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?

Alright, you win. I honestly didn't know people could fire them like that.

It's cool, bro. You just have to take everything you've learned about guns from people who play Xbox, and moreso CoD, and then research it for yourself. You're right about one thing though, you're not going to be able to aim for shit with the Barret while standing up, gun's way too heavy, but it's completely possible with guns that fire smaller cartridges, like the M40A1.

It's already been answered with a "yes".

Of course they're meant to camp. You don't run out to the middle of the desert and try to quick-scope people. Makes no sense. Snipers are supposed to give troops a little support. In CoD I like to quickscope because it's unbelievably fun, and I can do it while being a tactical sniper cross map so mission=accomplished.

I agree. The diversity of the sniper is great, I can use it effectively at close ranges, aim confidently over long ranges and can be sure that I'll only need one bullet to kill. Do you play on PC and have a SteamID? Might be cool to team up with you.

Nope, I play on PS3. If I played on PC I would be dead because of how little IW cares about it.

IW don't give two shits about their fanbase and community on any platform.

Meh, PC seems to have attracted lots of whining kids too, a lot more than I've seen on consoles, who'll incessantly accuse you of being a wall-hacking aimbot just because you kill them through a bloody wall. You're probably better off on console on all fronts. >.>

I agree
but it also depends on mode
because I am a sniper maniac (I mean I pwn as sniper)
I know that standing in one place during ctf or hunt the flag is not a good idea...unless in ctf you have a good place to sit and defend your flag (instead of trying to take flag you defend)

Yeah, you guys are f*cking stupid. You don't really start to feel any recoil until you're firing FGM-148 Javelins, and even then it's hardly enough to require special training. How about you all get your heads about of your asses, since everyone knows you learned everything you know about weapons from Xbox.


You're the f*cking retard, and anyone else who gets their ammunition values from a CoD game is retarded.
AA-12 can shoot atleast 200 yards away, and has a grenade launcher round specifically made for it.
Intervention can shoot up to a mile and a half away, and after 400 yards travel for the bullet, its kinetic force is stronger than a barrett.
Not just that, but shooting the Intervention requires a device to calculate:
Location on the Planet
Wind Power
Wind Direction
And I also think time and date
All these because they add up to the accuracy on the Intervention, it shoots so far you need to take in the fact of earths orbit.

Now take your head out of your ass, and don't make rediculous assumptions.

It's cool, bro. You just have to take everything you've learned about guns from people who play Xbox, and moreso CoD, and then research it for yourself.

I suppose I'll forfeit now, you got proof and evidence, and I honestly don't think its worth it (you are probably right, especially with what you follow with after).
And yes, as above, I do research it myself
One of the most annoying things is the er.. measuring of effectiveness on MW2 and CoD4, for one, the Vector (also known as the Kriss) uses 9mm rounds and is supposed to have more power than an MP5 (or MP5K I would imagine).

There's also a fairly modified M4A1 gun called the Beowulf (no, seriously), it shoots 50. rounds (and stood up) at a rapid fire rate, and is also quite small for personal defense and escorts or some urban combat (would easily penetrate a wall).

Oh and on a last note MrPossible Instabability, how stable are you handling an actual weapon since you seem to have the experiance of an SAS operative, a combat medic, and a sniper?
