Out of curiosity I'm wondering if the game is modded on 360? Today I ran across a sniper just banging out headshots. Absolute best sniper I've seen yet. No exaggeration he was popping everyone in the head the SECOND they entered his line of sight. Even groups of 2 or 3 people. The kill list thing at the top right of the screen was more or less completely filled with Name Headshot Name. Just wondering if I need to avoid this dude or give him his props for destroying.
The dudes name was xGhost rx or some jazz like that. Played several games with him and he just dominated as sniper.
Some Snipers are just that good, particularly if they've learned to quickscope. Or if they have host.
I guess its entirely possible he was that good. I believe he went like 40-1 with the bulk of his kills being headshots. I don't think I saw him get a single body kill, so it seemed a bit fishy.
To add to what Foolamancer said, you also need to consider the skill level of the people that the Sniper may have been up against. If they aren't constantly moving around, it's damn near a free kill for a decent Sniper on host.
It's also because he pulls host. He actually has a bad shot it's just he has barley any latency while he is host. I came a cross him a few times today. Didn't start the game as Sniper but I guess I was pushing too hard or killing the rest of his team in which case caused him to go Sniper. Which tells me even he knows his host Sniper "owns." Funny thing is though as Sniper, while I was in his games, he sat in the back of his base shooting bots. The only time I seen him leave his base was when he was juiced.
Scathis said that this might not work because of the way MNC accepts input, so yeah... http://uberent.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9856&start=0
I don't get it. How does being a host help you in any way possible in game? I wouldn't know because I CAN'T host. . .ever.
Because everything you do works right away , no latency , everyone other persons stuff has some delay on it.
point of reference: off host sniping in a full length game, i can pull maybe 20-5. on host however i would have no problem pulling a 50-3. seriously.
very true. I am a terrible sniper, but when the game deals host to me, my headshot ratio goes from 5% to damn near 50%. Almost every one of my uber streaks have come from playing on host. Beyond that, I'm pretty bad at MNC.
