On Modern Warfare 2 I was sick of how little decent spots there actually were for snipers so I ran around with M4 w/ suppresor, cold blooded/ ninja combo and scavanger, quick scoping is bassically a showmanship thing. It doesn't affect your ability to gain kills it's just showing off, I prefer to show real skill in game by playing properly and tactically, unfortunatly Call of Duty doesn't like tactical...Malyc said:

I'm amazed that people are really annoyed that you have to use a rifle the actual way now. It really speaks volumes about the kind of players CoD tends to have. This series has always at least attempted to bend towards realism, why would you be surprised that they aren't going to help you do something that would never ever work in reality?
I feel like going rage on this thread, and all those crying "o now you'll have to use it like a real sniper" you do realize every COD map is extremely close quarters, there might be one or two long range "alley" spots every few maps and even then you can snipe with an AR. It breaks even long range sniping cause you have to figure out when you can actually fire even though your scope is on them. It's going to be so frustrating watching replays seeing your reticle dead center and the bullet not even getting close.

Seriously, if you're going to use a sniper rilfe, don't complaing that you can't use it that is not it's intended purpose.
This is true, but I can't count the number of times I ran by a PRONE player who slashed at the front of my feet and I fell dead. or when you knife someone in the arm and they die... They ***** about realism in videogames when you can kill a man by knifing his bloody hand... Come on...Malyc said:
Sure... 2-3 seconds is a bit much, but snipers are not meant to run around on the ground. they are meant to hide. "Sniper's nest" means something. I look around, I find them, I kill them with a pistol from behind. FOr fun. SNipers are the one class I don't care too much about camping, becase it's what they are madeto do
This is just a rant on COD snipers in general, but shouldn't the sniper rifle be accurate even if I'm no looking down the sight. No soldier would actually fire a weapon from the hip and just because I'm not scoped in doesn't mean my gun should hit the wall 80 degrees to my left because I'm not looking down the sight. Sorry I just hate that about COD, and all the other games that do that.
No quickscoping, fine by me
2-3 seconds wait, might be a little long how 'bout 1-2?

I used m4 ACOG, just bc i hated the sights on the m4... but you are correct, cold blooded pro, ninja pro, and scavenger is the ultimate combo for any weapon. My personal favorite go to weapon is the FAL ACOG. That is the combo i switch to when the game just isnt goin my way...0z0wen said:

Love how the video narrator complains about quickscoping beng a legitimate playstyle while calling hardscoper "*****-ass snipers", bascailly belittling another legitimate playstyle. Just because the developers decided that quickscoping wasn't realistic doesn't invalidate that other playstyle. It smells a bit of entitlement, IMPO.
In my opinion they should add that you couldn't hit the target with burst fire on assault rifle like you can't. And that you can hit nothing with pistols. And that you'd have to predict the movement when the target is in move and further than 25 meters. And that you could hardly hit target if not in aiming position already while standing and the target is more than 15-20 meters away. So you'd have to learn to shoot.
Not hard to grasp... In the army you have to be able to hold your breath for two full minutes. Doens't seem like but, but two minutes withou tbreathing is an eternity. Why do you need to do this? To be able to steady your rifle for a shot!Malyc said:
In th army, they will set a sniper out into a certain area and tell him: Hide for 1-3 days. We find you, you lose. we radio you, you win. Why? SO they they know how to hide... So why do people get so pissed when a sniper hide and has to steady his shot?
Oh my god, you actually have to snipe now, instead of abusing auto-aim and bullet magnetism.
Snipers (or DRMs) are not supposed to be up close. They are supposed to be in the back, annoying and picking off troublesome enemies. They're not supposed to have the highest kills, or the most score.
When you pick a sniper rifle, you are making an active decision to take a weapon suited for a certain purpose and role. Its not the weapon's fault that it doesn't what your twisted imagining of it is.
If someone gets up on you while you have a sniper, either hope your secondary or team can save you; because sniper rifles aren't supposed to, or even going to work at close range.
To put it more bluntly; if someone gets close enough to you where you are in danger of being shot or need to quickscope, you just failed as a sniper and deserve whatever fate is coming.
If you want to be up close, don't be a dumbass; bring an SMG, AR or Shotgun with you.

There is a way to get around this... You could learn how to actually take the fight to the camper... Like I do in Combat Arms. Camping has as many disadvantages as advantages, particulary with all the kill streaks that involve large amounts of firepower falling from the sky.Mr. Omega said:
