Lightbulb I love being a 2142 Sniper, but...

... does anyone else think a magazine clip size of just 5 rounds is a tad bit on the stingy side? I reckon 10 or even just going up to 8 would be better.

Even worse if you go for the unlock. That has a clip of just 3 rounds! Its more powerful, but I have decided not to go for the new sniper rifle simply because of the small clip, and also because its sight is tiny and restricts peripheral vision (if that exists in 4:3 lol).


Thoughts?

Well I just used my unlock to get the spawn beacon.

I get plenty of kills with the standard sniper rifles. I already have the 4x zoom and the gyro stabaliser, only sniper unlock left is the new rifle which Im not too fussed about getting, and I never play specops anymore so I cant be arsed to unlock the C4 etc.

If only my mouse had a 13th button I could assign to shift

Anyone complaining about the sniping in BF2142?
I've gotten shot way too often by snipers in BF2142 if you ask me...heh.
I've been in the base rail gun and base AA gun and gotten sniped by one shot.

Whatever happened to just being injured by sniper...I don't wanna hear anymore talk about the ineffectiveness of this BF2142 weapon.

Thumbs up Re: I love being a 2142 Sniper, but...

A 5 clip magazine isnt bad at all, just have to know how to use it rigtht thats all. Stick and move is the motto of the sniper and this game.. Aim for the head at all times although this wont be easy all the time, and remember that your target will be looking for you the next time he respawns.
