Should rockstar remove the marksman rifle

[l Marksman God l]

 

 

What are most of you talking about you have time to get 2 shots in with heavy sniper vs marksman always.

 

A good aimer will always win with heavy vs marksman always.

 

Game is ok if you ask me, people just dont realise that somethings are overpowered for controller where as they are not for mouse/keyboard and vise versa.

That depends. If the guy is a good marksman with a good footwork(Not just going left and right), he might shoot you 4-5 times with his marksman before your 2 shots. I beat a bunch of good heavy snipers with my marksman

 

What do you mean if a guy/girl is good or not. This is just simple mechanics of how fast one weapon shoots vs the other.

 

You always have 2 shots with heavy sniper vs marksman if you miss you die.

 

But that is your fault not the games just improve your aim.

 

Game is perfectly balanced if you ask me there is not a single thing that is really overpowered.

 

People just dont want to properly learn how to play against each thing. I see people crying about jets being overpowered where as i havent had problems with them after i died 150 times and learned how to beat them.

 

Same goes for tanks, armored cars, insurgents, marksman rifle and so on. All things have counters you just have to learn what works best and how.

 

I'm not complaining about anything, I think the game is OK too. But just cause a guy is good with the heavy it doesn't mean he'll beat every single player who use a marksman. I use the heavy as well, but I prefer the marksman. I'm just saying that if a guy is good with a marksman and knows what he is doing, he could hit u 4 times before u hit him twice.

I was playing survival last night and noticed this guy dancing around, how does he do that .. I tried it and couldn't seem to mimic what he was doing, even tried first person ?

 

Was he using a marksman or ?

[Arrows to Athens]

the rifle isnt the problem. its the scumbag players that use every possible exploit while using the marksmen sniper.

 

players with invisible bodies wearing bph helmet/mask glitch doing the super health vest glitch while abusing 1st person mode to wiggle around faster. some of them still have super speed and combat roll mods active. manipulating their lag or just straight up lag switching.

 

the really sad ones just spam infinite explosives in between killing themselves.

Reminds of me of the turbos back in IV.

[cipher656]

no don't remove anything add more of everything

How do people run with it? What settings are u using? Cause all I can do is walk slowly around while aiming with it...

In first person your character moves at sprint speed by default when ADS on the Marksman and running (hold a).

 

That's why try-hards generally look like they've just got back from 3 years at sea.

Dos this work on old gen? What does ADS mean?

 

Aim-down-sight, aka aiming.

 

Not on old gen no, you're glued down when using a scope.

not true buddy, they added that "move while scoping" to ps3/360 with the heist update.

[Gridl0k]

Cheers, didn't realise that. I thought it was one of the more fundamental LG-NG differences.

[Feurian42]

Gun is fine, moving with zero interference with your aim needs removed. In fact, this game would be better with BF4 gun mechanics.

it was a newgen thing for a few months, then they added the option during the heist update but it was like a stealth addition as i dont remember ever reading about that on the patch notes.

[Geisterfaust]

R* should remove marksman rifle, jets, homing launcher, passive mode, assault shotgun, stickies, Kuruma, Insurgent, lock-on from air vehicles, explosive cannons, tanks, bulletproof helmets. Is it full list or did I miss something? Please feel free to add whatever you like and create other topics about it.

 

P.S. FFS, don't!

[kitsune25]

no.

[Jerionso]

Yes most of the people who use it can't snipe so they resort to holding down the trigger till someone dies.

[Blasterman4EVER]

No. They should remove the Anus Mafia who prefer the flatulent marksman rifle street dance. Burn. Burn, all of them.

[The Retaliator]

lmao pathetic gets ass kicked makes thread lmao

 

 

"NO" I like having a medium range rifle that has more than 6 shots in it, thanks.

[seven50iL]

How about we just remove combat rolling and moving while sniping? I'm fine the way it is now but I would be interesting to see it that way...

[whats_a_username?]

Then the kids would complain, also some of the Heavy sniper users, because they don't know how to calculate drop.

You still need to aim with it! If they couldn't snipe, how could they possibly use the Marksman rifle then?

 

Only the people who constantly get killed by the Marksman Rifle hate it. Otherwise, there'd be nothing to hate and complain about.

If you can't beat em, join em. Or quit being a bitch.

[Gridl0k]

I do find that the faster the

is oscillating the more amusing the ragdoll effect when they stop my RPG with their happy feet. Edited May 25, 2016 by Gridl0k

[MaddenedGhost]

Why not just buff the heavy sniper instead?

This..

(It was nurfed by the way)

[Gantons Most Wanted]

How about level locking the DLC weapons its kinda bullcrap that somebody starting out can buy the best weapons at like level 3, yet when the majority of us were starting out we couldn't get specific weapons until we reached a certain rank.

You can't defeat Rockstar logic.

You are a goddamn idiot if you use the HRL for players on-foot, use the RPG instead, it has more ammo and is cheaper.

Thanks for bumping a thread from May.

[Zader]

Holy sh*t, this old thread again.

[badnews]

I refuse to use it. I always use my heavy sniper. I dont want cheap kills. I want to have skilled kills. 1 loud shot with an heavy sniper bullet in the head i am more satisfied. Thank you, come again.

This guy knows what its all about. They should definately remove it, should never have added it in the first place, its the noobs favourite weapon because it requires zero skill, take it out and ban anyone who has ever used it.

[_PANiC_]

Just remove the ability to strafe while aiming the snipers and happy days

[budcat]

Favorite gun in game, pvp or pve. Very useful, satisfying look, sexy sound. What's not to love?

 

Tons of cheaper kills in the game than a manual aim, semi-automatic, medium range rifle.
