BF2S Forums another m95 question

I´ve been overrun several times while playing sniper and also shot on my enemy from about 2-3m but there never were any one shot kills. I know that most of the time I hit as I get kill assists shortly after.

It could just be that they were damaged before hand. Even a slight fall that knocks off 2 bars is enough to make it a 1 hit kill for you. I doubt there's a multiplier or something depending on the distance to the target.

On a side note, I've actually been able to correct my aim by different factors depending on my ping and the enemies ping in game. Higher ping = gotta lead the target more. Once I played as sniper with a 200 ping. I would have to lead the target well ahead and literally shoot 1 second before they ran into my crosshairs. I would shoot and just wait, and magically there'd the crosshairs giveaway that I hit something. It felt good. But know I know why sometimes miss players that look like they are completelly still. It could be that right when I shot is when they started moving again and because of lag there's is a conflict in the shot there.

On an even more side note, Tigg@lot's badger signature is fricking cool and makes me laugh each time I see it.

Under 100 metres you should aim for the neck area.  Where in fact it hits them in the head with the M95.

not exactly ^ this guy just spawned and i took the shot after he ran towards the APC.  1 shot to the chest wipped out tons of guys i killed with the m95.  Strange believe it or not.  (ripley's believe it or not line lol)

well if i film how i shoot ppl will you believe me?

yeah, I have to interject...

I had a guy spawn directly in front of me  while I was trying to cap a flag and I shot him in the back point black with the M95... one shot kill... so I have to say from my own experiences its more than possible. I understand the whole M95 damage of 95, yada yada... just telling you what happened. and no, I didn't 'accidentally' shoot him in the head. a fluke perhaps?

I can't rule it out, but I seriously doubt there are distance factors associated with other parts of the body than the head.  What I guess is happening is that while on your screen it appears you're firing at the body, the server is actually interpreting it as a headshot, whether due to lag or just way the models are being displayed at that instance in time.

But because there's no marks on the bodies or Unreal voiceover that screams "Headshot!" you'll never really know, but I think this is more likely than some sort of distance factor being included.

its happened to me too at spawnpoints and on a number of occasions...

It could just be that the lousy accuracy the M95 experiences sometimes turns your chest shot into a head shot. The only true 1 hit kill in the game is with the knife... and even then, i've hit people before but the damage doesn't register.

just aim for the head coz mostly the enemy is distracted because he is shooting ur teammates

i still think sometimes i get a 1 shot kill with the m95 . that cross hair is no where near the head

The cross hair have to be a little bit over the head, and then headshoot!!!!
