If your anything like the way I have become, your probably the same in that you are just plain used to the flickering, I can still see it, I just know the trick to hit people when they flicker like that. That, or you host a lot.
But ADM, it has been a while since we have met or played with each other. I was originally in your first clan, but that was a long time ago. Unlike you I just stayed in Renegade and kept playing, over time I just got used to all the problems with sniping. I get banned all the time, clanwars suck, and all that kind of stuff. I would be interested in fixing it if you are, but from my own experiences, no one cares anymore.

I messed up the sniper mod on crimson79 but I haven't been all that eager to fix it because it was empty in full RG mode anyway. I'd gladly get it fixed and back online if you want. You can even be a moderator, ADM.
I'm the bawss.

They don't accuse him of cheating, though. They accuse him of being an annoying fuck that does nothing but "snipe". I think he always uses a hawkeye. Seriously, what kind of player are you when all you want to do is kill against the odds? The other day I was in a game, I think it was warrior nation on c&c hourglass, and when we had nothing except one building left there were about six snipers; three on either side of the hilltop doing nothing but shooting poor basic soldiers instead of get a beacon and finish the game. And they all used ramjets. That's BS, I'd never do it no matter how much I like "sniping" in this game. Would these people appreciate it if they were on the victimous side?
ADM, I think a lot of people use cheating as an excuse and half of them don't actually think you are cheating. But they want rid of you because you can kill everyone without a problem whereas they can't get a shot in. It gets bad when people start doing quirky things, like hiding behind walls and doing that "jump and fire while in the air" thing or flicker. I leave the game if people like this are in, because they aren't playing honorably.
Also, I see people talking about sniping as skill all the time but you know, there's yet to be a single renegade player that can score a very good kill death ratio with, say, a shotgunner or chemical soldier.

I've done plenty good in matches with just being a shotgunner the whole time. I've taken out dozens of 1000 cred characters with them. On maps like Fields, Complex, Canyons, where there is a lot of tunnel traffic, I can keep up with the snipers with a shotgun if I were to choose it. It's very possible.

=gbull=[L]=]you cant possibly have a good k/d ratio in a Regular AOW ONLY using a shotgunner.

Versus vehicles no, but versus infantry sure you can, depending on the map as I mentioned. Their 98% useless on City, Walls, Glacier, or any other large map, but if you are needing to guard tunnels for cheap they kick major tail. Trust me, once you master popping out from behind a wall and betting a headshot with the shotty, you'll be amazed what you can do.

I don't get why those "great" snipers don't use the rail gun. You can rape vehicles then also. I always prefered the rail gun anyway b/c sniping isn't fun.

Pic/railgun are instant hitters and have a high range. You can kill most people easily.
Now if you claim to be "skilled" at the game, you claim to be good with any weapon or vehicle. skill is when you judge a grenade across half the map to hit a moving soldier in the head. skill is judging an artillery shell to hit bang on a distant soldier. skill is being able to take out two superior vehicles with a weaker one. but skill sure isn't bodyshooting soldiers the entire game
