Oi mateys..

I don't think this will ever really be added to soldat, but I think it's a really cool idea.

You know how you can add sniperline? Well, Imagine if that line crossed a random soldat, and then an alarm would go of on that guys screen. Something like a little red dot would light up or whatever, and he would know he was being sniped? Ofcourse this wouldn't only work with sniperline attached, but it would still follow that particular path.

It would be so cool, and I really think we would start to see people using dodging manouvres alot more

Anyway, it's just a funny thought..

In the real life nobody alarms you about snipers who are ready to fire Â¬Â¬

Haha, it'd be a funny add, so why not. I support.

EDIT: I'm a Barrett hater.

You don't respawn in real life either, and I'm pretty sure they also don't have jetpacks as well.

Sounds too much like a hack to me (though if it was made part of the game, it won't technically be a hack). Especially with the Barrett's delay time, it would get very tedious for the sniper. Although the Minimier inside of me says it's great

Valorman · « **Reply #5 on:** October 04, 2007, 06:05:36 pm »

Kind of stupid and pointless. Err, I don't really support, this wouldn't really improve the game. It takes away the thrill of zooming in on some clueless fool, just seconds away of having his entrails shot clear across the map, followed by a "wtf" from the victim.

What if 5 people aim at you simultaneously.

blackdevil0742 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2007, 05:40:15 am »

I don't like it... kinda messy in my opinion.

You could always change the zoom-in/-out sound on the barett and make it sound like an alarm(*bip!* *bip!*)

Dro · « **Reply #12 on:** October 05, 2007, 08:09:13 am »

In my point of view this alarm thing is done only because so many people hate Barret and they want to make it less powerfull :/

F11 (you can make it less deadfull by editing weapon mode

)

~Niko~ · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2007, 08:12:45 am »

You haven't got enough time to hide when a sniper aims you

.

I'm a

user and this would be bad for me.

KorrupT MerC · « **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2007, 12:30:57 pm »

This is just going to be an argument against barrett users and barrett haters, IMO...

F11, the whole reason the barrett is the way it is, IS in FACT... because its a sniper rifle, now lets take a moment to think about that and what the purpose of a sniper rifle is...

.... Enough thought yet?...

... ok, now a sniper rifle is a slow-loading, long range weapon, its advantage, you guessed it, long range, its disadvantage, your on a roll, its slow loading.... now how much more balanced can it be for being what its supposed to be?!?!!

This 'alarm' would be stupid, it would just make the whole sniper rifle basically useless for its primary purpose, better off saying 'take the barrett out of the game'

Someone is being sniped ...or... someones is going to get sniped!

echo_trail · « **Reply #18 on:** October 07, 2007, 12:30:30 am »

So the sniper's supposed to actually give up his pos. by taunting? Nah, it's no way.

Anyway, seems people aren't too fond of my fantastic suggestions. Â¬_Â¬

Taunt "^hey you are getting sniped!!!" ... LoL

Try to read the topic ffs... no, just read it.

Mitak · « **Reply #20 on:** October 09, 2007, 06:30:03 am »

If Barrett had a laser, I would agree with the idea - the monitor might become red when the laser is on you.
But since there is no laser in Soldat, just a sniper LINE, I don't agree.
Plus, sniper lines are disabled on most servers

Spasm · « **Reply #21 on:** October 09, 2007, 07:20:50 am »

I don't think it would help at all. The barrett shot is so fast that you wouldn't even have time to react. I could only imagine how many times that alarm would be going off in an 8 on 8 Snipe & Slice match

(shameless self promotion, I know).

Simply change the snipe-delay sound to an alarm. Simple.

f11.

Stop spamming!!! Instead of saying F11 add a reason!

It's a bit wierd of an idea i mean it takes the fun out of camping people would know they were being sniped therefore it takes the fun out of camping

viceroy · « **Reply #26 on:** October 20, 2007, 12:34:59 am »

You call that spamming? My, you need to refresh yourself on internet terminology, son. Besides, i dont need to add a reason backing my opinion when it has already been expressed by various users in the thread.

Save your breath kiddo. I dont take orders from my peers.

Xxypher · « **Reply #27 on:** October 20, 2007, 12:38:45 am »

F11, it would ruin gameplay harshly.

.Ryan. · « **Reply #28 on:** October 21, 2007, 10:06:13 am »

It would be useless, you would be dead anyway before you could react

nEsCafE_dUdE · « **Reply #29 on:** October 22, 2007, 08:46:31 pm »

I think KorrupT MerC right... the snipers already balanced... so if u put that idea in the game, the sniper rifle would be useless in the primary weapons..

I Guess this idea not going to work...

O.R.I.O.N. · « **Reply #30 on:** October 23, 2007, 10:54:18 am »

The last thing we need is a standard laser sight visible to everyone for the Barrett. Honestly, if you're so concerned about it, mod the in-game rifle to have it's own "sniper line" so you can see if you're being aimed at.

echo_trail · « **Reply #31 on:** October 23, 2007, 11:23:37 am »

I am not so concerned about it. I just thought I'd be a cool idea to bring up. Obviously I was mistaking.. Hell, most the idea brought up in here are doomed before the author even thinks about them.

Xaero · « **Reply #32 on:** October 27, 2007, 07:56:41 am »

F11, you would go crazy from the idiot sounds/effects all the time..

Aarni Valkea · « **Reply #33 on:** October 27, 2007, 03:17:43 pm »

Agreed to the fact that the sniper has a scope instead of a laser. And it would make the gameplay a bit more complicated and messy. Even with a laser, you won't be running around looking down to your chest, waiting for a red dot to appear.

"Hey Michael! There's a red dot on your back!"
"LoL where?"
"Right the-"
BOOM
"Mikey..?"

There's really no point for this. Waste of coding time and serves little purpose and will affect game-play. No support.

echo_trail · « **Reply #36 on:** October 28, 2007, 01:16:40 pm »

OKAY! SO I WAS WRONG! Just let it die allready..

valion · « **Reply #37 on:** October 30, 2007, 03:48:19 am »

if you mean, when someone uses the sniper line option which makes it easier for them to play, then yes id like to see this so they dont have an unfair advantage over people who dont like using the sniper line (besides the sniper line doesnt take into account the curve of a bullets path).
if the sniper lines ment to be a laser sight or similar device then yeah this should happen

crazydude360 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 04, 2008, 04:58:48 pm »

it would be funny to watch people do the "sniper dance" like in halo but it would totaly nullify the retta (with i happen to own at and would hate to see it go)

Hershey · « **Reply #39 on:** January 04, 2008, 05:37:05 pm »

it's cool but i dont like that..

I use barret
