Before any "weapon aficionados" reply and tell me a sniper caliber blah blah is more heavy hitting than a viper hollow tip night google squad force heckler .308 x=mc^4 whatever. I get it, I understand sniper rifles in reality are stronger than assault rifles etc. ALSO before anyone comments, saying "well brrrooooooooooo its their game, their money, they can play how they want to brooooooooo" ok yeah I get it also... I get it, im not saying people who snipe cant. Im just saying this is BS.
I cant tell you how many times ive made 6+ bullets contact from assault rifles in numerous games. Cod, battlefield, counterstrike, grand theft auto I mean the list goes on. The person im shooting at will either hide behind cover or turn on me, one sec later shot me once in the toenail and kill me -_- . Connection based, sure I get it. Lag sometimes takes the wheel, or what have you. But I mean seriously, this is just ridiculous.
I dont want this to get super long (because I can make it but then no one would read it) but I think that games should have a mode where sniper rifles are not allowed. Everything besides sniper rifles.. I personally think sniper rifles need huge nerfs across all games.
btw im not mad, this is just how I talk.

Games are not realistic? Nothing you can do about it? An assault rifle would be used single fire or burst fire, but most games would have you believe otherwise. Realistically, an assault rifles clip would be empty in seconds if it were fired fully auto.

There are stories of soldiers gaining the Medal of Honor here in the states where they were shot multiple times, blown up by IED's, or shielded their comrades from a grenade blast, and survived. Is it likely? No. But it does happen. In my own opinion, Battlefield is the most realistic game out there when it comes to the actual science of bullet ballistics and power. Call of Duty is so far fetched it isn't funny, I agree with you on the CoD series. You gotta think, Quick-Scoping gained popularity, so they are going to hinder other aspects of the game to make the more popular ones more enjoyable. It is all based on the popular vote, and unfortunately companies lose sight of actual dynamics that brought justice to the game and made it enjoyable for all types of players.

pretty much what sanctyy said , games are not realistic when it comes to getting killed from a gun. gta is the closest to realistic deaths at times it takes one shot to the head with a pistol. cod on the other hand it takes two sniper shots to kill someone in the chest.

What they need to do is make it so that sniper rifles are used like sniper rifles. You don't see a sniper in real life trying to run up on guys and quick scope them? So you shouldn't see that shit in games.

But 1 thing that is stupid sometimes is when your up close to someone and you shoot them with a sniper and it doesn't kill them? Bruh.

I do agree dying to a sniper rifle and some *** running around quick scoping is annoying. When a sniper joins the lobby I am in, I leave unless I am sniping too. The only game that I have ever enjoyed snipers in is Battlefield because of bullet drop and what not. It makes for a more fun experience.

sniper rifles in games should react like they would in real life.
for example, one does not simple stand up and run around with a 50. calibre sniper rifle.
here is what should happen:
- movement limited
- more effective while crouched or prone
- ineffective while standing
you know, because they are realistic things with snipers.
apart from light sniper rifles but that can be battled by not allowing 1 hit shots apart from head shots.
games become more realistic every year, but the snipers will never be realistic within them until they add basic knowledge to how it would really work in a combat situation.
plus fast paced gameplay is over rated, i prefer team tactics.

iamOTHER wroteIn that case, why do we have health regeneration? Respawining? Because even the most realistic FPS games have other aspects besides quickscoping that are unrealistic.
