No you're just not talented enough to do something other than quick scope....

At least we camp with style and still do the objectives, rather than running around quick scoping and deliberately avoiding any and all objectives.

You can do both actually. I've recently fallen in love with the Ballista and I've found that depending on the size and layout of the map, I either go with the classic Suppressor, FMJ or Suppressor, Iron Sight. I still play the objective either way.

I always play the objective but it doesn't holds me from pissing of people who don't play the objective.

A good trigger finger will save you needing that and you can just use the Five Seven.

I might be annoying and start spamming the maps with Claymores since Bouncing Betties are too easy to dodge.

Because I play as a sniper in some TDM games you automatically think about the spots you can catch them because they're spots you would probably use yourself.

Drone is a good map for out thinking them because I know where I'd snipe from so I always look for the opposition in those positions, I've found a spot where people run past you and if you have a silencer on they don't even notice you sniping.

No better feeling than running up behind 3 spiners on carrier on that angled platform in the back they all like to snipe from.

Honestly, they don't bother me when they are long-range and kill me, that is expected. They have sniper rifles. I just hate when you turn a corner and run into one and they insta-scope-kill you. But, that said, I typically get them more than they get me doing that so I don't mind too much.

I play FFA all the time and luv sniping/QSing and win all the time . Nothing better winning a FFA sniping . I've had msgs both positive and negative from ppl in the lobby .

What does kind of annoy me is someone is on there last kill and they swap to a sniper when they have been using a reg gun the whole game . Meh ! Does my nut in ! Lol

You can use Quickscopers as bait for easy kills, its a cheap tactic but it works. When you see a Quickscoper on your team who doesn't play the objective then shoot a unsilcened weapon when you are near him, then watch how all the enemies are go after him, then shoot them all in the back while they focus on the Quickscopers.

I know its a dick move.

Sounds like you are no longer playing the objective... so really who is worse here???

I must be some kind of super hybrid because i run around quickscoping while playing the objective. I must be like the next superman

You know that when you want to run from one part of the map to another and 1SK people along the way, a gentleman uses a Shotty.

I agree. The best montage moments come when you didn't expected it to happen.

I was sniping in a Domination match not to long ago with a few friends of mine. I've really gotten into choking certain points of the map or multiple points. I'll go back and forth and call out anything to help our little try hard group. I ended up looking at the scoreboard and noticed one of our top players was 34-21 roughly and had 0 captures and 3 defends. Then I noticed he was sniping and I just for some reason I got upset at this player. The fact he was trying to get clips for his montage just bothered me all to holy hell. Don't get me wrong he was keeping them off the flags and had several defends but when does the thirsty youtube fame end? I mean I contradict myself when I say play how you choose but I had to take a few moments to recollect myself. Sometimes snipers and youtube is just a bothersome couple. I like putting stuff on youtube but if I get something amazing it's because it just happened because I was there at the right time. I've put the foolish thought of running around trying to quickscope all the time down. Now I'll use it when I need to. I see it as a tool, not a playstyle.

Anyway that's my rant.

As Cod_Widow says though they're great when they're on the other team, but I normally get lumbered with them.

That guy probably got 1 lucky shot out of his 5 kills and you can guarantee it would be going on YouTube.

It was hilarious. He went 4-19. MLG Pro.

Lold

These Kidscopers are fun while they are on the other team. I love using them to level up the Shotties, but when you get handicapped by one on your team it just makes you want to reach through your TV and cyber slap them in the face.

Well that sounds like a game me and my son were in the other night. My son loves using a sniper class. To be honest i'm not much of a sniper, however, I did have a blast last night where we set up with overkill - remingtons - sniper rifles - bettys - shocks - flak jack - tac mask. Kill streaks consisted of Guardians.

We got a lot of attention and certainly changed the way the game was played to our advantage. Enemies basically poured into our position for revenge kills which fed more kills to us than anything else.

I'm not saying this is how we play all the time, however, we had a blast and as it turned out on a couple of maps especially 'Raid' it was very very effective. My son went top with me coming close second in a KC match and we collected at least as many tags as we had kills.

In a DOM game on Hijacked recently I was crouching trying to cap C and I kept hearing a sniper rifle firing, this guy had 4 attempts to quickscope me while I was capping and missed every one.

I got up and shot him, I looked at his score at the end and he went 5-36 with 1 cap, I bet his team mates were impressed.
