Hi, I am Sir Gunny (also has a pseudonym, as you see), moderator and beta tester for SD2... Gosh darn it, I just got soldat and its the most generous shareware I've ever seen!

I am a camper by nature, but also use Spas and AK, and I was wondering what the "sniper mode" was in the manual. Is there a scope on the light fifty and if so, how do you use it?

I don't wanna start a another sniping debate, but I couldn't help but notice that there was a thing going on about how not running out to face the world is... dishonorable. But do those people know how to switch to a secondary weapon?

If you crouch or go in prone mod ( laying on stoumach ) Keep moving your mouse foreward and the scope will extend your view of the soldat area.

But it differes when your in crouch or prone.

If your in crouch, it doesnt show you as much as prone does.

If you prone or crouch, put the cursor on the edge of the screen and it will zoom out.

Are you really from USA? because I couldn't understand what are you asking for...

to switch to secondary weapon, press 'Q' the default key...

and to use the scope on the barret, drag your mouse to the side of the screen when crouching/proning.

The barrett in general is widely considered extremely lame. Soldat kinda is about running out to face the world, barretts and camping ruin the game for everyone, or at least force them to switch to barret to counter the overwhelming lameness. I'd advice you to go for AK or the shotgun. If you insist on barretting, camping is the lesser of two evils, since barret assaulters are even more uncounterable.

Don't cry guys. Michael put the barrett in the game for a reason. IMO, it's usage is not up for question. It's in the game, therefore it is to be used. The point of the game is to win, and some people will not care how upset you get or how many insults you fling at them. They picked a weapon that kills you and they have fulfilled the game objective. If you can't counter it, then you need to practice, because I definitely can. Anti-barrett players... what a bunch of brain surgeons.

Oh jesus [:-censored]ing christ, He's asking a question about Snipe mode not how lame barret it is. When you prone and stretch the cursor out, your view will extend (There's not really any other way to do it in a 2D game).

I keep out my chainsaw 80% of the time... don't really like fast-fire weaps like AK or Mini etc, cuz I play realistic mode all the time.

And I thought the scope would turn the pointer into a magnifying window or something...
