M95-Sniper Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Remember this thread anybody? Some stuff in there is pretty relevant. ← Great link. I've been playing too much BF2 as of late, I guess. I hit targets running or standing at 400 meters, I hit them and they just fly through the air. Those soldiers were armour though. And 1 shot, unless it's a headshot won't kill. It takes two. It just gives that extra edge. It's a nice touchup.

desertranger12 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 DUDE! did u not watch the video, the guys were "flying" off the side of that cliff. u cant tell me that that is resputable And did you not read the text on the right that says it was actually hunters shooting vermin in America I'm no expert on weaponry but i'm sure a 50 cal weapon would have some punch on impact of a human body and probably enough to throw him backwards. I doubt it would make him fly though. One things for sure we are likely to see some flying death animations purely because they look cool. GRAW and such games are designed to be realistic but also to have an element of Hollywood in them, because that enhanced action is what the end user expects to see. ← lol!!!!!!! i swear that was not there before, seirously!

Rebar Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I wonder if scopes will: -lose zero if roughly handled? -fog up in bad weather? -lose zero/get crud on them if near an explosion? -glare if the sun hits them? -accurately reflect recoil/the difficulty in reacquiring a target? there's a reason why everyone isn't a "sniper" in an army.

Can you select different scopes. etc. Bo, please? What I also miss in most games is the Recoil with sniper rifles. Especially with firing the .50 calibers.

Stalker_Zero Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Since the GRIN staff has been so actively late on the forum how bout a response? An official response by you guys on how snipers and sniping will be part of the game will settle alot of peoples minds who are thinking of buying graw. Come on GRIN where are you?

ZJJ Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Bo has already stated that the development is too busy this week to be answering questions. Continual "prodding" will lead to post deletion, at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please give a hint or two? Cheers ← Yeah I'd like to know too, I want to compare to the real thing. M82A1A SASR? *cradles* The most important thing I want to know is if windage + gravity affect the bullet and whether or not the glass factor has been implemented (Bullet going up when going through glass, bullet dropping at water surface, etc) Edited April 4, 2006 by SpecOps.Briggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecOps.Briggs Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Also, it's not physically possible to "blow someone through the air" with a 50cal (or any gun for that matter). So, changes are... because we're sticking with realism, you wont see that either. ← Depends what you mean. The person in his/her entirety or pieces of that person. A trench shotgun is a wonderful thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSmoke Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I saw that Mythbusters as well and was going to post about it too but you beat me to it blast! But it's true, it's impossible. So everytime you see guys in movies getting blown away by shotguns, that ain't realistic, though it looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd Ranger Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 The most important thing I want to know is if windage + gravity affect the bullet I believe Bo said earlier that these effects would not be in GRAW due to the average engagement range.

Stig Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 The most important thing I want to know is if windage + gravity affect the bullet I believe Bo said earlier that these effects would not be in GRAW due to the average engagement range. ← yeah I second that, Bo definatley stated a month or more ago that they looked into it but because of the distances involved it woudn't work. I think ultmately it just would've made the game sights appear buggy & frustrating so they ditched it. I'm all for realisim but not at the cost of game play. GR1 had a good balance & I'm sure GRAW will also. Lets be honest the shooting distance would need to be huge to justify it & you'd need some kinda 3d wind-o-meter to give you an idea of direction & strength of wind nah! I'm pleased with there decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
