[Poll] Bring Back the .70 Rifle?!

[MegaDeuce]

Snipers, rifle-lovers, which rifle did you prefer?

-The .70 rifle, which was almost perfectly accurate?

-The .75 rifle, which is randomized and leaves headshots to chance?

VOTE OR DIE.

[Priok]

I don't really mind, maybe something in between would be good

[Articsledder]

Yeah, this would be good. I myself don't really have any issues with the current rifle unless I'm trying to shoot someone who is literally at fog range.

I do... for some reason i find myself emptying clips and doing 0 damage all the time. It wasnt alwayse like this.

[MegaDeuce]

Yeah the "fake clips" thing really needs to be dealt with... but I don't think that's an accuracy thing.

@ArticSledder... but all the best sniping IS at fog distance :)

[ChaosTLW]

IT IS NOT CLIP IT IS MAGAZINE GODDAMN.

Yep yep.
But i always kill someone in the fog range D:
And on Twitter Ben siad that he will fix the accuracy, fire rate and stuff, basically balance it all over again. :)

[Frostified]

OP:
The rifles are actually still the same, it's just those god damn rubber bullets and god damn packet loss.
Either that or Me, Tiki, tGM, Enari etc. are really lucky :P.

IMO, I'd rather have the 0.52 rifle. That beast was more accurate than the world clock.
Bad news though, ben will be changing the accuracy on the weapons ;_;. I pray it'll only be on SMG and shotgun.
Tbh, cone-firing/randomized-damaged could work well with the SMG.

Whaa? What do you think "better accuracy model" means? It means that the bullets don't hit where you aim them, but they get randomized so that they'll go more-or-less where you aim.

In other words, the rifle is now randomized like the SMG is, but with a tighter grouping.

I think he means the rubber ammo.

oh well that isnt what i meant, i meant the bullet spread dodges the target. Generaly, rubber bullets are only problems on arena servers since only the first bullet tends to be like that usually.

Strange... I have noticed anything like that.

[MegaDeuce]

To be fair, I have no frikkin clue if "better accuracy model" even refers to the rifle :p

[Tek2]

Honestly I would just want a pinpoint accurate rifle, not some 0.70 compromise.
If it's overpowered you could just nerf magazine size and rate of fire.
