BF3 No One Hit Body Kills with Snipers, More Weapon Recoil, and More

4.5
There has been tons of Battlefield 3 info floating around the internet this past week. Recently, DICE developers have been much more generous with specifics on weapons and other details about the game. In particular, Alan Kertz, known as Demize99 on Twitter, has revealed some interesting tidbits of info and MP1st has it all here:

When asked about the AK47 and the two M16′s, Kertz stated, “the M16A3 and M16A4 are both in the game, [this] was decided after the fact sheet was printed.” What could be the in-game difference between the two is still unknown. Perhaps they are meant for different classes? In regard to the AK47, Kertz said the “AK47 is obsolete. We have the AK74M.”

Kertz also talked about weapon customization. Weapon optics were a point of interest for many fans. When asked about the recently announced enhanced night vision, Kertz stated, “the ENV is a weapon optic. It only turns on when you zoom in. There is no always on ENV. It cannot be disabled in zoom either.” In regards to side arms, Kertz said there will be “no pistol customization, but a wide variety will be available.” Kertz was also asked if all weapons could have suppressors attached to them. He answered, “not shotguns, pretty much everything else. Some are more effective than others.” He also mentioned the flashlight attachment. “Shadows play a big role, and flashlights make a big difference.”

Kertz also elaborated on bullet drop saying, “gravity is the same but velocity is different giving [bullets] different drops and travel time at the same ranges.” He added, “the distances are larger so the drop has been tweaked accordingly.”

Another interesting feature that was shown in the latest tailer was the scope glint on the weapon optics. Kertz informed us “glint is based on the scope. Out a high zoom scope on a AR will give glint too.” When asked about whether glint would be noticeable only if the enemy is aiming at the player or not, Kertz confirmed, “yes it’s directional.”

A hot topic about weapons that was noticeable in the leaked alpha footage was regarding the recoil. Daniel “zh1n0″ Matros replied to the question of whether or not there is more weapon recoil by stating “yes, depends on what guns you pick.”

One very interesting, and potentially controversial statement that Kertz made was, “there are no 1 hit body kills with sniper rifles. Pull your side arm or use a semi auto for fast follow up hits.

About the snipers thing, I think that;

1. Different snipers should have different recoil and damage amounts.

2. Make chest and head shots with a sniper 1 shot 1 kills. Of course a sniper bullet to the arms or legs isn't going to instantly kill you but a sniper bullet to the chest or head sure will.

zAleex Don't screw up sniping or you'll end up like black ops! Where the recoil is so high, its like throwing the gun on the floor after every shot!!


I actually LOLed at this because its soo true xD

-Cyimking- I think it depends on the sniper.. If the sniper is strong enough then it might kill on one hit. If the sniper rifles weak, then it will require extra damage..


That, and the distance where your shooting someone

nmball Definitely don't agree with the whole no one hit kills while sniping. If they want to make a realistic game then this shouldn't even be considered. Hopefully there will be a hardcore mode that eliminates this.

I'd like to see someone in real life survive a sniper rifle bullet to the chest and keep walking.


course there isnt a one shot sniper kill.. well there is in real life and in games i allow it.
But i hate about CoD is hitmarkers.. in real life a sniper shot in any part of the opponent body should atleast knock them down.. which in CoD the one shot isnt exactly killing them.. but when they get knocked down they pratcially are already dead.

soo BF3 is saying now one shots with snipers.. claiming hitmarkers? Sniping in this game is gonna suck.. worst than Black OPS maybe. lol.. i wont be buying this game.. will borrow it from a friend, but thats it. lol

So what? Big deal the sniper is not one-hit unless you achieve a head-shot. That's what hard core mode is for. There its even MORE realistic then regular mode. Besides I play BFBC2 and all the snipers are not one hit unless the enemy is like 10 yards away or you pull off a head-shot in regular mode. So it won't be much different then BFBC2 when it comes to sniping. Then there's also the fact that spotting people gives off that little orange symbol above people's heads so that helps with pulling off head-shots. I don't see why everyone is getting all ticked off for?
