there's no such thing as a 'higher level' of sniper play in CQB. you're just bragging yourself up.

snipers had an amazing function and a real ability to change a match in cod1/cod2

in cod4 they became over-rated, easy-kill fragging movie fodder

in mw2/black ops they seem to be totally outruled. you basically need a controller with auto-aim for them to be of any benefit.
What are you on about in MW2? They still rule the roost.

i mean in comparison to the effectivity and use of snipers in cod1/cod2

they're just a further extension/watering down of cod4's use of the sniper as a frag-movie tool

the maps for one just aren't big enough or designed well enough to make a sniper really a force to be reckoned with

just a little gimmick for jumping around pulling 'nice' shots

He does have a point, the only way to use a sniper now is with an ACOG. the actual scope zooms in too far, and the maps are too cluttered.

i had a hell of a time using the SVD even on that large-r snowy map. Zoom time takes forever and the maps are small still

agreed, it just doesn't work

the fact that all other guns have recoil/spray deviation for console gamers (i.e. easy to control with joystick) means that the sniper really doesn't have an 'edge', either. hence my point about it needing a console-type autoaim to really hold its own. you're just playing with a purposeful handicap to try and snipe on 80% of black op's maps. the low-rank assault rifles are infinitely better at middle-range and do just as well at long, sniping distances, too.

You get hit less standing still, I shit you not if you move the recoil just sends the bullets right at you.

haha, I'm just waiting on the second tourny my PnT is gonna have, hopefully gonna go back to win it.  On the other hand sniping is considerably harder now.  The L96 seems like the only sniper that gets a 1 shot kill consistently even though the PSG-1 is only half a bar of dmg under it.

Also, sniping gets fun if you play around with it and learn it well.  The L96 rapes face once you get good with it.  The variable zoom attachment starts out with a 4x zoom, and makes it easier to snipe close up people. ( I think the basic scope has a 8x zoom or something.) And the CZ75 is a 3 shot kill and has an attachment to make it automatic, so close up defense is easy mode.

I think most people are still stuck in the easy as fuck shit fest that was MW2 and are expecting this game to be just as easy.  Change is good, embrace it.

Not really, sniping is considerably harder, and kill streak kills don't count towards the next kill streak.  That alone makes it "harder." The game is easy, most console FPS are easy.  Only FPS I've ever found to be hard was CS.

Well, let's see. Laggy as shit, even with everything turned down. CPU maxes out before the GPU. Can't use single-fire weapons effectively because they bug out and you can't shoot or reload. Only played one online round and went 33-8 thanks to a silly care package with a gunship in it. Couldn't shoot down enemy helicopters because they were stuttering/rubberbanding across the sky.

Mainly I've been sticking to Combat Training for easy kills and goofing around with weapons/attachments. Will move on to human players when things get fixed up better. Besides, it might even do good playing against bots who are using, well, aimbots.

Maps are really boring, though. Nothing special. At all. Even MW2 had a few maps that weren't generic.

How do you define a map as generic? It's something you've never played before.  And that's why you don't play CPU, play on a console.  For the most part it's lag free and all those problems you just stated don't exist.

I just don't see how you can be bored with a game less than a week after it's release.

Consoles and fps games have never mixed well for me.  My arm and wrist is far more accurate than my thumb.

Generic, nothing unique about it, bland.
I play this game on PC because it's an FPS, which means mouse+keyboard.

Singer player storyline is fucking atrocious. I haven't been experiencing the lag issues that a lot of people have been, but the game manages to get my i7 930 @ 4Ghz up to 60% usage??? the fuck? most poorly optimised piece of shit ever. Spawn system in multiplayer is fucked, and there are a couple rape weapons and no one uses anything else.


Admittedly I'm still playing it, but mainly because I have fuck all else to do. Some of the Vietnam missions were alright. They should've just made a COD: Vietnam instead of this amnesia/interrogation/brainwash piece of rubbish. And the sadest thing is that they will keep making these shit games because they keep making shit loads of money.
