RESOLVED - M24

iFlanker · Post by **iFlanker** » 2006-03-26 22:43

What do you guys think about the M24 sniper rifle with this mod? I find it very unaccurate. Trying to shoot stationary soldiers from 100 meters seems to be impossible. The SVD seems to work ok, little unaccurate at longer ranges but still beats the s*it out of M24. So is it a bug that bothers the M24 or is it that I just dont know how to aim and fire?

We are aware of the inaccuracy of the M24 (when in different stances IE:crouch, prone) and are addressing it for the .3 release. Stay tuned

The M24 isnt as big a piece of cack as you all make out. If you got a little skill and took the time to learn, you can make so good shots. Ive sussed the M24 and I like it. On average, 3 out of 5 of my shots will hit home.

Go prone. Aim for a few seconds. Longer distance targets require aiming off for distance compensation.

Ive found aiming around the neck area at between 100 - 200 meters is more oftne than not a headshot.
Like Gaz said, go prone, take your time and when you fire, hold the mouse button. This means you stay in scope and can see where the round has landed, allowing you to adjust for your next shot.

it is not bad but i love my M16 - all i want is accuracy however i do like lay down fire in any direction with the M24 - that what it does superbly adn no one can quesiton that except the odd person iit manages to hit after 100 rounds!!!111

Bring on the SPR. Pure, semi automatic, pwnage.

You can give the US the SPR and the Iraqis National Guard or Insurgents or whatever that semi automatic silenced SVD, the VSS Vinotrez or something.

how simple minded! a i much prefer my BROWNBESS and that is the end of that.
For those who are incapacitated in the mind, or have any form of mental retardation, read the following:
"it can only fire 3 rounds a minute, is accurate to a range of 50yard and can not be fitted with an M203"

Ya i find when i stay still for a few seconds and just be calm, then stay steady and fire, my shot hits home 4/5 times at least.

Mark 12 SPR is more of a special operations weapon, isn't it?

Marines should get the M14 DMR

just get something diferent than the m24. the m24 isnt even the main USMC sniper rifle, the m40 actualy is.

m40 is cool. also i agree on m-14 FTW. i cant wait to use the SPR though and actaully be useful to my squad
