I find that snipers are especially useless, at least in BC2. I'd much rather they were busy spotting than just trying to pick off random people.
why does everyone expect all snipers to quickscope?

- Start date
Because the other team hates losing and your team hates results.
Seriously. Sniping = Sitting down with your piss bottle for hours on end and then when some poor asshole walks by, taking their head off. Why does no one in a game get that Sniper rifles were made for long range, rested combat?

i have played bad company 2 :3Vrach said:May I suggest trying out the Battlefield series (currently Battlefield: Bad Company 2) instead of MW2? You might find it more enjoyable and natural as a sniper(or as just about any class as you might just end up preferring the game on the whole ^^)
i just got bored of it when i got everything
Console, auto-aim, fun for everyone...Mariena said:
I've seen an even better one, when a guy just pops a shot in the middle of a group and kills all 3 people, apparently CoD is so realistic bullet even bounce.
OT: Because exploits are how this game is won, if you don't use them you must be a noob... is the general internets idea.
And not too long ago someone made a thread about how he cheats at games and wants praise for his "achievements".
Because the majority of the assholes that play CoD are massive douchebags who A: Think quick-scoping takes skill in MW2 and B: Hate anyone who does better than them because they're obviously being a noob and playing the game/having fun wrong.
Because its not balance, not realistic and not fun. i hte the very idea of 'quickscoping and hard scoping' its a sniperrifle, you're meant to snipe using it, taking your time to get a kill, not just around like a hyperactive wookie.
That's just because of how theater mode works in Black Ops. It's because of lag. On the player's screen during the actual game he is shooting them right on, but because of the time it takes for that shot to register on the other player's screen, they move a few extra feet before getting shot.Mariena said:
Because the people who play those CoD games are generally 12 year olds with anger problems who think they know everything about guns and believe pressing two buttons very quickly (yep, that's quickscoping) amounts to some kind of "skill". Answer your question?
Because it is a effective technique that requires little skill and some practice to get down pat. It is also considered extremely cheap by most standards. On record, I despise snipers and camping in FPS MP to the point I will ignore others to kill them preferably. Mostly because it seems they shoot me first out of the group seemingly 90% of time.
Because those sort of people are dipshits, move to a different FPS would be my suggestion, maybe Halo or Battlefield, personally I've never received hate in those games, except on occasions that were very rare, as opposed to COD where I get hate around 20 times per game
I'm just wonder since when did sniping go from 'Being a sniper' to 'Quick scoping, no scoping, hard scoping'. When I play sniper I always aim. With a scope. You know, sniping? I'm just curious as to where this three different scope styles came from.
I hard scope in MW2 and go positive all the time. Same with Black ops. It's not hard.Lawnmooer said:
OT: Because it's MW2, really. People who play that game just can't accept that some people actually enjoy playing a game with a challenge, not just using the cheapest possible tactic available.
I've never really cared for sniping on any Call of Duty game, none of the maps are big enough to really take advantage of it except for Wasteland in MW2. If you want a game where there is actually some pretty sweet sniper mechanics I suggest Bad Company 2, plenty of big maps that make long distance sniping fun and practical. It has bullet drop and everything, which I honestly just love, makes the long distance head shots really that much more rewarding.
I can't agree with this more. In CoD4, I used the R700 and a silenced 1911, and I could rock on a good day. I've never quickscoped in my life, I simply track people in my head by knowing the maps and predicting where they'll probably pop up. The silenced 1911 is a damn good pistol as well, good for clearing out buildings without being noticed.amaranth_dru said:
Also, sniper rifle + low gravity server = duck hunting.
more or less youtube making this popualer weridly this started in COD4 with m40 acog i think. Don"t care what anybody says the m40 was one hit kill anywhere on the person = it being the most overpowered gun in the game. The 3 styles can i said before started on youtube then wormed there way into the online community. WOnder what would happen if IW/Slegdhammer/Treyarch(Look i'm been corrected by soooooo people on who is and isn't working MW3 that i really don't know) took quickscoping or at least do 2 things. A)Make the maps simalir to COD4Appleshampoo said:
B) Completly remove quickscoping with.
PS. Arguing the differecne between the 3 scope style is kinda dumb mainly because "Hardscoping" is really the way snipers are ment to be used, No scoping is random luck, Quickscoping is well just explotive stuiped and just plain silly.
the thing is, IRL, he wouldnt be running around like that. another reason sniping in BO is pretty much impossible: you dont even have a shotgun or smg.w00tage said:
