Well either way,

My problem is they fire shots before the scope reaches the eye. That should equal intense inaccuracy.

I may be crazy but I remember lots of older FPS' that when you pulled the scope up, if you didn't give it a second the shot was GOING to miss. If there is going to be quickscoping made so easily and readily then they need to be headshots 1 bullet, body shots 2. because you are essentially firing a single shot assault rifle that kills in one hit anywhere on the body.

You get to run and snipe with no increased sway, you can pull the scope up as fast as any other weapon, the weapon kills in one shot. . . you have to stop somewhere lol.

i know it sounds like complaining but I'm trying to look at it in a sensible way. Snipers are an elite group of soldiers. You don't sign up in the Marines to be a sniper. You are chosen if you are good. Again, I know it's a video game but it breaks down to simple skill basing of weapons. Sniping should be a tough class BECAUSE of it's 1 shot kills.

AR's may not have much recoil, but unless you are host you have to shoot people 5 times to get them to go down. The balance comes in when I am burning some snipers ass up with 3-4 shots and he fires and somehow knicks my kneecap from a panic quick scope blast that in any other game would have never made the shot, ends up killing me.

They give you the "hold breath" option because it's a gun of focus. Does anyone not catch that?

And yeah I can see the lag cam being some of the problem, but I have fired the sniper a lot, and you can totally tell the gun helps. I've missed many of shot and still got the kill cause I was scope sweeping. It's just something I've always said all through MW1-MW3. . . "The more panic and spastic the sniper shot is, the more likely you are to get the kill".

I am 26 years old and have been playing almost all the FPS' all my life, I would like to think I know when I've seen the best and worst of sniping.
