BF1942 Question

[Altema]

I just started playing this game and i kinda got annoyed about how many times i needed to shoot somone with a sniper rifle to kill somone. Maybe the bullets arent going where i point, but whenever i try to kill somone with a sniper i need to shoot a persons head like 2-3 times in the head. Is this how its suppose to be?!?! =(!!!

I don't know...

I don't play sniper... but I hear u gotta aim up an ahead...

[Altema]

Oh, i guess ill try that next time. Installing Metal of Honor Allied Assault because at least snipers one shot to the head kills x_x.

Assult on bf1942 is good though, just sniper headshots is getting me angry x_x

Sniping isnt easy... you gotta hit them in the face or neck for a one shot kill. Practice makes perfect...

Hey, a new guy!

Hurray!

the prediction system in BF1942 makes such things as sniping very different from games like CS. in my experience, you need to lead a bit depending on distance. i actually try and just be patient and follow the enemy with my crosshairs right on him.... just waiting for him to stop.


as oo420oo mentioned... practice makes perfect.

Snipers have to aim slightly above the targets head to get an accurate head shot kill. If you are aim straight for the head you are more than likely just hitting the targets body, hence the 3 shots to kill effect. This is due to a "realism" effect somewhat called a "drop". You see, bullets actually "arc" causing a drop at a certain range and the farther away your target the higher the necessary aim. If you are too far away your bullet may not even reach the target.

Locational damage..aim for the head, you will get "one shot, one kill" Take your time just like snipers in real life....they don't rush. Be patient...wait for that perfect shot.

[Altema]

yeah, im not really used to this kinda arc and distance restrictions. CS, Unreal, MOHAA, Rogue Spear, Ghost Recon, Raven shield all have sniper bullets go w here you point and therefore one shot kill. After all that im used to that x_x

[oo420oo]

I dont know about the arc action(in the game) but I always wait 3 seconds before firing off the first shot; your aim will be more steady than if you just 'fire from the hip'. Definetely wait for your shot; find someone shooting a mounted weapon; they're a sitting duck.:p

And lie down...always more accurate than standing up.

[Altema]

Ah i notice if i stand still for a while before shooting i can one shot killing. So that helps a bit =p
