Please make crosshairs on snipers smaller

[JD10 0]

So i've been using my AS50 for a while, and I gotta say; It beats EVERY gun in close quarter's aswell as long range, which makes it the most unecessary overpowered gun in the game.

A sniper is supposed to provide long range support, & not run around in towns, killing everyone.

Today I killed 11 people from a ranged distance, & 7 people in close quarters. And no deaths.

Please make the crosshairs of sniper rifles smaller, or atleast make all the sniper rifles have a good 2-3 sec between each shot, which would make you have to place one shot perfectly, or bam; Dead.

Play on servers with crosshairs disabled. It stops people from running around like noobs shooting rifles from the hip.

A SMALLER crosshair would make the weapon MORE accurate. You mean a BIGGER crosshair allowing for more spread.

You have never played arma 2 have you? you cannot edit the values or speed up or slow down a fire rate on a finished game, It's very hard.

buuullshiiiiiaaat!

why make totally wrong statements about something you have no idea about and embarress yourself? you can change any value AND the crosshairs of any gun in a mod like in any other modable game. why wouldn't that be possible?

i don't get people like you. you obviously have no idea about arma modding or modding in general. so why even bother making a post like this? need attention?

sorry but ignorance makes me mad and mixed with wise-assery it's like...fuck....have a good day....you f....ret.....sir.

and if you're trolling...i still hate you...

Even though the other user may be wrong it doesn't mean you may go and post pointless things--all it does is make yourself look foolish. DO NOT DO IT AGAIN.

So ignore reality and make them all essentially single-shot weapons? Not happening. One thing they could do is to increase the encumbrance of the weapon a bit so that it is slower to point.

Actually it's pretty easy, you can change damage, rate of fire, caliber, etc, in just a couple minutes.

Ohhohhoo~

So i've been using my AS50 for a while, and I gotta say; It beats EVERY gun in close quarter's aswell as long range, which makes it the most unecessary overpowered gun in the game. Play DayZ+. It's an 'official' community version of DayZ, and AS50 does not spawn as loot at all. Nor does M107 if I recall.

A sniper is supposed to provide long range support, & not run around in towns, killing everyone. Supposed to, but not required to use one. Yes, sniper rifles are designed for long-range engagements, but there's no invisible barrier that prevents you from shoving the muzzle down someone's throat before pulling the trigger, if you so please. And I'm not talking just about ARMA 2, I'm talking about real life, here. Did you know that ARMA 2 was a realistic military simulator? That means that the weapons handle the same way as their real life counterparts.

Today I killed 11 people from a ranged distance, & 7 people in close quarters. And no deaths. This only proves that you; 1. Are a terrible person. or 2. made up some numbers because you are mad at overpowered weapons in general, and want to get your point across, without people jumping on the fact that you're just too bad to stay hidden.

Please make the crosshairs of sniper rifles smaller, Why? Have you not noticed that your crosshair is LITERALLY a small green dot that is about 2x5 pixels in size on your screen? How does it even get smaller than that? Or if you're just talking about the scope zoom, well, again, it would fight against the fact that it's a long-range sniper rifle. or atleast make all the sniper rifles have a good 2-3 sec between each shot, which would make you have to place one shot perfectly, or bam; Dead. You don't have to wait 2-3 seconds in real life to fire a weapon. Not unless it has a mechanism like a bolt-action chamber that you have to re-cock between each shot. And if you want to nit-pick on things, there IS a delay between shots. Which is about 0.3 - 0.5 seconds, besides for the DMR, which fires as fast as you can click your mouse.

Sorry, but stupidity and incompetence makes me a wise-ass.

Well I can tell you're female with an arsey response like that. If you are male then... Oops..

Yes you can change the values but why would you change them? They are realistic values in a military simulator. If you want to change to unrealistic values then I want the rocket launcher to have a 100 missile magazine and I want it to shoot every 0.7 seconds and have no drop...

I shot a guy from the hip twice with a scoped rifle ( not a sniper ) on a 1st person expert server...you just have to get used to it.

I was also called a sprayer noob when i fired 10 shots at a guy in some trees with my battle rifle who was using a bolt action sniper when i was stalking him and he somehow heard me and opened fire. "Your fault for coming to a cqb fight with a bolt action rifle, lol!". He had a sidearm...

At least all have to agree that sniper rifle users don't have any disadvantage with crosshairs enabled....same problem with 3rd person...

wow now i feel bad. i always assume that people have basic logical abilities and/or know when they have nothing or only bullshit to contribute and then i treat them like they know better. i take it all back. can't be ignorance. must be just lack of...well...nevermind. yea you are right. why even think about changing weapon properties in a thread about changing weapon properties. so absurd

oops! what's that? oh no! context. damnit now it all makes sense...or does it?

but since you just said what you said and not this....

I'm sensing a bit of hipocrisy here...

Anyways, I don't really like the As50 and the M107 being in the game, I'd prefer an emphasis on more civilian and russian/czech weapons. However, if they're going to be in the game, I think the best thing to do would be what Gews said, and make the weight a little more prominent (eg slower to turn it, becoming more wobbly the longer your character holds it) to tell people that they are guns that should be used while prone.
