So obviously there is a new railgun/sniper hack/glitch/whatever...

(hozz) #1

… because everyone and their mom suddenly started running around being railgun gods, one-shotting multiple people in short succession even in close range combat, and the perceived number of snipers/railgunners has increased sharply (hard to get someone to go the class for radar vs. 3+ snipers in every game being in the top spots). This started no more than 2 weeks ago quite abruptly.

Am I right? I can no longer believe in coincidence with this sudden change of sniper behaviour (aka accuracy).

What actually disappoints me is that players are among those people who I thought were respectable and above this :rolleyes:

Can anybody confirm/tell me what happened?

the sniper-issue has been there…suddenly…even before PB was gone, I’d noticed it as well…all this wtf situations that have never been there before …lol
I don’t know where all this 1-shot-kills @120HP suddenly came from, but what I know is, this game has never been a sniper game for over 3? years…
Nowadays U get owned by someone sitting at the end of the map with just one shot… totally anti-ET-and RtCW :wink:
Maybe it’s due to better hardware some people have now or something else … I don’t know/care

The game was way better when the old folks and known players from RtCW/ET played this …all this 1vs.1 situations with just 2 HP left at the end… awesomeness … miss it … now it’s just lag / freeze / and 0 too 80 HP or so in one vs. 1 situations …sucks and noskill situations most of the time :smiley:

It’s still fun from time to time …but things have changed completely, I agree

game is old… and skill has been redefined.

Ahh you mean those who left within the first weeks?

Well i have to concur, the first few weeks of the beta were awesome. I have never ever done a 12-kill hammer after that.

If anyone would actually upload a demo and let other people investigate… So far this thread sounds like a cry that snipers are OP.

Since I have nothing to do, I may record a demo and upload it. However, I think some people think I used this so called “new railgun/sniper hack glitch”. :smiley:

Not sure this has anything to do with the playerbase…

(rUBBEN) #8

Well, it may just be because people start to have a brain after 5 years of playing the same campaigns on the same server with the same people ?

i have been playing cover ops lately. not because i got smart. its to get all medals in the panel. but will take more time than expected.

(Dthy) #10

Wait, people still play for stats? I thought this was 2012 not 2008.

(Rex) #11

Stupid people never die out, not even in 2012…

(Celebrian) #12

Recently even saw a player who jumped in spectators before loss. In doubt also checked the calendar 0_o

(.N.E.R.D.) #13

… NIIIICE, but total understandable. As we all know XP stands for Xtra Powaaaaaaaaaaaaa :slight_smile:

(Ashog) #14

in next game they should rename it to PD…

(rUBBEN) #15

PD means homosexual in french btw

(Ashog) #16

then even more so :smiley:

(light_sh4v0r) #17

lol, I agree that makes the term even more appropriate :smiley:

The only glitch is that you can skip the reload time (increase rof) which make those rifle very powerfull in close combat.
This glitch was also present in CS:GO but it’s patched, unfortunatly this won’t happen for ETQW.

Still waiting for the evil sniper bug movie…

(rUBBEN) #20

@ Breo : What you win in speed, you lose it in accuracy (because you need to flash scope + switch weapons 2 times in a half of second + aim), it’s all about finding a good compromise between both. And tbh, without this bug, the railgun would be overskilled compared to the GDF scope.
