However, I just love the way the scope of SVD looks like. Also if the scope was made using single arrow and a straight vertical line, instead of three arrow with vertical line way down there, it would be easier actually to aim.

Just curious, how do you know they were using an aimbot?

Or what else? Unlocks are better because you have to unlock them?

Good question. I've used and experienced firsthand on the receiving end what aimbots are like in UT, so I have a good idea what they can be like, and in BF2 I snipe all the time and one of the primary roles of snipers is to counter the enemy snipers meaning I face other snipers a lot. I think I have a better-than-average idea of what's okay, good and amazing shooting, and what's possible.

Plus, since we now know that there are working aimbots out there it's highly unlikely that you never encounter one.

And one time I know for sure. I called the guy on his insane accuracy with the SVD (Warlord, 120m+ headshot on someone not silhouetted against the sky, one of about five kills in quick succession and we weren't hearing that distinctive crack crack crack crack crack sound for each kill, it was one shot per target) and I was right since he was kicked right after, when the admin checked a PB screenshot

I once ran across soemone using sem sort of invincibiliyt hack,i think. I kept shootingnat him,lobbed nades at him, the works, and he still survived. then finally i ran out of atience, and got him with a vehicle. that worked. interesting thintg is, ti was an empty server apart from me and him............. but the SVD. well,if it's avalible to an army,I agree. ( has anyone noticed the insurgents seem to use similar stock weapons to the MEC? ditto for the rebels)if not, then M95 is pretty damn good. I unlocked the M95,went on warlord and started shooting. boom headshot ( on a guy prone in one of the alleys in front of the TV station firing indiscriminately. soon stopped his kill streak.) then boom bodyshoton anidiot running about( aimed for his head, he moved). soon got another bodyshot on him, as i remember. and it is useful against some vehicles.

Type95=>best CQC/mid range LMG

QBZ-97=>best Carbine

I checked the map editor for BF2, there isnt any chinese urban maps because there are only about 10 different chinese buildings. A chinese urban map would be a déjà vu from hell

Wow you really might want to use that 'Check Spelling' before posting anything since it seems that you are incapable of posting a writing that is comprehensible.

well there is a map that involves the type 88 in close range.... but even then bolt actions outperforms it

m95 is the best on city maps cos quite frankly if you miss even with an m95 at a target with 100-150meters then you shouldnt play sniper. (hell even whatch nytes vids to see why)

ipoon.be you said earlier that the time taken to fire say an m95 then switch to pistol is long enough to get 2/3 shots form an svd thats still more shots required to kill a target considering the m95 brings all units down to 2 bars of health

Though not available on city maps .

Svd is not better or worser then M24 . Just different... better to deal with troops , harder to deal with enemy snipers . If you master it , it may be even better then bolt actions , but it drops your accuracy b\c of long shots that sometimes doesnt hit target even if aim is 100% .

For me , svd is the best . Beeing USMC I pick it up over any other sniper rifle or assault rifle , if I want to snipe with it . 2\3 of my sniper kills come with SVD ( 1\3 - L96A1\M24 & very-very little from Type-88 - I helowhore on china maps )

So If you are able to make headshots with SVD at range > 100m - then it is better in your hands then M24 .

In my honest opinion, I wished that USMC had some sort of Semi-Auto sniper rifle to add variation instead of having MEC and China to be the only teams that have them. Even though I use bolt action rifle most of the time, I sometimes wish I had a semi-auto rifle in my hand as USMC in certain situations (especially when I have to deal with massive amounts of enemy waves comming towards the front).

But you have an advantage if zoom and accuracy. I cant imagine you sniping with the pistol at 200m+ especially if the target is running. And imagine missing all your shots, thats even more time wasted switching back to the rifle. Less chance of that happening with a semi auto.

Anyway, you decide how many shots you can get off in that time with the SVD, theres no fixed waiting period.

Just press null vote. This poll is rigged. LoL like all the votes in President Election in United States. jk

iPoon.be just wanted to say how much he loves his SVD. You don't have to vote if you don't like it, I pressed null vote because I am not supporting the SVD FTW kind of stuff.
