because fuck good snipers.
i sniped a lot in Halo 3 thanks to my friend, MW2 and BO. it was shit in CoD because nobody plays like that. its worse in BO because snipers only have pistols, the crossbow and the ballistic knife, so you cant get to a decent position (unless its Array and you get to the pylon fast)
also, people hate the good ones because:
thats my friend i mentioned before, and he gets a lot of rage from the other team.
that channel is 80% sniping and 50-50 Black Ops and Reach.
That video is.. strange. He aims behind his target and hits?

he sped the film up a bit, he was still aiming but it didnt show. plus, if you watch A Betrayal Story you notice he's a jammy bastard.

Because spotting the movement of two pixels and using your Mountain Dew-enhanced reflexes to push two buttons in order requires more skill than finding a good spot and a good firing lane, and waiting for that moment where your enemy is centered in your crosshairs.

At least that's what seems to be the case these days.

Anyone else note that he MISSED most of those shots? At least in RL he would have, he was whole feet off of many targets and behind their movement, not leading, and the lame game gave him the kills anyways. COD multiplayer SUCKS for hit registration.

He got one excellent headshot that I saw though, kudos for that, nice shot.
the thing is, IRL, he wouldnt be running around like that. another reason sniping in BO is pretty much impossible: you dont even have a shotgun or smg.
Dude, NOBODY runs around like that. He hit his first target, turned and ran to the right about 12 feet in 1.5 seconds (maybe less - seriously), then when he turned and targeted the soldiers crossing the road, they were ALL doing like 20 miles an hour! Like 4 full strides a second, they looked like friggin jackrabbits.

And yes I know it's the "perks" that let them do that. I own MW1 and 2 and played the multiplayer on both until I realized how pointless and mindless they were, and how ridiculous the perks were. Modern Warfare should really be named "Fantasy Colosseum", because when you kill the opposing team your god will give you magical powers and sometimes take you up to his bosom and let you throw lightning bolts down on the enemies blarrrg don't get me started.

Tards like that are merely like that because they have no other truly valuable skills to offer themselves/community etc. That being said, they're just people who (for the most part) can't function properly in society. While I'm at it, I'm not saying all quick scopers are like this, I'm saying MOST of the quick scopers that dismiss people as having lack of "skill" because they cannot quick scope are.

This is pretty much it. Multiplayer has never been about fun, but about finding the most pathetic glitch to abuse that can be found.

Cause they are wannabe tryhards, but really they are casuals ruining a game. I feel if you wanna snipe hard scope. If someone sneaks up on you its either ur fault/spray and pray. They majority of the cod populace(which was stated above) think the game should be played their way. Play unmotiated, Noob tube the moment you begain to lose, snipers are to quickscope, whore yourself to the fallowing(spas, ak47, stopingpower/fmj combos, tact kneives,ect.) and all round just be a bisexual cock, just waiting to be raped or be played with some1s left hand. srry but those fags just send me on rants. Hard scopes are ok.

Haters gonna hate. Bitches gonna *****.

You ignore them and kick their ass again in the next round. They can't argue with success.

wait... so its just looking into the scope, getting a kill then putting it down? its not like auto snapping to a target before you really look though the sight and just getting a kill?

My brother is like that. He tosses up these fucking ridiculous conniptions because people are using stun grenades or hardscoping or using fucking machine guns or something. Yes, what a bunch of fucking dicks, using features from the fucking game to enjoy themselves. How dare they not play by your made up rules.
This very post should be placed in quotes alongside the dictionary definition of "noob".

But if you played CoD you'd know how poor anything but quickscoping actually is. Quickscoping is how you use sniper rifles in it, just like how firing on full auto is how AR's are used in CoD. Reality is irrelevant. Sitting scoped in for half the match slows it down but it doesn't really matter because hardscopers are easy free kills.

Also:
Dragscope = Using the autoaim to hit kills before you even register the zoom image in your brain, commonly mistaken for quickscope. Not possible on PC versions, and rightfully despised on console since it's simply an exploit of the aimbot they have in it.

Quickscope = mobile snipers. scope in after spotting, and shoot as soon as you line up. By far the strongest way to play snipers, especially in MW2 with the M82A2

Hardscoping = Sitting scoped until an enemy crosses your scope and then you fire. Little sense was made by people calling that realistic since real snipers don't use the scope to acquire targets, there's another guy with binoculars spotting people and directing the guy with the gun to the target.

It seems that you are under the impression that "enjoying" the game that you have bought is part of playing, no no no, this ideal is no longer in chic. You see, you cannot play the game you like the way in which you enjoy playing, no only noobs do that. Instead what you need to do is obey arbitrary rules for the challenge. You see, that is what is important. We all know by now games are not meant to be enjoyed, because only the inexperienced (and thus inferior) of players believe this, and as it is important for all to know, that only experienced players are qualified tell you how to play a game.

On another note, a couple new rules have been instilled for your gaming experience, these include only playing after 48 hours of sleep deprivation, removing your right eye (Why rely on your depth perception?), No touching the controller, the development of Psychic Powers, and playing elusively with the video game console off.

I actually had a friend tell me I was being cheap and camping by monitoring high-traffic areas and waiting for an enemy to run by. I always thought bad camping was waiting outside of spawn points, but apparently it's the opposite. I don't know anymore D:

In CoD, anything but running around with an SMG giving the other team free kills is camping, apparently. "Cover" and "tactics" are for people who haven't practiced their 1337 360 n0sc0pez.
