Socom is just unpredictable, i got someone from 145 with a SR-25 and then i couldnt hit them when they were 85 with a silencenced SR-25.

im not pissed i got killed, i couldnt care less. im pissed because the game doesnt adjust the scale for all guns, the rage on an mk48 in life is nowhere NEAR that of an m16, but in this game, its relatively close. its rather ridiculous.

Yeah, and in real life a sniper rifle can obviously shoot MUCH farther than any assault rifle, but in the game they aren't much different, but who really cares? It's just a game and it isn't supposed to be 100% realistic. All of the guns in the game are meant to be versatile, most of them have decent range, and they can all kill close range.

if this is the attitude whats the point in ranking the guns in terms of abilities if they are all going to be the same then? there should be strengths and weaknesses to each according to real life counterparts, but scaled down to fit the game. this is the attitude with everyone around here, OO THERE IS LAG BUT HEY ITS FREE, no, counterstrike there isnt an ounce of lag online. the guns should be adjusted to scale, no one should be sniping with an mk48, as a matter of fact, no one should be running and jumping full steam with them.

i hope future incarnations of this game are a bit mroe realisitic than this arcade shoot em up.

I'm positive it was an m16. Try it for yourself. I was on the hill coming from terrorist spawn 2 and i was going towards the lake. I stopped on the hill and shot a tree that was 130 meters away.

dude, really, all you do is complain and blame everything on lag. check your damn connection. stop playing on dial up. i dont see all this lag you speak of when i play. yea, sometimes people dont die on time but what are you going to do. just play. also, you cant hit someone 120m away with a hk5 or f90, so not every gun can reach everyone. i could see if you said you got popped with a 226 or f57, but it was a heavy machine gun. i bet i could hit someone with a m60 from some distance

Who cares about range? Some strange things happened to me today i was in a ruined buliding planting the bomb on Harv. Terrorist Demo i went under a ledge a grenade landing on the floor above me and killed me. Then the next game i was on the citadel roof i jumped off kilos someone hit the ground and didn't die. It was a very odd day for socom today. Also we wared a clan of russisans that camped with sr-25's and ghillies.

Crazy... That now confirms my theory that everyone's copy of Socom has different max ranges. Like I said my M16 shows bars after 120m. I've seen some people say 122, 124, 125, etc... Did anyone else ever notice this?

I'm pretty sure the MK is a heavy machine gun that's meant to be used to run around with..hence it's ability to put a rifle laser and front grip on it, unlike the M60 which is used for cover fire and holding down an area like a hallway.

You know the turrets on vehicles? Well, the MK.48 is basically a handheld version. It's a heavy machine gun, high power + long range.

What the guy did is entirely possible, and he was either extremely skilled, or extremely lucky.

OK obviously you know nothing of the MK.48, In the army it is called an M249 S.A.W (Squad Automatic Weapon). The sights are zeroed for 300m. On the familiarization course the furthest target is at 700m. The only thing you can use is the iron sights. I would Know all about this weapon since I carried it in Iraq.
