I see reports of people killing 250+m. On the game I can only see up to maybe 150-175m away. Gets kind of annoying at times.

What graphic settings can I turn up/down to get some better range out of my visuals?

in video check you view distance, make sure its at 100%, also recall that due to fog on some maps, thats your max view irregardless (love that word)..

goto a kubra or wake where no fog's present then try, at over ~200m dont forget to compensate slightly for drop.

Umm yea the only maps I can think of at the moment that will let you shoot over 150 is Wake/Oman/Kubra Dam/Daqiun Oilfields/theres another one I can't remember, and it depends on what kind of graphis card you got...
If you have a min
5 series
i would put every thing on high except the shawdows lighting and dynamic somthing (ormeiduim what every it can hold w/o lagging) and no AA

if you got the 6 series
i would put emm all on high, but not the AA

7 series
all of them all the way

i got a dual 7900gtx sli so there up all the way lol
^_^ its amazing so nice get emm it's worth the 459.99 bealive me!

Ah ok. I thought maybe it was due to my video settines.

BTW I'm running a 9800 pro. Yes, I need to upgrade but it's worthless to do so with my current computer. RAM is maxed at 1GB, processor sucks (2.8Ghz P4), and HD space is about to run out (less than 5GB left).

Time to build my own

Obviously view distance at 100% and fog are the two main limiters, but which rifle(s) are you using by the way? Magnification is lower for the SVD and Type 88 in case you didn't know.

Yes indeed it doesn't! I was practicing on it last night (haven't played it MP in ages) and I had totally forgotten the lovely view... <strokes M24>

I am noticing a problem on diffent maps and different servers on different nights. Some maps/servers are "dead" on and others or impossible to even get a kill on. What gives with that? Lately my accuracy with the L96A1 has gone down a few % points and I can't kill any one. It's not just me but my fellow sniper friends. We can all take a shot and the guy doesn't die...then he gets killed and we don't get any KDA's. The three of us can normally take out a full squad in 10-15 seconds. Anyone with any suggestions?????

3.2 ghz
ATI x800
3gig ram

Not the problem.

umm, is it worth it putting the viewing distance up from 90% to 100%, or will this give you massive lag???

Its all about the angle of drop.....distance wise ...other than what u currently have your setting to its just about trial an error.....try wake island spawn at south base and snipe the middle island...great for sniper pracice

yeah true. but note that they have changed the bullet drop since the new patches have come out. its almost close to nothing compared to what it used to be.

heheh.

I have the same problem, with draw distance. I think mine is set to about 80% which allows me to see roughly 400m but im only guessing there. I know i've killed at 380m so i can't be far off.
