Poll: Would games be better without snipers?

[JLML]

No, because snipers are the funniest thing to snipe as a sniper =P

 

[slipknot4]

Suuuuure.

Because running and spraying bullets is the only legitimate way of playing any FPS. Anything else is for a "f*ggoty a$$ cheating n00b b*tches".

[sarcasm]You forgot to use the starting part of that bb code it's suposed to be like this[/sarcasm]
OP: Sometimes, If a sniper rifle is used in Cqc or as an assault rifle because of it's terrible balancing it should be removed. But if it is used the way it's supposed to be used i have no problems with it.
[sup]Ugh, that post turned out to be messier than i thought[/sup]

i have no problem with snipers, i snipe quite a lot in Mw2...Intervention <3.

if you have a problem with getting gunned down by snipers don't run out in the open like a mong.

Use cover...its there for a reason

Just find yourselves a sniper who's good at counter-sniper operations if opposition snipers are giving you a bad day.

Hell, a sniper's favourite food should be other snipers.

this is me right here =] if you were somehow able to see my death totals, i've been sniped probably 1% in all my deaths, i love eatin other snipers up for breakfast

As much as I hate them, snipers are needed, otherwise every surpise attack, flanking manovere or stealthly lone ranger would win. They're there for balance.

 

[Samoftherocks]

No, 'cause I'd have nothing to do.

 

[firedfns13]

No because there will always be something like a sniper rifle.
IE Rafikas, M16s, Famases, etc.

 

[the fake]

YES GOD YES! finally someone understands.

Without oblivious snipers, how would you complete the obscene challenges in Call of Duty? Drop a crate on someone? Good luck with that.

snipers are awful in games like modern warfare 2 because of 3 things. first of all are all of the stupid tricks like "quick scoping", where you run around with your sniper rifle and click the scope for a second so the gun is accurate when you shoot and then kill the guy 15 ft in front of you. that shit would never work in a real firefight. it would just get the sniper killed. the shear amount of snipers there are. some people can't even spawn without getting sniped. and lastly that they are so cheap in online play. when there are spots that no one could ever shoot at unless the themselves had a sniper rifle and no one can see you unless you see them and then you brag about a kill streak because no one could kill you then its just fucking ridiculous. i mean seriously! its so cheap that these campers can do what they do and claim to be "elite snipers" because the never die.

Sniping is for carebears that don't want to play on even terms. Snipers want to shoot without being shot back at. Snipers are a blight on all FPS games, and fills no function at all. And snipers does not help in objective-based gameplay, no matter how much you kill. 1 guy with an AK at the front is better for the team, and it takes alot more skill to be in combat where the enemy can shoot back at you.

Sniping should be banned for all eternity.

Please move closer to your window, I can't get a clear shot at you.

Not all snipers just people that are way to good at it
but otherwise im fine with em they add a more realistic touch to the gameplay

without snipers i would never have had the moment of awesome defending Oasis in Bad Company today. i was a demolition guy and taking some serious semi-auto sniper fire from a direction i couldn't figure out, i kept moving around but eventually i died from too many hits. i respawned as a sniper with a bolt-action rifle and figured out there was an enemy sniper nest in the trees and bushes behind our base. i started methodically working them over, taking one hit that reduced my health to 10% and making the screen all red and harder to see in, yet i picked off a total of 5 enemy snipers (two of them were respawns on their squadmate), all with headshots. what a waste of their dwindling lives...

sniping in general is a core component of FPS games, it does get annoying when a fight turns into a lame sniper duel and you can't do anything except sit and hide somewhere hoping not to get shot, or else some noob runs around quick-scoping and getting cheap kills thanks to exploiting game mechanics, this is not how snipers operate. but i would not have it taken out, destroying camping snipers who suck when the game gets real is too much fun.
