When im sniping and shoot at a guy not even moving, the first 2 shots never hit the guy. WTF? A sniper riffle, a non moving target, and misses? Anyone else experience this? I must be one big idiot, because if I aim at the guys head I NEVER get a hit....


I loved sniping in 1.4, almost all my shots were hits. Now its just ****.

i must say i sometimes get the feeling too, that i hit nothing but the only kit i never get that feeling with is the sniper kit. if you're sure you shoot dead on target but you still miss every fisrt 2 shots, there is something seriously wrong and i have never in the history of bugfield 2 heard about that.

I have done a lot of sniping and no difference between 1.42 and 1.5 in bullet drop, accuracy or anything else to do with sniping.

I think you have other issues with the programme or even your computer set-up???

Try deleting your cache files and if that doesn't work then consider a reinstall of BF2???

Well its all over the place really, sometimes its a shot and kill other times its 3 shots to even get a hit.... From how I sniped in 1.4 and the fact the guy isnt even moving I dont see how its possible to miss? Most times the shots are not even that far, so there shouldnt be much deviation. I was playing tonight karkand, couldnt get a hit to save my life. Then I played on the mashtuur map and was picking guys off left and right. Is there something with the map may be messing with my shots?

To be honest, it could be any number of things.

From high ping, to server lag, and from a defective memory card to a graphics card that is struggling, and from too many files in cache to someone else on your broadband connection downloading big files.

Not easy to pinpoint the problem, but do what you can to clean up and check your own computer and then see if that helps - just a suggestion, mate!

Well I reinstalled everything defraged and all.

1.5 ruined this game, all is it now is like Counter strike everyone just runs around now shooting all over the place, everyone rapes with garnades. A person laying in wait for a guy is at a disadvantage because aparently, a guy jumping around a corner has better aim then the guy laying in wait....... I didnt think they could make the game worse than 1.4. Maybe 1.5 is better for the armor and jets but infantry just bites now. I can pluse the PKM at a group of 3 or 4 people and maybe get 5 hits with no kills. The whole time their throwing nades at me killin me in one nade.... (I played a round on 1.41 tonight also and had no issues with a fair gun fight)



Anyone explain to me how a guy with a PKM going prone can kill me in 3 shots (me full health g36c from 10 feet away crouched, and there never was a delay in their shots)


Now im just ranting, Im so pissed off at this game now. AND WHAT THE HELL DOES IT TAKE TO GET A KILL DAMAGE IN 1.5 i have had times with three hits on a guy someone else finishes him and I get nothing, other times I have one hit on him and I get damage points...

here you are wrong. since you are waiting proned, your croshair is at his smaltest position, therefor the best chance to hit the bullets you fire. the enemy that comes around the corner is in the worst position as he should not be able to hit as well as you in such short notice. on the otherhand, in an other topic, i've writin something about me being in a similar situation where i thought i had the upperhand cause i was waiting crouched, saw him comming casue he was spotted, opend fire at his as soon as he came around the corner, i was hitting him from the beginning straight in the chest upon the point where i thought; "i have him" when all of the suden he fires back and in a split second i see a flash and i'm instakilled.
i get disapointed to sometimes when such stuff happens but i learned to live with it.
sometimes i get frustrated an type to all: "this is still 1.5 right, that shouldn't be possible" or something just to get my frustrations out (no hackusations for the record cause that's lame)
maybe from his point of view, he was hitting me for a longer time but it came across otherwise from my point of view becasue of the pingdifference, i don't know. it is very likely that there is an explaination for it casue i never ran by someone fireing, and killing him in a split secon,d

The grenade spam has been there all along. Bear with it. I personnally hardly manage to. Even worse is when I engage someone with my rifle at mid-range and the enemy just throws a grenade. No sense of chivalry whatsoever.
Yes, sometimes the guy goes prone and instakills you, I guess it's just some damn luck. Also, the G36C needs way too many bullets to kill a full health guy (unless you hit in the head)
As for kill damage, I think it depends on how much damage you have inflicted : 3 92FS shots would probably not count as an assist while a single M24 shot would because 1 M24 > 3 92FS in terms of damage. Also, if the guy grabs a medpack between the time you shot him and he got killed, you'll get nothing.

D-feat > On the contrary, I think the proned guy waiting around a corner is at a disadvantage because even though he has the best accuracy, he also is the one most exposed because he can barely move so the guy can just run/jump around him while spraying fire on the ground or just strafe-fire from behind the corner. Although you can pick off several people if they aren't aware of your presence and just run by without paying attention to you, if they turn the corner facing you, therefore noticing you, they'll definitely start run-jumping. This is why, when I lurk around a corner, I wait several feet behind (like 5-10m) so that even if they go bunny style, I won't have to move my crosshair much. And I'll also avoid grenades dropped at the corner.

That's BF2 for you mate!!

I would recommend reinstalling the game. I do it every now and again, but just makes sure you save a copy of the patches and if you have changed your localisation file make sure you save a copy of that too!!



Always aim for the head (where ever possible of course!)!!!! You are more than likely to take a person out with a pistol aiming at someones head than just random firing a PKM at someone.

Well.. yes that's happened me pretty many times and it surely is annyoning, but I find more annyoning that you hit the target in head but all you see is just dust and then the target shoots you and then I kinda get pissed off.. this is also happened me (twice in a row) *() I used G-trans. for that so I'm not sure is it a correct word.

1.5 hasn't ruined sniping at all. It's all on your end.
PKM is honestly just too accurate. I can run around and crouch shot people from rediculous range or in close range.

if you have the cross hairs on his head & he's not moving it could be one of these problems,
you hitting right at the top of the helmet were there's no hit box (just dust) see the hints & tips for silentbullets damage report,

or when pressing the mouse button try not to hit it hard you might be knocking your aim off other than that ping issue
my 2 pennieth

This happens to me very often, i see dust coming from head and i've had times when i headshot 3 times a guy and he sprays ak101 on me and kills me, but thats bf2
