Snipers and you!

[D_987]

Those who say sniping takes no skill are the ones who haven't tried for more than one game, because either you are extremely lucky or just have them run towards you

We are talking about consoles here...on PC where there's no auto-aim and the maps are bigger I agree it does take skill, console - it doesn't in most games.

Also, for the record, anyone who accuses of a Sniper of being a camper in a bad way, you obviously get killed a lot by snipers.

In my defence, 1. well in CQC im usually screwed in many different ways, so thats your forte' not mine, 2. Personally im not much of a camper, unless i find a perfect position, on CoD5 i got most of my kills with the revolver, i was more deadly when i was in last stand, no joke, 3 and final: well you wouldn't try using a shotgun in long range would you? They, along with Snipers and Gunslingers are the only three who can camp.

So your a "good" sniper on a game that takes no skill...

Ok, that pretty much ends the thread from my perspective; your going on about how amazing you are at sniping and yet its revealed you only play games in which sniping isn't a skill at all...

CoD3-4-5, Warhawk, MGS1-2-3-4, RE5, Battlefield 2 and Bad Company, TF2, i can go on, but there is no need, it might be because its all i do in a game, aside from shotguns, pistols and grenades and most people do it as a secondary thing.

*buzzer* sorry thats an incorrect answer. M16 is NOT a sniper, thats a semi-automatic machinegun with a scope as i like to call "the pussy sniper" or "the noob sniper" im partial to the Dragonov because it does have some recoil, can't be fired repeatedly and still be effective, and it does take more skill to master. And the M1014, because that has low recoil, but is a bolt action.

I said that because your previous answer made no sense in the slightest...

As you brought up COD4, that is one game in which sniping takes no skill. The levels are so small, there is no distance effect taken into account and there are automatic claymores...

The sniper rifle and I have a complicated relationship. Currently we're devoured and I'm trying to date an MP5 and see how it turns out.

Hmm, i think i know what your trying to get at, but dropping the Sniper is like giving up the nice girl for the pretty girl also known as the MP5, i know the Sniper can be a tough relationship, but when you get past it, she'll help and protect you, more then MP5 who more out for your wallet and soul. I wish you well on your endeavour

I'm okay at sniping, that is all okay, medeocer, 2.5 star
edit mind if I add you? Spirultima?

 

[SsilverR]

if you read my post on FPS strengths and weaknesses you'll understand why snipers are the least of my worries (not that i've never been killed by them

i remember 1 time in mgo when i nailed the self proclaimed "king sniper" a clean headshot from across the map with an MP5 ... he left the map after i slit his throat a few times ... but there are AWESOME snipers out there i'm sure .. i just havent run into one yet

I argue, because the maps are small people can take you out much easier, and also, claymores are a single use object, if they dodge that then your screwed, unless you've mastered your pistol weapon (i recommend that so much).

By all means, a challenge or a partner, either way is good, or both preferably

*sigh*

The maps are smaller making your target easier to hit - its not about staying silent in COD4, snipers are rarely if ever used in competition play because they aren't effective in a real match against organised team - a sniper is a wasted player on that game.

Facts are that every game you have listed bar about 3 (maybe) have been either single player or games in which Sniping takes little skill. Your desperately trying to cling on to some sort of irritating arrogance, and yet you only address the points you think you can counter-argue. Completely ignoring the fact CoD has no bullet distance effect; thus making sniping in that game poorly done. Particularly as the hit detection is not perfect, as confirmed by Infinity Ward.

Hmmm, i do see what your saying, but there is error, do you snipe? and if so, do you snipe on hardcore?

Sniper no sniping!

Damnit, I don't feel original for saying this anymore. I hate not being unique.

I treat sniping like an extreme sport. If I'm not doing it while flying through the air or while riding shotgun, it's not fun.

 

[Razorback0z]

I usually play snipers. Im still playing BF2 a lot all these years on. I tend to play more Project Reality these days. If you like BF2 but want a more mature, teamwork based environment without the bunnyhopping stupiness of standard BF2

New patch is out today, it is a superb Mod and very underated.

When I do play shooting games (usually for about 10 minutes before I get bored recently - maybe Battlefield : Bad Company 2 and Modern Warefare 2 will change that) I am usually a sniper, yes. On COD4 I used to play hardcore, yes.

Why does it matter...?

 

[agentmaine]

I too have always seen myself as a sniper, but not because I think I am an UBER1337HAX0RW17HM4DSK1LLZLOLOLOLOL
Just because I have always liked being the little prick in the background who gets 2 kills and 5 deaths every game but gets the opertunity to laugh about all the heads they made a-splode

 

[Zersy]

Now to the point: People say there awesome snipers, i argue, without trying to brag, not many people beat or snipe me, its lying people, if you don't believe me, try me, i want people to stop saying there good with a sniper when there not.

PSN: Spirultima

In any other game i am a terrible sniper 99% my shots are from chance
but in Killzone 2 i kickass as a sniper as in i can take any sniper confidently without having to worry about him being better because i have a natural skill to kill you first when i'm sniping in Killzone 2

in other games i just grab the nearest assualt rifle and go all rambo !!

 

[NeedAUserName]

I'm quite a good Sniper, today on CoD4, I was splaying as a sniper, got 20 kills (including some stabbings and desert eagle-ings) of which, 80% were headshots. Don't like to blow my own horn, but as a Sniper, I kinda rock...

And your complaining about being easy? practically, a single shot kills you, campers, kill you, luck grenades kill you etc. (and MW2 should reignite the FPS to the way it should be)

 

[Lyri]

I used to play sniper when I was playing my COD4 comp team, I was alright but there where alot of other snipers out there who really pushed me to try my hardest to outplay them.
I'm more of a hit and run sniper, I'll try to kill one or two people and then I'll move around.

I hate snipers who sit still and carry claymores so they can camp out a room, those are the predictable idiots who are always in the same spots.
They make great practice.

However, CoD4 really isn't that good for snipers in all honesty. The maps are too small for them to be really effective.

*buzzer* sorry thats an incorrect answer. M16 is NOT a sniper, thats a semi-automatic machinegun with a scope as i like to call "the pussy sniper" or "the noob sniper" im partial to the Dragonov because it does have some recoil, can't be fired repeatedly and still be effective, and it does take more skill to master. And the M1014, because that has low recoil, but is a bolt action.

The dragonov is a Semi auto sniper rifle, I'm pretty certain that It can be fired repeatedly. Only the bolt actions cannot be spammed.
I also fail to see how it takes more skill to master one of the Semi auto's over the bolt actions, do explain that too me.

Sorry to sound like Im promoting it or something but the game your looking for is already out there and its called Project Reality.
