Sounds good in theory.

I feel the only way to make the sniper rifle better is to basically copy RTCW. It's a fantastic method.

Thats nothing, just get rid of it totaly!

Getting rid of the sniper rifle totally would be removing an important factor of the game.

Snipers are a very real danger in warfare...

I've noticed that rocket toting kids (especially those in FFA) don't care about getting killed, they just want to see stuff blow up and go flying. So more explosive power would only give them more fun in watching stuff blow up. By the way wasn't the bazooka a shaped charge weapon, aka quite useless against infantry.

I think that the sniper idea is good but the rocket idea needs some work since a lot of rockateers shoot from extremely long range they'd just end up being rewarded by killing more people with a bigger explosion.

[Hellbaby2065]

Kiddies won't have fun if almost every shot kills them, I guarantee you.

Actually, I think there were frag rockets...
I heard somewhere bazookas were sometimes used to clear bunkers.

[Hellbaby2065]

also... rocket flight path can be adjusted to be less accurate at extreme range. I've seen it done on some servers...

[quietstuckinlimbo]

All the weapons in the game should stay but just be limited in someway.

I'd love to see a weapon class mod with weapon limitations.

SDK ... SDK....

most rocket users dont care if it kills them. if they get a kill, its good for them, suicide or not. i think there should be some sort of penalty system for suicides. too many suicidal rockets running around.

in the unmodded game they go off course after effective range, for example, if you try to shoot the bunkers from the boats in omaha, the rocket will go off course before it gets there.

[Hellbaby2065]

Yes, true. I have also heard about mods where the effective range is drastically reduced..

[Hellbaby2065]

I think I have a great idea for a mod that will solve the sniper/rocketeer problems without removing the weapons.

Check it out-

Sniper:

Modify the sniper rifle so there is more delay bringing the scope up to the eye.
I know there is more scope delay in MOHAA than in a game like UT, but I'm sure the time needed to scope could be increased in some way. This would prevent "sniping on the run", and other unrealistic situations. Sniping would take more time to set up, which is much more realistic.

Rockets:

Increase rocket damage substantially. I know, you're thinking "WHAT!?? INCREASE!? The rocket is already too powerful!", but think about it. A rocketeer with a super-powerful rocket would have to be MUCH more careful about his shots. Any shot which gives splash damage to the rocketeer will kill him INSTANTLY, pretty much eliminating rocket kiddies. Any player who kills himself more than three times is bound to get frustrated.

So whaddya think?

I agree, but I believe that delaying the scope isn't the best solution. If you are going for realistic than just prevent sniping while running all together, like in RTCW. IMHO

Don't get me wrong, I use the sniper rifle more than any other weapon. But I would like to see something done about the sniping on the run issue.

Well...the creators of the game made it this way, and it happened like this in real warfare. Except ppl didn't respawn so they didn't do suicide-rocket runs. So that could use a fix. Just imagine how those guys look like if scars would remain visible after a respawn.

I have an great mod idea for those assholes that want no sniper rifles; Lets uninstal the game completely, repackage it, then piss on it. Then, shove it up your ass.

You whiny bastards complain about snipers like you have nothing else better to do. To sniper requires skill which includes aiming, typing, and patience. If you dont have that skill stop bitching and practice. Its much harder to use a sniper rifle then to just PRAY AND SPRAY and 3000 times harder then just using a rocket. Lets not put sniper rifles and rockets in the same boat cause they are two different weapons.

For starters, rockets were used mostly on armour, not on enemy troops. If a rocketman used his rockets on infantry, what would he have to fight off the enemy tanks and tow guns? They werent used at point-blank range either like some of these pussies that use it the whole game. Its rather frustrating when someone who is -3 and 45 keeps blowing you and himself up.

I wonder what the average age of the player in this game. Its gotta be 12. These little punk bitches get mommy or daddy to buy them a PC and this game, and instead of doing their homework, they're busy being little cocksuckers on the net and on this forum.

The complaining has reached "epidemic proportions" and while i have my rant, lets talk about another set of freaks who run servers without the bandwidth to have more then one person playing on it. Why even bother? You fucks set up servers with 10 min or 10 kills per level rules and expect it to be fun? How many times have you fellas gone into an undedicated server and have it lag down by some 56k'r who's also downloading some porn at the same time and have the host say " I dont know how to boot someone" Why even host a server if you dont know how to run it jerkoffs?

All this bullshit that i see in this game makes me want to uninstal it completely, repackage it, then piss on it. THEN, shove it up the asses of the punks who are ruining this community with this bullshit complaining about sniper rifles and ignorant cocksmokers who couldnt even host an ant farm.

If you dont like sniper rifles then GET DOWN other wise your gonna get shot.
