You played BC2 long enough to know that's incorrect. 50 cal's did it every time. Naturally hitting a leg will get fuckall. But in the chest should take them down. Not get up and run away to recover health. But the 500m example is extreme, even 50m doesn't do it.
I mean on BF3, later rifles will be different.

This is what I feel like sniping:

 Whenever I see a film with sniping, I fire back onto games like this. Then it's a waiting game. Sitting perfectly still until a victim walks into the scope, then judging distance, height, and factoring in how fast they are running before pulling the trigger. They then stumble, hit the deck, get up and start zig zagging to safety. That upsets me.
Oh, and Leon is a fucking EPIC film.

Yup! when the target is moving horizontally from distance, it's nigh on impossible...
I think the devs have purposely made it shit to snipe to stop it becoming a map full of snipers.

I was just starting to get into it last night, come across a great server with some decent players in my squad for once. By the time i realised it was 1am lol
Hope these new pc server fixes are going to sort out the shitty lag tho.

In bc2 any rifle is a 2 shot kill unless its a head shot or very close range, i have shot and been shot and seen people shot with the 50 including using magnum ammo
snipeing in bf3 is a joke, the pistols suck also. In bc2 the 1911 was pretty hand and took people out with 3 hits in this fuck knows how many it takes
The spawn is total shit, just as you kill somebody and are out of ammo some random spawn on his team mate who is cleary dead and finishs you off. I got spawned in a room with 3 enemy guys shooting at me.
The engineer is way over powered, the map grand bazar is full of engieers spamming rockets
The lasers totaly give away your position
That t-ugs thing for the sniper is fucking usless lol, motion balls where so much better
The aa guns dont hit a plane or choper unless they are really close
I think bc2 is much better, however im looking foward to karkland

One of my biggest gripes atm is the low quality scopes and the fact bullet drop is so overdone.. Plus the bullets travel about the same speed as my piss. Also why are the bullets like fucking flares!!
The scopes in bc2 were a lot better aNd the shooting mechanics were so much better..
Although i have come to realise recon doesnt mean sniper in bf3, i think you need to approach it with a more assault type mentality.
For example, sv98 no scope, quick bolt thing and i was on the frontline killing just as much as everyone else, the map was metro. Granted you have to twitch shoot (look at the vid posted earlier) but once you get the hang of it its not bad.

someone took me out with 1 shot on a core match with the sv98 last night.
In a different game I was trying to snipe on operation firestorm and agree, the bullets travel way to slow, there was another sniper so far away we were both just stepping out of the way of each others shots

There was a bug where you would randomly die by 1 bullet reardless of what gun, although i dont think ive seen it (not as obvious without recording and watching back) it has felt like it a couple of times, i wouldnt be supprised if you experienced that.
But tht said, as i use the sv98 a bit i do get quite alot of 1 hit kills if i aim at face or upper torsos.. But could be luck

i have killed a few people with one shot and the SV98? maybe they were injured beforehand though and not revived yet.
you can turn off the laser and torch extras? or just not have them on if a problem? although the torch on metro is quite good for blinding people.
the one thing which annoys me is the range on shotguns? they are killing me from miles away and also why grenades are all the same colour? why not have friendly ones as green?
also AT mines are way too good, you can plant like 7, and if you die they stay on the floor, you can literally litter them everywhere on the whole map whereas claymores dont seem to stay when you die.

cant remember if they are engineer or support but only a few levels in mate, they are pretty good at taking out vehicles if you litter like 15 around an objective
