Features:

On May 19, 2005, PlanetSide celebrates its 2nd Year Anniversary. This anniversary brings two special rewards for the community. A Two Year Term of Service Merit and a Heavy Sniper Rifle.

* Two Year Term of Service Merit - This merit is granted to characters that have been in creation for two years.

* Heavy Sniper Rifle - The Heavy Sniper Rifle is a powerful alternative to the Bolt Driver for snipers. It uses high-caliber "bolt" ammunition like the Bolt Driver, but holds a ten-shot clip and can be fired much more rapidly, albeit with a significant penalty to accuracy. All three empires have chosen to make this weapon available to all soldiers with at least two years of service.


Gameplay Fixes:
----------------
* Drivers of non-BFR ground vehicles will lose control when the vehicle reaches 10% health

* Corrected an issue that allowed Motion Sensors and Spitfires to be placed in the air.

* Corrected a graphics issue with the TR Female avatar.

* Corrected a graphics issue with the VS Max

* Corrected an issue with the Monolith Unit.

* Corrected an issue with the reticules when switching characters.

* Some Squad Experience Revision regarding ground vehicles and soldier distance from the squad center.


( OfC the PS Devs buckled to whiners, so now peps will get the HeavySniper rilfe for free when they get the 2 Year merrit, or if the pay for the snipercert. At first doh only the peps whit the 2 year merrit can get it. )

It sux anyway....too big CoF and it needs a lot of time to be coem sniper and the damage is lame it needs like 6 shots for a rexo (without Peronal Shiled, Second Wind, Medkits)

[FuSs]

3 hits to kill pyjama
4 hits to kill agile
5 hits to kill rexo
25 hits to kill a max
27 hits to kill a mosq
33 hits to kill a reaver
29 hits to kill a harasser

rate of fire like repeater
cone of fire like bolt driver with a high bloom and slow recovery
it has tracers like the bold driver (which is a shame cause without them it would be an really cool commando weapon)

you can allways hit 2 shots with a fast 'tap tap'.
soft up the target with some slow shots and then score the final double tap.

not the best sniper rifle but remember you get it for free (no certs required).
remove the tracer and it will be awesome :)
