"Reap What You Sow" - 202 Meters Gunshot
[front-paged by stabguy]
The farthest gunshot of all time, 202 meters!!!
Video Information:
- Start to climb the view point near the target, then lock him and reach the top of view point.
- Use a smoke bomb to scare him and immediately take the gun, aim at the target and wait for him to flee 202 meters away (not more or he will start to come back), then shoot him =)
here is some info that might help you jack:
the max distance of a shot is limited by the distance in which the game world is modeled, which isnt as far as what appears on screen. in altair92's video, the target turns around after 202 meters because the virtual world doesnt exist any farther. in my mark and execute video, the game world stopped at about 210 meters - maybe a little more, i forget exactly. in general, have trouble getting the game to model much beyond 200 meters. im pretty confident that 202 meters can be broken, but i think it will be difficult to have a 300 meter shot.
the distance in which the world is modeled is dynamic - it depends on your vantage point, which way you are facing, your surroundings, etc. for example, if altair92 had done a leap of faith when the target reached 180 meters, the virtual world may have no longer be modeled out to that distance after landing in the hay. the target is then immobilized by waypoint separation - stuck in the middle of nothingness.
good luck on your extreme shooting.
in case anyone is wordering , here is the 201 meter shot:

i finally got around to trying a long shot on reap what you sow, and managed a 214-meter shot by manipulating a few things. i think the theoretical limit for this mission is somewhere around 216 meters, so there may be room for improvement.
Well ian showed it working against Dante and Silvio.
I think the record can easily be broken on the level Showtime, but it will take me some effort, il have to carry him to the northern part of Tuscany, throw him down, climb to the tallest building and aim at him while he runs all the way back to his normal fleeing route, which is in the southern part
Just saw this video. Amazing job! Has it been said that this works on main targets as well, or just contracts?
great job altair92! i think the record can be broken. after all the previous record was.... 201 meters 
Fantastic! Congratulations, Altair92. I will be very surprised if that distance is surpassed. 
Yeah as soon as i saw your smoke trick I started trying it out on different targets, immediately got the idea to do it when I saw him run off for ages.
Where are you up to in the game? I want you to try and skip the memory corridor, that is smoke bomb a main target, and somehow poisen him and run away
Damn I was doing the exact same thing. You can do it with showtime as well

ahahah i preceded you 
AWESOME HAHA! i loved it
Hahaha! Fantastic work, I bet at 202 meters he was thinking "I'm far enough away from the assassin now, I should be safe!" 
Thanks to SBIzokronus for the fantastic sig!
