Phantom Close Combat?

[KarniKing]

im hoping that there are several different types of melee weapons at the phantoms disposal such as a knife for quick stealth kills from behind, or sum sort of plasma sword with a larger range than a knife in case they run into trouble while creeping into a building but wish to remain stealthy

Even better. In a Huxley trailer, an Alternative dual weld shotguns. Imagine dual weilding knives or swords. Maybe a sword in one and a dagger in the other. I hope a dagger and a pistol can be a combo so I can be like Solid Snake.

lol Maybe something in guns? You buy weapons and armor and on the side you have swords, with which you can knockdown enemies and then take out your gun and make a little pool of blood mixed with meat of them. Plus many other abilities like covering yourself from shots with sword =)

I'd rather choose in close combat to have a skill witch triggers when im closer than 10 meters from my enemy and puts me on the nearest building.
Swords would be strange to see hehe and killing an enforcer with your knife from behind is the ultimate kill i guess that enforcer may quit the game. It's just that heavy armor looks so impenetrable.

I think it would be cool if they somehow made the sniper rifle relatively usable at close range too, that would be new :D Otherwise, I want a silenced pistol definetely too, highly customizable.

Nothing new with usable sniper rifles in close range, it just depends on your skills. I mean in Unear Tournament 2004 yo uahve both sniper rifle and lightnign rifle which can do headshots, both of them have zoom in but even a crosshair in close range which means even then you can aim very easyly and it does huge damage. So nothing new to me. Plus other games like in BF it's also about the skill of sniping, you can be very effective with sniper rifle in close range 1 vs 1, one shot with sniper fiel then finish him of with handgun.

rofl...u can't be "very effective" in BF2 with sniper rifle close range...u can get lucky, but its impossible to be effective w/o a crosshair, and if its anything other than another sniper ur screwed unless 1. you planted a mine or 2. you ALREADY have your pistol out, the actual sniper rifle sux close range.

[eclipsedmind]

it's actually pretty easy to snipe at close range with practice but easer with a shotgun.the outcomes of my 1 vs 1 duals is who has a bigger gun well mainly a rocket launcher or sniper rifle.

[Bhoginator]

Well thers no such thing as sniping at close range, since sniping is...well...sniping.
In that case it would be blindfiring.

[InsaneRussian]

Well the range i meant wasn't been as close as shotgun range, it would be the range for any assault weapon and yes if you suck at sniping you wont be able to snipe in close range cause you are too slow, i go close range i see 3 enemies they see me, i tkae them out wil snipe rifle and they hurt me but not much. It's all about skills. You don't need to blind firing ifd you quick enough you manage to hide half of your body behind an obsticle and zoom in take a shot - hit and then finish them off if it wasnt been a headshot.

yeah sry I thought u meant right in the face "sniping," didn't know you meant more like in between close and mid range...and in that case definetely, I consider that to be where sniping is easiest.

[baddb0y93]

i snipe them right in the face between the eyes or in their mouth ..open areas are much easir and are more affective

[Joker_xxx]

Its not impossible to snipe in close range, it just requires higher control of your character, you have to be very precise in what your doing. In Counterstrike for example the team's sniper has to handle many close combat situations, i worked hundreds hours with bots so i could shoot from any position. There is so called "fastzoom" and shoot at the same time but you have to work in order to achieve this, or maybe its native in your case haaa
In few Unreal Tournament games i played, sniper gun works fine in the way i described.

[Guyver]

When playing CounterStrike, the first shot of a sniper rifle without scope is always accurate. Shots after that miss by incredible margins. I hope it won't be like that in huxley. People getting headshot's without a scope really ticks me off.

[Bhoginator]

Yeah I definetely think in a close quarters fight, which I don't mean 50 ft away i mean under 20 feet, a sniper would definetely have to pull out a pistol or a SMG, MG if you waste your points in it, to win by skill. "sniping" under 20 feet is nothing but luck, unless they are running directly at you, but since this is an FPS I don't see that happening

Time will tell us the true version in the end...

In this short movie i see a crosshair for sniper gun (first quarter) and in the end i see the sniper with out it (last quarter), i dont know if its only an option to disable it or if that is really a sniper gun but i also saw that sniper aiming without zoom and killing the mob so i seems it works at least in very short range. Lol if it doenst has range penalty, everybody will play with dot in the middle of the screen or maybe will have a normal crosshair so it wont be needed the dot so in 2 weeks will be patched.

I think ill choose a phantom class to play (wanted enforcer because the lack of this class), its just i decided to play what i like more and i feel comfortable with.
