Where did all the Snipers go?

Really??? The snipers are gone??? Awesome!!..............j/k...But seriously though...I don't care for snipers in any of the COD games. Always have and always will.
I like them. Free kills ![]()
I agree, in my opinion people walking around with snipers "quikscoping" is !@#$ing lame. And all those montages filled with quikscopes are sooo !@#$ing g*y lol
I hate watching montages. They're all about editing now and not the actual clips.
Finally, I am not the only one who observes montage clips as edited propaganda. I love how they only show the 'awesome' kills from various game but what we aren't seeing is that because of their quickscoping behavior, it ruined the overall victory for the team. Too many times have I played Drop Zone or another team objective based game and all I see are kids attempting to do 360 quickscopes.
What I really enjoy is when someone attempt to quckscope me at close range several times where they could have pulled out their sceondary but instead, I dropshot with my ACR. Sorry for the rant. I believe that quickscoping and Machinima montages have potentially ruined online gaming.
No snipers in MW3? The rebel in me is making a Barrett .50cal class as I type this... ![]()
That was an interesting video, though. ![]()
They vanished the minute MW3 became camper friendly and everyone started to only care about their Kill/Death Ratio.
I dont know, but there seems to be 5x as many shotgunners. perhaps that happened?
Probably because the shotguns got buffed.
Your probably right.
I almost have the RSASS gold. That gun is my favorite sniper in any CoD, but thats because I like to hard-scope people. I have to admit I did not snipe much though until I hit 15th prestige.
Theyre prob playing mw2 cause thre were a couple maps you COULD actually snipe on there.
all the proper snipers turned into cheapscoping or trick shotting arseh*les
I'm still sniping, but you probably won't see me as I'm in some grass wearing a ghillie suit... Not running around quick scoping like some fecktard.
Still running around with my ACOG L118.
I don't own MW2 so you're stuck with me. ![]()
They are still in the game. They can usually be found in dropzone outside the area of combat.
I still have a sniper class that i use somewhat regularly. In all reality though there are only a few maps that are even worth it, like interchange, village, and sometimes outpost. I miss the CoD4 maps. all of those could be played how ever you wanted, with a sniper from long range, smgs/shotguns in the alleys/houses, or assault rifles out in the open/building to building.
As far as quickscoping goes, i need not comment. I believe everyone who truely plays FPS games knows that its just a cheap exploit of the auto aim within the game itself to kill people. No skill what so ever.
A sniper who hates Quickscoping... Sir I salute you!
You will find the majority of them in dropzone
makes the games boring and easy.
After golding my 4th sniper rifle just got tired of it so i'm running and gunning now. And no, I hate quickscoping.
whats the point in sniping when some random loser can just out snipe you with an Ass Cramming Rifle. I played with the 50 cal for almost an entire prestige, even got it gold but I got sick of trying to sit in and defend a single building or area just to pick off stragglers because snipers are useless in medium range combat and quickscoping is only possible at extreme close range at which point i may as well just knife the guy.
If you want to be a monster at long range combat while still being somewhat effective at close range just use an assault rifle. If you want to camp a single line of sight just use an LMG.
Snipers are completely useless in this game because the maps are just too damn small and the power level of the other weapon categories have increased from previous titles, snipers are either one hit wonders or hitmarker hell.
The only people I've ever seen do well with snipers use snipers exclusively and have months of game time with them.
