Play hardcore. No killcams. And reposition for the love of god.
What, you mean everyone doesn't already play on hardcore mode just by default? Bunch of sissies.

Sniping is about killing people from a long ways away without anyone seeing you. If you can pull this off, keep doing it. If you can, just spawn rush with the shottie to give snipers something to aim at.

Nothing says hello like leaving claymores behind you, making sure to use doorways and other "bottlenecks" to place them. Then, when your second one goes off, hide somewhere and pull your secondary weapon.

I usually snipe and I don't play hardcore. When you become good at it your kills vastly outweigh your deaths because you are sniping from a fixed position and protected.

In some matches where there aren't kill-cam or if you just don't know where they've glitched to... it get's super annoying. Because you can kind of see the point to that, even if it's a bit pathetic.

I just reposition after every two or three shots. A bit more dangerous, but it's a good strategy if you don't want to feel dirty after.

What i'm trying to say here is on COD4 or COD WAW, what is the point of Sniping coz with shit like Kill-Cam the enemy know ur position and will spawn and hunt u down or find a spot and easily Snipe u back coz they know where u are, also for the record, I use SMG guns mostly, i'm just talking about about my experience when I use Sniper Rifles, so i'm not being biased, what are other peoples thoughts on this Subject???
Yes, there is a point in sniping, there is just no point in you using them if you are just going to whine to the escapist about how it doesn't work...for you!

And try to use proper grammar..the escapist is somewhat formal of a posting site.
Hey, I was just trying to find a reason to start a topic and I only use a Sniper Rifle 5% of the time i'm on COD4 or COD WAW, the other 95% goes to the MP5 and the Thompson lol, I just wanted to know other peoples opinions.

After firing the killing shot just don't zoom out if that was your only target - all they will see is the general direction of where the shot came from
Relocate and don't sit in the obvious sniping points over and over

Also I found quite recently that if you learn to scope + deep breath + lock on to target as soon as the scope fills the screen (all while moving) makes you a deadly force. I still haven't got it down to a T but when you manage it you can drop people like flies.

Also I really don't get how saying "coz" saves time from typing "cause" - it's only 2 less letters, that's only going to save what? 0.2 of a second?

EDIT: also just remembered I got my 38 kill streak on Bog, Domination using sniper tricks (claymores, good positions, repositioning, killing with the pistol for backup weapons etc) and I shot a fair few of the B flag so yea snipers can help

How bout you don't be bad at sniping and actually change position? Also if your that concerned about the kill cam, just play hardcore.

Relocating doesn't seem to be that important, at least not on the 360. I've seen my friend spend entire matches on COD 4 in one spot, usually getting the most kills and least deaths.

The M40 is amazing with the acog-scope, with it, it's the strongest weapon in the game.

Claymores. Shoot. Move. If you don't get more than 10 kills a game you can't snipe so stop trying.
