Apologies in advance if this has been posted before.  I made several searches and could not find a thread with the same problem I have been experiencing.

I recently unlocked the L96A1 Special Forces sniper rifle.  But for some reason, every single shot I fire (standing, crouched, or prone), lands well below where the crosshairs are.

These pictures are not from in game, but it gives you a general idea as to what I experience ONLY using that sniper rifle.  The M24, M95, and others work just fine and land more or less where the crosshairs are.

This is where the shot lands, with me standing (bear in mind,  this is at any range.  I fired at a wall only 10 meters away, and it was this drastic.  Imagine firing at a target at long range)

This is where it lands with me crouched, roughly.

And with me prone

Like I said this is from any range, but obviously it gets worse as range increases.   I registered here hoping someone could help me out with this problem, as me using an unlock on the L96 seems wasted now since I can't hit many targets with it.  I've gone back to using the m24 and m95 in the mean time.

I will post in game screen shots if you guys want to see in more detail the problem I am experiencing. 

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

it's just ea's crosshairs being off, you have to correct your aim for it.

I thought that too until he said he was firing from 10 meters away. It doesn't drop in 10m

Done


And here is an in game screen shot.  Upon further testing,  each shot lands in roughly the same spot, whether I am standing, crouched, or prone. (marked by the red dot)

I was roughly 15 meters away from this wall.

Every other setting is set to high.   4X anti-aliasing, view distance 100%

that is highly odd

somehow i doubt that simple screen res would make THAT huge of a difference


one question, is it possible for you to make a tiny video of you shooting? it's not that i don't believe you, but maybe we could find something that's going on

Ok I followed the guide on this website on how to make a video.  Used fraps and windows movie maker.

I uploaded it to youtube.  This is a link to the movie.   Sorry for the quality, but I think you can tell from the movie that whether I am standing, crouched, or laying down, my shot lands well below the cross hair.
