You should buy battlefield 3, snipers have been nerfed so badly it's almost guaranteed you won't get a one shot kill unless you get a headshot.

I don't think the snipers (Or any gun for that matter) should be nurfed. Think about it.
In real life, What are some of the most powerful guns. In terms of single shots,

Sniper Rifles. One bullet form a sniper rifle is easily enough to instantly kill someone if they are hit in the stomach, chest or head. Other guns, maybe, maybe not. Depends on distance.

So really, from a realistic perspective, I think that nerfing the sniper rifles would be stupid.

And please, Anyone that thinks the sniping system in Black Ops is better, PLEASE re-think that. Play some MW2 to refresh your memory.

BO sniping was terrible.

Anywho, that is just my own opinion. I am stoked to get my hands on the game this November and try it out.

Noobtubing doesn't ruin the game as long as they provide a counter to it.

I'm using either the LL8 or the M71 (both the only bolt actions in the game), with ACOG...SUE ME! lol

I'm pretty sure the .50 Cal is a bolt-action...

(I want the emotes from the blackops forums back)
