I am by no means a spectacular sniper. However, I do greatly enjoy the art of sniping, and do find that I have a particular knack for it, even if my aim isn't perfect. I tend to find decent perches to set up shop, and when I can't snipe someone I just spot, like if they're in tanks and stuff.
Generally I can kill someone in about 3-5 hits tops. I've had plenty of two shot kills, and some one-shot kills as well, but in general I find that I'll miss them once or twice, sometimes three times. Generally I stick right around the 3 shot range.
Last night, I had to have fired at this guy like 19 fucking times, and he didn't die.
I had just shot someone who was further away than he was, so I don't think it was my graphics, but for the sake of discussion, all my graphics options were turned down to their lowests, except for how far I can see, that was turned all the way up.
This guy was probably 75 meters away from me, and in general he was just standing around.
I was shooting at him from an elevated position though. I was at the top of a crane while he was about 40 meters away from it, but he was just standing there. Well, sitting there. He was in an AA turret. I lined up the head shot though, fucking fired, and he didn't move. I fired again, this time aiming for his midsection, since I figured that'd be more accurate. At that point the AA turret started spinning around frantically, I think I hit him and he wanted to blast me with a rocket or something. He gets out of the turret and starts running for about 10 meters, then stops, and looks around. I fire at him again. And again. And again. He finally takes off running for cover, and at this point I'm just completely stunned that the bastard is still alive. He pokes his head out from his cover, and I fire again. He jumps back, comes back out a few seconds later, this time prone. I fire at his back, nothing happens. Fire again, and he starts crawling backward back behind his cover. Then he takes off running behind the cover of the dam, and I fire at him like 3 times while he's running. He pokes out, I fire again. He runs away, but when he stops, despite the fact that he's in the dam, a big chunk of the wall is torn away and I can see right through it, and can see him. So I fire again, and again, and again.
The fucker didn't die.
This has never happened to me before. I was wiggin' out over it. I just can't imagine that I missed him with four full clips of ammunition. So what's the deal? Could it have been my graphics glitching for being so low? Maybe a connection problem?
Is it possible there's some kind of invincibility hack out there (though I doubt it)?
Or do I just fucking suck?
