I love the Hunting Rifle, it's so good at what it does, defend against long range attacks while the AR does good mid range, with the Shotgun doing the close range work. I used to like the AR over the HR, but now it's different, and I also started to dislike Thirdpersonshoulder after a while.
Auto shottie is best then hunting rifle then m16 because m16 runs out of ammo to quick hunting rifle sucks at short range and auto shottie dosent have bad reload it's best for tank at medium range it's still good and I killed smoker with 3 shots and at long range I killed boomer with 7 shots
In truth you don't need a sniper to hit tank rocks but it is a very powerful weapon for killing the specials, if you truly need to skeet the rock an auto shotty will do the job but you have enough range of movement to dodge them on that rock.
i now in the begining alot of ppl hate it they all like the auto shotgun and m16 but m16 has alot of ammo but runs out quick if that makes sense . and auto shotgun takes forever to relaod :/ so i agree with i love the sniper
Yeah I tend to use the sniper rifle often, especially on levels like Blood Harvest 4 when I speedrun to the saferoom almost always, then take a sniper and cover my mates as they come in. Not long ago I shot throught 2 of the metal ribs of the bridge and through 2 walls into the head of a hunter on Bill, shows how much penetration they have.
I personally like the sniper, lets me me somewhat safe, cept from those sneaky specials, while my team does the dirty work i can pick off the groups with the peircing. also...YEY ZELDA MUSIC
enable the developers console then use sv_cheats 1 then use z_spawn to spawn a normal zombie use a special infected's name to spawn a special infected for example : z_spawn hunter
There is actually one reason why people dont use hunting rifle , first of all its not gunna kill the tank that quickly and second people are afraid of friendly fire , especially in expert which is scary.
for all u people the hunting rifle sucks u are rong!!!! maybe this weopon may not be as useful in l4d but other games with this this weapon is deadly(u know those games that doesnt have a crosshair when not scoped like counter strike,team fotress 2 and many other game u could think of)
back when i made this video the command "thirdperson" was not cheat protected. it is now. you can still do it with "thirdperson_shoulder", however.
note that console commands can only be done in the pc version and that for a more full explanation you should see my videos discussing console commands (i explain how they work and different commands you can use to accomplish that end).
Damn I love the Witch kill how she gets that mad momentum going and when you kill her she stumbles like..right past you. XD Love it man. I just started using the hunting rifle today and I love it.
not bad but i only use the hunting rifle when i want to take out common infected from far away and save the annoyance of dealing with them up close later other than that im auto machine gun all the way
Thanks for making this video. I always thought The only good use of the hunting rifle was taking out smokers from afar, but your vid has made me want to use it more and get better with it.
Instant-kill on common infected plus penetrating power when they're clumped up = tons of fun. The only places where I use something else are the finales (where I switch to auto-shotty). And having the best headshot score is nice too. Of course, if you're like me your kill number will be lower than those with the shotguns...but you're making sure those smokers don't get them from afar!
half right and half wrong. there is a command to use thirdperson with sv cheats enabled, but you can just find a exec to fix Thirdpersonshoulder to look like the cheat one
lol something like this changed my mind and i cant keep my hands off of the hunting rifle now :D I got told it realods half as fast as an empty shotgun has 1.5 as much ammo and its basically as powerful. Changed my mind completely :D great vid btw 5/5 :D
yeah, its a nice gun if you've got the aim for it. the only weakness the gun has is that you can't solo a tank with it, but you should have a team for that (or pistols in any case).
i mean, its not a perfect gun, but none of them are perfect, and if you enjoy using it, that's what counts :D
The hunting rifle is a great gun. you may consider this stupid but ill tell my freinds to go on a little ways and ill just stay somewhere high and snipe everything then once they are the farthest they can be while still being in my sight i tell them to gaurd me and i sprint like theres a chocalot bar at the end and my freinds will cover me while i get to there position. All i have to say is . . . . . THE HUNTING RIFLE IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heh, I love all the guns in L4D, especially the autoshotgun, but always thought that the hunting rifle was just fun, and wasn't as useful as it could be. Thank you for showing me just what a gem it is.
Huh. I was just screwing around with the hunting rifle, and I noticed that headshots with it fling the recipient. Meaning, a dead hunter/smoker/boomer flying across the map, or (as everyone knows by now) a stumbling witch knocked several meters away. The only ones it doesn't do that to are tanks and common infected, probably because tanks don't register headshots and common infecteds' heads aren't attached as firmly (though that doesn't explain flying boomers).
i only use the sniping rifle perhaps a bit too much cause i even use it during events - i don't get the most kills but i'm always saving peoples ass with it and now i find out i can shoot the fucking tank rocks in half...you sir are a magnificent man
Yay for the hunting rifle :D... true it's not best used for getting headshots, but then again sometimes you just have to indulge a bit too. ---> vid response
this is (to my knowledge) only available on the pc version of the game. from options, go to "keybaord" and then switch "allow developers console" from "disabled" to "enabled". then just hit the '~' key below the 'esc'.
sniper is the worst gun in this game, small clip, shure its accurate but ur agaisnt HOARDS of zombies not like in resident evil where is takes a whole clip to kill one zombie
im sorry but only noobs thinks its the worst gun. if anything was the worst gun it would be the assault rifle only because of how fast it runs out of ammo. A wiseman once said : "Two things people underestimate in this game: the hunting rifle and being a boomer." lol i thought that was funny when i heard it :P
