Does anyone know if there is actual drop on 2142 sniper rifles? i play sniper pretty much exclusively and i cant make up my damn mind. On one hand i think they carried over drop from 2, and on the other i think i just misstimed my shot and got lower than i thought id get or the deviation changed directions when i fired. i mean i use the zeller h all the time, and im not sure, but i dont think it has drop.

Anyone know if there actually IS drop on our beloved sniper rifles?

I really haven’t noticed any Bullet (or laser whatever the hell it is)drop so far but then again i don’t do much sniping past 250m.

Only thing I can give you as reference is on Sidi Power Plant, pod drop onto that huge tower (by silo 4 i think)and aim for people at the opposite side of the map (silo 5), the drop is about 1/2-3/4 of a guys height.

(Silo numbers may be the other way round I can't be bothered loading the map to check)

The silo numbers seem to change each time I play...

"I'm going to Silo 2! GO TO SILO 2!!!"
"I am at SILO 2! You dumb lazy eyed twat!"
"No you aren't! You're at Silo 5"
"DUDE! I am at Silo 2!"

I've heard many exchanges like that on VOIP and teamspeak/ventrilo.

I haven't sniped that much, I noticed I wasn't getting headshots but I attributed that to the sway.

Sometime ago, my squad got disbanded due to the conflict of Silo Numbers not matching... It was sad...

There is more drop on 2142 than on bf2. I snipe Minsk from about 300m. I have over 300 infiltraitor pins

Whats up with the red filter on the scope on some maps I can see anything with that scope when enemy is further away.

You CAN? Or you CAN'T?

Anyway, the Zeller scope looks different according to your graphics level.
Higher the graphics setting, the clearer it will get in the middle of the scope (At highest, it is almost completely clear and it actually has NICE slight redness to it that actually helps identifying targets.)

EDIT: BTW for any of you who wants to look at how the Zeller scope looks like in Highest setting, goto Media section of the forum and check it out. Or just click this link

Holy crap...300 pins * 5 guys per pin=1500 headshot? Damn man...I have maybe thirty, and I'm not the greatest sniper out there either. Something to shoot for, though.

No you dweebs sniper rifles are a lot easier to use IMO especially against moving targets I unlocked the stablilzer but I hardly use it, plus I'm a close range sniper.

Park K.D = 13.25
Morred K.D= 5.75

EDIT= This is kind of off topic

That's strange, because when I am a sniper at the silo in the middle of the map I need to aim right on you to hit you. Take a few shot due to that I hit the bars.

But so far I really don't notice any bullet drop either.

Is that your actual K/D ratio if it is ( which i doubt ) where do you get it from? the only thing i care about stats is pretty much weapon K/D ratios i really don´t see why EA changed that i don´t give a shit how many times i get killed by certain weapons that´s just completely pointless to know.

Edit :And on Topic There is some more drop on 2142 and i get the feeling it´s easier to score headshots now than it was on >BF2, On a distance of 200m i aim 2-3 mm above the head usually works for me

I've noticed there is bullet drop. However, at times I just aim dead on the guy and actually get him. Which is weird. I'll probably take some time in SP over Thanksgiving break to figure out the bullet drop thing. Don't like messing around online too much.

Like, if I could see the bullet impact it would be easy to judge bullet drop but at the ranges I've been firing now the chances of seeing thje bullet impact seem unlikely. Whereas I've already figured out the shell drop for the tanks.

I got the Zeller and i havent noticed and drop cause i am a squad sniper specializing in close range snap/headshots and pistol kills. lol i usualy get 3-4 infilitrator pins + acouple hangun pins in a high points round... MUAHAHA... i will try some extreem long range to see about the drop... btw i do know the basic rifles have abit of drop even at medium range... but dont know about the Zeller yet

Yep. I have 2500 kills with the zeller with 1500 of them headshots. And a k/d ratio of 63

K/D is worked out by how many times you have been killed by that weapon.

For example No1 with the park sniper rifle is a guy called plastic-budgie, he has a k/d of 600! This is achieved because he uses the park sniper rifle on 1 map only, and the guy on the other team can't have a park, he will have a moretti. So you will take deaths with the moretti when your not even using it!

If you look close at the zeller leaderboard, you will see the k/d ratios are much lower. That's because both sides can use the zeller, because it's an unlock.

Hope this helps a few of you
