It does. You can tell too. Try like a cross map shot on someone. Whether you hit them or not, the impact seems to happen a lot faster than with SV98.
Biggest drawback is it has the absolute slowest bolt action, so getting off a follow up shot before they move behind cover is pretty tough.
Also the new M417 sniper is pretty fun to just run and gun with.
I'm really digging the AUG A3 for medic, just perfect feel for me

Yeah I like it too. Not quite gonna take the crown from the M16A3 as the best assault class gun but it's right up there with the 416.
And the ACW-R is fucking awesome for the engineer.

Just came across this while browsing Slickdeals. I thought some of my fellow gaming nerds might appreciate this. A brief run through of the thread shows people are having issues getting their payment processed, but no one hints this might be a scam. Haven't tried it yet; though, I am thinking of preordering Guild Wars 2 haha.

I think I regret dropping the thirty bucks now.
Ok I get you start with nothing and you're not just gonna find a stash of automatic weapons in the first building you loot...but Jesus Christ there's just waaaaaay the fuck too much running around. Then sneaking around from building to building while trying to maintain a safety zone so you don't get detected by zombies...only find yet another bounty of empty cans and bottles.
I had to dial the graphics down to 1440x900 and normal textures just to get a decent frame rate. So BF3 on my Xbox actually looks better because of that. And when I'm in the city? Fucking frame rates take a huge drop even more.
Not to mention the game itself is buggy and glitchy as fuck. You have to jump through a shitload of hoops to even get in a server. I know it's a beta, but I remember playing the Counterstrike (which also was just a mod) beta way back in the day and that was far less frustrating with the bugs. And the inventory system is just way too complex. I still haven't been able to figure out how to actually use a bandage.
Sigh. All the videos on YouTube make DayZ look fun, but after 3 hours of actual play time all I really did was take a bunch of hikes. After I got atttaked through a wall then the zombie no clipped through it and was magically in the house with me and fucked me up some more I said fuck this game. I'm just fine with BF3.

Oh and one of the most popular maps from MW2 is coming to MW3.
Terminal.
Should be awesome now that some asshole can't just camp the roof with noob tubes and one man army.

The videos for Day Z it do look cool, but it also looks super slow. With my casual viewing of videos I still see a bunch of little buggy things. And I hear Arma 2 has ridiculous hardware requirements for not that great looking of a game. Yes I know the maps are huge but so are Skyrim's and that game looks awesome and runs great on my PC.
Holding off for now in case Arma 2 gets a steam sale or DayZ gets some sort of more stable/awesome release

I'm not sure what the DayZ mod takes up, but I saw that for Arma2 and the expansion pack I downloaded about 15 gigs. For 15 gigs I get shit like trees that have maybe 10 polygons to draw them, a character model that looks no better than CS:Source (which is like a 10 year old game that can run on a Pentium 2 machine), and grass that looks like a sea of creamed spinach. I dunno if the Arma2 engine is just shit or if it's a poorly poorly optimized game, or what. I can run CS:Source on max settings and still have a pretty good frame rate. In order to just get 30fps out of Arma2/DayZ I have to dial it down so far that I swear that iPad games have better textures and appear sharper.

If you're looking for a new FPS to play, you should check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklight:_Retribution
I just downloaded it yesterday. Free-to-play business model. So far so good. I'm still trying to figure my way around the game and customization. They have something called HRV, which allows you to temporarily see through walls and locate enemies / friendlies. Some may like it, some may not. It virtually eliminates camping to create a fast, high-action game.

That see through walls thing is like the new Hitman game. It's like an EZ mode button!

When you put it like that, yes, it is like EZ mode. I like it cause it suits my style of play, which predominantly consists of run and gun.
They also have something called CP, which is in-game currency. You get CP for killing people and completing objectives. You can then take your CP and buy stuff from the weapons depot ie health, ammo, flamethrower, and mech. CP is not transferable between games.
It's an arcade-style shoot 'em up FPS. Don't expect a lot of depth; it's like a barebone COD. But for something that's F2P, I'm not complaining.

So it's Counterstrike (which has an in game money system too) with a wall hack?

I haven't played Counterstrike since the introduction of CS:S, so I'm not sure if I'm making a right comparison.
It's more like Call of Duty with a wall-hack. You have different game modes like in all typical FPS (ranging from TDM to DOM to CTF).
When you die, there's a 10s respawn time.
You don't need to buy weapons every time you respawn (like in CS).
You can customize your weapons and gear like COD.

Fucking god damn DayZ.
Yeah I am stupid. I keep going back to it thinking its gonna be as fun as what's all over YouTube right now.
One thing it has taught me is that if the "zombie apocalypse" ever actually does happen the worst threat to anyone won't be getting chomped on by a zombie. It's gonna be some other asshole human who just figures it'd be easier to just shoot you on sight rather than figure out what your intentions are.
After many deaths, hours of running around/being chased by zombies, and looting...I finally got a good life. Creeped around in a big city and got a good handgun, a good shotgun, an upgraded backpack, binoculars, a map, a watch, and lots of sundries. I was actually happy. Went to a rooftop to see where to go next and bang bang. Some asshole sniper decided to end my journey.
If I play this fucking game again I'm just gonna be a straight up murderer. Fuck everyone.

The main difference from all the videos I've seen on YouTube versus what I'm doing? Besides all the glitches and my awful video settings of course.
Everyone is working with a group. A spotter watches while someone else sneaks up closer to kill some asshole sitting in a sniper tower or something. If someone in the group gets killed, they take out the killer and cover the area till their buddy respawns and comes back so he can get all his gear back.
Me? I get killed. And the fuckface that murdered me gets to steal all my stuff. I respawn miles away and there's no chance I'll get back to where I died and recover anything.

If we can get enough people in this god damn DayZ and roll in a server with a BARFtron crew of 3 or more, I bet this would be fun.
All the good weapons are at like military bases or airfields. Most people know this so they just camp on the outskirts of them. And they just snipe anyone who tries to go in and actually get any decent equipment.
With a BARFtron party we could flush out the sniper, kill his bitch ass, then split up all the shit he was carrying.
