(If you want to get straight to the point, ignore the first paragraph)

Ok, so i hear about all these people go on about how great snipers they are saying stuff along the lines of "Oh im a great sniper, i never die" and so i think fair enough, your playing your ego a bit, but whatever. I try and give them an idea on how good i am, without trying to butter it up, im a fairly good sniper. I'm very accurate and battle-smart, but of course im not the best, i do screw up sometimes and i pay for it and die from some moron with a machinegun (FYI i hate machineguns, not so much the ones who use it well, but the ones that camp for the whole match).

Now to the point: People say there awesome snipers, i argue, without trying to brag, not many people beat or snipe me, its lying people, if you don't believe me, try me, i want people to stop saying there good with a sniper when there not.

PSN: Spirultima
you hit the nail on the head man im a gears sniper (2100 headshots which you know is a huge amount if you play gears) and sometimes ill sniper dual someone and then i go 5-0 and their like "o my brother was playing"

hope to play you some day see ya
I hate the gears of war sniping system, 1. you can use the sniper as a CQC weapon and 2. its one of the easiest ways to kill someone on Gears.
If your good enough. Whats so terrible about making it that if I headshot someone they die? Or is it just because its gears?
When it comes to it, Gears has the bread and butter of sniping, but not enough to make a sandvich. I don't judge against a game for being popular, unless its a bad game that is popular.

Gears of War sniping was fun in the first one. #1 clan in Australia for a bit as a TOTALLY AWESOME SNIPER /gloat

Gears of War 2 was just bad. No wonder everyone went back to the first one.

If I ever get killed in a cod match, Chances are it was either a guy with a machine gun just spray and pray, or it was a sniper on the other side of the map. I'm a shot gunner, and I hide round corners after getting ahead from a group of opponents, and then run at them and shoot them. Disrupts what ever they was going to do, and if I'm lucky, kills all of them.

This is even more funny in TF2, thanks to the knockback effect of the force of nature. I pretty much make it my job to distract the enemy so snipers can get a clear shot, so Drinking Bonk and then running out for some reason makes people follow me and try to kill me.

So if you was playing any game where you was a sniper, and some guy was distracting the guy you shot in the head?

You're Welcome.

I'm not exactly perfect. with the accuracy or patience, but I DO know real-world tactics to sniping.

1. Find a concealed spot.
2. Find your appropriate sniper rifle, as in one that you do your best with.
3. Be patient, but also be aware counter-snipers are everywhere.
4. Be aware of your surroundings.
5.If you are camoflauged, for hell's sake don't move every five seconds, it destroys the illusion.
6. Never, EVER shoot from the same spot twice (further explanation: one shot leaves the enemy dead or confused, two shots leaves the enemy with a trace of where you are, and a quick and concealed movement restarts the whole cycle. If you follow this, you will be spotted.)
7. Use diversions (yes this means on TF2, spraying a crouched-sniper in the open to the wall, it just WORKS)
8. Listen to your teammates for rushes of enemies, and MOST IMPORTANTLY: other snipers.
9. If the game has "perks", use them to your best interest. This DOES include "iron lungs" type skills that give you longer running distances, because if theres an emergency you're gonna have to get out quickly.

So sad that I'm a close-quarters guy...
This man speaks the truth, and because of this I can say that I am indeed a good sniper. Especially in TF2, aaaa I love 2Fort, and no I don't just camp the battlements that's dull and it violates point 6. So much fun.

feh. I don't really care much for snipering. I'm more of a kamakaze. but that only really works for halo. but I must say. having the grand ol' sniper wars with freinds online once in awhile is pretty dayum fun.

(yes I did mean to say dayum but thats not the point!)

aaaaaanywho. yeah I'm not a big fan of snipers but I'm not saying I hate them.

just the cocky assholes that think their cool cause they're hiding behind a rock 10 billion miles away. even though a bullet couldnt even go that far.

Well then, if you think that you missed something, so i'll repeat

"Try me"

PSN: Spirultima

I'll even let you pick the match.
If I had a PS3 I might have done...then again all the highest ranked players are all on the 360 section...(just sayin')

Me thinks your nothing more than an arrogant pub player that wouldn't make it in a clan - you go on and on about how a good sniper needs to let their team-mates know where the enemy are, close down routes etc...

Newsflash; nobody plays as a team in pubs (particularly on PSN where the majority do not have headphones); your not an amazing player if you do well in them - particularly as a sniper, because your not playing against an organized opposition; the difference in skill and focus on team play is tremendous. Its interesting how you issue all these challenges but refuse to join an online league - you certainly meet the criteria for "pub scrub"...

try gears 2 snipeing
That is possibly the most grammatically incorrect sentence I have ever read on this forum; there is a mistake in every word...

Never mind; I used to enjoy Gears, but the sniping on that, much like Halo or CoD isn't really sniping. The sniper in Gears allows player to no-scope with ease - therefore I don't count it. Not only that but the hit detection is terrible, you can fire a shot and watch it pass through the other side of the opponents head...

Gears sniping is easy, the only reason people find it difficult is the fact the hit detection is so far off.

If a squad of soldiers run through a normal sized room and you manage to get a head shot on all of them before they exit the room on the other side AND you have an escape plan ready just in case someone tries too make it too your sniper position you are a awesome sniper (extra points if you have at least 3 sniper spots on every map of the game you are playing)

Yeah, I created a PSN account on my PSP to download FF7...

You really think I would be that stupid and claim not to have a PS3 if I did...?
Well regardless, you call me a "pub..whatever" but if that's all talk no action, and i say "bring it", your IQ doesn't seems so high, so it was feasible.

I don't brag, I just get the job done. I've played alot of Battlefield 2 of late and I find sniping is the only way to avoid people prone jumping in front of you and turning you into swiss cheese. Sniping them as they go prone suits me better as they are slower and I also like to hunt other snipers.

Sniper duels are sometimes epic and there's a good rush when you take part in them so I find sniper my favourite class.

Want a real challenge sniping, find a good server with rank 15+ players in MGO and try sniping.

IQ doesn't equal intelligance...

And how is that any different from me saying buy a 360 and I'll play you - oh wait, not going to fork out the money to buy one - guess its all talk...

Trust me, your a "pub scrub" - an arrogant one at that, but one that can't back up his skills in a real match. Your not a good player because you play on consoles, your not a good sniper because as we've just proven you know nothing about it. Your not a good player period because you'll only play public. The fact your actually insulting my intelligence when you can't create feasible argument and actually backed down to some of my points just proves your own idiocy.

Guess its been decided; you pretentious dumb shit.

I'll prove you wrong in 6 words: Prove it and prove me wrong. Unless you can back up everything you've said, well then i guess it makes it easier to shrug a single persons presumptions off without hesitations. I've never said im the best, i admit i die, frequently, my point has always been, there are 2 types of snipers, 1. the real someone who will use a sniper whenever possible, in story, CQC maps. and 2. the seasonal sniper he will come to the sniper every now and then, but doesn't use it that much. I want to see how many number 1 sniper there are.
