Modern War Addendum

While playing yesterday I remembered one of the points which was apparently replaced: sniper rifles. It is absolute nonsense that someone can one hit kill you with a sniper rifle. If you get shot in the head, okay. But there should be no difference being hit with an assault gun and a sniper rifle in the chest. Even more frustrating is "quick scope snipers" that run around and one shot kill you. They have unlimited range, one hit kill and only have to aim at you. In comparison to a shot gun which has a tiny range, and won't kill unless you hit dead center.

Also I experienced another moment of extreme latency when I knifed a guy, completed the whole animation and saw blood, but he didn't die. When he killed me I saw he was actually laying down and I knifed into thin air.

This will be my last rant about MW2.
