I saw this Call of Duty: Black Ops trailer in which a sniper gets bombed after a remote controlled model car strapped with a bomb device (cute, ain't it?) got him. So I'm confused now. Are snipers supposed to camp?
It's Black Ops, by Treyarch. I am no fan of CoD games but as I understand, Treyarch doesn't like the Noscopes, Quickscopes and tricks snipers make, this is probably and incentive against snipers.
In either case, you are always allowed to camp (but you shouldn't as spec ops, unless of course you're in a small room :P )
Snipers aren't attached with scopes so that you just lift it up to your face for a few milliseconds and fire. In real life snipers often find places where they can overlook the guys with machine guns and give them cover from somewhere higher up.
Besides, if you fire a Barrett whilst standing up you're going to go flying back and land on your arse. Oh, and then have back pains for the rest of the day -- the kick back on those things seriously isn't friendly and it's the same case for practically every other sniper on the planet -- you do not fire those things standing up.

The M95 Barrett 50. Cal has the power to brake your arm with mere recoil, it would probably take serious training to be able to handle one properly. And yeah, Snipers aren't like they are in games, they are scouts, strategic marksmen, or cover fire operatives.
Yes they are supposed to camp, they provide tactical support and pick of the machine-gunners, other snipers etc. so their squad doesn't get killed before they can reach the enemy.

You guys are retards and should feel bad. .50 isn't that large a round, and it's completely possible to fire it while standing without a problem, it's just pointless.

lololoollol
Most 'snipers' use rounds that don't have that much recoil, unless you're a 6 year old immigrant with the muscles of a dying calf.

Falling on your arse was an exaggeration. Firing a Barrett whilst standing up will hurt like Hell in the morning though.

They're still not something you can freely sprint with a pull up to your face with perfect accuracy in mere milliseconds.

It is sharp metal It brakes peoples arms off It pierces inches of metal It spins as it punctures through anything
Mostly what describes the barrett

And thats the Intervention
And yeah, recoil would push you back a decent amount with a barrett, other snipers, not so much.
Other snipers don't use barely as large rounds but still has big pushback (nowhere near enough to push your feet back, unless it scared you lol)
And yeah, on a last note, your attitude doesn't help that much to anyone, people will probably resist your reasons if you come off as a douche.
