What's everyone obsession over snipers and quickscoping? I barely get in a game where not everyone is using a sniper -.-

They're just really just fun to use

I have never been more inclined to post "Not this thread again" then i am right now....


Snipers are fun, especially the AS50 (i think its called) mainly cause of its lowered optical zoom.

I love using snipers. Always have. They're fun to use especially when overlooking an objective.

I've always liked snipers. Funny thing is that I've never been a quickscoper.
People might be "special" enough to yell down their mic that I use the rifle wrong, but as mememe said - they are amazing for overlooking things from afar.

i find it that if u are in a party of 4 in an objective game mode a sniper is always a great add-on to have but most people dont use them for objective couse they like to kill whore

If I just feel like messing around, I will usually just put on the MSR and quickscope.

Well it depends on what game mode your playing, objectively, snipers can cover lines of sight towards objectives and can quickly kill a bomb defuser or planter.

Not... another... sniper... thread...

I loved sniping in CoD4 and BLOPS, but not in any other CoD title. I maybe like 3-4hrs of W@W so I can't make a judgement on that, but it seemed like it was almost identical to CoD4.



MW2 and MW3 makes it easier to snipe with all the different perks.

I miss the R700. I know the M40 was the popular one, but I had so much fun sitting on the back hill of Pipeline, down the road on Crossfire or anywhere on Overgrown just picking people off.

World at War definitely had the best sniping, you should have played it a bit more.

Well I mean, I don't mind snipers but when people have steady aim and quick scope me from across the map every single kill it gets quite annoying

I hate the snipers that think this is real life or bf3 and they just sit in a bush or some random spot in the bank of the map with scavenger assassin and marksman and just refuse to move and stare down a path.

So you hate snipers acting like snipers?

It probably takes more skills.

well u have to admit it does suck getting killed by some2 sitting in one spot entire game and u cant even kill him when he 1shots u

Personally I like using them from time to time. In general however ... snipers usually slow down the game. Especially those you sniper properly and defend an area. Mission is a good example for that. The bottom bath with the construction site is has almost always a sniper in that general area. Either he sits on the home flag and looks at the buildings or he is on the other side.

The whole path becomes a death zone and there is no objective to defend from these points. It simply destroys a whole path that you could take. Also because of snipers you have to flank more often. It takes you longer to get from A to B. As I said it slows down the game.

Snipers have no place in CoD considering how the game works, but in my own opinion it's still fun to use them.

That takes way too long to type out.

^ um ok. Guess I have a problem with you?

I've been sniping sense CoD4, it's pretty much a trait now. What's your obsession with using AR and Subs?

I seem to get more hits quickscoping than sitting back on mw3 as well as bf3. I like using snipers they are fun to use and keep both games fresh

TAKE THAT BACK NOW!!!!! but seriously i a sniper and always will be yeah sometimes ill use a reg gun when im in a party. Notice how i said im a sniper. Not a quickscoper,not trickshotter. Im a quickscoper,hardscoper,dragscoper,noscoper,trickshooter, everything. I just dont stick my self to one thing. I dont quickscope when someone is head glitching half way across the map. Thats stupid. IDC if i hear you in the deathcam say wow hardscoper. If i turn a corner and someone runs right in to me and i know i can no scope him from 2 feet away ill do it. If i turn a corner and someone is to far to no scope but to close to take the time and hard scope. I hurry zoom in and drag over to them. If im on village and i run up on pride rock and see an enemy on the ground below, and i just feel like having fun, i will do a little 360 but i dont run around doing that all game. If im using a barret 50 or something and i just got the crap scared out of me. I shooting 20 bullets a second.
Wanna know how i got good at sniping. I sniped all through blackops (my first COD) i went in private matches and snipe with like 6 friends who are better then me. Got MW2 sniped got cod 4 and WAW and sniped. Its not like you can just go hey i think i wanna snipe this game and go 55 and 2 double MOAB like some players can with a automatic gun. It takes dedication,time, and motivation. Hope this helped expand your point of view. I deserve something for this inspirational speech.

I don't really minded Regular/Quickscopers snipers but annoying trick shotters fan boys that attempts to do it hinder the team playlist games.



I hardly see this complaint so I'm guessing this doesn't happen often.....
