xsniperx Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Ok I was just wondering what kind of sniper rifle like weapons are going to be avaliable. I know that the best one will most likely be made by crafters, but are there any besides those? I know that i read somewhere that there will be sniper rifle weapons in the game. Also is there a max range on how far you can shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILENT_ASASSIN Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 there will be sniper rifles and they may only shoot 64m anyways POOP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Darko Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I think the max range is 64 meters. And if you are looking for what kind of rifle you want I suggest going to official Star Wars websites that contains information from the movies and expanded universe. I personally would go with pen & paper RPG sites because they have loads of information on weapons and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 I think it's only blasters that shoot 65 meters, sniper rifles got a long range i thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 maybe...or they may be very accurate and have a very low rate of fire. One shot one kill type stuff. Maybe even a heavy penalty for firing while moving on this gun...where as the hand blaster will face a relitively minor penalty for moving.

With a low shoot rate, but a very strong gun if used correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damarius Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 i just hope they make the weapons pwerful enough cause if they dont a rifleman will have a big disadvantage. The brawlers could just run up fast and make mince meat of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xx_Patman_xX Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 I think the system of Mele vs Range will be one of the most interesting battles in SWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Spaso Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 i wonder if a master crafter will be able to customize how far a weapon will shoot..............i.e. breaking the max range (64m) on a sniper rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx_Patman_xX Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I would imagine range is one of the things you change during the experimination period of crafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Originally posted by Xx_Patman_xX I think the system of Mele vs Range will be one of the most interesting battles in SWG. For some reason I think alot of brawlers are going to be fairly suprised when they get killed quickly while trying to rush across an open battlefield...but if it's going to be an ally fight they'd deffinatly get a good chance...personally tho I'm not going to risk that crazyness of brawling (a friend of mine is tho...Brawling Trandoshan...but not me...no way). I'd rather stick with my nice carbine than be picked off easily on a Tatoinne battlefield. I figure I might get a nasty suprise once or twice when a good brawler sucessfully sneaks up behind me...but that's just a given...there's no use in denieing that one.

Xx_Patman_xX Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Most people are probably gonna make the mistake of getting mele or range and not a little of both. Iam definetly gonna get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Vessen Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Sorry my last post was off topic but it would be cool if you could change the range to break the 65 meter barrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Darko Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Yeah...that does seem pretty short range...I mean what's the fun if you have this awesome rifle and you can't stand waayyy back picking people off? Then again...it does kind of force them to be right in the battle to add to the "fun factor." I don't know...I think it should be extended.

Xx_Patman_xX Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I agree, range should be somewhere in the low 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Neutral Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 yeah 65 does seem a bit short. i was actually thinking more like around 100... but anyway if it got too far then you'd have to worry about dip... but then again you really wouldn't because in star wars you don't really use bullets... but i guess shots would be really off if they were too far away... unless you were some sort of freak. Mind you in Jedi Knight 2, the sniper rifle in that (forget the name) does got pretty car, and it's pretty accurate. But that's a completely different concept for the snipering... so i don't know... just have to wait until the game comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
