Sprinting question

[wihadmin]

Is it me or does different classes have different sprinting durations? I could've swore that as an Engi, I can sprint longer than an Assault which is longer than the Support.

Have you guys notice this?

Yea go under BFHQ and it will tell you the sprinting durations.

Lol wihadmin, did you get killed for it? :P

But yeah, assault sprint sux. Medics can run all day though

Medics deserve a longer sprint. :P
As for snipers, would they even know what sprinting is? :dunno:

Aye medics and Spec Ops have the longest run and the fastest return

Aye medics and Spec Ops have the longest run and the fastest return

actually snipers also run fast and recover fast per the prima guide

[Bonez]

sinpe has longest duration run(draged with a guy to a plane and beat him, he was specops)

but as far as BFHQ is concerned.

all the specialists, med, spc, snipe, engie are long run no armour(and as somthing just odd all caucasion)

all the standard infantry,AT, Assualt, support are low run high armour(and are all african american just as another odd thing)

Sorry I wouldn't know anything about snipers, I don't suck enough to use them.

Yeah, it makes sense that snipers would have to possess the best sprinting ability. They have to be able to run away when they get out sniped by non-sniper weapons. :) (laser scope + single shot mode anyone?)

hehe

Lol, I don't see why the hat3rship toward the sniper. I can understand in games like cs:s 'n such, but from what I've experienced thus far... jeez... it's almost backward.

As Assault, I can get the ratios you've all come to know 'n love from CS:S. But as a sniper, I'm lucky to get a 2:1 and that's just because (for me anyway) it's so hard to stay alive as a sniper.

Yeah, the running is fun and recovers fast. Lord knows that it's gotten me out of a several bad situations, but sheesh! We ain't got no arm0r~! I mean, you get hit HAAAAARD. Ya stub your toe running through the woods and you're dead. Someone looks at you and you're dead. Insane. x.X;

And personally, I can't seem to hit crap with the sniper rifle (but now that I've unlocked the M95 if 'n when I do it -- they die!) I dunno, I <3 sniping in bf2... much more rewarding than in cs:s imo

AHaHAHA!!! that's an awesome observation!

[TrinitronX]

yeah.. i noticed that too XD..
I just got to the Lance Corporal rank, and unlocked the uber sniper rifle... and I'm pretty impressed at the damage it deals so far.. however, all the maps I've played on, I can't seem to hit anything :P. (I did find a few awesome spots on the kubra dam level.. but that map's so dam(n) big (nice pun eh?), that everyone I saw was so far away that I was lucky to get any shots in on them. It was like shooting ants :lol:

The problem is that snipers are retarded in this game and seem to NEVER relocate. They kill 3-5 guys and once they kill a certain guy twice they should relocate because chances are someone is looking for him and probably has a good idea where he is.

Also, I think the AT sprint is atrocious. It runs out in maybe 4 seconds and takes a good 12-15 seconds to return.

The problem with snipers is that they are cowards! They sit on a hill or where ever far away and hide. They dont have the cajonies (or skill maybe) to get down into the real fighting and face their enemy.

Having said that, I do think they have a place in the game just like any other class. I also appreciate them because I love sneaking up on them and knifing them. I just don't have much respect for them. It also doesn't mean I won't pick up a sniper rifle once in a while if it is the right situation. But I won't be getting the medal that's for sure.

But to each his own.

I think it's harder to be a good sniper in BF2 then it was in DCF or POE. This makes the sniper class more fair IMO.

[Tykwer]

when you are selecting your class in the game there are little white/grey bars some where on the kit selection page...how big the white portion is is how long they can sprint.

[wihadmin]

ahhh good info Tykwer.

and it is MUCH harder now since there is no accuracy dot(where the texture is supposed to line up for the scope), but sofar it is much more fun(ragdoll rules) as well as there is no "uber" sniper weapon like there was in DCF(M82A1) and POE(XM109, M82A1).

your more likely to catch me walking around with foot soldiers, setting claymores and capping flags then sitting on some hill trying to farm kills(unless you count "defending a flag from a distance" camping)
