DefCon-17: Maple Syrup Faggot; +362|6373|Vancouver | Canada

If I recall correctly, we had a thread like this for BF2 as well, and now that Caspian Border is playable, let's get some friendly competition going for BF3 too.

I'm not sure how to take screenshots (though I do see a BF3 screenshot folder), so I don't have any proof, but my furthest so far was 656m.

Shoot.

Confirmed:
1. Naturn: 972m
2. DefCon-17: 729m

Unconfirmed:
1. Reciprocity: 700m
2. Finray: 280m

I'll update this as results come in.

We had one for BC2, don't think BF2 recorded distance on kills...

EDIT: And shouldn't we try to avoid encouraging sniping?

NO WE SHOULDN'T

I gave up on a screenshot key for BF3 and just decided to run Fraps, and managed to snag this beauty.

I love how I'm third with only 4 kills, just sitting around with a sniper rifle and a bipod.

I really hope they plan on putting distance markers under maps, and also the "attack here" command with the meter marker for squad leaders. That made long distance sniping a lot easier in BF2, if you knew what tick to use at what range.

Wait, can you actually adjust scopes now? or do you mean the markings on the scope reticule?

I tried sniping on Caspain, found it really fucking hard. Was sitting just outside the RU deployment, trying to snipe into the US deployment. Couldn't figure out how high to aim cause the tracer kept disappearing it was so far away. Fired 66 shots, hit with 1.

On Metro I got a 280m though.

Just the markings. If I remember correctly, 100m was half, 150 was one, 200 was two and a half...or around that anyways.

I think it is harder than BF2 though, mostly because of the massive bullet drop, and the bullets seem to travel slower. I am hoping there's a graphic setting which let's you extend how far you can see the tracer go, because I was having that problem too.

Is there still a trail on sniper rifles like in BC2 where you see the bullets trajectory if a sniper shoots at you?

You guys should take a SS just before you pull the trigger too.

okay I should probably find it out myself ,but how high were you aiming for the second one?

Between the 2nd and 3rd line on the 12x scope.

Holy fuck.

I was trying to hit guys at the US base, but like I said earlier, it seems like the tracer just disappears.
..or does it actually hit where it disappears?

The round is still there. If it hits anything other than dirt then it won't make any more or dust cloud. Sniping the chopper pilots out at distance is hilarious.

Add another few meters to the record.

So it hits where it disappears, no matter the range?

You just can't tell. I have a hunch that 1000M is the cap though. I've tried to shoot farther than that and I could even come close to hitting anything. I might give it another go tomorrow.

Reciprocity: Member; +721|6798|the dank(super) side of Oregon

i've been playing around with the sv98 with the 12x glass and so far about the farthest kill, which happened to be a headshot, i've got was 700 meters/yards/whatever the fuck units they're using. Beyond that the trace of the bullet seems to disappear and i can't hit anything. and i've sat there at the far end of the map shooting at chopper whores working my way down that ballistic ladder but i get nothing.

does the little 7.62 bullet actually disappear when the tracer is no longer visible?

and how the fuck do you take screenshots? do you have to keep the game windowed or some shit?

I do like the ballistics in this game. it's fun dropping rounds on guys taking cover behind rocks.

I did this on xbox playing metro. First area, dude is on the US spawn side, I'm on russian spawn side, I knew he was there but a rock was in the way, so I just shot over the rock and got like a 250m kill for it

I think its totally funny because the M98 is still in its development stage. They should have added the M107 and made it to were the user couldn't fire unless they would prone.

Isn't that the same with the XM8 in BC2? I don't even think that ever made it past prototype stage?

Yes, they only made a hand full of the XM8 and its varients. The XM8 design was based off of the G36.
