Snipers

From thefreedictionary.com:

 

Sniper:

 

 

1. A skilled military shooter detailed to spot and pick off enemy soldiers from a concealed place.

 

2. One who shoots at other people from a concealed place.

 

Wikipedia:

A sniper is a marksman who shoots targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the capabilities of regular personnel. Snipers typically have specialized training and distinct high-precision rifles.

 

 

SRs:

In military and law enforcement terminology, a sniper rifle is a precision-rifle used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets at longer ranges than othersmall arms.

 

 

whats this tell you when IW purposefully facilitates QSing in their war game, where shotgun pellets disappear after a short distance but QSers can aim large sniper rifles at point blank?

    Re: Snipers

    Yeah, make snipers realistic. Then apply realism to everything else and not just something you don't like.

     

    No perks, killstreaks, regenerating health, having more than 1 life, reloading before the magazine is empty yet you keep the ammo, ect.

        You HAVE to compromise.  Willing suspension of disbelief is necessary to make games playable, and even for works of fiction to be enjoyed.

         

        Snipers in this game hardly make it unplayable. Last time I checked some people enjoy quick scoping.

         

        And don't try to associate an age to what someone does with a weapon, that's just ad hominem and completely baseless.

            Re: Snipers

            When you say "Willing suspension of disbelief is necessary to make games playable" when talking about snipers gives off the vibe that your saying it makes it unplayable.

             

            "people who'd rather ADS fast"

             

            So now you have a problem with people aiming...

             

            "bc IW pandered to a certain group of 12 year olds"

             

            Ad hominem and associating age with what someone does with a weapon.

             

            "people who'd rather ADS fast to QS kill while NOT pulling out their secondaries?"

             

            I'd rather scope up and get the quick kill than pull out my secondary and chase them. Secondarys don't have that great of a range, I can quick scope well out side of that range.

             

            "If you, with a SR, get caught so fast you dont have time to pull fmgs or pistols"

             

            With the spawns in this game that's nearly impossible

    Re: Snipers

    You might as well take snipers completely out of the game then because the maps aren't big enough to snipe someone at a distance that "real" snipers do.  And even if the maps were big enough everyone would ***** about how the snipers kill them from a place they can't be reached. QSing is a tactic of the game, just like camping.  You may not like it, but it will always be there.

    Re: Snipers

    Im so tired of reading all these posts by 13 yr  old about "how lame qs is"

    First off, your right sniping in cod is not realistic oh yea thats b/c its a video game not a simulator, in real life a military sniper and his spotter will be droped off in the middle of no where, where he will spend days crawling on his belly to get into position to take 1 shot and to get 1 kill.   Now how  would that be fun in cod, first off your not going to get a "stealth" kill b/c of a little thing called kill cams, second the maps are not designed for a 2 mile shot from the middle of no where,  without qs snipers are usless

     

     

     

    And to those who say qs takes no skill,, if qs takes no skill what does?  I guess thats why  the ppl over at optic have made a carreer out of qs, but i guess thats b/c it takes no skill and everyone can do it.....

    Re: Snipers

    Every time I see one of these topics I laugh because of how hypocritical and childish the posts always are.

     

    Thanks for the laugh, kid.

     

    P.s. What is your GT? I really want to play a match against you so I can make you hate QSers even more.

    Re: Snipers

    COD devs don't want a realistic shooter.

     

    They want an arcade shooter that can appeal to a large amount of people.

     

    Don't hurt yourself trying to make threads now.

            Re: Snipers

            From a purely numbers standpoint, they know how to make a huge profit with very little effort. Sure they recycled the engine, textures, models, etc, but they were able to churn out a game that made a billion dollars in what, 16 days?

             

            I'd love a cut of that.

    Cool story bro, now go play Battlefield. You're playing the wrong game if you want realism.

        Re: Snipers

        for the record in battlefield is the truly good snipers. Not being a fanboy but you have to lead and aim up....and pretty much get a headshot for a one shot kill
