Sorry but sniping is for noobs. Anyone could just aim and get a 1 shot kill. Try using a weapon that actually requires skill, like the rockets.

  • 07.18.2007 10:34 PM PDT

Haha, I sure do hope you are kidding.

  • 07.18.2007 10:36 PM PDT

sniping takes way more skill then a rocket launcher anybody can just shoot away and get a kill

I'm not. I would pick up the noob combo before I even pick up the snipe, since atleast the noob combo it requires 2 shots to kill someone: the plasma and the BR shot. While with the sniper you can just kill someone in one shot, while hiding halfway across the map. How nooby is that?!

Yeah, I'm glad you agree that anyone can just shoot a sniper bullet and get a kill.

DL watch you terminology man. That "00" sounding word merits a very strange visit from Disembodied Soul.

Getting onto the subject, I used to be quite good at sniping. When I started out I was a 28, but lower in my Slayer.

So, I upped my sensitivity to near 10 to try it out. After much failure I became good. Very good and climbed in rank, but my sniping suffered. On my new account I couldn't get past 7 (not my fault though...) before the reset.

But I'm not horrible. And I've been getting better. And then the line was cut....so it doesn't matter now.

but most noobs cant even hit someone in one shot they could shoot all 4 shots and not even hit anybody

With the rockets you have to be careful or else you would kill yourself too, with the snipers you can never kill yourself.

You're completely wrong! The n00bknife takes even more skill because it doesn't function currently 95% of the time I use it.

Maybe you should stop sucking 95% of the time then.

  • 07.18.2007 10:45 PM PDT

Dude, the sniper, it only takes one shot if your good and can get a headshot. Most snipers don't camp anyway, they usually are quite fantastic no-scopers(like myself). With a rocket launcher, If you shoot anywhere in a 10 foot premises the target it obliterated. Look how small a sniper scope is. Small, look how big the RL scope is. Big. I'm sure you say the sniper takes no skill because you are horrible with it.

Have none of you got a visit from Disembodied Soul?

What the hell man!! I don't even say the word and he tells me I'm in trouble for saying it.

You people only seem to know how to say that word....I think he's got it out for me or something...

  • 07.18.2007 10:47 PM PDT

Haha, I feel sorry for you Rellik. I've never seen Disembodied Soul. That is quite funny.

Your sniper record: 50 Wins out of 119 Games Level 18
My Sniper record: 78 Wins out of 107 games. Level 28

Yep, I'm horrible with it.

Those stats do not reflect my skill at all. I spend most of my time trying to help out the noobier(Hi Disembodied Soul) characters of the game. Please look at the games In-Depth before you make false accusations.

After further veiwing of your stats, I realize that you are actually quite a magnificent player. Sorry for stereotyping you for you commenting on the Rockets take more skill than the Sniper

You're the one making false accusations by saying I was horrible with sniper. I spend most of my time trying to help out noobies too, thats why I play so many games, because tons of them are with lower level players whom I'm trying to teach.

It's just not fair.....

Regardless, in customs (where you can actually show off your skill). Sniper games come up rarely. Mostly the FFA and TS games. Being good at sniping isn't a game changer (although.... sometimes...) in regular games.

Being good with it is something to add to your resume, unless of course you guys feel differently.

That is okay, as long as you realize now that the rockets do in fact take more skill than the sniper.
You can BXR someone with the sniper and get an instant kill.
While with the Rockets if you BXR someone you also die, which is more skillful since Bungie does not promote button glitches and thus punishes you for it.

  • 07.18.2007 10:56 PM PDT

I can't say that I see why you beleive RL takes more skill,if you see a sniper you can easily sprary him with bullets to keep him out of his scope. RL is a done deal. You're dead.

Boiler Up!!
Go WINGS!!
Go Lions!!

In my opinion (and it is only that) almost all weapons take a bit of skill to use. Saying that though anyone can pick up one weapon and learn to use it well. To me the best players are the ones who can take any weapon and win. Sniping is good if you can get at least a kill every two shots you shoot. But you need to be able to defend against people who will close on you.

I agree entirely. I just think that the sniper takes more skill to use than the rocket launcher.

  • 07.18.2007 11:02 PM PDT

if you realy learn how to use the sniper its realy hard to do bad and realy you could kill yourself with the rockets and you only have two shots before you have to reload
