i was wondering if the second sniper unlock is good and is it better than the first sniper unlock?
Oh yeah.
yes IMO the l96a1 rocks.EDIT: i use it way more than the m95 which i think sucks.

I would say worth it if you don't switch to US all the time. It is a good rifle but a little inconsistent at times. I don't know if it's just the patch, or my lag but sometimes hits don't register right. Overall, I'd say it's very good.

i prefer the M95
Unlock it, about the same as M24 (so worthless if you only play US) but way better than MEC or PLA stock.
M95 blows chunks.

The crosshairs on the sight are the thinnest and easiest to line up with.
I love the M24, but the L96A1 is an excellent alternative.
Yeah, its worth it.

Short answer, yes. Long answer, fuck yes. LONGER answer... well you get my drift. I like the L96A1. It looks cool, it's scope is awesome and it has a pretty cool firing sound.
It does have it's downsides too, the thin crosshairs make it dificult for moving target shots, (I find it does anyways,) but for stationary shots you can't wish for anything better. Once you get the hang of the gun's bullet drop you can drop 'em from anywhere.

L96A1 is by my opinion the best sniper rifle... has a bit quicker reload time than the M24, but basically they are the same.
so if you miss the M24 while playing MEC or PLA then unlock the L96A1 it wont let you down.
good luck on the Battlefield

BigmacK192 has got the main point of the L96, the zoomed in cross hair is very thin, more so when compared to the M95.
It is also more accurate than the M95.
The M95 has a zoomed deviation of 0.01
The L96 has a zoomed deviation of 0.005
Yes it is worth getting, but the real question is, is it a better choice than the other unlocks you have not already got?
As you have not posted your stats, and we dont know which citystar you are, it is a little more difficult to give good unlock advice.
I hope this info helps dude.

I think the M95 is the same it just a little less accurate.
definately
I hear you. I was shooting at a sniper last night that had his back turned to me. I was about 50m off and had a perfect headshot, took it, and nothing. I reloaded and took another, nothing. He turned and saw me, I let off 2 more headshots, nothing. He then kills me w/ the MEC sniper rifle while I was reloading. Pissed me off to no end. How can you take 4 headshots and nothing fucking happen? This game is a faggot buggy piece of shit, I swear... truly.haffeysucks wrote:

From what I hear, yep!
definately unlock it if you have all the other key unlocks you want.
Long and short of it, IMHO, if you are looking for a slightly better upgrade to your sniper game then the L96A1 is well worth the cost of the unlock. But keep in mind, like any other unlock, it will not be the quick answer to your game suddenly going way over the top and you achieving General rank over night. Its just a nice upgrade to have in your arsenal. The rest takes time and skill, or if your an asshat a nice aimbot.

I've had that happen as well. But it dosen't happen that often. Probably 1 out of my last 70 or so sniper rifle kills was like this.Jenkinsbball wrote:

my opinion: the 1st (m95) suck balls!!!! the second (l96a1) OWNS!!!!! just to bad i don't got it
Hell yeah. Arguably the best tier-two unlock in the whole game.citystar wrote:

I'm getting it about one shot in seven or eight currently, on average; two or three times in a row ain't uncommon. This is no hit register, no puff of dust, nada.BigmacK192 wrote:
