers of the Nanosuit ensure that classic "sniper owns all" (i am a very owning sniper on BF2), doesn't work. because you can cloak. because you can run. because you can jump and grab ledges.

if a sniper is sitting on some roof, you can cloak, jump up and kill him. with ease. no special access ladders or railings or staircases needed. just run and jump, and you grab a ledge and you're one storey up.

Sniping is very much worth the effort. Lighthouse is an excellent sniping map, and Crash Site is an excellent sniping game mode. but the problem is, the amount of snipers in order to make it effective is very low. in fact, the effective number is about 2. runners are much more effective. but the game only works when there is a good mix of all gamer types

You're a hopeless troll. Sniping's just fine - this guy has tons of videos of him beasting on even the smallest map(s) with a sniper rifle:

Lighthouse isnt a sniper map?
Liberty Island isnt a sniper map?
Statue isnt a sniper map?
Don't forget City hall.

Snipers can be a real pain in the ass (and that means they are very useful in harassing/killing) in objective modes like Capture the Relay and Crash Site.

Snipers are balanced, aside from the issue that all weapons face of 'Scar beats everything'

"... and snipers poor power with the pistols they have as secondary weapons.
...

But sir, the nova is quite good.

I have gotten 30-0 with the starting sniper rifle with a scope and silencer without moving for the whole game...

YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID but seriously its balanced

LOVOAL PPLACES IN VISULAIZ!

Maybe u had play a 1v1 vs some newby noob, cmon be real.

Scar is almost like a sniper rifle (ridiculusl) and i agree there is no good map to be sniper in all just 2 or 3 point to have a good shot position, all knows so u need to walk very fast after kill coz a good player know the map and identify u from the kill cam where u have shot and came directly to u.

When i snipe i use that module to bring two primary weapons so use silecend scar and silenced sniper rifle.

GOOD! i hate snipers go play counter strike

sniping is the BEST in this game

also your saying the locations and backup weapons are bad. YOU'RE **** WRONG!

it's not the problem of the spots and weapons, you have a **** nanosuit you are the weapon.

seriously crytek almost killed us with that slogan. learn to use the weapon and addapt to your suroundings that's the whole point of the game.

bla bla bla bla bla bla

Dude use cloak and energy transfer....... Use 2 main weapons, sow you can pick a sniper and a normal gun and even a pistol or uzi or bazooka or whatever.......

Sniping is not that hard just use the right stuff and tactics, also a little teamwork is needed. But thats in every game.

Ok sniping from level 1 is a bad thing, but after level 15 maybe it gets better.

please play bad company 2 then, i think sniping is ok at this game

No problem with sniping here. L2P issue.

I hate snipers !

Dude...I LOVE what Crytech have done here, and clearly your too retarded to see that they have taken measures to prevent campers or people from exploiting the Nano suit. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to play a game like Crysis the way you suggest? Dude a skilled sniper does not need a sniping spot, you have a Nano suite too...get off you ass and use it. Move around the map. Hope nuubs own you for being a useless talentless camper.

Yay. One less camper!
