Remeber those "phantom unlocks" when everyone got 2 free. They were for the new weapons. Install the patch and you'll get them.

I love the arguement that there should be one shot kills, because there are one shot kills in real life, lol.  If you're looking for realism go play americas army! This is BF2 ppl! The same game in which you carry a parachute everywhere you go.  You can take a bullet to the face and still have enough health left to take the shooter down if you're good.  You can jump off a two story building, pick up a medic pack and rejoin the battle.  Somthing tells me that the designers of this game didnt exactly have realism in mind when they designed it lol.

Im gonna sound real stupid here, but I don't know what your talking about when you say "phantom unlocks". If it has to so with SF, then I really don't know what your talking about cause I don't have SF.

Only if you have the SF xpack anyways.  When SF was originally released, there were new unlocks for every kit except for sniper and AT.  So now EA has added those unlocks for the SF ppl.

Yeah i just assumed he read the 18000000 posts about the free unlocks. There were so many they were hard to be avoided. Since SF didn't come out with all the guns and you need to be a certain rank before you got addition unlocks 2 free unlocks were given.

Where are the people who called me a liar now?  Chest shots do indeed do 100 damage, which kill unarmored kits.

so are bombs, artillery, tank shells, etc. you've missed the point. with all the weapons you mention, the attacker has to be in the vicinity of the victim, and thanks to the smoke trails (if you're on medium settings and higher )and low speed, you can tell where the attack is coming from and avoid it. if the sniper can one-shot-kill from half the map away, with no indication of where they are, then this unbalances the game. people would be afraid to venture into half the map. everyone will go sniper and lay around, as per the "awp round" in cs when the cash is sufficient...

My suggestion...  anything but a "limb" by the M95 barret, possibly the other guns should be a one hit kill...On the other hand, the M95 barret being a .50 calibebr weapon should only be able to be effectively shot while prone. The sniper should take damage if shot while standing up due to the knockback.
Realistically the Barrett M95 can be shot while standing up with no problems except for the lack of accuracy.

Wow stop whining you little bitchs because after 6 hours of playing with the L96 I can tell you it doesnt one hit kill in the chest for unarmored targets.  If that was the case medics wouldn't be running around corners to heal themselves after i heart-shot them.  I wasnt able to ones shot kill to the chest anybody today that was at full health (Yea a had a vantage point on an enemy spawn, call me spawnraper)

I tested this like all day long and yes this gun is easier to shoot than the M24, the cosshairs are smaller. 

I also think they improved the accuracy as in if you aim at the enemies head you actually hit it.  Before you aimed on the head and still got body shots once in a awhile due to the slight amount of bullet deviation in these rifles.  Or maybe its just the thinner croshair making it able to line up better headshots.

So case closed, stop wasting bandwith crying about some rumor!  Better yet go test it yourself!

its does do one shot kills but not always
i was on my one clan's server's earlier with 5 mates waiting for people to join to start the round
so as we always do have a mess around till the game starts killing each other & shit
i had the new rifle & i had 2 of the guys running towards me trying to pistol whoop me
so i blasted them in the chest from about 40-50m away 1. 2.  both dead


the M95 is still far to underpowered though, the M95 is anti material weapon meaning that it can penetrate some nasty shit like disable the engine block on a car in one shot
& if you got shot with body armor you'll have an exit wound the size of a grapefruit
but noooo need 2 hits

I think it's just now with the new patch,everybody uses the new sniper or the improved AA at the moment.

Give it a few weeks and the people who really wanna play sniper(like me,I guess 98% of my playing time in BF1942 was as sniper) will keep on sniping and the rest will go back to their assaultrifles.

I think the sniper rifles are just fine now,the accuracy is ok now and the disappearing bullet effect on short range doesn't happen anymore.

Can't say anything about chestshots,haven't noticed that yet,I aim always for the head anyway...

The new sniper rifle is identical to the M24, except it looks different and reloads 1 second faster.  It does 95 damage of exactly the same type as the M24, which will not kill without a headshot.

This has been a public service announcement, thank you for reading.

I picked this rifle up from an enemy I killed last night. The scope looks a little cooler but I was impressed with the sound it makes when it is fired. It actually sounded like a high-powered rifle, it has this awesome trail off effect like an echo off in the distance.

I only got to take 3 shots with it before I was killed by an arty strike.

In the beta, like all sniper rifles, they were one hit kills in the chest, in the released version this is not so, I think all you people hitting them in the chest already have been damaged.

So no, it is impossible to kill a 100% health player in one shot.

If you don't hit the head ofcourse and with the new sniper it's quite easy.

Never ever have I seen a sniper taking a goldmedal at Karkand. I play alot 24/7-Karkand. Now, with this new patch and a one shot kill to the chest they can? Not that I care, I never play sniper unless Iam the commander...

Today I was playing Mastuur City and I had the M24 rifle, I was strafing right whilst zoomed in on the gunner of the BH which was moving to my left.

BOOM HEAD SHOT.

I'm just glad they fixed the accuracy, it was a pain in the ass to have to aim above the head and have the bullet drop like it weighs 200 pounds.

I hate it. In 1.12, I felt good about being able to make long distance shots, and now every Joe and his brother can fuck people up at 400m... You barely have to lead a moving target anymore. On Mashtuur, a BH was circling the Hotel flag with a full load and my sniper buddy and I took out everyone except for the pilot. It's way too easy now.
