You hate snipers... Tough shit... Ina real combat situation you can't rage quit just because there's a sniper...
I used to snipe alot, but now I'm more like this guy:
However, I don't play online, so the only other snipers I meet are story characters who generally give some nice tense moments (E.g The End from MGS3)

Sniping someone, making that headshot when they are running with a single bullet; that is priceless!
In my college, we have a gaming club thing where all the cool people (ahem...) play UT2004 over lunch time, and we always get people coming in who have basically been fed off CoD their entire lives so run straight for the sniper rifle, and then say that it's the game's fault that they're not getting anywhere. That what tends to irritate me most about snipers - elitism.
That and the fact that they think that a good kill is one in which the opponent doesn't fight back at all.

"I hate you campers! Everybody bloody hates you!"
But in all seriousness, I myself don't find too much wrong with a sniper. It is irritating to hop out into a brave new world only to have my exitement quelled by single shot. But at the same time, I know that they were doing their job, which is eliminating a key threat.
However, I do agree that anyone who uses a sniper rifle as a close-range weapon needs to pick up a shotgun and fight like a man.

I beg to differ. In most games, the map size makes sniping a dangerous task. Most of the time you're rushing to get the crosshairs on someone who is a) already shooting you b) sprinting around a corner at you, or c) doing the same exact thingMR T3D said:
And I've found that it takes a considerable amount of skill to use a sniper rifle in close combat. So before you all spout nonsense about picking up a shotgun and fighting like a man, remember that at point blank range, spastic uncoordinated shotty lovers have a huge advantage over someone using an ACOG Barrett. You can flail about spewing lead everywhere, while they have a split second to line up a single shot, because that's all they have time for. lol
Its fun to snipe every now and then, just as much as it is to charge in with an LMG screaming your tits off. If you seriously have a Hate on for snipers, try stepping back a bit and realising that in real life warfare snipers arent the best friend of the common infantry man, oh yeah and that it's a bloody game.
I too am a Knifer. And my goodness what fun. But I rather like LMGs too, so you won't always find me Knifing.TheNumber1Zero said:
But OT. I invented something I like to call "Combat Sniping" a little while back on Metal Gear Online. Taking the sniper into situations where people would use the M4 and just winning. People that play the game are gonna call me a fag now "because the sniper only kills in 2 body shots" But I went for headshots so shut it.
It's something I found myself doing on MW2 occasionally, take the Intervention with ACOG scope into close combat, it is quite a laugh when you actually win.
But my point is, I generally dislike snipers. The campy kind, the ones that camp so hard they don't move all match, unless you kick them out of their spot, in which case they keep coming back and back and back because they need that spot so bad. Those kind I HATE. I mean, how much fun must they really be having?
Single player, hell yes. Multi-player, only if you have to go and actually get the gun instead of just putting it into your loadout. Because if you can spawn with it, then roughly 1/3 of your team is sniping, doing it wrong, and not helping your team at all.
I love sniping. CoD4 I only would snipe unless the map was to small or I could be stealthy instead. Me and my R700 were ment to be together forever. Then MW2 came along and, in my opinion, ruined sniping forever.
Here is wht I hate about (MW2) snipers;
1. Quick scopes snipers,
2. Snipers that never kill in one hit even with stopping power although they should be used to take out tanks and decapitate people in real life.
3. Thermal
4. Range doesn't count on a game. Why take a sniper when you can shot just as far with a assault rifle of pistol for that matter. I've snipped with a magnum a few times myself.
Hmmm... I'm going back to CoD4 to do some sniping.
