The gun itself is great, I love it. But now I'm really trying to get good with it, the same problem keeps happening over and over again. I shoot a guy in the head, and the bullet hits the wall quite a way above him.
The only reason it's so annoying is that I know I'm lined up exactly on the guys head, but they just aren't hitting!
I mean, I'm sure it's a lag problem, but do any of you have this same problem, and have a work around to it? The only way I can see is to hold my shot for a millisecond longer, and that's going to get me killed.
If you get shot while aiming, your gun drops, but I noticed it then for a quick second aims up as it the game I guess realigns your aim. So maybe you are in this small frame of time.
This happened to me so much against RAAM. Both with the sniper rifle, and also with the Torque Bow.. I would rev it up, get shot, and fire and it would miss him, and the Kryll would stay with him... BLAH!
Yea this happen to me also. I think it is all connection speed and ping from other players, Before i start every match i shot 1 shot at the ground to check my connection speed. But the weak is every player is running around on a different connection speed so there is a couple of players that get lucky and don't get there head blown off.
Every time I shoot the rifle when I'm not zoomed in, it zooms in for the split second when I squeeze the trigger and it misses. I only use the sniper for close combat now. It also does a lot of melee damage.

Don't all the weapons do the same melee damage? No matter what weapon I use, it always takes 2 blows to down an opponent!?!?

i think they do but some are faster than others and have better reach.

Really? I never noticed that!
i think its like that i always down people faster with the sniper or pistol. its always two hits but the time to make those two hits are much faster with the sniper or pistol compared to lets say shotgun. Â

You are correct, the only weapons that don't take two melee hits to down (without your opponent being damaged already) are the Lancer (obviously), frags (again, pretty obvious), and the Hammer of Dawn (takes 3 hits). Some do have better melee reach (like the sniper rifle) and some seem to be a bit faster (like the pistol), and some make a cool sound when you hit your opponent (like the torque bow), but the damage is pretty much the same.

well i haven't played the actual game but i have seen my brother do some really great things in the game like kill a bot on two players and slaughter the bot, that was marvelous and also some of the best kinds of graphics display I've ever seen.
Its like this for most games online because of lag. Just learn to compensate. I actually try to go for the neck, it hits them but sometimes it wont bust them open but it is better than missing most of the time.

Try hosting your own game. That might help.

yeah hosting would help, but he's talking about shooting while moving i believe. it makes your shot do crazy stuff and go no where near where you aim.
it is not lag. You cannot move while shooting the sniper because your bullet will go everywhere cept where you aimed. You have to stand still or shoot from behing cover. I like it cuz you got to be real quick to get headshots. This sniper is not like the halo 2 one. Haha i cant tell you how long it took me to readjust from halo 2 to the gears of war sniper
