Shenmue18 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Used to absolutely love sniping in Call of Duty 4. Especially on maps like Bloc, Pipeline and Overgrown where you had a few good buildings to set up shop at. Haven't played COD on a regular basis in a while though.

Norsea Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 It's amazing how this stuff has survived through so many years. I used to try and do some of this stuff, but fell behind. I wasn't cut out for it. It's cool and all, but I'm looking for something new and exciting. Most of the stuff in the video has been done before..

Mista J Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) I used to be an alright quick scoper back in CoD4. I only did it when I was caught in close quarters. While playing I was mainly a support sniper, defending the objectives. It was fun as heck. Nowadays I rush flags or stay back as support with an LMG.

Drunken Cowboy Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 When I was a wee lad, my mamma always said "a good sniper is polite, efficient, professional; but above all, patient." A sniper on the battlefield provides overwatch, taking his time and picking off priority targets at a distance... And then there are people who use overpowered weapons in a terrible .01 second kill-time game killing you with a shot to the ankle from around the corner shattering ear drums with their "GET N0SC000000000000000P333D!" battle cries. Last online CoD game I enjoyed was CoD 2, what a joke that franchise became.

Th3MaN1 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 The only game where I really enjoy sniping is Battlefield 3. I cannot hit my target for sh*t from distance, but when I get that long range headshot, it's satisfying. My longest was 459 meters, and it felt really good.

GTA_fear Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Sniping in CoD died after WaW, so please, don't call it "sniping", it's something else. What Drunken Cowboy said.What Th3MaN1 said. The little time I've spent playing BF3, I mostly sniped, and had a blast. So many more factors you have to count in when using a sniper rifle.

Particularly in Modern Warfare ones. Correct there was on map on Battlefield where the map was huge but if you had a powerful enough gun and scope you could snipe across the map and i used to do it all the time and i would hear over the mics about me hacking because they couldn't find me but here i was still on my base across the water.

Ss4gogeta0 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Call of Duty is not a sniping franchise... it was in United Offensive but that ship has sailed... Call of Duty is a joke now... too many quick scopers... its retarded... I only play Black Ops 2 anymore and even then too many QS squeakers... its fun to just straight up demolish them with a silenced five seven... Although in some of these I ended up grabbing a Remington off a dead body and going crazy with it... How I play call of Duty I deal in human lives!

Its weird for me in Battlefield... in BF 3 I use the pistol more and im usually either doing a Stealth run or playing as a support sniper... My BF3 Battlelog but in BF 4 I gravitate more towards the DMR's and do alot of Infantry work on the front lines... My BF4 Battlelog Im still not a person you would want to play against on BF 4 lol although the college dorm net has been laggy as hell due to all the 360s hooked up to it Once I got a round ending killcam quickscope on Black ops 2 and everyone on there mics were screaming. Best feeling in the world. You do realize that quickscoping is actually a form of cheating right? Thus is why Treyarch/Infinity Ward are trying to get rid of it... it exploits a bug in the game that gives you near perfect accuracy during the first few ADS frames thanks to auto aim... You cannot bring up the argument that I am only saying it because I suck, because in all truth I am actually positive that I am better than you and 90% of the people here... the proof is in the spoiler on my previous post... Honestly, anything you have achieved in call of duty through quick scoping doesnt count... you cheated to get those things... Just like how Lance Armstrong used steroids... you need to start over and EARN everything with a normal weapon loadout...

esmittystud101 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Sniping in Exo Zombies is pretty fun. Its a one hit kill until round (upper teens or so). After that, there is no use for it.

X S Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I'm a retired COD montage editor lol, so I've seen my share of montages, probably over hundreds of them. The problem is that every 12 year old kid thinks he's gonna be the next FaZe trickshotter and spends countless hours in S&D attempting to 360 no-scope everyone. He thinks FaZe SLP is gonna edit one of his montages one day, when in reality, he's just wasting his time and avoiding the objective. Kids like that are cancer. However, speaking of SLP, I'll share with you one of his greatest montages. The trickshotter in this montage is Pamaj, before he left FaZe. He's probably one of the best snipers out there. This montage is a collaboration of the best sniper and editor out there. Oh, and then there's your standard dubstep montage. One of my favorites by Pride nV at the time.

GTA_fear Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) And then someone says: "one of the best snipers out there" again... But what I see is a guy running in the middle of the map, in the heart of the action, using his rifle as if it was a machine gun, which is the complete opposite of what Drunken Cowboy said about snipers. I'm not saying this Pamaj guy doesn't actually snipe sometimes, but if he only does what he does in those montages, then he's not really a sniper. It's always easy to pick out the best shots and kills, put them into a montage and be like: "ouh yeh im awesme look at how i PWN people all the time!" Speaking of videos, here's one that's approximately 144x better than those montages.

Daz Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Well call of duty is your first problem. You are already removing a lot of what real snipers have to deal with. Even just weight alone would make sprinting around sniping and quickscoping difficult. The game is already void of realism, where 1 bullet won't effect someone yet a knife to their armor instantly kills them. Anyway, in terms of a game like battlefield I would prefer to be sniped and killed than just sniped an injured. The problem is lack of skill or learning with sniping that some people just can't do, so they give you faster firing sniper rifles and that just becomes irritating like an insect constantly annoying you. It goes against the whole point of sniping. If in the real world it took multiple shots of a .50cal to even stop someone moving everyone would be bumrushing the battlefield on rollerskates just like how it plays in call of duty. The issue is lack of damage realism, once you make bullets more lethal like they should be the more it forces you to adopt better tactics, or tactics full stop. I want one sniper to be able to take out an entire squad, it makes for better gameplay. But guns will always be nerfed in AAA arcade shooters. It has to account for worser players. Anyway if I ever snipe in battlefield it is almost always just to counter-snipe someone. I run around with my pistol out (not an auto pistol neither) and run with a squad and shoot and move. It is so much easier to get kills by waiting to spot people camping and pop out quickly and headshot them. They will always be in the same typical spot but you can be anywhere. I love shooting idiots off of cranes and buildings. Sniping and gameplay in shooters won't ever change unless they change the lethality. Guns are meant to be overpowered, they are guns ffs. As soon as that happens then you might see more things like weight, weapon cleaning + jams, different ammo types and other factors get taken into account to make it harder to use such a weapon.

hvcciookay Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sniping stopped existing to me after CoD 2. Then the sniper rifles essentially became railguns from Quake and the gameplay went in that direction too. If they slow the pace down and make the maps bigger or more open like overgrown, then you can have viable sniping. It's not a bad game design either, it's just a game as you said. You can quickscope in pretty much any game that allows you to scope in, from Sniper Elite to Destiny to Battlefield. Besides, no one does it to be competitive unless they're a tryhard to the max because in the end ARs and SMGs will always triumph over Snipers close to medium range. Those feeds youu see in montages probably come once or twice in a day if anything.

Th3MaN1 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I consider it bad game design because the game allows the player to quick-scope. You can quick-scope in other games as well, but it's much more harder. Did you try quick-scoping in Counter Strike or Battlefield? It can get you that kill, but the instances are rare. It's much hardern to get the kill in those games than CoD.
