Crysis 2 Demo Sniping

[N3vans]

Does anyone else think that sniping in the demo is a tad overpowered? I wouldn't consider myself '1337' at shooters, even though they're what my games library predominantly consists of, but I'm regularly finding I'm getting 20/1-3 K/D ratio when I'm playing online as a sniping class.

Do you think they'll nerf some of the sniping elements when the full game comes out? I'm not complaining, far from it, I have a wonderful pattern of cloak-decloak-fire-cloak-relocate going on which does wonders for my score. Especially effective when you have suppressors on everything and the perk which lets you use the cloak quicker.

Discuss?

I think they should be bolt action, or just fire slower. I hate running around and getting shot, nearly killed, and while I'm running and looking around, getting shot again.
I mean, come on, we have frakking nanosuits!

Yeah I find that when on the business end of another sniper, if you get hit anywhere except the head and don't put armour mode on and find cover in about a second the second shot merks you.

I thought it was fine, only thing that annoyed the hell out of me, was the first shot would often not do anything, seriously, I would shoot at a guy's head, who was on a mounted gunning position, nothing, not even a hit indicator, I shoot him again immediatly after in the same spot, boom headshot.

Just to clarify, Xbox, PS3 or PC? Since I've never seen anyone exceed a KDR of 7 in the PC one and I've played a lot of games

Well 20/1 was my best round, but to be fair I was a rank 10 in a server of mostly rank 2 or 3s. More usually I'll get around 16/3 or 4 in other matches. Oh and I'm on the PC version.

I like to run and gun, so snipers are naturally my worst enemy.

When I finally come across one, though, it feels great to watch them frantically shoot in my direction as I dance around them and they wonder why their fucking "OMG SO ACCURATE!" shit doesn't work when I'm running circles around them.

Also, downloading demo now, haven't played it yet.

You might be surprised, because of the cloaking element snipers have a very good edge. Still doesn't account for much if you get up close and personal like you mentioned. Oh and I think you'll enjoy the melee kills, when cloaked sneak up behind someone and press the melee button, you'll either slit their throat or snap their neck w/ animation.

Hardly regularly

Even so, to hit consistent 4+ KD/R is pro-level

still need to answer me though on what platform, I reckon it makes a huge difference (My K/D in CoD4 xbox was over four and less than 2 in PC, that much of a difference)

Just edited ^ but to reiterate I'm on PC. I wouldn't say it's pro level, I've just been lucky in timing my cloaks and getting the best vantage points on the map. I've been finding in the past few days that more people have been playing it and the snipers nests I've been using before aren't as effective any more because people know about them more.

I found sniping to be almost pointless. You die sooo easily in Crysis 2, you could just as easily snipe with the scar and have no trouble. I liked it better when Max Armor was automatic. Crysis 2 is more about a minigame to keep your energy up than actual fun FPS silliness.
