<div class="IPBDescription">Marine weapons</div>Is there going to be a sniper rifle in the mod.
I hate snipers they should be forbidden by law.

The level 3 flying alien may end up turning out like a sniper. Or so I've heard.

And yes, there are lots of little dark hiding places for aliens to ambush you from.

If you did a search on "sniper rifle" or "weapons," you'd find that the current equipment list includes:
light machine gun
heavy machine gun
shotgun
grenade launcher
pistol
knife
mininuke
(possibly flamethrower, but not first release).

You can also check out www.natural-selection.org or www.readyroom.org for Questions like this.  There's been a lot of talk about sniper rifles; NS is all about close quarters fighting, and a sniper rifle would be essentially useless.

Oh... I see.

No, I don't believe there are any plans for a <i>human</i> sniper rifle in the game. I guess anything is possible, but I highly doubt it.

NS is way to indoors and close quarters too have a sniper rifle.  I'm 99.99999999% flay will NOT put a sniper rifle into the game.

It would be a bit pointless to put a sniper rifle in the game.  I do recall hearing somewhere that the LMG has, or is going to have a slight zooming capacity, either that or it's my overactive mind.  If there is I'd imagine it would zoom the same as the commando or aug from CS, not very much.

Honestly, playing around in Bast/Hera, I don't see any points at which it would be preferable for a marine to snipe, other than mow down aliens with something a little more automatic. Aliens are too quick, and close-quarters combat is all I've seen.

Also, the point of a sniper rifle is "one shot, one kill" and unless NS implements a Red Faction style Big Mama Railgun your not going to kill an NS alien in one shot.

As this is about weapons:
How is the recoil/accuracy handled here? Is it pretty much wherever you point the bullets'll spread around that area?

(checked in search but got nada).
