@CyberDyme Haha, that's indeed a tough one. I can't exactly remember our procon setup (it was a setting we stole from COD MW2's HC Search & Destroy) with the '1 bullet = 1 kill' if it was due to 40% health and no regen or actually the bullet damage itself. I do remember it was every primary, secondary & gadget. Though individual shotgun pellets and long distance shots you would be able to survive. 🙂
Also we played mostly CQB maps, so DMR's with a red dot was a 'thing'... Eventhough I'm more of a support player. I miss my supressed M27-IAR & Claymore combo. No idea if it was ranked btw, I'd still like to earn xp and rank up. 😃
@zenn_nme No problem with DMRs and red dots. For some reason (possibly the way they are advertised in some games and locked to certain classes in others), people link them with sniper rifles. A DMR is realistically just an infantry rifle with the ability to reach out to a slightly longer range (and in modern times usually use something like 7.62 rather than 5.56).
Many in current use were standard infantry rifles in the past (EBR/M14 and SLR or G3).
With something like the SVD, many people consider it to be a sniper rifle (because it is in many games), when it is actually a DMR. As standard the real one comes with a 4x scope, which is only equivalent to an ACOG on an assault rifle.
