Why is it that you can sniper better with the scar and not a sniper rifle? I get killed from across the efing map by a scar more times than an efing sniper. Idk if it's your crappy servers or what but that m2014 gaus sniper rifle isn't as powerful as yal make it. I have to shoot someone 2 or 3 times to kill them. I have to kill people with the dsg1 sniper that exact amout of times and it's damge is way less. Doesn't make sense to me at all.

You still using DSG-1
2014OHOHO Tasteless

I went from sniper rifle to scar, but i love it alot more happens and tbh i think killcam is the biggest downer for snipers.
You cant really sit and cover your team from somewhere cause as soon as you killed 1, 10 sec later that guy is at your back with a knife

No I'm using the m2014 gaus now but so far it's useless but I'm sure it's because this efing lag going on.

You do have a good point. But my point is I'm getting snipped more with the scar than a sniper rifle which is BS

I shot a guy in the back with the m2014 three times tonight and didn't kill him. He spins around and kills me with 2 bullets from the Scar from across the map....yeah. Something wrong there.

Exactly my point that's what happened to me today. They need to fix this crap.

I'm still lvl 14 and haven't unlocked the gauss, but I can tell that the SCAR is like a laser beam.

It also doesn't help that when you shoot the damn thing it leaves a gigantic smoke trail pointing to your exact location, too.

Ya man, if they're going to show them exactly where I'm at, they could have at least made the gun a one hitter quiter for goodness sakes.

If you're getting 'sniped' with the SCAR you need to learn a little thing called 'evasion'. Across the map the tiniest movement by you should make bullets miss - let alone you running the hell away or jumping off the building.

Also, why not cloak? If you're not shooting out of cloak you should have energy left to simply cloak up and disappear. At that distance you'll be very hard to spot and nanovision won't work. You can just cloak and move - problem solved.

dsg is shooting nerf darts. all sniper match. most kills were melee.

Except for the tiniest movement doesn't make the bullets miss. It seems like when you're killed by the Scar your hit box is as big as a house, but when you're using a sniper, or practically any other gun your targets hit box is tiny in comparison.

Also cloaking and hiding doesn't change the fact that the Gauss is underpowered, or rather, it's not doing the damage it should and/or ignoring armor like it should.

Not true, if you pay attention to sounds in game, almost no one will get behind you. I'm finding sniping in Lighthouse map very interesting, because when you get other players attention they run like crazy to your location in building across the map. And just by listening to footsteps and watching the map i can kill 90% of ppl who want kill me Sometimes killing players who want backstab me give me more frags than sniping Even talking via headset during game can cost you some frags because you will lose concentration and/or miss some sounds and you will get owned, same goes for listening to music and or playing without sound.

You don't actually hit him if he doesn't die. Don't trust the ping display, I get high latency games @ 50 ping and normal games at 750+...

Wut? where are you sniping from that you're so easy to hit? And why are you shooting at people who shoot back?

Snipers aren't fighters, they are supposed to take pot shots and piss everybody off. If you're not doing that, then you'd be better off with the SCAR/Grendel

I agree, it looks like the scar is the most acurate of all guns, plus it just tears into people, you've got a better chanse to pull of long range kills with the Scar than a single shot grendel or even a bloody sniper rifle.
need rebalance

As a SCAR user, I actually think the weapon could do with a little more recoil while firing full auto. Not so much as to completely change the gameplay, but enough that burst firing becomes necessary to kill people at range. This would balance it out against the SCARAB and the Feline, which have no recoil at all, but less damage; as well as giving people a chance to escape at range, where they shouldn't be getting hit by someone simply holding down the trigger on a weapon that does 30dmg per bullet.

maybe hit box does not properly adjust to the distance. this is why some people by the off chance are able to head shot you with little effort bullets etc.

ive killed people in melee distance only for them to head shot me from other side of map once they have re:spawned.

lag anyone ?

Dude you are missing the whole why don't you reread the topic. And I am moving around and being cloaked and all that crap and get sniped by a scar. No there's no problem solved retard

my bad this post is for Mickey bich who is obviously a scar sniper who is retarded.

SCAR is OP period! (Low recoil, decent damage and you can snipe with it) It’s the go to gun unless you are playing around with a Shotgun or a heavy.
DSG is way under powered, especially since there are only two sniper rifles and the next one is level 39!

Well don't get to excited about reaching 39 because the gaus doesn't do the damage it's suppose to. It's pretty much garbage at this point

As evidenced by this thread and others. Most of the guns under perform compared to the Scar. If you played BC2 you could compare it to the pre-nerf m60 in that game. People using it in ways it shouldn't be able to be used in.

You're obviously not very good at it then. Not being funny, but if you weren't hanging around in the same area anf generally being a poor player this wouldn't be an issue for you.

And I'm the bich? I'm a retard? You're the SNIPER who is getting involved in gunfights with an assault rifle!

..And really, trying to judge my playstyle without ever having played with me is just you clutching at straws for something to say. You know you're a bad player and it hurts, doesn't it?

See guys I told you he was a scar sniper who can't use a sniper and has to use a scar for snipping. Why is that? Is it because the snipers blow? Lmao your style of playing? What camping with a scar is your style? Lmao you think I svck and your camping with a scar ha ha. You have no skill if your just going to camp with a scar you worthless piece of crap. Snipers are suppose to camp and pick people off. Not an assault rifle you retard. Your obviously a camper who has no skill.
