Project Reality Forums

I suggest that the MEC get their own type of high-powered, really big sniper rifle. The OSV-96, first used in Desert Combat Extended, this weapon could be used in the same heavy sniper pickup kit such as the M82 is, but with 2 Skorpions or 2 Desert Eagles, or just 2 Mini Uzis again.
It has a 5 to 10 round mag with a big scope. I feel this is more realisitc when the MEC take a M82 from a US base(or take it after t has been re-capped) but when the MEC cap a base and get a M82....ya so here is my 2 suggestion

I'm sure if you make it yourself or find a willing accomplice to do that for you, then the Dev's will happily oblige you with your request. Otherwise I don't see it happening. Putting new weapons in a mod is not a whimsical thing. I doubt they will see it as a worthwhile undertaking either, as it would have a very small place in a realism mod.

A sniper rifle for the MEC has been decided upon through military advice. Still awaiting modeling and skinning so it won't make 0.7.

I think their suggesting anti-material equivalents, not just a dedicated sniper for MEC. Doesn't seem like there's much use for anti-material rifles in game at the moment anyway, aren't they pretty rare too?

God i wish someone would make a sniper mod for BF2 so the rest of us can get on with some teamwork.

It'd be nice to have anti-materials in game if they actually had a point though. As far as I know they've been pretty redundant for a while apart from infantry killing from a stupidly long distance.

About the kit... Having Dual Full Auto Glock18's or dual uzi's makes me think where do the realism go ? Maby in PR 0.7 the PR crew will make a special console command code to spawn a kit with Dual GAU-8 handheld fireing Tankshells with the power of nukes. I belive the Heavy Sniper kits should have a loadout thats realistic. To find out whats realistic find out what the army equips a heavy sniper with...
