Hey guys would mean alot if you could check out my first episode montagey thing. And before I people get the hate on sniping I dont consider my self a quickscoper I do what I need to to get a kill I always go for the win I just snipe to add a difficultly level I find autos get arent as challanging, that said I will take out my mp7 should I feel the need
I would like to know what you guys would prefer, A sniper doing "proper sniping" or one that plays the objective and is moving around controlling points not running round 1337quickcopezzz but uses both styles of play to get the job done ![]()
Sniping like a real sniper lad. Suppressed Barrett 50 .cal with ex. mags. Or the L118a ex with variable zoom.
Not to hijack the thread. But why so many people frown upon true sniping. I do know why, its just sad at what it has become. Just finished playing a match using the Barrett silenced, on Sanctuary, HCTDM. Was in postion, some will call it camping, but isn't that what true sniping is all about.
Had a guy get all crazy mad at me because a guy from the other team ran right by me, point blank, and I didn't kill him. Would you like to know why? If I killed him, it would have given away my postion, then either I move take the chance at dying, or stay there and let him come back and kill me either way, I would have probably died. Ended the match 15-1. Not a crazy score, (for me it is) but considering I only moved once in the entire game. Now thats sniping.
Because outside of tdm your really not helping your team at all granted in tdm your doing a better job than someone running around. We do need to remember that call of duty is a arcade shooter there really isnt any parrels with realisium other than names of guns if your after realistic play bf3 might be a better game to look at
Oh no, I'm well aware of that. I only play TDM modes, got sick of the objective modes. Not looking for a realistic game. If I wanted realism, I would join the Marines. Its just funny (sad really) how some people get when your trying to do what you want to do, and possibly what you may feel is better for the team. I only gave up one death, giving the other team only 100 points the entire game, would have been more if I ran around. I supplied my team 1/5th of our total points. It all depends on the map, or maybe I don't feel like running around the whole time.
Sniping in BO was definately different. I guess though it all depends on the map. Some are better than others. I liked in BO that they tried to combat QS'ing, but then bent to the pressure of the kiddies to get it somewhat back into the game. Array I think was really the only true sniping map. If I'm remembering correctly.
THIS GAME ISN'T TRUE....barret silencer camping is also for people with lack of skill
Settle down Beavis. Its a video game, no skill required. A monkey could pick up the controller and probably get atleast 1 kill. You are the type I run across in the game. Thinks the whole game should be played like the way you play it.
Like I said to the other guy outside of tdm your really not helping the team they are all essentially playing a man down in objective gamemodes

Who cares? Most of the poeple who play objectives killwhore anyways.
I'm better at black ops sniping / scoping. So yeah Black Ops. I hate snipers in mw3. I get too many hitmarkers with them and they always seem to ohk me with the most ridiculous shots not to add. Got to love the sync issues this game has.
For me I snipe to add a difficulty and in mw3 it really isnt that difficult
but its all relative I guess and reg guns are easier to. But yeah bops ftw! hopefully bops 2 will have better map design.
ps what did you think of my episode?
I did not watch it.
BO all the way
Being able to draw your weapon for a quick OHK is stupid. If you can snipe in BO (lining up your target, or being effective at shooting as fast as you can) I am way more impressive than IWs desire for quickscoping*
*Before anyone says: "You can quickscope in BO", I am not arguing... but the fact that you cannot quick draw with a sniper in BO makes it so that anyone who does "quickscope" in BO gets a thumbsup 100 times more than in IW games. Basically, quickscoping in BO takes on a whole new definition... I know some people scope without QD in MW3. Too those who do that, bravo.
Totally Bops is the most balanced call of duty yet excluding the famas. Thats why I like the sniping any idiot can do it in mw3 but to do it well in black ops takes skill
Black Ops had better maps for Sniping and I got my OHK a lot easier
Black ops, seeing as how it actually required skill to pull off, instead of MW3; it couldn't even be considered sniping, more like instacheapscoping in that game.
The only problem with Black ops was the hit detection, if that was fixed it would be perfect IMO; stopped quickscoping unless you actually had practiced it, and if you sniped normally it was fine.

It was annoying shooting someone dead center and not getting a hitmarker, but when you did hit them you could always count on the actually dying
I don't like quickscopers, not because I can't do it, but simply because it isn't right. There are weapons in the game to get OHK short range (shotguns), there are weapons in the game for a long range OHK, sniper rifles. I like using the shotgun, but if it was possible to get long range (sniper style) kills with one would the community be happy? I doubt it. The sniper rifle should not be allowed to be used as a short range gun, end of.
Sadly, they wont get rid of quick scoping, so for that reason I would prefer sniper rifle rifle free lobbies. At least that way the player gets to choose whether he wants quick scopers in his (or her) game. Of course if they did have such lobbies we would all quickly see just how many people do quick scoping, I bet it isn't as many as folks think. The lobbies would be filled with only those actually good at it and that is a small number indeed. The try hard quick scopers wouldn't go in there because they know they're going to get slaughtered.
I know people say quick scoping is fun and is a challenge, well that may be, but it isn't fun when on the receiving end. I am convinced it is the cause of many of the dash boarders and hosts quitting which knocks on to everybody by messing up the match. I know if I die, lets say five times by the same guy using an mp7 I think wow this guy is good. If I die from a quick scoper five times, I just think "****" and leave the match/lobby.
Finally, as I have said before my experience with BO was terrible, hated the lag and other game issues. I'm not buying BO2 until I have read enough to know that I am going to like it. How quick scoping is in BO2 will be a major factor in me buying or not buying the game. Sure it wont affect how successful or otherwise BO2 is, but it will keep me happy knowing I haven't wasted any more cash on Activision.
sniping in both games (although diffrent ) is fun , the only thing i would get rid of is the whole quickscoping thing , it ruins both games , you should not be able to shoot until the scope comes up and you have a clear image of your target in the scope. seriously quickscoping is so unrealistic its just sad , there is no way you can run around with a 45 lb. -50 cal and shoot it while standing up without totally missing the target and being knocked on your ass .
true but I would be impressed if you could run around with an M60e4 and hipfire, aswel as firing a mp7 across map
*cod should be thought as realistic its a arcade shooter there are pros and cons of using sniper if you can be accurate yes its incredibly op but if you can do that all the time id be surpirsed and if your looking for realistic gameplay you should check bf3
