Also fore warning, my NAT is on strict and currently I cannot change it. We have lost the password and I need to contact my ISP to change it. So I might be randomly booted from games or not connect. It's not cool.

What would be a good sniper setup for someone like me who just starting sniping?

I'm not really feeling sniping in this game, maybe I'm missing something, I dont know.

My favorite class from when I was a noob sniper.

Barrett .50 Cal + HBS + Thermal
Akimbo G18s + ext. mags
Bling Pro
SP Pro
Steady Aim Pro
Claymores
Stuns

Bling is probably unnecessary, and you might be better off with Slight of Hand or Scav, but HBS is great for snipers and has saved me many a time whenever I hear it beep, and the thermal just makes sniping so much easier. You'll probably be called a noob for using these attachments, but you'll do well enough with them that you shouldn't really care. I have nuked with this setup many times, only class I've done it with outside of OMA+DC noob tubing.

Barrett .50 Cal HBS
USP. 45 Akimbo
Stuns / Claymore
SoH
Stopping Power
Steady Aim
Painkiller

I personally have never used the HBS, but I recommend it to anyone starting off. Don't rely on it too much though.

Yeah Steady Aim Pro definitely adds an advantage to beginning snipers.

Well, when I first started sniping, I used the Intervention.

But this is my setup as of right now:

-WA2000/FMJ
-Akimbo G18s
Slight of Hand Pro
Hardline Pro
Ninja/Commando Pro
-claymores and stuns

I don't use the WA2000 as a spamming sniper. I usually always get one-hit kills with it. Just hit the chest or above and it's a one-hit kill. You don't need stopping power either, unless you're using it silenced, since the damage decreases over range for the silencer.

But if you want to be a real noob, use the M21 EBR and just spam, spam, spam.
and don't forget to camp

Silencer brings it to 50 damage at all ranges, it doesn't decrease it over range like the ARs.

Cold-Blooded Pro is 20000000x better, just saying.

And no, snipers don't lose damage over range when silenced. They normally have a BP of 70, but is reduced by 20 (50) when silenced. When silenced, no sniper will kill in one hit without stopping power at any range.

Ya, I've been switching off and on between hardline pro and cold-blodded pro. It's just that hardline makes it so easy to get my predmissle, harriers, then pavelow.

I mean, the guy, Lowie UK, or HavoK Lowie as he is in that vid, is really good.

I don't give a **** anymore about looking "pro" anymore. I used to use the Intervention, but in actuality, other snipers are better.

I'm not saying he's not good, I just don't get the whole INTERVENTION IS 2 PRO ZOMG mentality with all these guys quickscoping on Youtube.

If everyone used the Barrett for these videos, it would at least make sense.

I never liked the Barrett...

Ok, I need some answers about quick-scoping since my friend and I have been arguing about it. I think that quick-scoping is spotting and enemy, and sighting up for like a split-second and then shooting, while he says that quick-scoping is when you don't even scope up all the way. He says, instead, you shoot right before you look through the scope, while the sniper is technically in the way and you can't even see your enemy.

NOW WHO IS RIGHT? iamrightya?

It's either, although the latter is more luck-based. Some people use stickers in the middle of their screen to help out with them. I'm pretty sure you can order them online somewhere too.

EDIT: http://www.tshirtnow.net/collection...usable-scope-decals-for-your-xbox-360-console

Here's an example.

No problem, let me know if you like it, I've been meaning to try it myself but I'm not sure if it will help me all that much.

Forgot to mention earlier in the sniper rifle suggestions, when you get comfortable with quickscoping, you absolutely want to switch to sleight of hand, and it will allow you to quickscope faster and more accurately.

I said it before, but the Intervention is used more than any other sniper because everything else is training wheels. Semi-automatics are a lot better and youtubers think it doesn't take a lot of skill to pull off a win with one. People see these amazing players do incredible stuff with it. To name a few, OpTic Gaming, Small Beans, Bobby, Zerkaa, the Exile clan.

I use the Intervention over the Barrett because something about a bolt action just makes me feel comfortable. In CoD4, the M40A3 was second to none and each sniper had a use. The M21 was the Gamebattles sniper as you could slap on an M16 with Overkill. The rest you can figure out.

I know why people do it, but it's such a scrub attitude. It would be like people using Pichu in Melee and claiming they're awesome for doing a couple of cool tricks or taking some stocks... you'll still be better off using Fox.

It's not necessarily like that because the gap between Intervention and Barrett really isn't that big. I know you think it's incredibly bad and I'm not sure why but there's not much I can do about that.
