Golden Sniper Rifle

Deadly - If you want the nice-looking gold effect, turn on "specular map" in the graphics settings. The dragunov still keeps most of its wood finish, but it does look much, much better with the spec map on. You will also notice that the desert eagle changes from a weird greenish-yellow color to a nice shiny gold gun.

Sadly, I take a big performance hit when I turn on the specular map, and I'd have to turn down other settings I like more - I just leave it off.

I tried it, but the game runs a lot worse. I'll stick to R700 anyways, I like it better, and I mainly wanted the gold sniper just to say "hey I did it"

It's a shame you can't choose which gun you want gold, mini uzi is crap compared to P90.

yeah... It would definitely be nice if you could pick which gun to gold-plate. I mean, I don't like their selection for -any- of the classes... Ok, maybe the LMG's M60 is nice gold, but all the other gold guns are kinda meh...

Agreed. I want my Golden P90 of Doooooom!
Heck, I'd even take a golden MP5.
:P

Wait..is there benefits to having a golden sniper rifle?

[SUB_ZERO]

yay, finally did it, those many, many headshots you did on me paid off

There ARE certain spots snipers like to use. I certainly watch for them,
or work to take them out. (Although they have found a NEW place on
City Streets that is above everything (With the market in the middle)

Very few snipers can kill you as you are running from a distance.
One killed me as I was jumping in the air yesterday, from across the
map, so it can be done, just not as likely.

I DO so love to knife snipers. I work hard to get behind them.

I'm close to getting my shotty gold.
