Public Starhawk BETA

[Fatal-Aim]

Odumom, I really don't think you ever shot at a moving, fleeing target before. Its a lot harder than a target that is near you and esspecially setting still. Burst fire is not enough when the accuracy of the gun increases rapidly while the actual round does practically no damge to the target. I know becuase I tried it. This is why I gave the example earlier about the flag carrier. He was just out of range for me to hit him with a gernade, but he was close enough that I could clearly see him in my cross sight with the flag. It had to be 20 to 30 feet. I unloaded 1½ clips at him in burst fire. Yet, the rounds did no damage what so ever as he continued running further out of sight.

and wen does it take 2 shoots to kill from a sniper riffle i guess head shoots for me than this year. its stupid im good with the sniper but this sniper gun suks the purple thing is horrible the aim is awful the scope you look tru is foking awfull some pointlesss displays on the screen for wat reason im not sure its rectangle as well stupid runined the sniper gun  no zoom close or far just really really close

If your as good as you think you are then you will be able to adapt your sniping technique to over come the rifles problems....

for you to camp as you say it reqires skill 1 to find a good spot 2 to not get spoted 3 you can always hide in the big obvious sniper towers they give you to build im sure no one will find you in their not...... campiang as you say well this aint cod were you can quick scoope running wit ur sniper and killing guys snipers camp thats wat you do as a sniper.  you lay low find your target and take him out.

This also is'nt WH where you could run around to your hearts content with the sniper rifle no-scoping with the white dot.....

Snipers DONT CAMP!!!!!!!!

They move in (The Stalk)

They fire one maybe two rounds & move out...

to shoot a moveing target with out the red light is hard enough but with the red light its just sucks they always seee it and just start jumping up and down watever as a sniper is fustrating to hve a target and wen you ready to shoot them the red light gives it all away  as you say chhep kills i think it takes skill to be a good sniper.

As I said adapt your technique....

Make sure you have cover to the front then fire at oblique angles....

Bring the rifle into aim from behind then so there not seeing it from the front....

overpowerness has nothing to do with it if you crapp at snipeing you crapp simple you aint shooting nothing it takes skill to hit a moveing target with 1 shoot 

if you are defending your base wat are you doing i hate this word camping wen you under attack you defendeing not camping

Agree'd having a one hit kill sniper. . . who can sit undetected in the distance would be even worse than BFBC2.

Two hits. . .laser scope. Very fair. Forces the sniper to pick his shots carefully and move along!

so basicaly you telling me to foking zoom my sniper behind a rock and than step out take my shooot haaaaaaaaaaaa that is so pointless wat you want me to zooom on to a rock and than step out and shoot

face it sniper is a fail rifle strength is a fail needs to be sorted out i tell you wat wen you playing and you see a bunch of guys doing a lazer show you will see how stupid it is whos idea was it to put a circle with no cross hair for the weapon that sucks 

let me tell you why their is a red light on it because some of us who has been playing warhawk since 07 are dammm good at it takeing you out from distance some were in light box is a cry baby who cant take the skill it takes to sniper someone and the best part is they dont even know were wat how it came from SNIPER thats what they do 1 shoot you dont know nothing it complety against the whole idea of a sniper just a fancy gun bring back my warhawk sniper with my little dot why change something that aint broken

they changed stuff that did not need changeing maybe new gun new look but to complety kill something that made warhawk the game it is so stupid the weapons to bring them up is so slow and not good it was fine in warhawk why the hell they changed it for same as the hawks so slow to select guns and stuff

[KADAFI316]

but aftr playing some more i see wat they trying to do incourage team play the riffle is week yes but wen i was playing with 2 3 guys 2 3 riffles v 1 or 2 enemy is a damm lot better than 1 i guess i must get use to it starting to like it play as  team play together its much more fun to fight this way stop buillding bases take 2 jeeps full of guys to their base and build their bring the war to them.

i started playing this way and not my chuck noris selff its much better to fight together i think this is the idea behind starhawk thanks just need more time to play cant wait for my freinds in warhawk to play together can give em a few tips i ahve gained in the beta thanks guys

sniper doesnt need any change, in warhawk it was 10x harder to snipe, this one is easier

No I dont!!!!

As we have a damn beam highlighting us up you adapt your technique...

Gone are the WH days where you could zoom in & out as much as you wanted without penalty...

As I said use cover to the front so you  cant be engaged that way & fire at an angle ......

Bring the weapon into aim behind the target so the beam is'nt flashing across there front so there less aware there being targeted

face it sniper is a fail rifle strength is a fail needs to be sorted out i tell you wat wen you playing and you see a bunch of guys doing a lazer show you will see how stupid it is whos idea was it to put a circle with no cross hair for the weapon that sucks 

To stop no-scoping.....

There you go KADAFI316 you just answered your own complaint!!!!!!

The "little dot"!!!! when you had WH players bragging they used it more as a no-scope because it had the "little dot" when it was out of scope now they have changed it & no more will you get cheap easy kills while using it as a one shot assault rifle....

they changed stuff that did not need changeing maybe new gun new look but to complety kill something that made warhawk the game it is so stupid the weapons to bring them up is so slow and not good it was fine in warhawk why the hell they changed it for same as the hawks so slow to select guns and stuff

WH made us all round players by forcing us to use all our equipment gain ribbons/badges/medals so we could advance up the rank ladder..

Look at the Sniper rifle as a challenge set by LB to make you a better ....

[SUGGESTION]

Make R3 pull out/sheath knife and use R1 to swing it.

This will fix one of the major issues with the game.

[SUGGESTION]

Hi! Can't undersdand why in the weapon's mapping the sniper rifle is on the right and the normal one is on the left...i find way more confortable to have the two weapons in inverted positions: right for rifle and left for sniping. This is a minor complain, i know...maybe I only have to get use to it. In critical situations I tend to press right arrow to equip the rifle, but is the wrong key! Could be some warhawk memories? I should check...

Anyway, sorry for my bad english.

SUGGESTION

I also agree that the knife should not be a prompted weapon. People with jetpacks often come straight at you with a shotgun and if they fail, the knife becomes a last resort insta kill. It should be one or the other, not both. Swap the knife with the repair tool or something.
