Idea: Sniper rifle for Sharpshooter

[CandleJack]

Omg, you totally stole my idea Candlejack!!! Admit it!!!! I was the first one who came to the conclusion that the L115A3 was the best, hands down.

Oh, i'm sorry; i seemed to have forgotten you posted that.

I just googled "sniper rifles in British army" and that was the first thing to come up.

i think u rong no offense ment.. but i prefer more sniper rifle than eny stupid xbow DD no offence.. remove xbow and add scope rifles called sniper rifles i bet eny one would like em more

The sharpshooter is finally reaching some balance with the beta, and I don't think it needs a sniper. I mean, yoyobatty's sniper in wtfmod was amazing fun, but rather unbalanced. So please, give a reason other than 'realism', which I don't really get (your fighting a giant mutant with a chest dick a chaingun, and a googly eye, and you're asking for realism here?), and 'come on'.

However, if you would care to give an argument for why it would fit into the already existing system perfectly, not disrupt balancing, and make the game overall better, then I'm all ears.

ther could be two difrent kinds snipers...

bolt action and semiautomatick.

balancing would be like this.

Boltaction : big damage, slow fire rate, good range, small clip
^
weapon that i think would be best to BA : l96a1

Semiautomatick : smaller damage, faster firerate, same range as BA , bigger clip.
^
weapon that i think would be good : psg-1

and reason why to add sniper rifles is simple. but long D look ewery time u shoot in KF it feels like u are hurting some one it is realistik to shoot in kf i prefer sniper rifle loud bang sound than xbow fiuu and 3 ded that aint fun big loud BANG.s and peapole flying around thats funny it makes u wanna shoot again... so i HOPE i have convinced U to bee all ears thank u

ps:sry my english DD from finland...

What I find sad about the sharpshooter class is the fact that the only true long-range weapon it has is the xbow, and nothing else. The LAR is good for medium distance combat and the M14 is good for short/medium combat. All other pistols are good for short distance and dual-wielding them completely throws off accuracy.

My idea of a sniper rifle, if ever implemented, would be the Macmillian Tac 50. A bolt-action, magazine-fed, .50 caliber rifle that has more punch than the Xbow but less ammo, longer reload time per shot, heavier, and more expensive.

>< Damn thread necro's. Go look in the modding forum. There are two sniper rifles, and one is even whitlisted. Braindead's Hunting Rifle and Ivan & Jack Carver's M99.

I meant as in an official weapon addition, not another mod. Plus, it wasn't me who necroed the thread.

Pohohohoho.

Ok my bad, missed the post before yours but my point still stands.

Whitelisted means you can use it with perks so it might as well be official.

And Brain Dead's scoped mag fed bolt action rifle is whitelisted, very nicely made. Go play with it. Lots of servers might have it. At least no reason not to.

 

[Islidox]

It would be nice if it was an official addition to the game. To be honest, I've never been on a server that featured custom weapons, no lie. And if I ever do, I'll be sure to enjoy the experience.

Sharpshooter already has a sniper rifle. It's called "The Crossbow".

 

[~ravage~]

This has been suggested to death. I'm not really a Sharpshooter fan, but the Crossbow does a good job of filling in the "long-range" role.

 

[ro_sauce]

there are a few out there, you just have to keep your eyes open.

i was thinking about making a remington 700, and when you put the safety on, or off, it shoots you in the foot, also will shoot a finger off each time you chamber a round.

lol,

It should be said that I'm not laughing so much at your joke but more so at my lack of understanding of said joke. I assume the gun in question is as much a danger to the shooter as his target?

Moist-Nagant

Moist-Nagant

The obvious answer is a Mosin-Nagant. With or without a scope.
Obviously if the Sharpshooter is going to get a new weapon, it would have to be higher tier. Something alternative and long-range to the Crossbow. Something to take on the same role. Some people, me included, aren't fans of Crossbows. They lack the punch and kick of the rest of the weapons in the game. And besides that, you're shooting bolts. Not the most exciting weapon.

tl;dr
A high tier bolt-action Mosin-Nagant to give an alternative choice to the Crossbow.

Why??

Why??

A scope for the Lever Action Rifle it would be the best (purchased separately).


Why so many rifles?? you're going to ruin this game.

Me and my friends have been talking about "modding your weapon option", like for sharpshooter adding scopes to the LaR and the M14. I like sniping in games and I was a little angry that the only new weapon that sharpshooter got was a .44 magnum. I've been wanting a revolver for a long time but I was hoping for a new rifle or something. And I dont think they're gonna ruin the game, add even more weapons for all perks, because I feel its getting repetitive with the same sharpshooting weapons. So I would welcome something that spiced things up a bit either new weapons or a modding option.

 

[Teraku]

Well, BrainDead has a Hunting Rifle. That would be perfect for sharpshooter if it was more like the No One Lives Forever 2 sniper. 7 bullets per mag, no need to re-cock the weapon after firing the last shot, and a scope which isn't off by a few millimeters.
