The Engy- snipers...?

I dont know if you have had this discussion before but its getting boring with all these engeneers shooting their rifles with better precision then the sniper rifle or any other rifle for that matter. We often play Berlin map without nades - could we plz play maps without the engeneer rifle?

The engeneers arn't supposed to run first in the front throwing engypacks and precision shoot infantry with engy rifle while enemy is driving a car in full speed or so... its just so unreal...its an explotation of a flaw of the gamedesign... "Engy- snipers" - plz go and repair a bridge or something...

Should engeneer rifles be taken away from some maps?

  1. Yes from all maps and limit expacks too...
  2. Yes from all maps...
  3. Yes from some maps...
  4. No not at all...
  5. I dont care...

No idea what you mean. It takes skill to be good at engi rifles. If you play as sniper and draw a point on your screen it is much easier to hit without zooming.

Re: The Engy- snipers...?

When longdistance sniping with engyweapon is more accurate then with sniper rifle - then it aint skill - its is a bug. Same people that snipes me with engyrifle cant do it with a sniper rifle... thats wrong...

Re: The Engy- snipers...?

...

With sniperrifle i can aim 15 seconds on a standing target and hit... nuffin. The enemy is not even shakin.

But the worst thing is, when i press zoom it's zooming in and then out, but i stay allways on the right mouse.

As you said... Bug... I call it rubberbanding. It goes in the same direction.

Re: The Engy- snipers...?

I call myself an "Assault Engy," not a Sniper Engy. 

I recommend making less predictable movements. Stop running in a strait line.

Finally, give Engy a try. It ain't easy getting good on that gun.  Give us that!

You ever did something for years and when you have to describe it you explained it vice versa?

Of course i press 1 time the right mouse with sniperRifle...

But then it zooms in and again out. But it should stay. Then i have to press the mouse again and then it stays.

It's just this known rubberbandingthing i have.

Re: The Engy- snipers...?

Casca, that means you were fighting against some oldschool players wink
Some of them have amazing skills with Engy gun, nothing to do with that..
As for me, take away engeneer gun makes no sense-It would ruin the game.

Long distance sniper wins all day. If it is so accurate and a 'bug' then replicate it and own everyone on the server with the engy rifle.

Re: The Engy- snipers...?

If u want nades in Berlin come to simple usa you get 3 per pack no refills though. And if bots are on the map watch out they are the masters of hitbox

Lol its the same rifle, K98 just with or without a scope.

Bots always have full ammo by some weird logic from DICE.

Re: The Engy- snipers...?

I promise you its a bug this "sniper engy" thing. I see now players choosing engy rifle instead of sniper rifle to use as a sniper... One shoot and Im dead but usually it takes 2 -3 shoots to kill me with common sniperrifle...

Then also Ive seen i.e. one admin Pedro using engyrifle to shoot many fast shoots in a row wich is impossible for me to do in my game. Is that a mod or is it a hack or how is this possible?

Re: The Engy- snipers...?

Some of the engii kits have semi-automatic rifiles.
http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Engineer

The Engineer in Battlefield 1942 differs from all the other iterations in their primary armament. They are equipped with accurate non-scoped bolt-action rifles (in the case of the British, Soviet, US Army and German kits) or a semi-automatic rifle (in the case of the USMC and Japanese kits), making them more suited for long-range combat than the other kits (bar the Scout kit). They are also armed with anti-tank mines and TNT for destroying enemy vehicles, and the wrench tool for repairing friendly vehicles, as well as the basic weapons issued to all kits (a handgun and a combat knife).

Re: The Engy- snipers...?

USMC engi = M1Garand, Japs engi = Type5 http://bfmods.com/tutorial2f2c.php?page … f1942.html

Those have the same bullet damage as the sniper rifles, and they goes straight where you aim, no bullet drop or spread.

With a bit of training you can headshot for example a medic before he can spray enough bullets to kill you.

edit. Type 5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_4_rifle
