Anyone been playing the 1942 demo? I've noticed that, for example, if i'm a scout and i try to use a sniper rifle on someone that it misses more often than not, EVEN IF THEY ARE STANDING COMPLETELY STILL!!! Does anyone else have a problem with this? Is there something wrong with the netcode or something?

I have found that the only time I can use the sniper rifle effectively is if my ping is under 50... Also, always go to the crouching position while shooting, it makes you MUCH more accurate, so if your not doing that, make sure you try that...

I agree, try crouching.
I shot a guy last night at point blank range from behind, he didnt even cringe or notice me.
I was standing up.
The retail version is supposed to address some issues.
Great game!!
