Interestling Glitch for Sniper Rifle?

[Rammer2k]

So I was waiting out the rest of my bounty on top of Maze Bank. While scoping out the area with my Sniper Rifle, I could hear a chopper take off at the airport. Panning left, or right, the sound would fade out. Checking the map, there were about 3 white dots at the airport. I also saw a white dot at the helipad by the marina. Sure enough, even though I couldn't see anyone, I could hear the person getting into a chopper, and taking off.

 

So it would seem that you can use either Sniper Rifle as a directional mic. Not sure if anyone else has ever noticed this. This could be quite useful as it would give ya a heads up when ever somebody goes, and gets a chopper, plane, or whatever.

I noticed this ages ago. It can be a useful check of how far things are from you without popping the map open.

Yep, I noticed this some time ago doing "Diamonds are for Trevor". After getting the diamonds you go to a pier and get in a boat. My buddy did this while I waited with a sniper for the chopper to appear. Zoomed in on its map icon I could hear the chopper long before I could see even a speck in the distance...

very helpful when scoping someone getting in/out of a car and only the car rendering not the player, hear the door open. pop off the drivers seat. Long distance kill baby.

Many an LSC user has been caught out this way from the top of Tinsel Towers.

I would hope most people who have used the sniper rifle already know this. It seemed obvious to me.

It's best advantage to me was being able to hear non rendered people break a window,you can even hear them open an unlocked car door.

This would tell you when to shoot into the cars window without being able to see the guy.

This kid insane? "Not sure if anyone else has noticed this"? LOL wow. I'm not sure people like you think before you make threads.

Is there any other player sounds you can hear besides choppers and car doors opening?

You can hear someones footsteps.

yeah you can hear pretty much everything they're doing. i've gotten a couple lucky kills this way also. i don't know how but i've shot at the sounds before and somehow managed to get a kill even though i couldn't see anything.

Yeah how I wish it would actually render players at distance.

 

It renders cars and bullets though. Many a time have I got the kill on a guy I cant see bit I can see the bullets he's firing and guess his position.

 

Be so much better if it actually rendered players properly though
