is the gunnery a bit funky on this?  I don't see bullet impacts and the m24 seems to be weak at best.  I took several close center mass shots on folks with little effect.  It's like you need to die 4 times to gunfire before you actually die.

objects in aim point may be farther than they appear?

dunno but i was putting the crosshairs dead on them and they were not moving.  It sure looks like it takes quite a bit to take someone down as in several center mass shots with a m24.

As a sniper, you must score a headshot to kill with one round.

...otherwise you might as well name the game "Sniper War."

I tried it out.  Not bad.  Its come a long way since Bf1942.  The only thing I have wrong with it is the m203.  It is WAY too weak IMO.

Battlefield 1942 was never meant to be realistic - just fun. I think it succeeded.

This has the same feel - but the graphics are amazing. The water effects alone are something to behold. Running on a X800XT PE here.

San Andreas has a bit of a competitor for my computer time...

I didn't enjoy it at first, but starting to get into it.  It does take an awful lot of shots to kill someone.  Unless it's long range i just fire the m203 and watch them fly.:D

I've been split about 50/50 with assault/special forces.  The other kits don't  really interest me.

ya, snipers are almost pointless since you have to hit someone dead on at least 4 times to get a kill.  Seems like the best way to get kills is things that go boom or just hose them down point blank.
