BF2S Forums All the PKM vs. Sniper debate...

you gotta be kidding about this thread
just because there are four times the amount of newbie snipers in the game now doesn't mean that anyone with even mediocre talents can't own somebody with a PKM 99% of the time still.

Your post made shit for sense.

There are 4 times as many support players, not 4 times as many snipers.

Yes your right, it was above the third grade. But fourth is only one grade up, you should pay more attention in school to stop being held back

More snipers and support then in any given game? So of course BF2s 1.2 patch is going to influence every other game in the world. I'm sure of it.

And what would explain the boost in snipers? Yes, the rifles were made more accurate, but that wouldn't grant an increase of 4x in a bolt action gun in a mainly medium range infrantry game. Take karkand, the most popular map, for example. Point proven.

There has been an increase in snipers, I'll give you that, but it can't touch the heels of the difference in support players.

Now get back on topic. You've stated your opinion, and poorly argued it, now stop.

again you missed my point

i think that unless i am as specific as possible about what i mean you are just going to project whatever little traits you want right onto me!
you're going off on some irrelevant tangent and trying to somehow "best me" on this forum. the only way you can possibly best me is to misinterpret my posts, which is sad, project ignorance onto them, and then try to say something condescending. almost as sad as getting into a pissing contest and then ending your shot at spraying the farthest by feigning victory and/or maturity and saying "stop" or "now get a life" or some lame shit.

let's look at this really. i'm big on clarity and when i get into a pissing contest i don't pretend that it's over when it becomes convenient to appearing victorious. so let's see who can really piss the farthest.

1. i post a direct response to this thread which is clear
2. you (for whatever pathetic little reason you did) misunderstand it, become hostile, and project ignorance onto my post
3. i point that out to you, match your condescencion and exceed it in wit, taste, and composition
4. you make a poor attempt at a rebound with flawed reasoning in a feigned attempt to seem objective and intelligent (your reasoning is irrelevant all you have to do is play the game to see that you have teams that are full of nothing but support and sniper), while of course trying to be condescending and sly but again not coming near to my level of wit and grace, then have the audacity to pretend that this whole little excersize is brought on by some neurotic behavior on my part rather than pure unadulterated stupidity and misplaced hostility on your part. what do you have to prove?

If you intend to attack my "wit," I suggest you learn to use proper grammar. You have time to type, which you gratiously took, and have edited both of your posts. It would be nice if you took the time for atleast capitilization.

I'm going to inject this and call it a night, because I asked you to stop, you didn't in an immature fashion to "win" this fight, and it's time for it to end. You might consider me "weak" for trying to end the argument, but really, what's the point? If you want to feel special, consider it a truce, or cease fire.

Sadly, the thread was already ruined.

EDIT: Trooper_Collider, some of my clanmates have been able to get the L96 even w/o spec forces. It's a euro force gun along with the P90, so you should be able to get it.

Tigris, get gold with only using the sniper rifle, it's pretty fun especially beating out the commander.

People are like..WTF?! G0LD SN1P3R?!!?!? HAX!!!

I literally got that reaction picking up a few golds as a sniper last night, and only 2 claymores. Gotta love their ability to defend a ladder.

Tip: When your climbing a ladder, go into third person (f11) and you can see claymores before they detonate.

I'd say the PKm is now better for sniping than the SVD/Type 88. However,t he long range rifles still rule. I'd like to see the PKM snipe people off the TV station from the construction site, or hit someone from the other end of an airstrip.

You do realize its only 150m from the construction site to the tv station don't you? Thats NOT a long range shot in real life. I know this is a game, but I still find what passes as "long range" humorous. If a 150m was so hard to hit in real life I never would have passed BRM (Basic Rifle Marksmanship) at basic training. Its actually not very difficult to hit a 300m target with a M16 in real life. The 150m tagerts are gimme's. I personally would like to see the accuracy of all the infantry weapons increased. The snipers should be way the heck out there (i.e. 500m+), or in really well hidden locations.

But thats just my opinion...
