Rifle No Longer As Accurate (Plus a Small Rant)

[Paratrooper]

Crap. I mean decreased.

Didn't have enough time to change that.

I noticed this as well, ever since 0.75 update came, my shots seemed like they never did any headshots. I (Me being a complete dumbass in plans and stuff like that,) charge into enemy base wielding rifle, whenever I try to killstreak all the enemies in my path, I get 2 out of 5. Also, when ever I am sniping/camping and get a perfect headshot, Death decides to give him a blind eye and let him live. Hope this fix this. :P In the meanwhile, I'll be modding, because with this new "nerfed headshot", I'll be as good as a blind 5 year old.

Send the game back to 0.30 anyone?

Send the game back to 0.30 anyone?

Make a Classic version anyone?

Yeah, don't mess with the rifle ben. It's a religion.

My opinion on this version's rifle adjustments:

I think it's fine. I've never resorted to using the rifle purely for headshots anyway. Maybe you guys should stop going for one-shot kills and aim for, y'know, the other parts of the body.

Why would we do that when it's a one-shot kill to the head and a three-shot kill to the body? That's just stupid if you ask me, considering the size of the players' heads.

Because slowly aiming for the head is harder than aiming multiple shots in the general direction of the body, possibly getting a headshot.

Also it's a 3-shot kill assuming the opponent hasn't taken any damage at all: it does 49 damage (which I still dislike and think should be nerfed to 35-40). On some maps, like Babel, I've run out of ammo before being caught with the number of kills I was putting out (at fog range, mind), so the drop in accuracy really doesn't bother me. I'm still able to use the rifle with deadly effect, even if it's slightly less effective.

You dont have to slowly aim for a headshot if you practice enough.

[Paratrooper]

Actually, now that I've played with the rifle, I actually think the accuracy's perfectly fine.

Ben made the Smg have great accuracy at duck. Try the Semi at duck it got 100% accuracy , so its not unbalanced its perfectly fine.

Accuracy isn't affected when you crouch. You mean recoil?

Dude, when you play competitively, against people like the Komrades, you don't waste almost a third of your mag on one person.

Reasoning?

1. Because one shot to the head will kill you before you even make two to the body.
2. If you spray a bunch of bullets at someone, hit them twice, and then still die, you will get laughed off the server.

Consider that the head is almost 1/3 of the body. Headshots here are way easier than in your average FPS.
