The one-shotters

We're not nerfing our snipers... why don't you become a sniper yourself? Even the starter sniper will instant kill on headshot.

 

When I started playing I had 20fps max with the lowest render distance and optifine. I was happy getting scores like 6-4.
At that time I only used snipers, because they could sometimes 1 shot someone. If they were to nerf these guns, people with horrible lag won't be able to get those kills as easy as they do now..

 

I run smooth on 25 FPS, so 40 FPS is no complaint. And if you already got the Dissassembler, you basically got them all.

 

I believe there is a lot of controversy in this topic, however I don't think changes are necessary.
Snipers are very powerful for a reason, as they are in real circumstances.

Here is some advice I can give you when dealing with someone using these weapons:

• I recommend not running to the middle of the map - most snipers tend to pick off players who are willing to give them an easy shot.
• Strafing. Simply jumping or moving side-to-side can be enough to sway a sniper from their aim.
• Shifting is useful to give a sniper the blind-eye.
• Flanking is a good strategy to kill snipers, getting them away from their spot. When a sniper is loop-holed, it is hard for them to return with ease.
• Match their strengths! Use a sniper - as a person who uses one, I find it very scary to deal with others who use them as well. I never know when I will get one-shot or not. It forces me to take cover or fall back, which brings me to my next point:
• Take cover. Snipers look for the easy way out. Try hiding behind a 2x2+ cover so it is hard for a sniper to tell where you are. Shifting will optimize this strategy. Jumping and shooting over your cover will maximize the effectiveness.
• Falling back is a good way to take a breather, think out your route to take in the map, what cover you can use, and how you can kill the sniper! Rushing things may often lead to mistakes.

Installing Optifine, closing background applications (running only Minecraft) and closing browsers will ultimately lead you to better FPS. When dealing with Internet lag, avoid streaming/watching videos or Skyping while playing.


I hope this helped you!

 

Lmao that isn't true

 

You say "It isn't fair for newbs like me." The L118a can one shot, and it's a free login gun. Your point? I don't see it.

Body shots aren't instakills, only headshots are. You killed someone with low health.

 

One shot guns are a part of the game. I like them

 

Disa is not a one-shot body shot.
Do you have any idea why people whould complain about ISO if disa had better firerate, clip size, reload time, and equal damage?

 

The only sniper that always one shots is the L120_Isolator. The only sniper that comes close to a one shot is the Barrett 50cal which does 9 hearts of damage. According to the wiki, player HP values are at 100 for 10 hearts. Barrett does 93 damage. And the isolator does 107 damage. And the isolator has its cons like the clip size is the smallest on any sniper and the reload time is good for the amount of power it possesses. Sure it's ammo capacity could be decreased, but that's up to the coders and admins. Keep the isolator the way it is now, maybe it'll be changed in 2.0

 

I hate it when I die on my 5818373818 ks

It's what happens when an admin makes Shipment infect

 

We wouldn't nerf the snipers because if you became a sniper how would you like to have your guns nerfed and level up slower, That is why we wouldn't do it

 

Were you at full health when this happened? And what gun was he using? That may have played a part in the amount of damage it did.

 

If you did it at point blank range, then it would one shot because a non-headshot does 9.5 hearts of damage. At a farther distance, no. Most sniper fights will never happen at point blank range anyway.

 

Nope. Even with 100+ frames, the guns are interpreted the exact same. Even on my old PC with 2GB of RAM and 2.0GHz, it interpreted every shot the same way.
