when i play video games i choose the sniper rifle mostly cause i'm good at it. also plzzzzzz plz plz plz plz plz DON'T mark this as spam all of my previous threads are locked cause some 2 year old thread might be about the same thing.
well if it's call of duty then mostly machine gun but if it's certain maps on halo reach then sniper and for battlefield 3 then once again depending on the map i may choose one or the other
Sniper for distance. Makes it easier to take out people when they aren't all that close, you don't even need a head shot. Some Sniper Rifles pack so much punch no matter where you hit, aside from limbs, you'll get a kill shot.
Machine gun for mowing down people in close combat. Fast rate of fire and larger magezines makes for bullet fun.
I suggest that we have scenarios so then it is easier to pick which one you would choose.
But i would always go with the machine gun because it is good for close, medium range. But can still shoot far too. I sniper would be not match in close or medium range because it shoots bulllets alot faster and it has alot more bullets. But in the long range a sniper would win almost all the time because a machine gunner could hide and lure the sniper in closer.
A sniper would never get in closer against a machine gunner it makes no sense. The machine gunner would have to find a way to make it to the sniper without being picked off along the way.
Id go for sniper if im playing MW2 because i once got like 22 kills and 14 deaths just using a sniper and was best in the game. If anyone gets close i will quickscope them
