I'm not disagreeing with you that getting sniped is usually annoying, but how does it turn out when you snipe?
If it is so easy, why not do it?
If it is so overpowered, than why not use it?
You use the FAMAS, which is hands down the best assault rifle, and you use the best class and the best kill streaks. I don't get why you'd hate on sniping.

Also, a fun fact, the people are probably completely scoping in, but it doesn't show up on killcam.
I know it doesn't show that they're fully scoped in on the killcam. That's was pretty obvious though, or at least I thought that most people knew that. For the record, I was saying that I can't even ADS an AR by the time I've been quickscoped, not that they don't even scope in to kill me, but that's irrelevant.

I don't really snipe, but whenever I do, it's still crazy easy. I don't quickscope because I'm not 12 years old. I don't **** myself whenever I shoot somebody with a sniper in a video game after doing 500 spins. It's just not fun to me and it's inconsistent.

Before people scream about me saying it's inconsistent and tell me, "Well if it's so inconsistent, why u arguin den?!/1!." When you play against someone who weighs about as much as a fully grown elephant that sits around his house all day playing MW2 and does nothing but quickscope and is consistent, it's annoying.

Basically, I'm trying to say that in a sense, it's too easy in this game particularly. Being able to ADS that quickly and have no sort of idle sway is stupid, whether everyone can quickscope or not. Just because some people are terrible and miss 9/10 shots doesn't mean it can't be OP. Black ops got it just right.

I'm also not seeing why ARs are brought up, as my frustration is from snipers. I don't care what AR I get killed by. I love getting killed by them, actually, because it means somebody actually shot me fairly most of the time instead of tubing me. All the ARs are good anyways. I've used the famas forever, but I still have more luck with the ACR and Tar a lot of the time.

Last thing. Who says I use the best killstreaks? I never put anything on but UAV, CUAV, pred. Even in black ops I never used anything above that, go check. I use that setup religiously, so yeah, not sure where that came from. I don't use high killstreaks because I like to play CoD how it used to be played without anything but 3 5 7. Mowing people down with a noob gunner or calling in a pavelow that gets all the kills for me shows absolutely nothing in terms of skill.

Guns ADS faster than snipers.
How are you getting killed before you aim?

Quickscoping has nothing to do with trick shotting, which is dumb. Only trickshotters are 12. People who actually play competitively and snipe are usually adults. See: Optic. I'm not a fanboy but they don't do trick shots and they're good.

When you play against someone who weighs about as much as a fully grown elephant that sits around his house all day playing MW2 and does nothing but quickscope and is consistent, it's annoying.
Quickscoping is not inconsistent. Trickshotting is. Where did trickshotting come into this conversation? And if something is INCONSISTENT, you can't make it consistent. If it is inconsistent, the player has to be inconsistent. If it is too easy, how it is inconsistent? If someone has to play all day to be good at it, how is it too easy? Why do people's weights have to come into this equation? I weigh 140 and play cod for MAYBE an hour a day, and just recently, and I'm consistent without practice.

Basically, I'm trying to say that in a sense, it's too easy in this game particularly. Being able to ADS that quickly and have no sort of idle sway is stupid, whether everyone can quickscope or not. Just because some people are terrible and miss 9/10 shots doesn't mean it can't be OP. Black ops got it just right.
There is sway. How is it too easy? Not everyone can do it, and it is hard to do better in a game with it.
The whole point of quickscoping is to challenge oneself, because USING A REGULAR IS EASIER. My little sister can do it. My 12 year old sister got a nuke by sitting in a corner with an RPD extended mags and dropping harriers where I told her.
Resphonshes in bhold.
TL;DR, the whole point of sniping is to challenge oneself, and trickshotting is dumb and inconsistent, but sniping competitively is difficult.

Assault Rifles are 10 times better than snipers and you need to stop complaining about people that handicap themselves.

Simply trying to say that in MW2, it's too easy. In CoD4, WaW, and Black ops, it's difficult.

MW2 is the only game where the sniper ADS time benefits from sleight of hand, which is why it's so annoying to me. Could care less if I got sniped in CoD4 or black ops.

That's not the point. It's easy enough for the random ****ing grandma to do once, but it's not a viable playstyle and you will lose every time.

It's ****ing bad, you can't argue otherwise.

EDIT: Can't argue otherwise and still be right, forgot to mention that.

I'm not saying it's a viable playstyle and you'll have success every time you do it. Yes, it is bad, I'm not arguing that it's amazing. I'm saying that when a sniper can kill me from every range so easily, I question how much of a sniper it is.

I've been sniped/quickscoped in black ops countless times and I haven't had a problem with it. People barely quickscope me in that game anyways because the sniper has characteristics that make it act more as though it's meant strictly for medium to long range.

I'm not trying to rag on on everybody in the world who snipes in CoD or enjoys doing well by handicapping themselves by using a sniper or whatever else they choose to do so. Most of the frustration I experience from sniping is all situational. MW2 wasn't exactly supported, so aside from the models patch, the guns were never tweaked. To be honest, I would say aside from the lack of SP in black ops, they got it just right with the guns. Everything feels right in terms of recoil and where (insert gun of your choice here) is categorized. That game had its own problems obviously which was perks, but if every CoD had the gun balance that BO did I'd be perfectly happy.

This is just my opinion, by the way. I wasn't trying to start a flame war, but everything always gets blown completely out of proportion on these forums anyways so I guess it was silly of me to think that people could just agree to disagree on something. It's a game, I'm not that concerned with getting everybody to agree with me on this one.

once

i tubed from C dom to A dom in invasion

ololololol
Sounds like you haven't tubed from A to C dom on rundown, or C spawn to A flag on wasteland dom. Two of the easiest tube spots, pretty much.

With danger close, you'll usually get at least 5+ kills off those spawns and once you have harriers, well, yeah, you get a nuke (usually).

ohhh so thats where they get me on wasteland!

and I typo'd, I meant C dom to B dom on invasion
The rundown/wasteland ones are insanely easy to hit. I remember getting 6 people in wasteland GW.

Unfortunately, air support gets shot down rather quickly these days. Totally dependent on the people you're playing against if you're going for a nuke.

Here is how it went: "Hey, you want to try to get a nuke on this game, kid?"
"YEAAH"
"Here is your class. You know how to shoot and all of that. Just wait here and shoot anyone who comes into this door. Wait behind this barrel"
"KAY"
"Use that chopper gunner"

DUDUHDUHDUHDUHDUHDUHDUHDUHDUH

Nuke incoming.

You must teach me one of these days. :cool:

Yeah, if they shoot down your harrier or CG quickly, your chances are pretty slim. I honest can't imagine getting 25 straight gun kills. nope.avi

Real men get insanely high killstreaks using only their guns!

Wish I could remember what mine was... I definitely know I've gotten some 3-4-5 nukes.

Or maybe switch it up for ac130 on wasteland/afghan if you feel daring. It's actually fun to use the ac130 on those maps. :awesome:

I feel like with how quickly choppers get shot down now it's almost more useful to use the ac130 anyways. It may not get you crazy fast kills, but to be honest, with a 34 second timer until you're done most people don't even bother to shoot it down. By the time you can put 3 stingers into one alone they're probably almost done in it anyways (even assuming you don't die, get 2 stingers off, kill yourself then shoot another one lul).

Helps if teammates aid you in shooting it down, but that rarely ever happens so why even bother.

I hate you. I wish there was an option to disable the stupid "join in progress" feature for friends and recent players.
That would stop so much friends ruining each others killstreaks and trolling. Tell me about it...

Me: I'm about to get my chopper gunner!
*friend joins*
*noob tube*

I hate it.

Still can't stop laughing about this.

Tim: "I'm one away, help me!"
Me: "Follow me, I'll help you find someone"
*Fuelbi joins*
*Tim and I run through a doorway and Fuelbi proceeds to danger close RPG Tim on 24 kills*
*Tim Rages*

Never going to forget watching Tim's body fly so far. Too funny.

Yessssssssss. I usually shoot down Chopper Gunners before they manage to get more than like, 4 kills. Sometime I finish them before they even get one, lolololololol.

AC130 is infinitely manlier anyways.

ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!!!



lol bye!

The Doctor ODIN has left the game/disconnected

Those things are such a pain in the *** to bring down. NO ONE else on my team helps, and it takes 3 stingers to take them out. Notice I said stingers, not SPAWNS.

It takes probably 10+ spawns. :mad:

It's actually funny when people call in a CG/AC130 when I play with a full party.

We all hear the "enemy chopper inbound," kill ourselves and stare at the sky in the direction it's coming from with stingers. Love hearing people in the lobby rage about how they got 0 kills with their chopper gunner. :awesome:

Not to mention I play with your friendly neighborhood sam turret, sir Bob. <3

...shut up. I'll never forget that gaming moment as long as I play a Call of Duty game. :mad:

And I'm sure this is how it went...


FFFFFFFUUUUUuuu!!!!
...yes. I was *this* close to ripping the game disc out of my 360 and smashing it against my forehead.

I second/approve of this post.

This is why I specifically have an anti-air class with scavenger/soh, CB and stinger missiles. :oneeye:

So I actually used Nuke as a killstreak for the first time today and I got one. I'm rather displeased with the way I got it, though. I told myself I wouldn't do it in a really stupid way, but I ended up OMA Tubing on top of the building on Terminal in Demo. It wasn't for a Nuke though. I was really pissed at these kids I was playing against and I just happened to get up to a Nuke. >_>''

I can haz entry into the club?

Don't feel bad Delta, I got my nuke by camping in the middle building on Karachi with a full party with OMA DC claymores and pro pipes. :urg:

Sorry about leaving abrubtly.

The wife and I are hosting an event at the house today (a retro game day of sorts), and she wanted to go on a walk with her sister before other guests arrived.>_>

Was fun playing with you guys. I'll catch you guys later.

I sure do love playing that Riot Shield class.

And I unlocked that ACR finally.
